Route 3-1 Placement & Boss Guide

Route 3-1 is a strict mechanics check that leaves very little room for experimentation. Regirock enforces a single, mandatory strategy and completely ignores most conventional damage setups. In this guide, we’ll break down the required role-based placement and explain why Poison damage is essential to defeating Regirock, regardless of your Pokémon levels or raw DPS output.

• 🟥 AoE DPS → Built for wave clear. Hits multiple enemies at once and keeps pressure off your defenses.
• 🟨 Slow / Stun → Controls enemy movement. Slows or stuns targets to stabilize tough waves and bosses.
• 🟧 Close / Range DPS → Versatile damage dealers that work well either up close or from a distance.
• 🟪 Anti Invisible → Essential for revealing and damaging invisible enemies on specific routes.
• 🟩 Aura → Provides passive buffs to nearby allies, improving overall team performance.
