A good Ground-type move like {{m|Earthquake}} will finish off his {{p|Raichu}}. Don't worry about its attacks because it doesn't have {{m|Thunderbolt}} or its evolutionary line's signature move, {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Be wary if your Ground-type Pokémon is partly Rock-type, because Raichu knows {{m|Brick Break}}). | A good Ground-type move like {{m|Earthquake}} will finish off his {{p|Raichu}}.

{{p|Ambipom}} (a very strange choice for Volkner, and the evolution of {{p|Aipom}}) is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, which means that only Fighting-type moves can deal super-effective damage. Two of its moves are {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Nasty Plot}}, which boost Speed and Sp. Atk respectively. Its only offensive move, {{m|Shock Wave}}, may look weak, but being a variation of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Swift}}, it never misses.

Moreover, Ambipom's [[Ability]] {{a|Technician}} will boost the power of this move because its base power is only 60! | ||
Volkner's {{p|Octillery}} (an extremely strange choice for him, and the evolution of {{p|Remoraid}}) tends to surprise people that don't know Volkner's team before they challenge him, as it is a {{type|Water}}, and is therefore weak to your own Electric-type attacks. Strong Grass-type moves may also work against it, but be careful of {{m|Aurora Beam}} if you're using a Grass-type Pokémon. | Volkner's {{p|Octillery}} (an extremely strange choice for him, and the evolution of {{p|Remoraid}}) tends to surprise people that don't know Volkner's team before they challenge him, as it is a {{type|Water}}, and is therefore weak to your own Electric-type attacks.

There comes his strongest Pokémon— {{p|Luxray}}, the evolution of {{p|Luxio}}, as well as the final form of {{p|Shinx}}, at Level 49. Its {{m|Thunder Fang}} can inflict paralysis or make your Pokémon flinch while dealing damage. The {{type|Dark}} move {{m|Crunch}} may reduce your Pokémon's Defense stat. With Luxray's high Attack, these two moves can be threatening. Its lower Sp. Atk makes Charge Beam deal less damage, but you still need to watch out. Be careful if you're sending in a male Pokémon— its Ability | There comes his strongest Pokémon— {{p|Luxray}}, the evolution of {{p|Luxio}}, as well as the final form of {{p|Shinx}}, at Level 49.

After you defeat Volkner, he'll give you the Beacon Badge and {{TM|57|Charge Beam}}. You can also now use {{m|Waterfall}} on the field. You can finally challenge the Pokémon League, but you still don't have {{HM|07|Waterfall}}! Now what? | After you defeat Volkner, he'll give you the Beacon Badge and {{TM|57|Charge Beam}}.
