Chapter 15: Fontaine - The Watery Depths

Navigate Chapter 15, Fontaine - The Watery Depths in Pokémon Conquest. Master Warlord abilities and Pokémon linkage to conquer this water-themed region.

Fontaine is a region dominated by water, both in its landscape and its inhabitants. Warlords here, such as the graceful Lady Marina, frequently employ Water-type Pokémon, making Fire and Grass-type Pokémon your most valuable assets. Expect battles to take place on watery terrain, which can hinder the movement of non-aquatic Pokémon. To succeed, prioritize recruiting Pokémon with the Grass or Electric typing. A Grass-type like Exeggutor can exploit the Water type's weakness and potentially inflict status conditions, while an Electric-type such as Raichu can deal super-effective damage and paralyze opponents. Lady Marina's signature Pokémon, a Starmie with the ability Natural Cure, can instantly heal status conditions upon switching out, making it crucial to focus on raw damage output rather than relying solely on status effects. Moves like Hydro Pump for Water-types (to mirror their own strength) or Thunderbolt for Electric-types are essential. Be aware of the battlefield effects in Fontaine; some areas might have strong currents that can push Pokémon around, altering positioning significantly. Consider equipping moves that can counter or utilize these currents to your advantage. The item Mystic Water, often found in submerged ruins, boosts the power of Water-type moves by 20%, so if you're facing a Water-heavy enemy, having a Pokémon that can utilize this item effectively can be a game-changer. When facing warlords like Lady Marina, who often have Pokémon with high Special Attack, consider Pokémon with high Special Defense or moves that lower the opponent's Special Attack. The item Spell Tag, found in ancient temples, boosts the power of Ghost-type moves by 20%, which can be useful if you've recruited a Ghost-type Pokémon that can exploit a secondary weakness of a Water-type opponent.
