Dark Type Moves Are Recommended

Bite

Almost all of Bede's Pokemon are weak to Dark Type Moves. Even if the Pokemon is not a Dark Type, they can have a Dark Move.

Galarian Ponyta Is Psychic Type, Not Fire

Be careful, the new Ponyta that Bede brings out is not a Fire type, it is in fact Psychic! Dark moves will make quick work of it.

Watch Out For Morpeko

Morpeko is a new Pokemon whose type changes every turn from Electric to Dark. Pay attention to what type it is & vary your moves accordingly!

Use Fighting And Flying Moves

For Morpeko and Scraggy, fighting moves work well. However, be careful when Morpeko changes forms as it will be less effective if it's Electric.

Gym Leader Kabu - How To Beat

Watch Out For Centiskorch's Flash Fire!

You may think that because Centiskorch is half bug type, you could do normal damage using a fire move, however Centiskorch's ability Flash Fire makes it immune to fire damage.

Bring A Rock Type!

Carkol Dynamax

Dynamaxing a Rock type a turn or two before Sentiskorch comes out will almost certainly guarantee you an easy victory. Carkol is a good choice here. Gyarados is also a good choice here.
