|---|---|
| Vaporeon | Vaporeon has a powerful Water Type attacked called "Hydro Pump" that it learns at Level 45. It's can easily bring down any Fire Pokemon. |

| Dugtrio | Dugtrio can be a highly effective Pokemon in this fight. Teach it "Dig" or level it up to learn "Earthquake" in order to wipe Blaine's Fire Types onto the floor. |
Using Partner Pokemon Not Ideal
Unless your partner Pokemon is extremely over leveled, it may not be the best to bring in this fight. If you choose to do so, try to utilize its element specific attacks!
Partner Pokemon
