Help in pokemon mystery dungeon 2!?

Question

I can't beat Groundon (i tried alot of times and i cant beat groundon). I am a level 21 pikachu and my partner is a level 21 Piplup. What can i do?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how much hp Groudon has. But I can certainly give you advice.

First off, try and slow down Groudon as much as you can. If Pikachu knows Thunder Wave, use it to slow him down and prevent him attacking. If it doesn't know it, then try and use Sleep Seeds to put it to sleep so you can attack.

Have Piplup use only Water-type moves. This takes advantage of Groudon's weakness. I advise that with Pikachu, use you most powerful attacks as well as any Blast Seeds that you may have.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: When you are in a dungeon, go to menu (X-button) then to moves. Go to Piplup's moveset. You notice how there are check marks by all of Piplup's moves. Select one of the moves, then choose the option 'Switch'. This removes the check mark beside the move, meaning that Piplup will not use it when it fights. That way, you can make sure that Piplup uses only Water-type moves when it is fighting.

As for Pikachu, do as I said earlier and use some Sleep Seeds to immobilize Groudon. Plus, there's always the possibility that if Groudon hits Pikachu with a move that it will be paraylzed.

Good luck with Groudon. You certainly have it easier than I did with Pikachu and Torchic.
