Yvon will bring her Level 15 and 16 critters to the battle, so you are advised to use your Level 17 Pokemon. If your critters have a higher level than Yvon’s Pocket Monsters, the whole fight will become easier.

Given Yvon’s team’s weaknesses, you can use a combination of Binacle and two of Beedrill, Ekans, Honedge, or Bellsprout.

Yvon uses Spritzee and Swirlix, both of which are Fairy-type Pokemon and are weak towards Poison- and Steel-type critters. You can use Beedrill, Ekans, Honedge, or Bellsprout to deal with them. You can obtain Beedrill in Pokemon Legends Z-A by evolving it from Kakuna after the latter reaches Level 10. Beedrill’s Poison Sting attack is heavily effective against Spritzee and Swirlix.

Yvon will start the battle with her Spritzee, which you can counter using a Beedrill. If you do not have this critter, you can try to find Ekans or Honedge, which can be caught in Wild Zone 4. You can also try to obtain Bellsprout, which is found in Wild Zone 5.

After you defeat her Spritzee, Yvon will unleash her Swirlix. Since both critters have the same weaknesses, you can use any of the Pokemon mentioned above to deal with the Pocket Monster.

Yvon’s last Pokemon, Vivillon, is weak towards various early-game Pokemon such as Pichu, Tepig, and Binacle.

However, you are advised to use Binacle since Vivillon takes four times more damage from its Rock-type abilities. You can find Binacle inside Wild Zones 2 and 6. Both areas can be unlocked before you complete the Main Mission 6.

Tepig is a starter Pokemon, and if you have not selected it, you might not get it till you unlock Wild Zone 20. Meanwhile, Pichu can be found in Wild Zone 1, and its evolved form, Pikachu, can be found in Wild Zone 3.
