Tips and Strategies

Best Items to Bring

Heal Seed ImageHeal Seed Petrify Wand ImagePetrify Wand Cheri Berry ImageCheri Berry

The Petrify Wand is for the Raikou boss fight and the Cheri Berry is for dealing with the many Pokemon that can deal Paralysis to you.

This is in addition to the always needed Apples, Oran Berries and Tiny Reviver Seeds

Best Pokemon to Use

Discharge, an Electric type that is room wide is prevalent in Lightning Field so if your Pokemon are mostly Ground type, you will find yourself breezing through the floors with ease. You are offensively at an advantage as well with all of the STAB Ground moves these Pokemon carry.

Pokemon with Lightning Rod

Pokemon with Lightning Rod are able to absorb and negate Electric moves from your Pokemon so if you have them, it is really smart to bring them into the dungeon even if they are not the strongest Pokemon you have.

Vs. Boss

Raikou ImageRaikou

Raikou can damage all of your Pokemon in the room using Discharge. Grass types resist Electric moves but Ground types are better since they are immune to Electric types. They also have STAB moves that are strong against Raikou so make sure to bring them so that your run will be easy.

Pokemon to Watch Out For

Pokemon with Discharge

These Pokemon can damage your Pokemon at a Room-wide range using Discharge. Be careful in dealing with them in large rooms as damage can accumulate from afar. Try to deal with them as soon as possible.
