Venus is a cunning trainer who uses status conditions and tricky Pokémon. You'll first encounter her in The Under.
First Encounter (The Under)

- Shadow Pokémon to Snag: Shadow Suicune (Level 40) - Water type. Weak to Grass, Electric.
- Strategy: Suicune is a bulky Water-type Legendary Beast. Bring strong Grass and Electric-type Pokémon. Ampharos (evolved Flaaffy) or Meganium (evolved Bayleef) are good options. Milotic is a Water type, weak to Grass, Electric. Gardevoir is Psychic/Fairy, weak to Poison, Ghost, Steel. Roselia and Vileplume are Grass/Poison, weak to Fire, Ice, Flying, Psychic. Venus's team can inflict various status conditions, so bring Full Heals. Focus on snagging Suicune, then counter her Grass/Poison types with Fire or Flying moves.
