·Multi-source verified (78/78)

Sidney is the first member of the Elite Four and specializes in Dark-type Pokémon. Dark-types are weak to Fighting, Bug, and Fairy-type moves. His team consists of a Mightyena, Shiftry, Cacturne, Sharpedo, and Absol. Mightyena is a pure Dark-type, Shiftry is Grass/Dark, Cacturne is Grass/Dark, Sharpedo is Water/Dark, and Absol is pure Dark. A strong Fighting-type Pokémon like Machamp, Hariyama, or Blaziken (if you chose Torchic) will be very effective. Fairy-types like Gardevoir or Azumarill can also deal super-effective damage. Bug-type moves from Pokémon like Heracross or Scizor are also good options. Be wary of Sharpedo's Speed and Absol's high Attack. Ensure your Pokémon are around Level 50-55 for this challenge. Bring plenty of healing items and Full Restores.
