How to beat Elite 4 Poppy in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
All Poppy Pokémon have good defense and can hit hard. So your choice of Pokemon against her should be perfect. After each battle, you can switch Pokémon in your party to choose the right ones against it. Here is a list of Poppy’s Pokémon and their weaknesses.
- Copperajah (Lv. 58) is a pure Steel-type Pokémon with a weakness to Fire, Fighting, and Ground-type attacks. He has a high attack stat, so try to kill him as soon as possible.
- Magnezone (Lvl 58) is an Electric/Steel type Pokémon that is weak against fire, combat, and ground attacks. Ground-type attacks deal 4 times more damage, so you can land one hit with Earth Force.
- Bronzong (Lvl 58) – A Steel/Psychic type with a weakness to Fire, Earth, Shadow, and Ghost type attacks.
- Corviknight (Lvl 58) is a Flying/Steel-type Pokémon with a weakness to Fire and Electric-type moves.
- Tinkaton (Lvl 59) is Poppy’s final Fairy/Steel type Pokémon. It will immediately turn into steel. It is weak to Fire and Earth attacks. Though you can use combat type attacks due to Tera’s form.
Each of Poppy’s Pokémon has a weakness against fire-type attacks. So if you have Skeledirge on your team, you can easily defeat her. If you don’t, then Talonflame can replace you. Ground-type attacks also work, but Bronzong can levitate, so they might not work. Also, give your fire-type Pokémon charcoal. This item will boost his fire-type attacks and overwhelm your enemies in a single attack.
