During the Poisonous vs. Paralyzing Tactics mission, you’ll mediate a heated debate between two strategists championing opposing status effects in combat. This challenge becomes available after Mission 08 and gaining complete access to Lumiose City in Pokémon Legends Z-A. Navigate to Vert Sector 3, where trainers Lyse and Venin await, locked in argument about battle supremacy.
Essential preparation involves stocking Cheri Berries, Pecha Berries, Paralyze Heals, and Antidotes. These countermeasures prove vital against the debilitating tactics employed by both opponents.
Completing the Poisonous vs. Paralyzing Tactics Challenge
The initial confrontation pits you against Lyse, master of immobilization tactics. Her roster features Electrike (Lvl 16) and Budew (Lvl 16).
Optimize your strategy with these approaches:
- Equip team members with Cheri Berries for automatic paralysis recovery
- Maintain quick-access Paralyze Heals during combat
- Deploy Ground-type allies like Diggersby (evolved from Bunnelby in Wild Zone 1) to neutralize Electrike
- Switch to thermal, aerial, frozen, or psychic specialists when facing Budew
Victory against Lyse yields a Paralyze Heal.
Subsequently, challenge Venin, the poison specialist fielding Venipede (Lvl 16) and Bellsprout (Lvl 16). These toxic adversaries demand focused countermeasures:
- Equip Pecha Berries for immediate poison negation
- Stock Antidotes/Full Heals for emergencies
- Leverage aerial or thermal attackers for super-effective damage
- Exploit poison immunity with Honedge (located at Wild Zone 4’s cemetery during nighttime)
Defeating Venin rewards a Full Heal.
