Mega Excadrill and Mega Lucario are two of the most potent choices for this battle against Jacinthe in Pokemon Legends Z-A. Since you will need to progress through the whole tournament, you can use higher-level Pokemon to defeat the previous Rank bosses. The fights will also be a bit easier as the challengers (except the final round) will be ones that you have already won against.

When facing Jacinthe, you will need to take advantage of the weaknesses of the opponent Pokemon. Mega Excadrill can deal both Steel and Ground-type Stab attacks. Take advantage of abilities like Iron Head and Earthquake to deal devastating damage. In the same way, Mega Lucario’s moves, Earthquake and Iron Tail, can come in clutch to finish the initial battles quickly and reach Mega Clefable.

Mega Clefable's Mystical Fire deals area-based damage, so you can choose to tank it or even run back to dodge it as much as possible. Take advantage of the cast animations of the Pokemon to spam Steel and Rock-type abilities to chip away at its HP bar. Moreover, you can train both your Pokemon to have the Protect move, which increases your ability to defend and strike back with Stab attacks.

Considering Mega Clefable's Level 59, it is best to level up your choice of Pokemon to at least Level 60 or more. A higher-level Pokemon can help you secure an advantage in the fight and secure the victory more easily.
