Dungeon where you can find Big Apples, and a boss fight against 3 Pokemon appears at the end.
If you want an easier boss fight, you can recruit a Sableye using Wonder Mail and add it to your team.
Otherwise, try to recruit guest party members before the boss to gain a numbers advantage.
Blast Seeds are particularly effective against Ekans and Medicham due to their low HP.

Boss Strategy

Gengar (298 HP) - Shadow Punch / Hypnosis / Night Shade / Lick

  • Gengar's Cursed Body ability can seal your move, so consider using a weaker move first when attacking.
  • Unlike the originals, Ground type attacks are super effective since Gengar no longer has Levitate.

Ekans (149 HP) - Wrap / Leer / Poison Sting / Bite

  • Status conditions are not very effective against Ekans thanks to their boss properties + Shed Skin.

Medicham (149 HP) - Zen Headbutt / Meditate / Confusion / Feint

  • Medicham can boost their attack via Meditate, so try to defeat them quickly.
