How to Beat Larry in Scarlet & Violet

A Cetitan from North Province (Area One) hits all five on Larry’s Elite Four team in Scarlet & Violet, since the Normal-type gym leader from Medali now brings five fliers. Mind Close Combat: Staraptor and his ace Flamigo both carry it, and it hits Ice types for 2×.
