The Navi Squad is Team Star’s Poison branch. Its boss, Atticus, thinks he is a ninja and speaks in haikus. He is also Team Star’s stylist: the other bosses’ outfits are his work.

Finding the base

The base is hidden deep in Tagtree Thicket, a forest whose trees are covered in paintings, between Zapapico, Glaseado Mountain and East Province (Area Two). The doors are shut: a student, Chester, is desperately trying to get in to meet his idol, “Atticus-sensei”. He challenges you to defend him.

Atticus arrives on the Navi Starmobile.

For the Star Barrage, put three well-leveled Ground or Psychic Pokémon at the front of your team. Watch out: Poison-type Pokémon can poison yours during the barrage.

Automatic calculation based on the team above: number of Pokémon hit super effectively (the Pokémon that Terastallizes is counted with its Tera type, immunity Abilities included).

Ground is the ultimate weapon: it hits all four Pokémon super effectively, and even ×4 against the Steel/Poison Revavroom. Steel Pokémon, meanwhile, are immune to Poison. The details:

  • Skuntank (Poison/Dark) is only weak to Ground. It is immune to Psychic.
  • Muk uses Sludge Wave and Mud-Slap, a Ground move that lowers your accuracy.
  • The first Revavroom (Steel/Poison) has the Overcoat Ability, which protects it from weather damage and powder-based moves.
  • The Navi Starmobile has the Toxic Debris Ability: when hit by a physical attack, it scatters Toxic Spikes that poison your Pokémon when they enter the battle. Favor special attacks.
