To defeat Furiko, you first go up against her Fairy-type Pokemon, namely two level 51 Clafairies and one level 52 Clefable. We recommend using their direct weakness, like Poison or a Steel-type Pokemon. This will make this fight fairly easy to pull off. Finally, you can also make use of Pokemon that use Poison-type moves, which also work well for this side mission.

Furiko’s Pokemon will use Metronome, which will allow them to use any random move. Be wary of this attack, as it can deal really high damage or disrupt your Pokemon’s moves in multiple ways. Lastly, try to finish off Furiko’s Pokemon before they get a chance to use this move.
