Lacey, the saccharine student you once ousted, returns to the Blueberry Elite Four with a Fairy-fueled vengeance. Don’t let her cuddly companions fool you, trainer! This guide will equip you to vanquish her adorable onslaught and claim your rightful victory.
How to Beat Elite Four Lacey Challenge in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet The Indigo Disk DLC
While Lacey may not boast the strongest Fairy team, her Pokémon possess annoyingly diverse coverage that can catch you off guard. Steel and Poison, the typical Fairy counters, won’t guarantee success. You’ll need to adapt your strategy to each member of her team:
- Granbull (Level 78): This fire/flying mutt throws annoying coverage your way. Skip the Poison/Steel trap and unleash the fiery wrath of Charizard or Talonflame, or stick to neutral attacks with overwhelming power.
- Whimsicott (Level 78): Speedy but brittle, this cotton candy cloud begs for a swift poison takedown. Just beware Granbull’s potential Stomping Tantrum intervention.
- Primarina (Level 79): This ocean diva loves powering up with Throat Spray. Don’t give it the chance! Electric, Steel, or Poison attacks should shut down its preening parade before it can unleash its full might.
- Galarian Slowbro (Level 79): Quick Draw RNG can be a pain, but Slowbro’s diverse moveset requires careful planning. Colossal, Probopass, or a strong non-Gengar Ghost-type (hello, Mimikyu!) can wall it effectively. Dark-types? Think again, thanks to Lacey’s other teammates.
- Alcremie (Level 79): This sweet treat relies on Recover and Giga Drain to stay healthy. A strong Poison or Steel-type will disrupt its recovery cycle and send it packing.
- Excadrill (Level 80): Fear not the tiny terror! Its Terastallization into Fairy makes it less dangerous. Corviknight, with its Steel typing, can counter it effectively. Other Steel or Poison options might work, but beware of its teammates’ super-effective attacks.
Rewards
Defeating Lacey rewards you with the Alluring Voice TM, a Fairy-type move with intriguing potential. It boasts perfect accuracy and a chance to confuse the target if they’ve boosted a stat that turn. While not as widely applicable as Dazzling Gleam, its secondary effect and ability to bypass Substitutes make it a valuable tool for your Fairy-type arsenal.
Armed with knowledge of Lacey’s team and effective counter strategies, you are now prepared to triumph over the cute yet formidable challenge presented by the Elite Four in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk. Just remember, even the cutest trainers can hide the fiercest competitive spirit. Don’t underestimate the power of a well-trained (and possibly terrifyingly adorable) Fairy-type team!
