Only use Blue trainer move, sync with Sycamore once, third member can Torchic or some defense buffer or another crit buffer like Lyra. Blue syncs as second and clears. Depending on enemy countdown go for 1 Hurricane on each sidemon, then focus on boss, Air Cutter to remove both sidemons later. Until his second sync you abuse Air Slash flinches easily. If you bring Torchic Horn Leech keeps the deer alive for longer with offensive parameters.
He's got many other partners from Sabrina to Lillie if necessary.
