Elite Four Grimsley (Pokémon League, Dark-type): Thunder and Thunderbolt are going to do a lot of damage to Scrafty and Bisharp, while Liepard is going to go down with one Signal Beam, but remember that the cat knows Fake Out, so use that to buff your Special Attack or heal.Don't waste your time (and your Galvantula's safety) with Chandelure and Golurk, they destroy Galvantula. Elite Four Shauntal (Pokémon League, Ghost-type): You can use Thunder and Thunderbolt for Cofagrigus to 2HKO it at best, but the best chance for the spider is Shauntal's Jellicent, one decent Electric-type move is going to be enough to OHKO it.Again, be careful about whether you actually outspeed the Simisear. Cheren (Route 10): Same as before, Electric moves for Unfezant, Samurott and Simipour, Signal Beam for Serperior, Simisage and Liepard and Volt Switch to escape from Simisear and Emboar.Even then, avoid using Galvantula in this fight, unless you have no other options.
Electro ball or electroweb free#
Galvantula should not enter this fight unless you have a free switch in and you've already weakened the Pokémon. Gym #8 - Drayden/Iris (Opelucid City, Dragon-type): All of their Pokémon resist Galvantula's best moves and aren't OHKOed by Signal Beam, not to mention that they have high Attack and dangerous moves that are going to kill your spider in one or two hits.Like with Cheren, Set Mode players can use Volt Switch to change Pokémon while battling Simisear and Emboar. Samurott and Simipour are OHKOed with Thunderbolt or Thunder, while Serperior, Simisage and Musharna are OHKOed and 2HKOed with Signal Beam. Bianca (Route 8): Stoutland has bulk and strength, so use Volt Switch to escape from it.Beartic can be a problem as it has base 110 Attack and enough bulk to survive a Thunder, so use Volt Switch to escape or don't let Galvantula enter that fight. Vanillish is a joke and Galvantula is going to destroy it with Thunder before it can do anything, Volt Switch for Cryogonal if you are playing Set as it has a really high Special Defense to withstand most of your attacks (change when the game would normally let you in Switch mode). Gym #7 - Brycen (Icirrus City, Ice-type): If you have a Compoundeyes Galvantula, buy the Thunder TM and teach it to the spider.Be careful about Speed-lowering natures and bad Speed EVs and IVs, because Simisear's speed is quite close to Galvantula's. Don't try battling Simisear and Pignite as they have STAB Fire moves to OHKO your Galvantula, although Set mode players can use Volt Switch on Pignite and Simisear to change Pokémon while dealing damage. Cheren (Route 7): Volt Switch/Electro Ball for Unfezant, Dewott and Simipour, Signal Beam for Simisage, Liepard and Servine.

A Joltik probably could take Swanna with Volt Switch, but the chance of being OHKOed due to the spider's fragility are high. Step two, OHKO everything in her team with Electro Ball. Step one, evolve your Joltik to Galvantula.
