Stats / Weaknesses:

• Type: Ghost
• Weaknesses: Dark, Ghost
• Resistances: Poison, Bug
• Immune to: Normal, Fighting

Phases:

1. Allister will start with his weaker Ghost-type Pokémon, gradually bringing out stronger ones as the battle progresses.
2. He often employs strategies that rely on status conditions like confusion or paralysis, so be prepared with healing items or Pokémon with abilities that counter these effects.
3. His ace Pokémon will be revealed towards the end of the battle, requiring a focused and powerful counter-attack.

Strategy:

• Recommended Pokémon: Dark-type Pokémon like Grimfang or Shadowclaw are highly effective. Strong offensive Pokémon of any type, such as the starter Pokémon or any with high Attack/Special Attack stats, can also work if they have super-effective moves.
• Move Selection: Prioritize Dark-type moves (e.g., Bite, Dark Pulse) or Ghost-type moves if your Pokémon can withstand Allister's attacks. Moves that hit multiple targets can be useful if Allister uses stat-boosting moves.
• Item Usage: Have plenty of Full Heals and Potions. Consider using X Attack or X Special items to boost your Pokémon's offensive capabilities for a quicker victory.
• General Tactics: Focus on taking down Allister's Pokémon quickly to prevent them from setting up status conditions or powerful attacks. If you're struggling, consider grinding levels or finding Pokémon with better type matchups.
