Well, I train to around level 400 for free because of level cap being at 500 for new people, I could probably train farther if I could do it by loan, but I've been having troubles getting the NPC trainer's pokemon low enough on health for a level 5 pokemon to kill it :P I was wondering if anyone had a tip to help me get it's health low enough for even a level 5 to make it faint. I fight against Swimmer Richard, so maybe there's some moves that could be used to get him low on health? If you know anything that could help me with this, please reply :) Thanks for reading!

npc trainers help you train your pokes and you use bolt strike on the swimmered richards prinplup

Yeah, I've used it, but it kills him in 2 hits :P Is there a good way to get his prinplup low on health instead of making it feint?
