What to Do When Boxes Become Smaller

Break the Shrunken Containers

Shrunken Boxes
When the event begins, look for the small containers scattered across the field. They’re harder to hit due to the smaller size of the container.

All Box Types and How to Destroy Them

Use Attack Items And Copy Abilities

It's more effective to break them using attack items, copy abilities or ranged attacks. These methods let you destroy the shrunken containers more reliably and collect the items inside.

Benefits of Smaller Containers

Receive More Items Than Usual

Although the containers become smaller and harder to hit, the amount of Power-Ups they drop increases. This event is one of the best chances to gather a large number of stat-boosting items quickly.
