**How to Defeat Yvon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Weaknesses and Counters**
Trainer battles are a core part of the campaign in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and knowing your opponents well will give you a significant advantage. One of the earliest trainers you’ll face is Yvon. With the right preparation, her battle can be a breeze. Here’s what you need to know to defeat her effectively.
### Yvon’s Team
When you battle Yvon, she will have the following three Pokémon on her team:
– **Spritzee** (Level 15, Fairy-type)
*Weak to:* Poison and Steel
*Resistant to:* Ground and Psychic
– **Swirlix** (Level 15, Fairy-type)
*Weak to:* Poison and Steel
*Resistant to:* Ground and Psychic
– **Vivillon** (Level 16, Bug-type)
*Weak to:* Flying, Fire, Rock, Electric, and Ice
*Resistant to:* Dark, Grass, and Psychic
### Tips for Countering Yvon’s Team
While selecting the right type counters is important, ensuring your Pokémon are well-leveled is even more crucial. Having Pokémon at or above the levels of Yvon’s team will make the battle much easier, regardless of type matchups.
If you chose **Chikorita** as your starter, focus on using it against Spritzee and Swirlix, as it might struggle more against Vivillon. For Poison-type counters, you can find Pokémon like **Weedle** in Wild Zone 1 and **Ekans** in Wild Zone 4. With some quick leveling, these Poison-types can be very effective against Yvon’s Fairy Pokémon.
Personally, I was fortunate to have my **Tepig evolved to Pignite**, which handled Vivillon with ease. Additionally, an Alpha **Bellsprout** was very helpful in dealing with Spritzee and Swirlix.
### Summary
– Prioritize leveling your Pokémon adequately for the battle.
– Use Poison and Steel-type moves against Spritzee and Swirlix.
– Use Flying, Fire, Rock, Electric, or Ice-type moves to counter Vivillon.
– Consider catching and leveling Weedle or Ekans if you need strong Poison-type counters.
With these strategies, you should be well-prepared to defeat Yvon and continue your journey in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
