Beating the champion, Cynthia hints and tips for Pokemon Diamond

Beating the champion, Cynthia

Okay, you've beaten the Elite four, but the champion is troublesome. Well, I'm here to help!

The team I used was Graveler, Torterra, Staraptor, Kadabra, Palkia, and Raichu.

She will only use ONE Full Restore per Pokemon!

For each of the Champion's Pokemon, I had a different startegy.

Spiritomb: I used Graveler to soak up some hits hile I performed my one-two-three hit: Earthquake, Rock Slide, Rock Slide. I made sure Spiritomb's HP stayed yellow so the Champion would not heal it.

Milotic: One Thunder from Raichu did the trick. DO NOT SE A GRASS TYPE, Milotic knows Ice Beam to tear them apart.

Garchomp: I allowed it to Giga Rush Raichu, thus Paralyzing Garchomp. Then, I brought out Palkia and used Spacial Rend ahead of it due to it's Paralyzed speed reduction

Lucario: Mainly, I blasted the hp out of it with Kadabra. A Psychic or two from a good Psychic type will put Lucarion down.

Gastrodon: Water and Ground type, huh? Torterra's Razor Leaf did the trick in one shot

Roserade: I took advantage of it's Poison type and used Kadabra. (I didn't use Staraptor at all, but if I wanted to, Flying would have worked just as well on it's Grass type half.).

Well, you probably have trained a different team than me, but mainly, these are the ones you want. Only Electric can easily type-defeat Milotic, same with Psychic on Lucario. Spiritomb has no weakness, so you need to play smart. Take advantage of her team's glaring weakness: Most of them have two types which means they have more weaknesses. Well, I hope I helped and, good luck!
