Tips and Strategies
Pokemon Square Will Become Blocked In Story
After your first time in Great Canyon, you will need to talk to Whiscash. It will start an extended cutscene, after which you will be temporarily unable to visit Pokemon Square. This will prevent you training in Makuhita Dojo, depositing money, or buy items in Kecleon Shops.
Before heading to Great Canyon, use most of your Dojo Tickets to stregthen your team. The recommended levels for the next three dungeons are Level 20 to 25. You should also deposit your extra money, stock up on items, and buy Rescue Camps as needed.
You can visit the Pokemon Square one last time, after the extended cutscene that happens when you talk to Whiscash and before you are required to head out to the next dungeon.
Best Pokemon to Use
 Cyndaquil
|
 Charmander
|
 Torchic
|
 Spearow
|
The Pokemon in Great Canyon. Those Pokemon are weak against Fire and Flying. This is where Cyndaquil, Charmander, Torchic and Spearow gets useful. They can easily deal with these Pokemon. If you also have the Aerial Ace TM, and you have on a Pokemon with another move linked to it, that should be enough to knock out these Pokemon in a turn.
If you see a Houndoom early on, try to battle it. You might be able to get it to fight for you in the dungeon. If you have Ravaged Field unlocked as a friend camp, it can help you in your battles next time. It is very powerful in dungeons like Uproar Forest. Also, it can Mega Evolve too!
