How to beat Gil Snapper
Details
The Gil Snapper is a Rank III Elite mark which is hunted on the Giza Plains. It spawns in a special area of Giza Plains which has to be accessed through striking down driftwoods to create a bridge during the Rains. The seeq Bansat wil aid you in fighting this mark, which--unlike many titantoises--has a different weakness.
Moveset
The Gil Snapper will enter battle with Haste, Protect, and Shell active. Flatten can knockout a character, while Silence and Blind can stop a character from casting spells and hitting its mark, respectively. Gil Snapper shares the same Purify spell with the Rocktoise, which it can cast to cure itself of ailments.

Strategy
There are two routes to choose when facing off against the Gil Snapper. By this time, the player may have collected enough rep for the Bubble Belt to become available at the Bazaar. In this case, the party may take the Bubble Belt route, which would make hunting the Gil Snapper a lot easier and simpler.
On the other hand, the titantoise is weak to Lightning-element weapons and spells. In that case, the player can go and equip items that bestow the status Reflect or cast Reflect on the whole party, including Bansat. It should be pretty obvious what to do with this tactic--you should cast at least Thundara on your entire party. If done correctly, the Gil Snapper's HP will go down considerably faster.
