How to Beat Tulip in Scarlet & Violet

Tulip sends out Farigiraf first in Scarlet & Violet; it’s part Normal, so Ghost moves can’t touch it. Her ace Florges turns Psychic when she Terastallizes it, and from then on a Sableye from South Province (Area Six) answers all four with Dark and Ghost moves.
