Need help in defeating Greara in the Forsaken Laboratory [minor spoilers]

[Novahstar]

I'm having some trouble with Geara in the forsaken lab. I'm able to get through their first 4 pokémon before i get the rest of my team defeated by the Giratina and clefairy.

(Alolan) Dugtrio - sand force - soft sand 

sucker punch

mud bomb

earth power 

dig

Weepinbell - chlorophyll - poison barb (for the Persian's covet)

stun spore

knock off

vine whip

cut

Frogadier - protien - rock gem

smoke screen

water pulse

quick attack

Charjabug - battery - no item

Acrobatics

x-scissor 

spark

Sandslash - sand veil - quick claw

fury cutter

rock smash

slash

dig

Xatu - magic bounce - twisted spoon

do you have any rare candies if so just use it on frogadier and then reverse it with common candies and if you have any pokemon with a set up move in the pc just paralyze the persian and set up

Ribombee is a decent Pokémon to take out Giratina. It learns Dazzling Gleam at lv 35 and can hit both opponents with it. Also, use Weepinbell's Knock Off on the Clefairy; it carries an Eviolite and its defences are heavily boosted with it. A Normal type with Dark or Ghost type moves can also take out Giratina, because it can only use Dragon Claw or Thunder Wave against you then.

Ah, that's a good idea.

Do you know where i can find a cutiefly/ribombee? I'm having a bit of trouble finding where they are.

I don't think ribombee is available at that point, but you can find cutiefly in pom pom meadow (that place in the west side of amethyst cave) provided you have both rock smash and cut
