How to Beat Katy in Scarlet & Violet

Katy’s Scarlet & Violet team is Nymble, Tarountula and her ace Teddiursa, which stays a Normal type until she Terastallizes it into a Bug, and that powers up its Fury Cutter. After the change, a Fletchling or Starly caught in South Province (Area Two) beats all three with Flying.
