For Naveen, his lineup has a higher level. He will also use a Mega Evolution in this battle, unlike Lida.

SableyeDark/Ghost48Fairy
KrookodileGround/Dark49Water, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Bug, Fairy
Mega ScraftyDark/Fighting50Flying, Fighting, Fairy (4x)

Most of the Pokemon in his team are Dark-type except Ariados, who is a Bug/Poison. A good Fairy-type will be a massive help in this fight, especially against Mega Scrafty, who is 4x weak to this type of move.  

After winning both Lida and Naveen battles, the mission concludes. You will then proceed to the next mission, which is An Invitation from the SBC in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
