UnlikeArlo’s previous party, there is only one combination of Pokemon that he will have in his party. This makes it far easier to plan around his team without worrying about a surprise Blastoise to ruin everything.
The first Pokemon that Arlo will send out is Mawile, a dual steel and fairy-type Pokemon. Mawile is weak to fire-type and ground-type moves. However, players should prioritize havingfire-type Pokemoninstead of ground-types due to the Pokemon that come after Mawile.
Arlo’s second Pokemon is Scizor, a dual bug and steel-type that is only weak to fire-type moves. This is the time for players to bring out a Pokemon with strong fire type moves if they haven’t already.

With these Pokemon in mind, here are the best Pokemon to bring along to fight Arlo:
If players lose to Arlo, there is no real penalty and they will be able to keep fighting him for as long as they have Pokemon remaining. Players are additionally free to use potions and revives on their Pokemon in between different battles, allowing them to have fresh starts when starting a battle with him.
