Boss Rush

## Synopsis

## Tips and tricks

### Pokemon

#### Damage dealers with Long Reach

In Boss Rush, Pokemon with long ranged attacks or extended attack range work well against the bosses. Pokemon like Greninja and Cinderace can strike from a distance and damage the bosses' health very safely. However, from a distance, Sp. Atk types of Pokemon like Pikachu and Delphox may pelt the bosses with their low-cooldown, burst damage attacks.

#### Brawlers and Physical Burst

Garchomp and Tsareena, two brawler-type Pokemon, are excellent choices for Boss Rush. They can deal out a lot of damage against boss Pokemon while also tanking a little for the squad. Azumarill deserves special attention as its special passive ability,  Huge Power, deals critical damage to a single adversary. Given that you will typically only be up against one opponent Pokemon in this mode, this is very helpful.

#### Mobile / High Burst Damage

Absol and Zeraora, two mobile Pokémon with significant physical burst damage output, may excel in Boss Rush. They can swiftly manoeuvre across the arena to avoid boss moves because to their moveset, which also allows them to inflict significant burst damage.

#### Help for Healing

In this game mode, healers play a crucial role. Boss Pokemon are quite damaging, and they're even more so on harder difficulty levels, so having a steady supply of healing would be very beneficial.

### Boss Tips

####  Zacian and Behemoth Blade

Periodically, Zacian will utilise its ultimate attack, Behemoth Blade, to slash across the whole arena and cause tremendous damage. One member of the squad should employ the Aeos Shield that is placed in the arena's middle to lessen the effects of this. Don't forget to turn on the shield while holding it to avoid Behemoth Blade's swipe! Holding the shield in place has no effect and still puts your team at risk. Press Y on a Switch or use the Battle Item button on a mobile device to turn on the shield. The shield will flash yellow when it is active, letting you know. Nevertheless, the shield's active window is rather little, so be careful to utilise it before Zacian swipes his sword.

####  Using Fluffy Tail

Fluffy Tail would be effective on boss Pokemon because they are regarded as wild Pokemon. In this game mode, use this to freeze the boss to deliver more damage.

####  Sitrus Berries

The entire battle will feature sporadic spawns of Sitrus Berries. Use it only when your health is about to run out.

####  Stun Meter

Underneath the Pokemon's Health is a specific stun metre that you must fill up in order to successfully attack. Once full, the boss Pokemon will be temporarily stunned and vulnerable to attacks. Keep in mind that moves that would normally cause crowd control will not affect boss Pokemon; this is true even in the standard Unite fight style.

####  Announcements

A text message will appear underneath the Boss Pokemon's health bar to alert you about upcoming boss moves. Make a note of the action so you'll know how to react.

####  AOE Indicators

Also, certain moves feature area of effect markers that show you which locations to keep away from. Be aware of this and avoid them as necessary.
