Defense, though a Ground-type move like Earthquake could easily defeat it due to it's 4× weakness to those attacks. However, beware of Magneton's {{m|Flash Cannon}} if using {{p|Graveler}} or {{p|Golem}}. 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 4× 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 4× 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. | 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.

His Bronzor should be no problem with a Fire-type special move just like in the Canalave Gym. His star Pokémon is a {{p|Toxicroak}}. It takes a 4× weakness to a {{type|Psychic}}. If you do use a Psychic-type make sure it is gifted in speed along with having a good move like {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Alakazam}} since a slower Psychic-type like {{p|Gardevoir}} can't handle Toxicroak's {{m|Faint Attack}}, a {{type|Dark}} move. A {{type|Flying}} type can also handle Toxicroak. | ||
After the battle Saturn will gloat how pointless it is to stand up to Team Galactic and mentions that Commander Mars should have caught the guardian at Lake Verity by now before leaving. It is time to head to Lake Verity, so make sure to have your team ready before flying back to [[Twinleaf Town]] and then heading to Lake Verity. | After the battle Saturn will gloat how pointless it is to stand up to Team Galactic and mentions that Commander Mars should have caught the guardian at Lake Verity by now before leaving.
