Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: How to beat Nemona Special Coach battle
Yes, there are as many Nemona battles as stars in the sky, but at least this one is “special.” Get it? No? I see myself out. Here is how to beat the Nemona Special Coach battle in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
To face Nemona in a Special Coach battle, you will first have to complete the base game’s story as well as both The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk story. Not only that, but you need to beat the Academy Ace Tournament at least once. Once you do that, you will unlock the epilogue, which you need to complete as well. After all of that, and hopefully, before hell freezes over, you will be able to initiate this battle by visiting the Loyalty Plaza. Be sure to level up your Pokémon beyond level 90 because her Pokémon will cap at level 86.
Nemona Special Coach battle Pokémon (If you chose Sprigatito)
| Nemona Pokémon | Type | Level | Ability | Moveset | Weakness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lycanrok (Midday) | Rock | 86 | Sand Rush | Accelerock Play Rough Stealth Rock Drill Run | Water (x2) Grass (x2) Fighting (x2) Ground (x2) Steel (x2) |
| Kommo-o | Dragon/Fighting | 86 | Soundproof | Clangorous Soul Drain Punch Earthquake Thunder Punch | Fairy (x4) Ice (x2) Flying (x2) Psychic (x2) Dragon (x2) |
This is the first variation of Pokémon that Nemona will summon if you pick Sprigatito at the beginning of the game. One of the Pokémon that will serve you well is Gliscor, which is a Ground/Flying-type, meaning that he is significantly strong against every single one of Nemona’s Pokémon. You can also pick other Flying (Kommo-o, Decidueye, Ribombee, Quaquaval) and Ground-types (Lycanrok, Pawmot) of your choice to tackle Nemona’s Pokémon.
Once you defeat Nemona – whichever combination of Pokémon you face – you will receive a Focus Sash and she will be willing to trade any of your Pokémon for her Tauros. Due to the level of her Pokémon, she will probably be the last Special Coach you face, so be prepared!
