I can't beat Skyla's Swanna! Help!!

I am currently in Mistralton city and I have challenged, battled, and have been defeated by Skyla multiple times.. I have had no problem with defeating Swoobat and Skarmory, but once it came to Swanna, I never had the chance to battle much as she would take each of my Pokemon out in one move. Any fellow trainers who could help???

Electric type moves do are super super effective against swanna, so I recommend using a Jolteon, since it can out-speed Swanna and take her out with one hit. I did this myself when playing black 2.

sourcetldr Magnezone is the best electric Pokemon in the game because it’s also steel type and has superior special attack.

Your best option is to catch aZebstrikawhich is available in the adjacent Route 7 and train it a bit using Audino in the shaking spots. Zebstrika’s natural high speed and typing make it super easy to defeat Skyla.

It’s available at levels 34-36, and it learns the moveDischargeat 36, making it super strong against Skyla. Levelling it up a little bit can ensure OHKOing the troublesome Swanna.

The reason I suggested this over every other Pokemon is that it’s catchable in game and literally on the route right best to Mistralton. And it’s fast enough to get the job done. Good luck!
