Here are the Pokemon Office Worker Yvon uses in battle:

Spritzee (Fairy)
Swirlix (Fairy)
Vivillion (Bug/Flying)

Considering Yvon's team includes two Fairy-type Pokemon, Spritzee and Swirlix, it is advised that you bring a Steel-type or Poison-type Pocket Monster to counter them. Honedge can be an excellent choice for this match-up. It is a Steel- and Ghost-type Pokemon that can resist damage from the opponent's Fairy critters while using STAB Steel-type moves against them.

When it comes to countering Vivillion, your best choice would be to use Fletchinder. As a Fire- and Flying-type Pokemon, it can resist Fairy- and Bug-type attacks. Moreover, its Fire-type attacks can prove to be super-effective against Vivillion's Bug typing.

Apart from these two, you can also look into other Pokemon that can be useful to counter Fairy- and Bug-type monsters. Just relying on typing advantage should be enough to complete the Reaching Rank X mission in Pokemon Legends Z-A and progress to the next mission, Reaching Rank W.
