Sky Tower - Battle Tips
Recommended Level: 50+
The enemies inside the Sky Tower are stronger than they used to be. It's best to have your team at Level 50 and up to ensure that you can survive against them.
Have a Versatile Team of Pokemon Types
Within the Dungeon are different types of enemies. Your team should be versatile enough to be able to counter them as you go up the tower.
Recommended to Have Dragon Attacks
Since Rayquaza and a number of enemies within the tower are Dragon types, having Pokemon with Dragon-type moves is recommended. They don't have to be dragon types.
Recruit As Much Pokemon to Your Team
The boss at the end of the Dungeon is strong and can easily take down a team with its multiple target attacks. Select ones with rare qualities like Flygon & Masquerain.
How to Defeat Rayquaza
| Type | Flying, Dragon |

Tips to Defeat Rayquaza
Rayquaza Will Mega Evolve
Deal enough damage to Rayquaza and it will Mega Evolve. It will become stronger and will activate its Strong Wind ability that negates Flying-type weaknesses.
Use All Dodge Orb at the Start
At the start of the battle, immediately use an All Dodge Orb to boost the evasion of your team. This will help you against Rayquaza's high-damage multi-target moves.
Use Bounce or Surround Wand
A strong current can sweep through the floor, moving your Pokemon from their position. Make use of Bounce or Surround Wand to help you reposition close to Rayquaza again.
Stun / Petrify Rayquaza
When you're blown away, you can take this time to use items that can stun or petrify Rayquaza. This will stop it from spamming its long-distance attacks.
Do Not Stay on One Side
Having your team on just one side will put you in danger of Rayquaza's Hyper Beam and Dragon Ascent. It's best to spread out the team to ensure that not much will be hit by the beam when it's used.
Make Use of Link Moves
Increase your DPS by using Link Moves. The best combinations are often Buff + Attack moves. Don't forget to set them at the Gulpin Link Shop before going in the dungeon.
