How to defeat Grisham in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Mega Camerupt and Mega Gardevoir are two of the most fatal counters against Trainer Grisham’s Pokemon roster. Camerupt’s ability to make use of Earth Power in Stabs, combined with Earthquake, can easily take down the enemy Pyroar and Tyranitar. These moves are also effective against Mega Charizard X. Moreover, Mega Camerupt is tanky and can take a few punches during the battle.

Mega Gardevoir has a high-damage output with the Moonblast ability. You can also use the Draining Kiss move to recover during the fight and combine it with a quick Reflect cast to increase defenses for the Pokemon. That said, learn Protect on both these choices to make the most out of the Stab moves and stack damage on your foes.

Once Mega Charizard X enters the fight, you will need to dodge some of the fast attacks and may even need to recall Pokemon to save their HP from going down. Make sure to strafe either way when Charizard rushes and takes flight to launch heavy attacks. Switch out Pokemon during the battle to ensure that you can take advantage of Mega Charizard X’s Ground and Rock weaknesses with Camerupt.

It is best to train your team and level up the Pokemon to at least Level 63 or higher to increase your chances of winning against Charizard. A higher-level Pokemon can make the battle easier.
