Promotion match notes
Important: the rank shown is the rank you hold when you face each battle, not the rank you promote to. Also, some promotion trainers only appear after certain story steps or extra matches, so if a trainer isn’t available right away, progress the story or check for additional fights.
Use the listed weaknesses to plan type counters and moves. In short, bring the right coverage, and these promotion matches are straightforward to handle.
Spoiler note: there are slight story and character spoilers in these listings because they name trainers and show their teams.
