Strategy and Tips

Bruno's main strategy revolves around his powerful Fighting-type Pokémon. They hit hard, but they have some key weaknesses you can exploit.

Exploit Flying-type Weakness

Most of Bruno's Pokémon are weak to Flying-type attacks. Pokémon like Pidgeot or Fearow can dish out significant damage. If you don't have a strong Flying-type, consider using moves like Fly or Wing Attack.

Beware of Onix and Tentacruel

Bruno's Onix in the first round is a real tank. It's resistant to most Fighting-type moves, so you'll want to use Water or Grass-type attacks. Tentacruel in the second round is a Water/Poison type, making it weak to Psychic and Ground-type attacks.

Psychic Power

Psychic-type Pokémon are also a great counter, especially against Tentacruel. Starmie or Alakazam can make short work of it. Just be careful, as some of Bruno's Pokémon might have coverage moves that can hit your Psychic-types hard.

General Advice

• Level Up: Make sure your Pokémon are at a decent level. It makes a huge difference.
• Status Conditions: Don't underestimate the power of paralysis or poison. They can really turn the tide in your favor.
• Switch Wisely: Pay attention to type matchups and switch your Pokémon accordingly to avoid unnecessary damage.

With these tips, you should be able to overcome Bruno and move on to the next challenge. Good luck!
