Byron starts by sending out {{p|Magneton}}, which is easy to beat with a simple Flamethrower due to it's weak Sp. Defense, though a Ground-type move like Earthquake could easily defeat it due to it's 4x weakness to those attacks. With {{p|Steelix}} use special moves since it has a high defense stat. Steelix can counter Fire-types with Earthquake unless you have a Fire-type strong enough to defeat it quickly. It also uses {{m|Ice Fang}} which {{p|Torterra}} has a 4x weakness to. Aura Sphere for Togekiss or particularly Lucario can easily floor it. {{p|Bastiodon}}, despite being his strongest Pokémon, can easily be defeated by a powerful Fighting or Ground type attack due to it's type combo having a 4x weakness to those types.

Once you defeat Byron he will give you the {{badge|Mine}} which will allow all traded Pokémon up to Level 70 obey you without question and allows for {{m|Strength}} to be used outside of battle. He'll also give you {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, a Steel-type special attack that occasionally lowers the enemy's Sp. Defense stat.
