Tips
- For Twins Isa and Nico: Use Fighting-type moves against Happiny and Poison or Steel types against Igglybuff.
- For Pokémon Breeder Yuka: Morelull is 4x weak to Poison, Fire, or Steel. Ledyba is weak to Rock, Fire, Flying, or Electric.
- For Gladion: Zubat is weak to Electric, Rock, or Psychic. Type: Null is a Normal-type with good all-around stats; Fighting-type moves are effective.
- For Pokémon Breeder Cory: Paras is 4x weak to Fire and Flying. Spinarak is weak to Fire, Flying, Rock, or Psychic.
- For Rising Star Duo Lauren and Justin: Both are Flying-types. Electric or Rock-type Pokémon are recommended. Fairy moves are effective against Vullaby. Focus on Rufflet first.
- Feebas is extremely rare; a bubbling fishing spot increases your chances.
