Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/The Elite Four: Difference between revisions

While focusing on Fire-type [[Pokémon]], Flint mixes his team with various [[Pokémon]] with different types to stand an advantage against his opponents. His [[Pokémon]] are {{bp|Rapidash}}, {{bp|Drifblim}}, {{bp|Infernape}}, {{bp|Steelix}}, and {{bp|Lopunny}}. Rapidash, Infernape, and Steelix are all susceptible to a Ground-type move such as Earthquake, but don't use a Rock-type Pokémon or you'll be hurt badly by Infernape's Fighting-type moves. Flint also has two non-Fire-type Pokémon as well. Lopunny is fairly weak, but don't test your luck with a Special Attack, as it knows Mirror Coat. His other non-Fire-type, Drifblim, is a very odd part of his team: it has no Fire-type moves except Will-o-Wisp, but this burns you, so watch out for that. Though he has ample HP, he is weak to Ice, Rock, Ghost, Electric, and Dark-type moves, so he should fall easily. Also, be careful of using Physical Attacks this time, as one of Drifblim's abilities is Aftermath, which gives you 1/4 of the damage you inflicted on him back to you, whcih will hurt a lot as he has a ton of HP.
