How to Beat Ryme Tips

Below are some pointers that will help you easily deal with Ryme’s lineup of Ghost Pokémon:

• Avoid using attacks that can hit your allies such as earthquake
• Dark-type moves will be your go-to option for damage.
• Dark Pokémon also resist Ghost-type moves, so make sure to use any you have.
• Normal-type Pokémon are not affected by Ghost-type moves and can be equipped with Dark/Ghost TMs.
• Ryme will Terastalize Toxricity into a Ghost-type, where all its Electric and Poison moves will hit much harder.
