Tips
  • The Mightyena are weak and can be defeated easily.
  • Camerupts can be defeated with a single Surf attack from a Water-type Pokémon.
  • For Golbat and Crobat, watch out for their high speed. Electric, Ice, or Rock-type attacks are effective.
  • If you struggle, Steven will assist you in the battle.
  • HM08: Dive allows your Pokémon to dive underwater for one turn and attack on the next. To use Dive, look for dark patches of water while surfing. You will know you can surface when you see the message "Light is shining from above."
