- Move Sets: Grunts use Egg Moves and TMs, so anticipate varied move sets and prepare accordingly.
- Leveling Up: Ensure your team is leveled appropriately for the increasing difficulty of encounters.
Tips for Facing Bosses
- Boss Pokémon: Expect Boss Pokémon with two health bars; plan your strategy around extended battles.
- Mega Evolutions: Prepare for Mega Pokémon by having counters ready.
- Legendary and Paradox Pokémon: In rematches, bosses may use Legendary and Paradox Pokémon, which require strong and well-rounded teams to defeat.
By understanding the structure and challenges posed by each Evil Team in PokéRogue, you can better prepare for your playthroughs and emerge victorious.
