Our strategy

Same team as at the Labs, only stronger: Mienshao and Honchkrow at level 47, Pyroar at level 49 and Gyarados at level 51.
Mienshao is weak to Flying, Psychic and Fairy. Honchkrow, Dark and Flying, is weak to Electric, Ice, Rock and Fairy. Keep an Electric move ready for Gyarados.

🤝The corridors, in a Double Battle team with your rival

Your rival joins you. Together, you take on Team Flare Admins and Grunts in Double Battles: each of you uses your own Pokémon, side by side. The enemies are almost all Dark types: Fighting and Fairy moves work wonders. Your rival fields Meowstic, Absol, their Eevee evolution and their starter Pokémon, at around level 46 to 49.

Our strategy

Mienshao and Honchkrow at level 49, Pyroar at level 51, now with Solar Beam.
Gyarados, at level 53, Mega Evolves as soon as it enters the battle: Mega Gyarados becomes Water and Dark, with the Mold Breaker ability, which ignores defensive abilities. It loses its Flying type: Electric moves now hit it for only double damage, as do Grass, Bug, Fighting and Fairy moves, and it becomes immune to Psychic.
Your new legendary Pokémon is the ideal weapon: Xerneas with its Fairy moves, or Yveltal with its Dark moves.

Defeated, Lysandre decides to use whatever energy the ultimate weapon has left. You evacuate the HQ with your rival: the weapon’s blast falls back on the base itself and destroys it, leaving an immense crater in the middle of Geosenge Town. AZ, now free, thanks you.

Professor Sycamore soon calls you: he is waiting for you in Couriway Town. Route 18 is now open.

Next step: Route 18, Couriway Town and Professor Sycamore.
