Help me on beating the 5th trainer in the nugget bridge (Yellow)?

Question

my current team

Magikarp Lv. 14
Pikachu Lv. 16
Mankey Lv. 17
Sandshrew Lv. 12

Yep he has a mankey (Lv. 18 I guess) and it knows two physical moves (low kick and karate chop) and he keep destroying my team with a SINGLE mankey

Comments

Your best choice is using tundershock, over and over, as it mankey has pretty bad special

Sandshrew has high physical stats and can learn both dig and slash pretty early. It should be able to beat Mankey after learning one of those attacks.

Answer 1

Teach Sandshrew either dig or slash. Sandshrew has high physical stats, so it should be able to defeat a Mankey.
