Tips & Strategies for Defeating Phoebe

Challenging Phoebe

Here are some tips and strategies to help you win this fight:

Bring Non-Ghost Type Pokémon with Ghost-type Moves. Ghost is weak to itself, which makes using Ghost-types against Phoebe both advantageous and risky. Instead, utilize Pokémon of other types that can learn Ghost-type moves like Shadow Ball or Shadow Claw.
Use Dark-type Pokémon. Taking advantage of Dark-type Pokémon can make your fight significantly easier, as they resist Phoebe’s Ghost-type moves. Plus, they can utilize STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) moves such as Crunch or Dark Pulse for more damage.
Bring a Pokémon with a Fairy-type Move. Sableye isn’t a pure Ghost-type and has no weakness except Fairy. Defeating it becomes easier if you use a move like Dazzling Gleam.
Let Your Pokémon Hold Lum Berries. Phoebe’s Pokémon have moves that inflict status conditions like Toxic and Will-O-Wisp. Her ace, Dusknoir, is particularly dangerous; as it can use the move Hex, which doubles its damage against foes with status conditions. Lum Berries can automatically cure these if your Pokémon holds it.
Beware of Pressure and Spite. Pressure and Spite can quickly drain your Pokémon’s PP. If you’re relying on a single super effective move, it might run out of PP. Remember to restore PP with Ether or Elixir to prevent problems in the upcoming battles.
