GuidePokemon X and Y PhasePhase 9 Section5/12

You can fight any of the four members in any order. The boss room has four glowing doors. Pick wisely — the optimal order depends on your team composition.

★ Default optimal order (balanced 6-Pokémon team)

  1. Wikstrom (Steel) — easiest first match. Fire or Ground sweeps quickly. Builds up Lum Berry / Full Restore confidence.
  2. Siebold (Water) — moderate difficulty. Electric (Mega Ampharos) and Grass (Chesnaught) handle the team. Barbaracle is the only tricky pick.
  3. Malva (Fire) — Rock + Water counters. Be careful of Talonflame's Brave Bird priority.
  4. Drasna (Dragon) — saved for last because Fairy (Xerneas if you caught it!) sweeps her. Hardest is Noivern Lv 65.
  5. Diantha (Champion) — Mega Gardevoir Lv 68. Steel/Poison/Ghost counters.

If your team is heavy on a specific type, adjust accordingly:

  • Team heavy on Fire? Lead with Wikstrom (Steel weak to Fire) for easy XP, then save Siebold (Water resists Fire) for last to set up.
  • Team heavy on Water? Lead with Malva (Fire weak to Water).
  • Team heavy on Fairy? Lead with Drasna (Dragon weak to Fairy).
  • Team heavy on Ground/Fighting? Lead with Wikstrom (Steel + Ground = clean sweep).
