  5. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Raboot to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 1,351 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
