How to Beat Larry in Scarlet & Violet

All three of Larry’s Pokémon in Scarlet & Violet are Normal types once he Terastallizes his ace Staraptor. His lead Komala has Comatose, so it’s always asleep and can’t be burned or poisoned. Once Staraptor becomes pure Normal, Makuhita from South Province (Area Three) hits each one.
