**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 as much as you can about each opponent is key to success. One of the early trainers you’ll face is Yvon. With the right preparation, this battle can be a breeze.
### Yvon’s Pokémon Team
Yvon’s team consists of the following three Pokémon:
– **Spritzee** (Level 15, Fairy-type): Weak to Poison and Steel; strong against Ground and Psychic.
– **Swirlix** (Level 15, Fairy-type): Weak to Poison and Steel; strong against Ground and Psychic.
– **Vivillon** (Level 16, Bug-type): Weak to Flying, Fire, Rock, Electric, and Ice; strong against Dark, Grass, and Psychic types.
### Tips for Countering Yvon’s Team
While type matchups are important, the most critical factor in this fight is your Pokémon’s level. If your Pokémon are well-leveled, the battle should be relatively easy regardless of type advantages.
For players who chose Chikorita as their starter, it’s advisable to use it against Spritzee and Swirlix, but avoid using it against Vivillon.
If you need Poison-type Pokémon to exploit the Fairy-types’ weaknesses, you can find:
– **Weedle** in Wild Zone 1
– **Ekans** in Wild Zone 4
With some quick leveling, these Poison-types can be brought up to speed for the fight.
Personally, I had the advantage of an evolved Tepig—Pignite—to handle Vivillon effectively, along with an Alpha Bellsprout to counter the first two Pokémon on Yvon’s team.
### Summary
– Focus on leveling your Pokémon adequately.
– Use Poison and Steel moves against Spritzee and Swirlix.
– Use Flying, Fire, Rock, Electric, or Ice moves against Vivillon.
– Consider catching Weedle or Ekans for Poison-type coverage.
– An evolved Tepig (Pignite) and Alpha Bellsprout can make this battle much easier.
Prepare accordingly, and Yvon will be no match for your team!
