Strategy
Mossdeep Gym is unique in that it has two Gym Leader, Tate and Liza, that work together in a double battle using their Psychic-type Pokémon. The gym's puzzle is quite easy, you'll just need to step on switches that open up new pathways that will eventually lead you to the Gym Leaders. Liza and Tate's Psychic and Rock duo can make Mossdeep one of the most difficult Gyms to defeat; but they do have weaknesses of Water, Ghost, and Grass types. Watch out for the variety of move types (Fire, Rock, and Grass) that might be unexpected from Solrock. Focusing on one of the two before the other should make this battle more manageable.
After defeating the Leader duo, you'll get the Mind Badge and TM04 - Calm Mind for your efforts. You'll now be able to use Dive outside of battle and rely on Pokémon up to Level 80.
