How to win:Ice is the key — the three Dragonite are 4× weak to Ice, so Lapras, Piloswine, or Jynx can carry this fight. Electric handles Gyarados, Aerodactyl, and Charizard; Rock is 4× on Aerodactyl and Charizard. Exploit Hyper Beam recharge turns, heal paralysis, and do not let the Lv 50 Dragonite snowball.

Heads up: Lance hits harder than anything in Johto. Be at least Lv 50 across your team, bring a stack of Full Restores and Revives, and lead with your Ice attacker to delete the Dragonites before they set up.
