Using Dark-types can really help as KyokaSuigetsu said. If you use anyone of Terrakion, Cobalion or Virizion, then their ability Justified proves helpful. Cobalion resists all of his Stab moves, while Virizion has high Sp. Def.If you don’t run these legends, then Lucario can prove helpful. I don’t think it is necessary to make Lucario relearn Foresight, because you will be damaging it more than it could deal to you. If you run physical moves on Lucario, of course non-fighting, then using Swords Dance to boost your own Attack really helps. That Spiritomb’s most annoying move Will-o-Wisp burns you, cutting your own Attack by half.So any Pokemon with Taunt proves really helpful as not only it prevents it from using Will-O-Wisp, it can’t run Double Team anymore which is really irritating.You may suffer problems if you are underleveled. Can you tell the Pokemon you are using and their level?
A dark type Pokemon will be one of the best counter to it, and the one I’ll reccomand wasHoundoomThis was the set that Cynthia use on her Spiritomb:Spiritomb (Lv 78) @No ItemAbility: PressureIVs: 0 Atk- Shadow Ball- Double Team- Dark Pulse- Will-O-WispLikely, houndoom was immune to Will-o-Wisp and resist the two STAB move from Spiritomb. And you could encounter at Route 9 in black which was pretty early.Instead of Houndoom, Mandibuzz was one of it’s counter, could use a tuant and makes it to be not access to use will-o-wisp, double team and resist it’s two stab move.So simply, all dark type or could learn taunt Pokemon could get rid of Spiritomb easily.
However, instead of using a Dark type Pokemon, another good way to beat Cynthia’s Spiritomb was that train your Pokemon level higher, seems Cynthia’s Pokemon was like level 75-77, and you could use a Pokemon like level 80 or above to beat her Pokemon.
Guide for beating her other Pokemon:-Freeze Dry could get rid of her Milotic, Garchomp and Bravery at the same time-Lucario was easy to defeat, use Pokemon that could learn moves that was super effective to it.-Electross has a painful speed, use a Pokemon that could learn a lot of strong STAB move to defeat it
Hope it helps!
