Best counters to defeat Nemona

A great team to take on Nemona is Koraidon, Dragapult, Tinkaton, Baxcalibur, Corviknight, and Hydrapple.

This team provides coverage for all of Nemona's potential Pokemon, regardless of which starter you chose, although you can switch some out if you want to make it more catered to the lineup you'll be facing. I chose Quaxly as my starter, so I'll walk you through my battle below.

I used Koraidon with the move Collision Course to take care of Lycanroc and the move Dragon Claw to deal with Goodra and Kommo-o. Baxcalibur is a great backup option if you need extra help with Goodra and Kommo-o as they're both vulnerable to Ice-type attacks.

I also used Dragapult to defeat Nemona's Dusknoir and Skeledirge. With its Ghost Tera Type, Skeledirge's only weaknesses in this battle are Dark and Ghost-type attacks, which Dragapult has covered with the moves Bite and Phantom Force.

Finally, Tinkaton is a good all-rounder to have in this battle, as it's capable of taking out four of Nemona's team members. Goodra, Pawmot, and Kommo-o can be defeated with the Fairy-type move Rough Play, while Lycanroc can be wiped out with the Steel-type move Gigaton Hammer.

This last move is so powerful it will come in useful even when it's not got a type advantage over your opponent, so it can be a good last resort if you find yourself out of other options towards the end of this battle.

If you chose Fuecoco as your starter, Hydrapple can use Grass-type moves to deal with Milotic while Tinkaton or Koraidon can take out Meowscarada. If you chose Sprigatito as your starter, Corviknight can help you defeat Ribombee and Quaquaval with Flying-type attacks.

All of Nemona's Pokemon will be around Level 86, so it's important to come prepared with a strong team.
