Defeat Marilyn First

Vivian

Priority:
Low

Marilyn

Priority:
High

Beldam

Priority:
Medium

When fighting with the shadow trio, you should prioritize defeating Marilyn first because she has a charge that increases her attack power by 2.

Then take down Beldam second, who can decrease your party's attack power and increase theirs. Lastly, defeat Vivian who has the lowest attack power among the three.

Use Spread Attacks

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Use Spread Attacks

Using spread attacks, which can damage multiple enemies at once, such as Earth Tremor, Koops' Power Shell move, and Quake Hammer, are very effective against the shadow trio.
