Here is our next League Club Coach, it is Larry, who is both a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member, as a Gym Leader, he specializes in Normal-type Pokémon, and as an Elite Four member, he uses Flying-type Pokémon. His interactions are with Iono, Kofu, Ryme, Rika, Poppy, Hassel, and Geeta. You can invite Rika and Poppy if you trade with five different coaches, and Larry is our fifth one, which means we can invite them for interactions, and we can't invite Geeta until we have traded with eight different coaches.
Larry has a really interesting team when you fight him, he combines his Gym Leader team and his Elite Four team into one, but he has included a new addition from the Terarium, here is his team.
Oinkologne: Body Slam, Trailblaze, Play Rough, Iron Head
Tauros: Raging Bull, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Zen Headbutt
Dudunsparce: Hyper Drill, Earthquake, Glare, Rock Slide
Altaria: Moonblast, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Dual Wingbeat
Flamigo: Brave Bird, Close Combat, Throat Chop, Liquidation
Staraptor: Facade, Brave Bird, Close Combat, Thief

Larry starts off the battle with a female Oinkologne, it does know Play Rough to counter Fighting-type Pokémon, but it shouldn't be too hard if you have the correct counters, as Oinkologne doesn't have the best attack power. His new addition is a Kantonian Tauros, its Raging Bull is a Normal-type move, and it has some hard hitting coverage moves in Earthquake, Stone Edge, and Zen Headbutt. Dudunsparce doesn't have many moves to make use of Serene Grace other than Rock Slide, it does have the powerful Hyper Drill which can break through Protect. His two Flying-types are from his Elite Four team, Altaria isn't much, but it does have Flamethrower for Steel-type Pokémon and Dual Wingbeat for a Flying-type move, and Flamigo was his ace Pokémon when we fought him as an Elite Four member, it is a powerful force that hits hard with Brave Bird and Close Combat, and despite there being data on both Altaria and Flamigo with the Flying Tera Type, they don't Terastallize in this battle. Staraptor remains as Larry's last Pokémon and it will Terastallize to a Normal Tera Type, Staraptor has Facade which is further powered up by both STAB and the Normal Tera Type, and if you try to inflict a status condition, it can hit even harder, and it has Close Combat to take out any Rock or Steel-type Pokémon you try to wall it with.
After beating him, you get three Salty Herba Mysticas, and on your third interaction with Larry, he will trade you a Dudunsparce for any of your Pokémon. Larry's Dudunsparce has a Flying Tera Type and it has a Relaxed Nature, and it does come with Facade and Air Slash, both are TM moves for it, and it does have Serene Grace to put Air Slash to use. The Flying Tera Type is good defensively on Dudunsparce, as it has a good HP stat to put that to use, and the Partner Ribbon gives it the title "Larry's Dudunsparce", the Flying Tera Type at least references his type specialty in the Elite Four.
