How to Beat Grizzbolt & Zoe

Grizzbolt uses entirely electric-type attacks, with no coverage for his ground type weakness. So, it would be wise to bring ground type Pals to this fight. Since this is the first boss, your options are relatively limited, but with open exploration and breeding, you can get some powerful Pals to tackle this fight easily enough.

Claw Swipes: Grizzbolt will attack with three hits. The first two are close-range claw swipes with a short wind-up and gap in between, and for the third part of this attack, Grizzbolt will jump into the air and slam down with a medium-sized area of effect. You can avoid this easily enough by dodging backwards for the first two swipes, and forwards at the last moment on the jump.

Shock Blast: Grizzbolt will run towards you to close the distance and, when almost touching you, create an electric blast in a radius around him. While he is running at you, you can use this opportunity to kite him. He will spend a long time trying to get to you before giving up, so you and your Pal can get some easy damage in here as long as you keep moving. To avoid the blast, dodge backwards as soon as Grizzbolt stops moving.

Shock Burst: Grizzbolt will fire a wide fan of electric projectiles that travel far and relatively fast. If you are at long range, you can avoid this easily be simply standing between their trajectory paths, but if you are closer, you will need to dodge forwards right before they hit you to avoid the damage.

Shock Barrage: Grizzbolt may pause briefly before summoning two hovering orbs above his head. These will rapidly fire duos of electric projectiles at you over a short duration. They don't have great tracking, so you can avoid the damage by moving sidewards, but using the pillars is more safe.

Lightning Streak: Grizzbolt can create a fast-moving lightning strike in a forward direction that deals heavy damage. This is technically multiple strikes along the path, so dodging backwards or forwards can have the opposite effect of getting you hit multiple times. Instead, you need to dodge sideways to avoid this.

Lock On: Grizzbolt may lock onto you with a red laser over a pretty long duration. This gives you ample time to take cover behind one of the pillars before a very fast-moving electric projectile strikes you. This attack is very difficult to dodge, but you get lots of time to stand behind a pillar to avoid the damage entirely.
