How to beat the silver team

Alakazam is fast and hits hard, and its three elemental punches cover most types. In Emerald those punches are special moves, so its Modest nature makes them strong. It’s very frail physically: a strong physical hit, or any super-effective Bug, Ghost or Dark move, usually takes it out in one go. BrightPowder makes it harder to hit, so use accurate moves.

Entei wants to use Calm Mind and then Fire Blast. Water, Rock and Ground types resist or punish it, and Roar means it can throw out your own setup sweeper. Its Lum Berry cures the first status condition you give it.

Snorlax is the dangerous one. If it gets a Belly Drum off, its Attack is maxed and Body Slam can sweep. Quick Claw sometimes lets it move first even against faster Pokémon. Hit it with a strong Fighting move straight away, and have a plan for Yawn: a Lum Berry, or switching out before you fall asleep. Ghost types are immune to Body Slam, but Shadow Ball covers them.

How to beat the gold team

Raikou’s only attacking move is Thunderbolt. A Ground-type Pokémon is completely immune to it, so Raikou can only Calm Mind, Reflect and Rest against one. Bring a strong Ground type such as Swampert, Flygon or Claydol, and it can’t touch you. Just don’t let it stack Calm Minds while you switch around.

Latios has Levitate, so Ground moves miss it, and it recovers with Recover while boosting with Calm Mind. Hit it hard and early with Ice, Dragon or Dark moves, ideally on a special attacker that can survive a boosted Psychic. As with Alakazam, BrightPowder punishes inaccurate moves.

Snorlax this time uses Curse and Rest, raising its Attack and Defense and then sleeping off damage. Break it before the boosts stack up: Fighting moves, critical hits or a phazing move (Roar or Whirlwind) to reset its boosts. With Immunity it can’t be poisoned, so don’t rely on Toxic.

Team tips for both battles

• Have a Fighting move. Snorlax is on both teams.
• Use accurate moves. Two of the six Pokémon hold BrightPowder.
• Carry a status answer. Yawn and Disable can swing a battle; a Lum Berry or Chesto Berry helps.
• A strong Ground type handles Entei and walls gold Raikou.
