Leader Byron uses three Pokémon. Due to the having ability {{a|Levitate}} and being a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, {{p|Bronzor}} is not affected by Ground-type moves and only takes normal damage from Fighting-type moves, so Fire-type moves are your only choice. {{p|Steelix}} has {{m|Ice Fang}}, so avoid using Ground-type Pokémon on it. Its {{m|DragonBreath}} may surprise you and paralyze your Pokémon. Byron's strongest Pokémon is {{p|Bastiodon}}. It is very good defensively, but its Rock/Steel typing gives it two major weaknesses: 4× damage from both Fighting-type and Ground-type moves. Avoid using Fire-type Pokémon against Bastiodon. Hit Bastiodon hard with Fighting-type or Ground-type moves fast before it uses {{m|Iron Defense}} to boost its Defense stat.
