Strategy:

• Thorn can be found in the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth.
• Be careful with physical attacks! Thorn's counter is Pollen, which inflicts Sleep and Darkness on your entire party. This can be a real pain to deal with, especially if multiple characters get hit.
• It also casts Fira on a single target, which is less of a concern than the Pollen counter.
• Since Thorn is weak to Fire, your best bet is to have Lulu unleash her Fire magic. This will deal significant damage and is much safer than trying to hit it with physical attacks.
• Focus on using magic, particularly Fire spells, to take Thorn down efficiently and minimize the risk of getting hit with status ailments.
