You must navigate the correct sequence of platforms to progress through the gym.
Ground-type moves are super-effective against Electric types.
Special attackers are also useful to avoid getting paralyzed by the Static ability
Volkner team isn't just made up of Electric-type Pokémon.
He opens with Raichu which can paralyze with Static and counter Ground-types with Surf.
Ambipom is fast with Technician boosting its moves; a strong Fighting-type Pokémon should finish it quickly.
Octillery is a Water-type and can be easily countered with Grass or Electric-types.
Luxray at level 49 is his ace and hits very hard with Electric, Ice, Dark and Steel attacks.
Use Ground-type moves to deal super-effective damage to all his Pokémon.
