Lenora's Team (Black and White):
* Watchog: Normal-type with the ability Keen Eye.
* Herdier: Normal-type with the ability Intimidate.
* Mightyena: Dark-type with the ability Intimidate.
Strategies:
1. Fighting-type Pokemon: Fighting-types are super effective against Normal-types, making them the ideal counter to Lenora's team. Pokemon like Lucario, Mienshao, or Hitmontop would be very strong here.
2. Fighting/Flying-type Pokemon: If you're worried about Mightyena's Dark-type attacks, a Fighting/Flying-type like Staraptor can be an excellent choice.
3. Ghost-type Pokemon: Ghost-type Pokemon are immune to Normal-type attacks and can hit Mightyena hard. Gengar, Gastly, or Misdreavus could work well here.
4. Special Attacks: While Lenora's team is primarily physical attackers, consider using special attackers like Chandelure, Hydreigon, or Galvantula to exploit their weakness.
Tips:
* Utilize the environment: Lenora's gym is filled with obstacles that can give you an advantage. For example, you can use them to maneuver around her Pokemon and get a better position for your attacks.
* Be careful of Intimidate: Herdier and Mightyena have Intimidate, which lowers your Pokemon's Attack stat. Use a Pokemon with a high Special Attack or consider using a move like Swords Dance to counter this.
* Prepare for Mightyena's Dark-type moves: If you choose a Fighting-type, be prepared for Mightyena's Dark-type attacks. You may want to bring a Pokemon with a Flying-type move or a Ghost-type Pokemon to counter this.
Recommended Pokemon:
* Lucario (Fighting/Steel): Powerful Fighting-type attacks and can learn moves like Aura Sphere.
* Staraptor (Normal/Flying): Great speed and strong Flying-type attacks.
* Mienshao (Fighting): Fast and can learn powerful Fighting-type moves like High Jump Kick.
* Gengar (Ghost/Poison): Immune to Normal-type attacks and can learn powerful Ghost-type moves like Shadow Ball.
