Strategies to overcome Rintaro’s team in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Rintaro’s roster consists of three elemental specialists. Prepare your countermeasures accordingly:

• Simisage (Grass-type, Lv.24) – Vulnerable to Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug moves. Resists Ground, Rock, and Water attacks.
• Simipour (Water-type, Lv.24) – Weak to Grass and Electric techniques. Absorbs Fire, Ground, and Rock damage.
• Simisear (Fire-type, Lv.24) – Susceptible to Water, Ground, and Rock elements. Resists Grass, Ice, Steel, and Bug moves.

If you chose Tepig as your starter, its evolved form Pignite serves as an ideal counter for Simisage. Alternatively, any Fire-type with Ember like Fletchling from Wild Zone 1 works, though higher levels are recommended. Consider

Against Simipour, Electric-types like Flaaffy (evolved from Mareep) prove effective. Water-resistant Pokémon like Binacle also perform well with proper training. For Simisear, Water specialists such as Wartortle can exploit its weaknesses, though Ground-types offer additional coverage.
