Golem still has Sandstorm and Earthquake but has replaced {{bp|Brick Break}} and {{bp|Gyro Ball}} with {{bp|Fire Punch}} and {{bp|Thunder Punch}}. Since most Grass or Water types have either enough Defence to endure these moves, or enough Speed to strike before Golem can use them, it is still easy to defeat. Golem has {{bp|Rock Head}} which is completely pointless without {{bp|Double-Edge}}, the only move Golem can learn that gives Rock Head any use. It should have {{bp|Sturdy}} instead.

Gliscor is probably Bertha's most dangerous Pokemon. It uses Earthquake and all three of the Elemental Fangs, {{bp|Ice Fang}}, {{bp|Thunder Fang}} and {{bp|Fire Fang}}. Thank your lucky stars that Gliscor does not have {{bp|Sand Veil}} since you're likely to be having to deal with a Sandstorm throughout most of this battle and the last thing you need is for Gliscor to become harder to hit. However {{bp|Hyper Cutter}} prevents it from loosing any Attack power, which is bad since it is a powerful Physical Attacker. Gliscor also has strong Defence but its Special Defence is nothing special and it does have a massive weakness to Ice type moves.

Hippowdon is almost exactly the same as she was in Diamond and Pearl except that she has replaced {{bp|Curse}} with {{bp|Yawn}} and is no longer Bertha's highest level Pokemon, having been demoted to third highest leveled, after Gliscor and Rhyperior.

Speaking of Rhyperior it is a very powerful Physical Attacker but, like Golem, extremely vulnerable to Water and Grass types. Rhyperior uses Earthquake, {{bp|Megahorn}}, {{bp|Avalanche}} and her signature move {{bp|Rock Wrecker}} which is the Rock type version of {{bp|Giga Impact}}. For some reason this Rhyperior does not have {{bp|Solid Rock}}; instead she has the completely useless {{bp|Lightningrod}}, which is only useful in Double Battles. Oh well, it makes things easier for you.
