Please do not post answers that include Pokemon unobtainable in the S/V base game, in case people do not have any others and/ or do not have Pokémon HOME.

If this is not allowed and gets closed will someone tell me why on my wall so I can understand better?
@froggy, normally we close with note: (explanation). Be sure to check it. You can also leave comments on the post even after it’s closed, so you can ask follow-up questions or concerns

First, you will need strong Fighting, Fire and Bug/Dark/Ghost Pokémon or moves, as these 3 types together deal supereffective damage to her entire team.
- Arcanine is probably the best 'mon in itself with Close Combat and Flare Blitz (its only good fire move you can get in S/V without the DLC), dealing 4x to Kingambit, her scariest 'mon, and 2x to half the rest, as well as being respectable in a playthrough, getting it after Fire Star Base.
- Meowscarada or Skeledirge both have STAB moves in Night Slash and Shadow Ball to clean up Espathra and Veluza, and the fact that they are starters means you hopefully have them (otherwise Kingambit is a solid option - none of Geeta's can hit it for x2). Meowscarada is better, as it is immune to Lumina Crash, which can snowball quickly, and resists Veluza's Liquidation and Aqua Jet. However, you will want to Tera, Grass is best, to avoid super effective Dazzling Gleam from Espathra. Then, you can outspeed and hit Veluza with T-Grass Flower Trick, a guaranteed OHKO.
- You may also want to bring some tanky Pokémon, as this strategy hinges pretty heavily on your 2 'mons, so be sure to send a tank out and use a few Max Revives (assuming you can use items, otherwise Revival Blessing is your only option) if one of them faints.

Alternately, just be 10 levels higher than her.

Ok thanks! I don’t have meowsarada, but the tank and physical fire/ fighting moves are helpful. I basically soloed her whole team with over-leveled skeliderge, as you mentioned that makes it easy, and as for the glimmora, garchomp took care of that.

I have found the battle much easier because instead of healing using positions I used healing moves such as bitter blade. Alternately use sheer cold or stuff like that
