Blaziken utilizes White Herb to negate stat reductions and focuses on physical attacks.
Togekiss is the most dangerous with Expert Belt boosting super-effective moves and Serene Grace for increased additional effects.
Battle Tips:

Zapdos: Use ground Pokemon with rock attacks or any Pokemon with Ice Beam. Avoid Water, Flying, Fighting, Grass, Steel, Ice, Dark, and Psychic types.

Blaziken: Employ Pokemon with Ground, Water, Flying, or Psychic attacks. Be cautious of Flare Blitz recoil and Superpower stat reductions.

Togekiss: Avoid using Fighting, Poison, and Normal types. Consider using a ghost type or any Pokemon with Rock, Electric, or Ice attacks.

Build a team that covers the weaknesses of Dahlia's Pokemon. Utilize super-effective moves and consider the specific strategies and items each Pokemon possesses.
