While Sierra’s second and third choices could be one of many, she always uses the same Pokemon first in battle. The Dark/Water-type, Carvanha, makes for a challenging opponent, but knowing the right way to counter it will ensure a player’s victory.

The Generation III Pokemon is vulnerable against the use of Fairy, Bug, Electric, Grass, and Fighting-type moves.

The following are the best Pocket Monsters to use to counter Carvanha:

Machamp - using Karate Chop and Dynamic Punch

Breloom - using Counter and Seed Bomb

Electivire - using Thunder Shock and Wild Charge

Once a player has defeated Sierra’s Carvanha, they’ll need to be ready to go against her Hippowdon, Porygon-Z, or Mismagius.

If she chooses Hippowdon, the best Pokemon to counter it are:
