Hey everyone! I’m facing a tough challenge against Giovanni. His lineup includes Persian, Nidoking, and Dialga, and I’ve tried a few strategies, but nothing seems to work. Any tips on how to tackle this trio?

I totally get your struggle, man! Try using Melmetal with Thunder Shock and Rock Slide against Persian; it’s a great way to generate energy quickly and hit hard. Giovanni always shields the first couple of attacks, so hitting fast is key. If you happen to have Mega Lucario, it can deal with Nidoking really well too!
I beat Giovanni on my first go by using Melmetal to draw out his shields and then switching to a strong Excadrill. Just make sure your Excadrill has Mudslap and Drill Run – it’s really effective against all three of them! Plus, I only ended up using one shield myself.
I’ve had great success with Annihilape using Night Slash. It works really well against Giovanni’s team, especially with that speed! Give it a try if you have one.
Ice-types are crucial for taking down Nidoking! If you have something like Excadrill or strong Ice-type Pokémon, they work wonders. For Dialga, I found that Melmetal can tank its moves pretty well, but you need to act fast with your attacks!
Nice! I have some Ice-types, I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip! I actually have Melmetal, so I’ll definitely try that strategy!
