Cynthia battle for Mega Garchomp stone

[Hewie704]

I cannot for the life of me beat the last Cynthia battle for the mega stone for Garchomp. Does anyone have any suggestions for mons or teams I can look into for beating her? I have tried multiple different combinations of fully leveled and EV trained Mons but still lose at the end. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hey @Hewie704,

 

That Cynthia fight is definitely one of the tougher Mega Stone battles.

 

A few things that may help:

 

• Bring answers specifically for Togekiss and Milotic. Those two often give players trouble before Mega Garchomp even comes out.
• A strong Steel-type such as Scizor or Metagross can help against Togekiss and Roserade.
• Bulky Ice coverage can be very valuable against Mega Garchomp. Pokemon such as Mamoswine, Weavile, or even a bulky Water-type carrying Ice Beam may make the final matchup easier.
• Entry hazards such as Stealth Rock can help wear down Cynthia's team over the course of the battle.
• Setup sweepers can also be effective if you're able to find an opportunity to safely boost.

 

Some players have found success with teams built around Pokémon such as Garchomp, Scizor, Rotom-Wash, Mamoswine, and Volcarona.

Could you share the team you've been using and let us know which Pokémon are giving you the most trouble? That may help other players provide more specific suggestions based on what you've already tried.
