Alpha Grizbo is a Lv.50 Rock element boss that sleeps in a cave in the Sea of Flowers. Here's what to bring, every attack, the enraged state that opens it up, and how to catch it once it's down.

Where to Find Alpha Grizbo

Alpha Grizbo appears in a cave in the north-central part of the Sea of Flowers. Select the marker on the map and the game names the spot for you, so you can teleport straight there. There are no prerequisites to fight it: head to its location and the battle begins.

Alpha Grizbo Weaknesses

Alpha Grizbo is a Rock element Aniimo, so Grass and Water attacks both land as Super Effective. Electric, Fire, Ice and Rock attacks are all reduced to Not Effective, so leave those behind. There is no need to pick between the two good elements: Grass and Water Aniimo hit hard and also shrug off Alpha Grizbo's own Rock attacks, so either one works and a team with both is fine.

Alpha Grizbo Moves and Attacks

MoveHow to Dodge It
Claw SwipesAlpha Grizbo swings its claws 3 times in a row. Back out of its reach and wait for the last swipe rather than trying to trade through the string.
SlamAlpha Grizbo leaps into the air and drops rump-first, cracking the ground where it lands. The break spreads well past its body, so put real distance between you rather than just stepping aside.
Enraged StateAlpha Grizbo turns from brown to red and attacks harder, and an icon appears at the end of its health bar. Ride it out instead of forcing damage; once the state ends, Alpha Grizbo is weakened and its Break resistance drops, which is the window you want.
