Corbeau’s Team of Pokemon
Corbeau uses the following Pokemon in battle. They’re all around Level 50 or so, so it is highly advised that you are at least at Level 52 if you wish for a fair fight.

|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Scolipede | Bug/Poison | 52 | Gunk Shot, X-Scissor, Earthquake, Protect |
| Roserade | Grass/Poison | 51 | Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball, Synthesis |

Counters To Corbeau’s Team
As you can see at a glance when looking at Corbeau’s team, he has quite a diverse selection of Pokemon. They all have different weaknesses, so our roster of Pokemon has to be just as diverse if we want to wrap the fight up quickly.
We suggest bringing in the likes of Excadrill, Starmie, and Ampharos for this fight. Excadrill will help you exploit Arbok’s Ground-type weakness, while Starmie will help target Roserade and Mega Scolipede’s weakness to Psychic. Ampharos is to exclusively exploit Gyarados’s weakness to Electric.
