Am I missing a TM shadow ball or something? The fresh water guy at the beginning of the gym said a non-ghost Pokemon that learns ghost type moves is the best way to counter this gym but there’s no Pokemon to my knowledge that can do this other than some that can maybe learn astonish. And I have no ghost TMs. So there’s no super effective moves against this guys Pokemon and all of them can two shot my team. I enjoy the sense of accomplishment with figuring out strats to win on expert but it’s just starting to get frustrating and I don’t know a whole lot about min max breeding or EV training. Maybe I’m in over my head?

Do the IVs transfer from both the mom and the dad? How do you end up with a particular egg move? Do I just get five eggs run around with slugma and hope for the best? That’s what I started doing but it takes forever. I don’t know what to do.
