==Stats==
==Battle==
The Adamantoise can use Limit Glove to destroy its opponent in one blow, so the player should not use Matra Magic on it, leaving it at 1 HP. It also uses Earth Shake to damage the whole party at once with Earth damage. Overall, while being a powerful enemy, it is not difficult to defeat.
===Strategy===
It is recommended to strike the tortoise's weakness to Lightning-elemental attacks by using Vivi's Thundara spell and Steiner's Thundara Sword, as well as keeping the party's HP up at all times to avoid dying to its Earth Shake attack, which Quina can learn by eating the enemy. This spell can also be avoided by equipping equipment that absorbs Earth-elemental attacks, or by simply having Float at all times. The Adamantoise can be defeated in one blow of Steiner's Iai Strike or Vivi's Death, Break, or Stop, should they connect, or through the use of Mustard Bomb or Frost.
