Sootseer Paldeck Entry

Sootseer
It was once believed that as the world approached its end, the flame would weaken. Doomsayers would repeatedly rejoice when the flame began to weaken, but in the end, it turned out to be a prank by Sootseer. At least, for now.

Sootseer Stats

Sootseer Level 55 and Level 1 Stats

Sootseer Min and Max Stats (IVs) For Every Level

Hidden IV Stat Values for Pals

IVs are hidden stats each Pal has for each stat that randomizes their HP, Atk, and Def to a specific range. Having 0 IV for a stat means the Pal gets a 0% bonus, while having the maximum 100 IV gives a 30% bonus to the respective stat.

For example, if two Lamballs have the same passives and buffs, the Lamball with the higher HP IV will always have a higher HP pool.

A Pal's IVs cannot be altered but can be used to influence its child's IVs through breeding. Therefore, breeding is an excellent option to pass a parent's high IV and favorable Passive Skills to obtain a Pal with the highest IVs possible with the preferred Passive Skills.

Sootseer Catch Strategy and Weakness

Bring a Dragon or Water Type Pal

Since Sootseer is weak to Dragon or Water element Pals due to its Dark Fire Elemental Type, it's best to bring Dragon or Water type Pals to fight against it.
