Alice Counter Strategy — Pokémon Unbound

🏟️ Arena Field Effect: Tailwind & Strong Winds

Weather & Speed Gimmick

Flying-type Pokémon benefit from permanent Tailwind (double Speed), and super-effective damage against Flying-types is reduced.

💡 Immunity & Counter Tip: Bring bulky Rock or Steel-type Pokémon to weather the storm, set up Stealth Rocks to exploit their frequent switching, and prioritize defense over speed.

🛡️ Recommended Counter Teams & Tactics

Stealth Rock Setup

Easy

Budget Friendly Core: Probopass, Lairon

Alice switches her Flying-types constantly. Rock-type entry hazards deal 25% damage to most of her team each time they enter.

Lead Turn-by-Turn:

T1: Lead with Probopass or Lairon. Use Stealth Rock immediately while surviving Skarmory's lead.
T2+: Use Rock Slide or Power Gem. Since their damage is reduced by the field, focus on surviving and letting hazard damage accumulate.

Bulky Burn & Stall

Medium

Core: Torkoal, Rotom-Wash

Alice's team is mostly physical. Burn them with Will-O-Wisp to cut their Attack stats in half.

Lead Turn-by-Turn:

T1: Use Torkoal to set Sun. Cast Will-O-Wisp to burn Dodrio or Mega Pinsir.
T2+: Switch to Rotom-Wash to absorb Ground/Flying attacks and chip with Discharge.

🎁 Rewards & Gym Lockout Details
