Wake leads the fight with {{p|Gyarados}}, who has {{a|Intimidate}}, so lead with [[Special Attack|Special]]-based attackers. It knows Wake's signature move, {{m|Brine}}. Brine does more damage if its target has less than half of its HP left, so be wary and keep your Pokémon healthy. {{m|Waterfall}} will do the most damage and may cause your Pokémon to {{DL|Status condition|Flinch}}. However, one good {{type|Electric}} attack, such as {{m|Spark}} or {{m|Thunder}}, will take it out. Next up is Wake's {{p|Quagsire}}, whose Ground type makes it immune to Electric-type moves. Grass-type attacks are this Pokémon's nightmare, particularly Special attacks due to its weak {{stat|Special Defense}}. It has {{m|Rock Tomb}} which can slow you down, but it doesn't know Brine. {{m|Yawn}} can be annoying, because a Pokémon hit by it will fall asleep on the next turn unless you switch it out. [[Chesto Berry|Chesto Berries]] as held items can be useful in this situation. Last up is his star Pokémon, {{p|Floatzel}}. Floatzel is very fast, and can hit pretty hard, but its defenses are quite low. It has {{m|Ice Fang}} to counter Grass-types, as well as {{m|Aqua Jet}}, a Water-type version of {{m|Quick Attack}}. It too is packing Brine, so stay healthy during the fight. A Pokémon with a good Electric move will do well here.
