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.

The most effective Pokémon to use is {{bp|empoleon}} if you chose it as your starter if not then use {{bp|flotzel}} due to its hight speed and attack.
The most effective Pokémon to use is {{bp|Floatzel}} due to its high speed and attack.


=== Lucian ===
=== Lucian ===
Lucian is known to read books in between matches. Most of his [[Pokémon]] are dual-type. Lucian's [[Pokémon]] are {{bp|Mr.Mime}}, {{bp|Medicham}}, {{bp|Alakazam}}, {{bp|Girafarig}}, and {{bp|Bronzong}}. Using a lot of items and strong Dark-type moves, he is a tough trainer to defeat. The main strategy to bring about Lucians downfall is to head into battle with at least one or two strong Dark-type moves at the ready. You can make easy work of Lucian's Mr. Mime, Alakazam and Girafarig with a Dark-type move such as Crunch, but when it comes to Medicham and Bronzong, you need much more than that. Medicham can at times be lethal, especially with damaging and health restoring Drain Punch. If you can maneuver around and survive assaults from Medicham, you can defeat him with a few well placed moves. If you happen to have a Flying-type Pokémon, just use the move Fly (or any other flying type move) on Medicham, and it will be very effective. You can either steadily and most often unsuccessfully hack away at Bronzong health, or if you were lucky enough to choose Chimchar as your starter or catch and train a Ponyta, you can quickly dispatch the Steel-Psychic type with a hardy fire move.

The most effective Pokémon to use is any pokemon that knows ghost or phsycic type moves also a fire type pokemon will be very effective against bronzong.
The most effective Pokémon to use is {{bp|Drapion}} due to its immunity to Psychic attacks and its STAB Crunch attack.
 
Beware of Bronzong's Earthquake when using Drapion, as its weakness to ground type and weak sp. def will knock the big scorpion out before you have a chance to attack again.


==The Champion==
==The Champion==
=== Cynthia ===
=== Cynthia ===
Cynthia is the only female league champion in the games. Her Pokémon include {{bp|Spiritomb}}, {{bp|Garchomp}}, {{bp|Lucario}}, {{bp|Gastrodon}}, {{bp|Milotic}}, and {{bp|Roserade}}. Cynthia starts out with Spiritomb, who to your disadvantage, is weak to nothing and completely resistant to Normal, Fighting and Psychic-type attacks. Just throw any attack you have at it to bring the ghost down. Grass-type moves will send Gastrodon down with ease, also dethrone Milotic, but when using a Grass-type, beware of its deadly Ice Beam. You can make quick work of Lucario with Fighting, Fire or Ground-type attacks. Garchomp, Cynthia's highest at level 66, can be a nuisance with its heavy-damaging Giga Impact. If you have been playing Diamond, you will probably have Dialga in your party. If you have a Dialga on you, just bring it out, and rip through Garchomp with a combination Dragonclaw, Roar of Time. If you have Palkia, you could use the same combination as Dialga but instead of Roar of Time, use Spacial Rend. Or use some ice-attacks. Roserade is the easiest of Cynthia's Pokémon; with weaknesses Fire, flying and Psychic Types, you can quickly defeat it.
