Reward: TM025 Facade

Order the secret dish at Medali’s Treasure Eatery: grilled rice balls, medium serving, extra crispy, with lemon. Larry’s Staraptor becomes Normal type.

Fighting coverage exploits the Normal team, but Staraptor can retaliate with Aerial Ace. Avoid giving the ace a status condition that strengthens Facade, and carry an answer to Yawn or Glare.

Flying

Larry returns as the third Elite Four opponent with a Flying team. This is separate from his Normal Gym battle; Flamigo Terastallizes into Flying.

Ice coverage is strong against Tropius and Altaria, and Electric helps against Staraptor and Flamigo. Pom-pom Oricorio takes neutral Electric damage; Flamigo’s Close Combat threatens Rock and Ice counters.
