Tips and Strategies

Cannot Recruit Other Pokemon

In your first time here, you'll be unable to gain any new friends aside from Absol. In addition, there are few options to raise your level or obtain useful Items.

The only options to increase your level and collect Items are the optional Dungeons Rock Path and, later, Snow Path. If you get stuck, consider visiting these Dungeons to stregthen your team.

Pokemon to Watch Out for

Bagon ImageBagon Nidorina ImageNidorina

Nidorina's Growl will lower your Pokemon's Attack, so be sure to take advantage of Wonder Tiles to reset your Stats. Also, Bagon's Attack is higher than Pokemon you're used to encountering, so it might take you by surprise. Be sure to take them on one at a time.

Recommended Pokemon

Cubone ImageCubone

You're disallowed from using any Pokemon other than your Starter and Partner in this Dungeon, so your choices are limited. However, if you happened to use Cubone as a Starter or Partner, you'll have an advantage against the Poison-type Pokemon appering here.

don't forget blast seeds. they are common in both optional dungeons and they are quite broken in the game. 5 blast seeds are enough to take down Moltres and Articuno easily (with ur partner attacking ofc)

you can run rock path and snow path over and over for levels and tiny reviver seeds. get enough and you'll surely beat moltres and articuno
