    hey by the way if you have the move sleep powder it is very useful. I have a great advantage in boss battles because of it!

    They take hits and they spawn really close to the boss (if you're using them on a boss floor which you should) so they're more of tanks rather than damage dealers but if they survive long enough they do a hefty amount of damage as well.

    Yeah, sometimes I just hop on All-Revive Orbs because they save a lot more space. Multiple pokemon faint (recruits) in my party when it comes to the post-game dungeon so I have to use orbs instead of using individual seeds

    Can confirm that recovery items are key, especially for the really long dungeons like Sky Tower or any of the post-game stuff. So frustrating having to leave a dungeon just cause I didn't have enough reviver seeds...

    And there are dungeons where you cant recruit pokemon so Helpers are really good like Fugitive era and Deoxys cave.

    5 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    That's TRUE but they can absorb a from one to three hits each provided its not an AoE Pokemon like Raquaza and Groudon. Still pretty helpful I say.

    4 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    hmm i dont think they're as good because they dont really damage as much. plus, you can battle bosses with 8 pokemon already so...

    yeah and the fact that they summon gen1-3 starters is just so cool!!!!!!!!!!! i love helper orbs. you can get some from a wonder mail i think

    2 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    yup. they are quite rare though but quite inexpensive. i bought that orb from kecleon's shop once. i think i got the others from doing dungeon resuces etc.

    Helper Orbs are amazing too. They summon 3 Pokemon to help you in the fight. I consider them a must have when battling bosses.
