Alpha Irisal Weaknesses

The Alpha Irisal is a Grass element Aniimo. It takes Super Effective damage from Dark, Fire, and Wind element attacks, and only Not Effective damage from Rock and Water element attacks. Fire element Aniimo are the best choice to bring: their attacks are Super Effective, and they also resist the Alpha Irisal's own attacks. Avoid bringing Rock, Grass, or Water element Aniimo, since they only deal Not Effective damage.

Alpha Irisal Moves and Attacks

Move	How to Dodge It
Homing Petals	The Alpha Irisal unleashes 4 petals that home in on you. Escaping this requires careful dodging.
Water Sprouts	The Alpha Irisal creates water sprouts around it, starting with 1 in the middle before 4 more appear at its side 1 second later. Stay away from the red marks on the ground, since that's where the sprouts will appear.
Grass Laser	The Alpha Irisal creates a star-shaped laser that moves in a circular motion. Move with the laser, since it can change direction. You can still attack the Alpha Irisal during this.
Flower Bombs	The Alpha Irisal brings out a field of explosive flowers marked in red. They all detonate together, so move away from them before they explode.
Flower Missiles	The Alpha Irisal releases flower missiles that home in on you. Keep moving forward to escape them.
