BOSS: Spiritomb (x1)

Learn how to beat Spiritomb in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Discover its weaknesses, resistances, and the best strategies to overcome this tricky Ghost/Dark type.

Alright, let's talk about Spiritomb! This Ghost/Dark type can be a real pain because it doesn't have any actual weaknesses. Seriously, it resists Poison and is completely immune to Normal, Fighting, and Psychic moves. So, you can't just brute-force it with your usual go-to attacks.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Type: Ghost/Dark
• Weaknesses: None
• Resistances: Poison
• Immunities: Normal, Fighting, Psychic

Strategy:

• The biggest threat from Spiritomb is its Hypnosis move. If it puts you or your partner to sleep, it'll likely follow up with Dream Eater. This move deals heavy damage AND heals Spiritomb, so you really want to avoid getting put to sleep. If you do get hit, try to wake up ASAP!
• Spiritomb can also use Ominous Wind, which hits both you and your partner and might even boost its own stats. Keep an eye on that.
• Since direct damage is tricky, this is a great fight to bring out any status-inducing seeds or moves you might have. Confuse, paralysis, or sleep (on it!) can really turn the tide.
• Honestly, while it can be annoying, Spiritomb isn't the toughest boss you'll face. Just stay focused, manage your status conditions, and you'll get through it!

After the fight, Grovyle will explain that Spiritomb was just scared. This kind of thing happens more often later on, so get ready!
