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.
