Gym Leader: Korrina
Mienfoo – Lvl 29 (Fighting)
*Mienfoo shouldn’t be too overly hard with a Flying, Psychic, or Fairy type move. Just watch for Fake Out, which may cause you to flinch, and Power-Up Punch, which will raise Mienfoo’s attack after attacking. This means you want to take him down as fast as you can.
Moves:
– Fake Out
– Power-Up Punch
Machoke – Lvl 28 (Fighting)
*This one is very simple as you just need to use Flying, Psychic, or Fairy type moves. However, if you do go with an actual Flying type, beware of Rock Tomb which can easily take you down, especially if you are using the Fire/Flying Fletchinder or Talonflame.
Moves:
– Rock Tomb
– Power-Up Punch
Hawlucha – Lvl 32 (Flying/Fighting)
*Your very best bet for this Pokemon is a Ghost type Pokemon that has learned Flying or Psychic moves, such as Honedge or Drifblim. Hawlucha used Hone Claws multiple times, while being saved with two Hyper Potions, to raise his attack to max, so make sure to take this one out as fast as you can if you do not have a Ghost type that will be invulnerable against this Pokemon. Otherwise, just use Flying, Psychic, or Fairy moves with any other Pokemon.
Moves:
-Flying Press
-Hone Claws
Rewards: Rumble Badge, 5,120 (Money), TM98 Power-Up Punch
