How to counter Avalugg in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Avalugg has very low Special Defense and can be taken out with nearly any Special move. If players use super effective Special moves, Avalugg will almost always go down. Skeledirge, Charizard, Armarouge, and Glimmora can all deal super-effective damage to Avalugg with their STAB moves. Against both Skeledirge and Armarouge, it can use its Dark Type moves it learns by level up to damage them, but they will take Avalugg in one hit most often. Both Water and Ice Type Pokémon will resist Ice Type attacks, making them good counters to Avalugg as well if they can hit it on the Special side. The best Water Type Pokémon won't be able to get hit for much damage from Avalugg while being able to use moves like Surf without it resisting the attacks.
