How do you beat lance in Pokemon Heart Gold? - Answers

You have to have fairly strong and fast Pokemon to defeat him. What is absolutely crucial is a water Pokemon with an ice type move and an electric Pokemon. His team is comprised of three Dragonites, Charizard, Aerodactyl, and Garydos. Your best bet to defeat the three Dragonites would be to obtain a water Pokemon and teach it the TM blizzard (which can be obtained in the Goldenrod mall). A Pokemon with a rock type move would be good as well, but some of the Dragonites know Aqua Tail (would easily defeat rock and ground types). Besides obtaining a water Pokemon with an ice type move, en electric Pokemon is crucial to have. Because they are generally very fast, they will always strike first. An electric Pokemon can easily defeat the three other Pokemon (Garydos extremely easily, Charizard and Aerodactyl easily). A Jolteon, Ampharos, or Raichu would be a great bet, and they can also paralyze the Dragonites to allow slower rock Pokemon to attack with rock slide, rock throw, etc.
