Florges Is Tulip's Terastral Pokemon

Tulip will Terastralize her Florges to turn it into a Psychic type. Quickly defeat it by using a Pokemon with either Ghost, Bug, or Dark moves to quickly defeat it.
Ghost, Bug Or Dark Types Are Highly Recommended

All of Tulip's Pokemon are Psychic Types. This means having Ghost, Bug or Dark Type Pokemon will be very advantageous against her. Avoid bringing Fighting and Poison types since they are weak against Psychic. Dark Types are also immune to Psychic Moves so you can use that to your advantage.
Be Careful Using Dark Type Against Gardevoir

Gardevoir is the only Pokemon in Tulip's team that has Fairy Type moves, so be careful when using Dark Type Pokemon against it. Before Tulip brings out her Pokemon, it might be best to switch our your Dark Type Pokemon out.
