A lot of the Sujimon in Joker's gym are Nature or Shadow type. Exploit their weaknesses by carrying Blaze and Light Sujimon. Your new Super Sodachi Sujimon is Light type, so make sure to use him.

If you don't have strong Sujimon with high rarity, evolve Sujimon from lower rarity to get stronger ones.

Get Sujimon from Gachas in the 1st and 3rd Discreet Four Gyms

You can get light Sujimon from the gacha in the 1st Discreet Four gym, while you can get blaze Sujimon from the gacha in the 3rd Discreet Four gym.

You can draw gachas for the same price and ticket as regular gachas, so collect tickets by fighting against Sujimon trainers.

Gym Trainers Give More Tickets than Regular Trainers

You can rematch Gym trainers that you have fought previously. These trainers give more tickets than regular trainers in town.

If a gym trainer doesn't want to fight you, leave and battle some regular trainers, then return to the gym to check for the rematch.

How to Beat Joker

Boomstick Banneret Lv. 37	Pleatherface Lv. 38	Slycanthrope Lv. 40
Bonecleaver Lv. 39	Executioner Lv. 38	Tank Commander Lv. 40

Lure Slycanthrope into Attacking

Joker's Pleatherface and Tank Commander have high power stats and their techniques consume a lot of SP, so they can deal high damage even if they are not hitting weaknesses. Your party will get destroyed if they keep getting hit by these attacks every turn.

However, you can lure the enemy into using the much weaker Slycanthrope instead. Since it's a Frost type, put some Blaze Sujimon into play so that Slycanthrope will be the one attacking..
