>>34786716You have more time to prepare for Norman and a much larger selection of Pokémon at that point. Whitney's gym is early enough that there are only a handful of Pokémon that work effectively against Miltank (and they need to be male/genderless to do so).
>Single stage Ace with a decent BST and high Def/speed>Lum berry to counter status>Stab flinchhax>Female attract when 87.5% of starters are male>Milk Drink>Rollout for fire starter + flying and bug types (common early route Mons)It's not like Whitney is the hardest fight in the series; she's just designed to fuck up teams made of early route Mons that revolve around a male starter ace.
Eitherway, Whitney's Miltank > Ultra Necrozma. She didn't need +2 to all stats to fuck with players.
