| Geodude | Lv. 12 | Tackle · Defense Curl · Rock Throw · Rock Tomb |
| Nosepass | Lv. 15 | Tackle · Harden · Thunder Wave · Rock Tomb |
How to beat Roxanne
- Grass and Water attacks handle both Geodude slots efficiently.
- Nosepass can slow a sweep with Thunder Wave; carry status recovery or finish it quickly.
- Rock Tomb lowers Speed, so do not rely on a fragile fast attacker staying ahead for the full fight.
