Only Professor Kukui stands between you and the victory now. And, if you’re using a Vikavolt, be careful around Kahili’s Toucannon, which knows Rock Blast. Watch out for Mandibuzz, who knows Bone Rush, which could hurt any Electric Pokémon you might be using. Kahili brings Flying-type Pokémon into battle, so come prepared with an Electric, Rock, or Ice Pokémon.Īnother fairly straightforward battle, you can opt to switch in a Fire-type Pokémon against Skarmory, or just hold steady with your trusty Electric-type. Kahili's got a diverse team of Flying Pokémon. Other than that, Psychic-types are a good option as long as you don’t run the risk of getting hit by a Dark-type move. Again, Alolan Ninetales could be helpful here thanks to its Ice-typing and resistance to Dark- and Ghost-type moves. Be careful if you plan on using a Fire-type against Dhelmise, as it knows Whirlpool and could cause you trouble. An Alolan Ninetales with Moonblast might be a good option here. Sableye’s sole weakness is Fairy-type Pokémon, so hopefully you’ve made things easy on yourself and have a Pokémon on your team that’s either a Fairy or knows a Fairy-type move. Make sure you have some way to heal confusion in your bag, too. Their resistances and diverse movesets could spell trouble for a number of your Pokémon. Things start to get a bit tricky when you decide to approach Acerola, who specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon. Next!Īcerola likes her Pokémon spooooooky. Be on the lookout for Crabominable’s Z-Move, though. Hala’s last two Pokémon - Poliwrath and Crabominable - can be taken down with Electric- and Fire-type Pokémon respectively. Flying-types are helpful in this instance. If you’re worried, use something that doesn’t bear a weakness to Dark-type moves. Hariyama and Bewear can be taken out in the traditional way, but while a Psychic-type seems like a good option for Primeape, just be aware that Hala’s knows Pursuit, which can do a fair deal of damage.

Psychic-type Pokémon are normally the default counters to Fighting-type Pokémon, but you’ll note that Hala’s team has a lot of hybrids that you’ll need to adapt to. Hala is back and he’s brought a new team of Fighting Pokémon to judge how you’ve improved over your adventure across Alola. Hala's Fighting team will be tougher this time.
