Strategy
| Mon | Counter | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Klefki | Fire / Ground | Prankster Thunder Wave is annoying. Lum Berry recommended. Fire 2× Steel + 0.5× Fairy = 1× net; Ground 2× Steel. |
| Probopass | Fighting / Ground / Water | 4× weak to Ground + Fighting. Mega Lucario's Aura Sphere one-shots. Watch Sandstorm chip. |
| Scizor | Fire ★ ★ ★ | 4× weak to Fire. Mega Charizard Y's Flamethrower or Delphox's Mystical Fire one-shots. |
| Aegislash | Fire / Ground / Ghost / Dark | ★ Mega Lucario with Sacred Sword bypasses King's Shield. Mega Gengar with Shadow Ball + Sludge Bomb. Mega Charizard Y with Flamethrower also works. |
★ Optimal lead: Mega Charizard Y (Fire 4× on Scizor + 2× on Klefki/Aegislash) or Garchomp (Earthquake hits Probopass and Aegislash). Bring at least one Fire mon — this is Fire's gym day.
