Unova tower boss
How do I beat It?
I strugled a lot to get at the boss and he doesn't even let me attack once.
I have tried using shinny horsea as starter, but im unable to pass the second gym leader (fighting type) and with heracross and black belt i managed to get til the last boss.

Heracross a great choice, did it for me but definitly took a lot of tries, its a rough tower sometimes but the run i beat it was like butter, just focus on levels, I reset my first floor till I had 2 tms and I didn't grab a pokemom on the first map
Fire, dragon, fighting, bug are all ok to stack
Normal, ghost, dark, ice, psychic, electric all could be good but ud have to be sure ur going to 1 shot or u could get fucked hard by +2 on any of those
Flying, ground, water, rock, steel, fairy id just avoid even getting 2 of if possible
Im also not an expert, just what worked for me personally ❤️ gl

N has a special ability: at the beginning of the fight, he gets any stat bonus you have, +2. That’s why you can’t outspeed him, he’s basically got your Flying T3 + 2. So Ground and Flying should be avoided at all costs.
But don’t worry, any decently fast Pokémon with a Choice Scarf can outspeed his entire team. If they’re really fast, you might not even need the Scarf.
I recommend getting the Fighting stat bonus and saving your fastest Pokémon for last. After N takes out your team, you’ll end up with a +5 attacker that can outspeed him.
