Strategic planning trumps raw power in this encounter. Gwynn’s squad utilizes debilitating tactics to disrupt standard approaches. Prioritize swiftness, type effectiveness, and status ailment prevention.

Effective Countermeasures

Opt for Dark, Water, and fellow Ghost-type combatants to neutralize Gwynn’s tactics effectively.

  • Greninja (Water/Dark): High mobility with Dark Pulse and Aqua Jet
  • Mega Absol (Dark)
  • Aegislash (Ghost/Steel): Defensive stance with Shadow Claw
  • Mega Gengar (Ghost/Poison): Speed advantage against fire users
  • Umbreon (Dark): Resilient against status manipulations

Implement Shadow Claw and Dark Pulse for consistent pressure against Gwynn’s primary team members. For Chandelure’s fiery assaults, employ Hydro Pump or Aqua Tail while maintaining positional awareness to dodge Will-O-Wisp.

Counter Gourgeist’s seed-based tactics with Blizzard or Stone Edge, exploiting its Grass-type vulnerabilities. Incorporate Safeguard or Nasty Plot to either block status effects or amplify your offensive capabilities progressively.

Optimal Battle Gear

  • Expert Belt for type-based damage boosts
  • Quick Claw for initiative advantage
  • Shell Bell for sustained recovery
  • Mega Bracers for evolutionary enhancements
