Tips
- The Mossdeep Gym battle is a Double Battle; bring Pokémon with Dark-, Water-, or Ghost-type attacks and consider using Surf to hit both foes simultaneously.
- Be aware that all four of Tate and Liza's Pokémon have the Levitate ability, making Ground-type attacks like Earthquake ineffective against them.
