Strategy

|---|---|---|
| Clawitzer | Electric / Grass | Mega Ampharos's Thunderbolt and Chesnaught's Wood Hammer both hit super-effectively. |
| Starmie | Electric / Grass / Ghost / Dark / Bug | Lots of options. Mega Ampharos Thunderbolt is the cleanest. |
| Gyarados | Electric ★ ★ ★ | 4× weak. Mega Ampharos one-shots with Thunderbolt. Dragon Dance is the threat — finish before turn 2. |
