No Story Missions take place in this Dungeon.
Cloyster | Once Cloyster reaches level 13, it should be able to take care of tons of enemies with Spike Cannon due to its Skill Link ability. However, Cloyster can be a bit hard to use before level 13 as starting moves are randomized. |
Masquerain | You may have to recruit a couple of different Masquerain for this build, but this Pokemon can be very useful for Joyous Tower as it can get Quiver Dance, Ominous Wind, and Bug Buzz as its starting moves. Masquerain can also resist physical attacks as it has the Intimidate ability. |
Scizor | Scizor's moveset works well in Joyous Tower. It's Technician ability works well with Pursuit, Quick Attack, and Bullet Punch, which are all potential starting moves. It also learns Agility at level 17, which can be very useful for the later parts of the dungeon. It's only downside is its weakness to Fire-type moves, but it makes up for it with many resistances. |
Since you'll be starting from level 5 in Joyous Tower, we recommend recruiting Pokemon that have great starting moves like the ones we recommend above. Note that the level of your moves will start from level 1, so we don't recommend using moves that initially have low power.
Speed is very important in Joyous Tower as you will want to escape from fights in the later parts of the dungeon. As such, we recommend using Pokemon that can learn moves like Agility or Rock Polish.
Joyous Tower has big open rooms, so you can easily create situations where you can safely attack enemy Pokemon from the corridor.
Narrow Focus works well with our attack from the corridor strategy, and Riled Up makes it easier to explore a floor since the boost lasts as long as you stay on the same floor.
XP Boost is also really useful as you will have access to more moves faster.
Watch out! Enemy Pokemon in Joyous Tower can pick up and throw projectiles like Silver Spike at you, so be careful unless you want a half-dead team.
In addition, be careful when you use your own projectiles, as enemy Pokemon can pick those up too.
In the early stages of the dungeon, you don't need to worry about leveling up too much, so focus on collecting as many items as possible.
Be careful as you go through these floors as many of the Pokemon here can attack from long-range. However, if you're able to recruit some of these Pokemon, you should be safe until around 60F.
Pokemon to Watch Out For | Description |
---|---|
Cyndaquil and other starters | Appears until 15F. These are able to attack from afar with moves like Razor Leaf, Ember, and Water Gun, so be careful. |
Scyther | Be careful with how you position your team, or else you might fall victim to a Focus Energy + Quick Attack combo from a Scyther with Technician. |
Linoone | Linoone can be deadly if you aren't careful as it can use the multi-strike Fury Swipes and long-range Quick Attack. Approach these with caution and make sure you have enough HP when you do so. |
Use these floors to collect more items and to level up as the only Pokemon to really watch out for here is Dugtrio.
Pokemon to Watch Out For | Description |
---|---|
Dugtrio | Appears from 24F-29F. Be careful as the room-affecting Magnitude can kill you outright if it's powerful enough, so deal with these Pokemon from the corridors. |
These floors are some of the toughest in Joyous Tower, and if you can go through these safely, you should be good up until 90F.
For dangerous enemy Pokemon, including those that can mega evolve, we recommend attacking them with Two-Edge Wands and Silver Spikes from the corridors. You do not want to fight them head-on.
Pokemon to Watch Out For | Description |
---|---|
Bellossom | With its Chlorophyll ability, Bellossom can be very dangerous with its Sunny Day + Leaf Storm combo where it can attack you twice in one turn from afar. Attack it from corridors using items. |
Gardevoir | Gardevoir can be a pain to deal with since it can heal other enemies with Heal Pulse. Attack it with items from afar as it can cause status conditions that will have you attacking your teammates |
Your main priority for these floors is to get to the stairs as fast as possible by using the items and speed-boosting moves that you've collected and learned so far. Try to avoid enemies if you can, but if you have to face them, use items.
Pokemon to Watch Out For | Description |
---|---|
Camerupt | Appears in 80F-84F. They can be very dangerous as not only do they have the room-affecting Earth Power but they mega evolve too. |
Kecleon | Appears in 77F. While these Kecleon may look identical to the unbeatable shopkeepers that attack you when you steal from them, these are much easier to defeat, so don't waste any items on them. |
A lot of the Pokemon you will see in these floors come from Sky Tower, so it may be hard to escape from them. However, use your items wisely and apply speed-boosts when necessary, and you should be able to escape to the next floor.
Pokemon to Watch Out For | Description |
---|---|
Altaria | Altaria appears in the first half on 90F-98F. Through Natural Recovery and Refresh, it can heal itself and other enemy Pokemon of Status Conditions. It can also buff itself using Dragon Dance and Cotton Guard. |
Aerodactyl | Appears at 94F onwards, it is dangerous because of Agility. Aerodactyls tend to use Agility more often than Scizors. It also has Pressure drains your PP as you use moves against it. |
Flygon | Appears at 95F, Flygons are very dangerous because of Earth Power and Hyper Beam moves that can easily destroy your team. It also has Dragon Dance that allows it to boost its travel speed. Flygons are very uncommon but if you see one, prevent it from dealing damage by knocking it out as soon as possible. |
Scizor | Its STAB Technician Bullet Punch is very powerful. However, it is fairly low in health. |
Claydol | It can raise its stats with Cosmic Power so knock it out as soon as possible. It can damage your Pokemon at long range using Psybeam so beware. |
Coming soon.
On the last floor, there are 12 Deluxe Boxes and 3 Joy Seeds waiting to be claimed. Be sure to collect everything!
