Geralt will lead with Eskel the Houndoom (80), as he's immune to psychic-type damage and his dark-type attacks deal double damage. He'll start off with Howl and Smog to increase his own attack power and attempt to poison the Girafarig before going at it with dark-type moves like Crunch.
> vs. Clefable
Geralt will first send out Lettuce the Dhelmise (61), and may god have mercy on this Clefable's soul, because Lettuce won't.
Now, one might say, 'Geralt, what status effect/type combo exploit are you using for this battle?' and the answer to that is none. Lettuce is going to use Heavy Slam, and only Heavy Slam, which by virtue of being steel-type is effective against Clefable. Also, because Clefable is 19% of Lettuce's weight, it has a base power of 120. Lettuce is here to chew gum and kick ass, and it doesn't have a mouth.
Should Lettuce not be enough for this no-holds-barred beatdown, Geralt will switch to Gladeal the Doublade (85), as Doublade's steel/ghost type makes them immune to normal attacks and take 1/2 from fairy. In order to cut down on the speed gap, she'll start off with Automatize, raising Gladeal's speed by two stages, Power Trick to swap her attack stat value with her higher defense stat value, and then use Iron Head to pummel the poor creature into submission.
> vs. Miltank
For Whitney's Miltank, Geralt will switch to Roach the Mudsdale (65). As a ground-type, Roach only takes 1/2 damage from rock-type moves like Rollout, and since she's female, she isn't susceptible to Attract. Roach will start off the battle with Iron Defense, raising her defense by two stages, then will focus on using fighting-type moves. She'll use Double Kick unless Miltank uses a high damage-dealing normal-type move like Body Slam, in which case she'll use Counter in order to hit back for four times the damage.
If Roach isn't enough to take down the Miltank menace, Geralt will switch back to Gladeal, as her steel type gives her 1/2 damage on normal-type attacks even with the Milktank's scrappy ability. She'll use Automatize and Iron Defense to increase her own stats before hacking away with Sacred Sword to mop up whatever's left of the Miltank.
Geralt will start off here with Scorpion the Galarian Rapidash (52), since his psychic-type moves will be effective against ghost-types. His strategy will be to attack first with Psybeam for the 10% confusion chance, then follow up with Psycho Cut because of its higher critical chance. Rinse and repeat.
> vs. Misdreavus
For this Pokemon, Geralt will switch to Eskel the Houndoom (80). Eskel's dark-type attacks are effective against ghost-types, so he'll use Leer and Howl to give himself the advantage before laying into this poor creature with Bite and Crunch. In the event that Misdreavus uses Perish Song, Geralt will swap Eskel out for Lambert the Lycanroc (69, nice) who will similarly lay in with Bite and Crunch. This thing just ain't getting out of being eaten, okay, it's just a matter of which hungry dog does it.
> vs. Gengar
Scorpion's going to be back in the game for this one, going in with Psybeam to try to inflict Confusion, then Psycho Cut for those sweet sweet critical hits. Should the Gengar manage to get a Hypnosis in or KO him, Geralt will switch Scorpion out for Eskel. Eskel will start off with Leer and Howl to decrease defense and increase his own attack, then set in with Crunch. If Eskel's not enough or he also gets put to sleep, Geralt will switch him out for Roach the Mudsdale (65), assuming that we're following Gen VIII rules and Gengar can no longer have Levitate and is weak to Ground. If that's the case, she'll go in with Mud Slap to lower accuracy and then Earthquake the shit out of everything. If that's still somehow not enough, Geralt will put Lambert back in the game to go at it again with Crunch. And if we're still not done here, he's sending in Bard the Talonflame (82) to hit it with Flare Blitz and Brave Bird until it's done.
