Struggling against Jacinthe in Pokémon Legends: Z-A? Get the best counters and strategies for each of her five Pokémon, including Carbink, Aurorus, Mawile, Gardevoir, and Mega Clefable.
Alright, so you've run into Jacinthe, and she's brought a whole team of five Pokémon to the fight! Don't sweat it, though. We'll break down exactly who she's using and the best way to counter each one so you can move on with your adventure.
Jacinthe's Pokémon Lineup & Counters:
| Pokémon | Level | Counter Types | Recommendations |
| Carbink | 57 | Water and Ice | Blastoise is a fantastic choice here. It hits hard with Water and Ice moves, and you can even teach it Steel moves like Iron Tail or Flash Cannon via TM if you want extra coverage. |
| Aurorus | 58 | Fighting, Steel | Lucario is your go-to for Aurorus. Being both Fighting and Steel type, it’s perfectly suited to take this Pokémon down with ease. |
| Mawile | 58 | Fire and Ground | Camerupt is another Pokémon that fits like a glove. With both Fire and Ground typing, it has a full set of super-effective moves to quickly defeat Mawile. |
| Gardevoir | 58 | Ghost and Steel | Chandelure is your best bet here, as it’s both Ghost and Fire type. This gives you a full offensive advantage. If you don't have a Chandelure ready, don't worry – plenty of other Fire and Ghost types can do the job if you've been training them. |
| Mega Clefable | 59 | Steel, Poison | There isn't one single Pokémon that perfectly counters Mega Clefable with dual typing. Your best bet is to avoid using Steel and Fighting or Poison and Bug type Pokémon against it. This means you'll want to sit out any early-game bug Pokémon or Lucario for this specific fight. Stick to Pokémon that have moves that deal 2x or 4x super-effective damage, and you should be fine even without a perfect counter. |
Hopefully, this helps you get past Jacinthe! Even if you don't have the absolute perfect Pokémon for every slot, as long as you're bringing Pokémon that can hit her team with 2x or 4x super-effective damage, you'll be able to win. Good luck!
