Use Power Lift to Increase Attack and Defense Powers

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Use Power Lift

Poison Can be Cured with Sweet Feast

Gloomtail's poison attacks can be prevented by guard, but if you do get caught by the poison, you can use the Sweet Feast special move to cure the poison status effect.

Equip Feeling Fine to Prevent Poison

You can equip the Feeling Fine badge to completely prevent poison. Although it's not a high priority to use it, if you have spare BP, you can.

Mega Breath can be Avoided with Vivian's Veil

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Mega Breath can be Avoided

You can use Vivian's Veil move to avoid Gloomtail's mega breath move, which is when the dragon charges for one turn and then uses a fire breath move on the next one.
