    The Level 75 Tera Lucario at Dalizapa Passage is a strong option.

    If playing pokemon scarlet and violet, Koraidon (a Dragon and Fighting Legendary) can be used.

    If playing pokemon scarlet and violet, Miraidon (an Electric and Dragon Legendary) can be used.

Tips
  • A Fighting type or two is highly recommended as they are strong against half of Nemona’s team, especially if you picked Fuecoco.
  • Nemona will be excited to battle you, especially if you use Legendary Pokémon.
  • The Tera Lucario is effective against Lycanroc, Dudunsparce, and Orthworm.
  • The Tera Dragonite or your Legendary Koraidon/Miraidon can be used against Goodra.
  • When facing Terastallized Skeledirge, find ways to mitigate damage from its Tera-boosted Torch Song.
  • When facing Terastallized Meowscarada, its Flower Trick attack never misses and always criticals.
