The Terastal training isn't about actually just winning their battles; it is more on the Gym Leaders Evaluating if they are properly using Terastal. Liko may have lost the battle, but Katy deemed after watching her & Floragato battle & found the right time for Liko to decided to power-up Floragato with Terastal for her to pass!!!!
Which is really neat, it's training after all, they shouldn't be burdened with pressure to have to win a fight on top of meeting the leaders criteria. On top of that it's her first time using it, so it's only fair.
