How to beat Fantina in Pokémon D/P

How to beat Fantina at Pokémon D/P

First thing you need to know is her Pokémon, so let’s check them out:

Drifblim

Lv 32

Gengar

Lv 34

Mismagius

Lv 36

As you can see, they’re all ghost Pokémon, so Ghost and Dark attacks will do great against them. Unfortunately, ghost is good against itself, so don’t use ghost Pokémon here. The only type that is good against Ghost is Dark, so that’s the type you should use (If you have one)

In Diamond, you have been able to catch a Murkrow, a Dark/Flying type. It is resistant against ghost attacks, so Murkrow it is. It has handy Dark and other attacks. He learns Assurance at lv 25, a dark move, good against al three of them. Faint attack at lv 35 is even better.

If you don’t have a dark Pokémon, no worry, Drifblim is also a part Flying, so Rock, electric and ice attacks will also do the trick. A Pokémon like Cranidos or Graveler is good against Drifblim with their rock attacks

Gengar is part Poison, but has the ability Levitate, which make him immune to Ground attacks, but not to Psychic. You CAN use psychic Pokémon here, but Gengar is generally faster and will take them down before your Kadabra or antoher psychic can do it. Fortunately, Gengar is fragile and will die to two strong neutral attacks.

Mismagius can be annoying and strong, but again, Mismagius is quite fragile in the physical side so a Staravia with a strong flying attack will eventually take Mismagius down. He is also immune to Ghost attack, another good adavantage.

Many luck against Fantina!
