How to Defeat Yvon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Weaknesses and Counters
Trainer battles in Pokémon Legends: Z-A are a core part of the campaign, and knowing as much as you can about your opponents will give you a significant advantage. One of the early trainers you will encounter is Yvon. With the right preparation, this battle can be a breeze. Here’s everything you need to know to defeat Yvon effectively.
Yvon’s Team and Their Weaknesses
Yvon’s team consists of three Pokémon:
- Spritzee (Level 15, Fairy-type): Weak to Poison and Steel; strong against Ground and Psychic.
- Swirlix (Level 15, Fairy-type): Also weak to Poison and Steel; strong against Ground and Psychic.
- Vivillon (Level 16, Bug-type): Weak to Flying, Fire, Rock, Electric, and Ice; strong against Dark, Grass, and Psychic.
Effective Strategy and Counters
While type advantages are important, the most crucial factor in this fight is the level of your Pokémon. Having well-leveled Pokémon can make this battle relatively straightforward, regardless of type matchups.
– If you chose Chikorita as your starter and have been leveling it consistently, note that Chikorita works best against the first two Fairy-types (Spritzee and Swirlix), but it may struggle against Vivillon.
– For Poison-type counters, you can catch Weedle in Wild Zone 1 and Ekans in Wild Zone 4. With some quick leveling, these Pokémon can be strong additions to your team for this battle.
– Personally, I was lucky to have my Tepig evolved into Pignite, which handled Vivillon effectively, and I used an Alpha Bellsprout to deal with the first two Fairy-types.
Summary
– Focus on leveling your Pokémon adequately before facing Yvon.
– Use Poison or Steel-type moves against Spritzee and Swirlix.
– Use Fire, Flying, Rock, Electric, or Ice-type moves against Vivillon.
– Consider catching and leveling Weedle or Ekans if you need Poison-types.
– Your starter Pokémon can be highly effective if used against the right opponents.
With these tips and a well-prepared team, defeating Yvon early in the game will be a smooth experience. Good luck!
