Recommended Pal Team

To counter Zoe & Grizzbolt’s strengths, consider these Pal types:

Ground-Type Pals: Grizzbolt is weak to Ground-type attacks, making these Pals crucial for dealing significant damage. Consider using:
Rushoar: Found in the overworld on the starting island. Its Ground-type moves are super effective against Grizzbolt.
Fuddler: Found in cave dungeons. This Ground-type Pal can also deal heavy damage to Grizzbolt.
Gumoss: A common Pal found in the wild. While not as strong as the others, its Ground-type attacks can still be useful.

Pals with Guns or Ranged Attacks: Zoe is vulnerable to ranged attacks. Some effective options include:
Any Pal with Gun Proficiency: Many Pals can be equipped with guns, providing a range advantage against Zoe. Prioritize Pals that learn ranged attacks naturally, such as those with rock throw or water gun abilities.
Support Pal: Include a Pal with healing or supportive abilities to keep your team alive, such as:
Daedream: Its Partner Skill can heal your entire team.
Any Pal with Healing Moves: Several Pals can learn healing moves, which are crucial for surviving this battle.

Battle Strategies

  • Focus on Zoe: Zoe is the weaker of the two and should be prioritized. Damage to Zoe also contributes to the overall damage goal for the challenge.
  • Keep Your Distance from Grizzbolt: Grizzbolt’s melee attacks are devastating. Use ranged attacks and keep a safe distance whenever possible.
  • Dodge Attacks: Both Zoe and Grizzbolt have powerful attacks with clear telegraphing. Pay attention and dodge to avoid unnecessary damage.
  • Utilize the Environment: Stone pillars in the arena can provide cover from Grizzbolt’s attacks.
