Mega Barbaracle: Type, weaknesses and resistances

Mega Barbaracle is susceptible to a variety of counters because of its Rock and Fighting type. You have a lot of possibilities to customize your team because it is vulnerable to Fighting, Ground, Steel, Water, Grass, Psychic, and Fairy-type attacks. However, brute force is insufficient due to its resistance to Normal, Poison, Rock, Bug, Fire, and Dark-type attacks. Those move types aren't very good, so don't rely on them.

Gardevoir is one of the finest countermeasures you can use in this battle. Because of its talents, it can do efficient damage while avoiding most of Barbaracle's attacks. Its Rock-type strikes, which offer neutral damage but can still be very powerful if you're not ready, are the sole true threat.

If you don't already have a Gardevoir, you can unlock it with Ralts, which can be found in Vert Sector 4. There, Alpha Ralts are a common spawn, but if you're lucky, you might find one at night. For optimal results, evolve it to Kirlia and then to Gardevoir before starting this mission.

Alternatively, Pokemon like Bayleef can perform well in this battle if you play to their strengths and time your attacks properly.
