Way way back, Riz skipped this gym because throwing bugs at a bird gym seemed like a bad plan altogether. Now that he is back in the neighbourhood and striving towards a metal dog (and also, money for creamed corn), it's time to handle this.
Because of how much higher leveled Riz's Galvantula is compared to Falkner's birds, he's not put a lot of time into coming up with a very sneaky strategy. This is more of a brute force battle. For each bird, Riz will start off each battle with a Thunderwave, hoping to paralyse them, then he'll have Galvantula use Electro Ball (Galvantula is much quicker than Noctowl and Honchkrow, so he has a greater advantage using this move early on), Discharge, and finally Electroweb.
Because this is three birds on one spider, Galvantula will be holding a Sitrus Berry to heal herself at some point.
Should it get to a point where Galvantula faints, Riz will bring out his Trubbish Gozgoz as a back-up. Gozgoz is a poison type, which has no specific weaknesses or strengths over flying types, but he has a lot of moves that could induce poison and slowly eat away at any remaining HP (plus a pretty big level advantage) that Riz feels confident these two can get the job done.
