Walkthrough

1
On the first turn against the Pokey, use your strongest hammer attacks on its head.
2
After the Pokey grows a segment, guarantee two slots on the Battle Spinner (a mechanic that allows for bonus effects during battle) and use chained Hopslippers for high damage (10 points per sticker).
3
When the Pokey has 3 or 4 segments, use the Bat sticker (highly recommended for 30 points of damage per segment) or other high-damage stickers to force it downward and mitigate incoming damage.
4
Continue dealing high damage with Hopslippers or Special Stickers.
5
Once the Pokey reaches 150 HP, you can use stickers like Shiny/Regular/Flashy Jumps.
6
Defeat smaller green Pokeys summoned by the main Pokey using Line Jumps, Shells, or Special Stickers like Shaved Ice.
7
When the Pokey has less than 100 HP, it will use a spinning head attack that deals 2 points of damage per hit; dodge by repeatedly pressing the A button.
8
When the Pokey's HP is very low, it may heal using photosynthesis for 10 HP per heal; continue attacking to defeat it.

Tips

For each 50 HP the Pokey loses, another segment becomes unusable.
The Bat sticker is highly recommended for its high damage output per segment.
The spinning head attack can be dodged by repeatedly pressing A.
The Pokey's photosynthesis heal is not very potent.
