Alpha Scorchhowl Weaknesses

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