Defeat Zubat and Koffing in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky using Pikachu's Electric moves. Learn about team formation and the start of Chapter 2.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    If you have Pikachu, focus its Electric moves on Zubat, as Zubat is weak to them.
  2. 2
    Have your other Pokémon focus on Koffing.
  3. 3
    Warning: Prioritize defeating Zubat first because it has the move Leech Life, which absorbs HP.
  4. 4
    Once Zubat is defeated, switch your focus to Koffing.
  5. 5
    If you brought a seed, throw it at Zubat first before engaging.
  6. 6
    After defeating Zubat and Koffing, they will run away, dropping your partner's treasure.
  7. 7
    Your partner will then talk to you about wanting to become an explorer at the local guild to investigate a mysterious stone.
  8. 8
    Your partner will ask you to join up in a team; you must say "yes" to progress. Saying "no" will not allow you to proceed.
  9. 9
    Chapter 1 will end after you agree to form a team.
  10. 10
    You and your partner will head to Wigglytuff's Guild.
  11. 11
    A sentry will have trouble identifying your footprint due to your rare species.
  12. 12
    You will be allowed inside the guild.
  13. 13
    Inside, you and your partner will go down a floor.
  14. 14
    Chatot will greet you and take you to Guildmaster Wigglytuff.
  15. 15
    After some talking, you will choose a name for your team, or use the default "PokéPals". The game automatically adds "Team" to your chosen name.
  16. 16
    You will receive a Treasure Bag, which can hold up to 16 items. It will initially contain two items: a stat-boosting Band and a colored bow.
  17. 17
    You will receive your team badge, which updates based on missions completed.
  18. 18
    You will receive the Wonder Map, which shows explored areas.

    Chatot will show you to your room in the guild.
  20. 20
    Your partner will discuss the day's events.
  21. 21
    Loudred will wake you up for an assembly.
  22. 22
    After Wigglytuff's speech and the guild motto, Chatot will direct you to the Job Boards.
  23. 23
    Chatot will explain mystery dungeons, where floor layouts change and fainting results in losing money (Poké) and items.
  24. 24
    Chatot will assign you a job: retrieving a Spoink's pearl.
  25. 25
    You will enter Drenched Bluff, a dungeon with 6 floors (bottom floor is 7F).
  26. 26
    Dominant types in Drenched Bluff are various, with 50% being part Rock-type.
  27. 27
    You will encounter throwing items like Geo Pebbles, which deal 10 damage. Using L+R can activate a shortcut for them.
  28. 28
    Using a move on an enemy grants extra EXP; killing with a thrown item only yields 50% of the EXP.
  29. 29
    Avoid using Water-type moves against Shellos, as its Storm Drain ability negates Water-type move damage.
  30. 30
    Shellos is weak to Electric and Grass moves and strong against Fire-types.
  31. 31
    Other Pokémon encountered include Anorith, Lileep, and Chingling.
  32. 32
    Anorith is Rock-type, weak to Water and Grass moves, and strong against Fire and Normal moves.
  33. 33
    Lileep is Grass-Rock type, weak to Fire moves, and resistant to Water/Grass moves. Electric/Normal moves do half damage against Lileep.
  34. 34
    Chingling is not a significant threat, but beware of its Wrap move.
  35. 35
    Upon reaching the final floor (7F) of Drenched Bluff, you will pick up Spoink's pearl.
  36. 36
    You will automatically return to the guild.
  37. 37
    Spoink will be very happy, and you will receive a reward.
