Milotic weaknesses

Milotic is an elegant Water-type Pokemon who resembles a graceful Loch Ness Monster in games like Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. Like all Pokemon, Milotic’s weaknesses and counters are the keys to its defeat.

As a Water-type Pokemon, Milotic can be a difficult opponent to beat in battle, due to its ability to surprise opponents when they’re traveling across open water. However, if the Pokemon Trainer they’re up against is expecting them and knows how to take them down, the fight will go much smoother. Luckily, Milotic has a range of weaknesses that can be exploited.

According to the Pokedex, Milotic evolves from Feebas when it’s Beauty Level reaches a certain point. This means that most Milotic Pokemon have been created deliberately by a savvy trainer, however, they can also be caught in the wild. Either way, they can be a tough opponent, here’s how to defeat one by taking advantage of Milotic’s weaknesses.
