Tips: Battling Trial Captain Mallow

To counter the Trial Captain who specializes in Grass-Types, either a Fire or Flying-Type should fill a role in your party. If you’re not fond of the above mentioned types, Poison-Types such as Muk (Alola) can also occupy a slot as not only do these resist Grass but also Fairy-Types. As a matter of fact, these can even launch powerful damage to both of those opposing types, making them advantageous for this battle.

Although Mallow hails as the Grass-type specialist, there is an exception since she also has a Talonflame in her roster. Therefore, it is recommended to also keep a Pokemon with the Rock-Type move Rock Blast as it can deal 4 times the amount of damage to Mallow’s Talonflame.

Ninetales (Alola) with the hidden ability can summon hail upon a safe switch-in and deal chip damage to Talonflame, removing the effects of its Focus Sash. It is also capable of launching a powerful STAB Blizzard during a hailstorm which can take out most of Mallow’s Grass-Type Pokemon and does a decent amount of damage to Talonflame even though it resists it.
