Passing Earl's Pokemon Academy battles:
Read the lectures, then pass his test. After that is done, and before battle, read the hint. It will tell you what you need to do in order to pass the battle with a star. For example, to battle Lass Nancy in round one, you need to use Pokemon with support moves, as Earl says in his hint for Lass Nancy. This means you may want to use Noctowl for Foresight, Golbat for Haze, and Eevee for Swift, since Swift can never miss. You do not have to use the support move necessarily, just the Pokemon that has it.
