The Final Boss Trainer

Master the Final Boss Trainer challenge in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Learn Veteran Aristo's Pokémon, their held items, and effective strategies to win.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Veteran Aristo's Team:
  • Carbink (Lv. 65) - Rock/Fairy (Held Item: Light Clay - extends Reflect/Light Screen duration)
  • Torkoal (Lv. 65) - Fire (Held Item: Heat Rock - extends sunny weather duration)
  • Pelipper (Lv. 65) - Water/Flying (Held Item: Damp Rock - extends rain duration)
  • Ninetales (Alolan) (Lv. 65) - Ice/Fairy (Held Item: Icy Rock - extends hail duration)
  • Gigalith (Lv. 65) - Rock (Held Item: Smooth Rock - extends sandstorm duration)

Phases:

1. Carbink: Uses Reflect, Light Screen, and Stealth Rock. Weak to Steel-types.
2. Torkoal: Triggers Drought for sunny weather. Uses Fire Blast and Solar Beam. Weak to Water, Ground, and Rock-types. Counter its weather.
3. Pelipper: Triggers Drizzle for rain. Uses Hydro Pump and Hurricane. Weak to Electric-types.
4. Alolan Ninetales: Triggers Snow Warning for hail. Uses Blizzard and Dazzling Gleam. Weak to Steel, Fire, Rock, and Poison-types.
5. Gigalith: Triggers Sand Stream for sandstorms. Uses Stone Edge and Earthquake. Weak to Water and Grass-types.

Strategy:

• Carbink: Use Steel-type attacks immediately to counter its defensive support moves.
• Torkoal: If Torkoal sets up sunny weather, it powers up its Fire Blast and enables Solar Beam to skip its charge turn. Cancel its weather with your own or abilities like Cloud Nine.
• Pelipper: Electric-types are highly effective due to Pelipper's Water/Flying typing and its generally lower speed.
• Alolan Ninetales: Steel-types are ideal, but Fire, Rock, and Poison-types are also effective against its Ice/Fairy typing.
• Gigalith: Water and Grass-type Pokémon are recommended. Be mindful that sandstorm boosts its Special Defense.
• General: All of Aristo's Pokémon hold items that extend the duration of their respective weather or battle effects.
