You'll need to be a bit diverse in your type matching with both {{t|Grass}} and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon as Volkner's Pokémon are equipped with moves to counter their weaknesses. Having Ground-type Pokémon like {{p|Hippowdon}}, {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Mamoswine}} or {{p|Steelix}} will help. Volkner's {{p|Jolteon}} is equipped with {{m|Iron Tail}} to counter Mamoswine or ground-types with {{type|Rock}} characteristics. Besides the rock-types with their high defenses, Quagsire or Steelix could also bring it down. {{p|Raichu}} and {{p|Luxray}} are equipped to deal with their weakpoints but Quagsire should have no problems. Unless if you can take it out quickly, do not use {{p|Gliscor}} or other Pokémon that suffer a duel type weakness to {{type|Ice}}s when facing Luxray. Volkner's star Pokémon {{p|Electvire}} has {{m|Fire Punch}} to counter Steelix or Grass Pokémon, but those Ground-types with Rock-type characteristics can easily beat it such as with {{p|Rhydon}}.

Once you beat Volkner he is so happy for this exciting battle, he give you the Beacon Badge which allow you to use Waterfall outside of battle and since you now have all eight badges then any Pokémon outside of battle will obey you. He'll also give you {{TM|57|Charge Beam}} a damaging electric type move that has a 70% chance of raising the users Sp. Attack by one level. Now head to Jasmine again and {{ga|Barry}} will appear and acknowledge his new purpose for getting stronger, pointing out he'll challenge you later when he does get stronger. Jasmine who is touched by this conversation will give you {{HM|07|Waterfall}}. While you can head north to the Pokémon League, let's make a quick pitstop to Mt. Coronet to pick up some important items.
