Jupiter notices that Barry wants to take revenge on his earlier loss in [[Lake Acuity]], and says that she and Mars are fine to face you off, two on two! So you will be in a [[Tag Battle]] again, with Rival Barry as your partner and the two commanders as your opponent. | Jupiter notices that Barry wants to take revenge on his earlier loss in [[Lake Acuity]], and says that she and Mars are fine to face you off, two on two!

Mars and Jupiter always send in {{p|Bronzor}} first. Both of them know {{m|Extrasensory}} to attack, {{m|Confuse Ray}} to inflict confusion and have the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}} to make all {{type|Ground}} moves like {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Mud Bomb}} miss, so {{type|Fire}} moves like {{m|Flamethrower}} are your only | Mars and Jupiter always send in {{p|Bronzor}} first.

Be careful if you are really using Fire-type Pokémon because one of the two Bronzor knows {{m|Rock Slide}}. The other knows {{m|Gyro Ball}} which takes advantage of Bronzor's low speed stat. They can also use {{m|Reflect}} and {{m|Light Screen}} to reduce the damage on their whole team for five turns. | ||
It seems that their two Bronzor focus on annoying you more than attacking you. After they are unable to battle, Mars and Jupiter will send in their remaining Pokémon depending on the situation. This walkthrough will follow the list above. | It seems that their two Bronzor focus on annoying you more than attacking you.

Both of them also have {{p|Golbat}} in their team. Both Golbat know {{m|Air Cutter}}, which has a higher-than-average chance to land a critical hit. One knows {{m|Bite}}, a {{type|Dark}} move that may cause flinching and will do quite a bit of damage to {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, and {{m|Confuse Ray}}, while the other knows {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which may inflict poison, {{m|Mean Look}}, which prevent you from switching out your Pokémon, and {{m|Giga Drain}}, which steals half of your | Both of them also have {{p|Golbat}} in their team.

Next comes their strongest Pokémon— Mars's Level 45 {{p|Purugly}} and Jupiter's Level 46 {{p|Skuntank}}. Each of these two Pokémon have only one weakness— {{t|Fighting}} and Ground moves respectively. Be careful if you are using {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon or other Pokémon that are immune to {{type|Normal}} or {{type|Poison}} (meaning {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon)— Purugly has {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}, while Skuntank has Flamethrower. Purugly also knows {{m|Slash}}, which also has a higher critical-hit ratio, and {{m|Hypnosis}}, which makes your Pokémon fall asleep. Skuntank has {{m|Poison Jab}}, a powerful move that may inflict poison, {{m|Night Slash}} (again, has a higher chance to land a critical hit) and {{m|SmokeScreen}}, which reduces the your Pokémon's Accuracy. | Next comes their strongest Pokémon— Mars's Level 45 {{p|Purugly}} and Jupiter's Level 46 {{p|Skuntank}}.

After being defeated, Jupiter says that you are still no match for Cyrus. Barry says that you and him have "hit the wall", and helps you one last time by fully healing your Pokémon.
