Ok, so I've been looking all over the place and I can't figure out where to go after the fourth stadium? I am not sure where I am supposed to head.
On the other hand, I found this one area, called something swamp, with a bunch of little walls to move around, but a few good items. There was a treasure chest key in there too.

Sweepers are the terms for already speedy attackers. Generlaly one wants to max out the speed stat to always assure you go first. Granted, walls will generally ruin your day since they can take the hit, and if they're the attac kind, smash your face in through your non-existant defense. Admittedly, the first few bosses in the game would make it ill advised to go with a full team of sweepers since I thought you can take the boss out in one turn. However, as I discoverred, there are bosses that aren't bulky as hell, and usually a barrier-setting mon can help shore up that weakness.

For people giving up on Impanzee, my crystal ball AKA 5 Levelup Herbs tells me she's going to transform pretty soon, just shy of level 40. Gets some good stat boosts, and upon transforming she learns a 110 power, 100% accurate fighting move that lowers your own defenses, much like Close Combat.
My starter's also reached final form, and he's still pure Flame type. He's quick with good magic attack though, and just learned Torch and has Manatize, so he's got a solid formula going on right now. He also got a move that puts me in mind of Body Slam, decent standard power with chance to paralyze.
Plumirage just learned Nature Smash, which is a stronger physical grass move than Berserk Branch.

I just beat the Desert Dragon. Once I figured out what the gimic is, I found it pretty easy. Definitely the easiest hyper boss so far, well other than that first one in the Power Plant. I guess it kinda helped that I have 2 Air types, though.

Is it morbidly bad considering the teams and levels people are posting, that the game does an appropriate job at punishing players relying on 1-2 creatures, and that I'm happy about this? Honestly that type of mindset of just bulldozing through the game with just one creature was one thing I hated about the POkemon games. The games weren't difficult enough to properly punish that until you starrted doing end game stuff, where that tactic is now impossible to do. And then people just struggle hard getting an entire team together rather than 1 strong creature and having the mindset for it.

I mean I struggled a lot as my team actually wasn't the best for handling the ghost boss (between the 2 manamon that instantly died to staff slash/eclipse rocket/elemental fury and the fact not all my manamon had a stab attack to use for their type yet (I'm looking at You Groler and bombasect)) I still manage to push through the fight with an lv 20-22 team?

  An easy way to handle that fight is to either:

  .Have a manamon out with a type that other manamon you have can use. The obvious one that comes to mind is having a standard type and the rest using standard attacks like pounce, headbutt etc. Not the highest damage, but if you can't do the next thing, better than doing nothing

  -buffing/debuffing: He's only immune to damage, not stat drops. Though stat drops are limited to only 1 stage on bosses, it'll make a difference on outgoing/incoming damage if you hit it. As well, if you can't do anything, go use a mana boost/call to arms/whatever to make sure when you're turn comes up, you'll smash him hard.

  -Set team defenses: If you have anyone who can use Divine barrier/shield, have them always set it to avoid taking in so much damage.

   -Don't bring a ghost type:  Oh lord, my poor torch. he's not friendly to ghosts or anything weak to shadow/undead/ghost attacks.

   There, now for one's second try, that can probably get through the boss in far less time and herbs compared to before.

Quick item tip...
In Vermicaw city, just a few steps north of the gate leading south to the valley is a hidden premium meganet.

Spoilers:

@Jaide, Yes, that's what I mean. Impanzee transforms twice. and yeah, I was half expecting my starter to become part magic type because of Manatize, but nope. To be fair, learning Manatize doesn't have to mean being Magic type.

At 139:  Didn't someone post on that purchase thread that you were one of the 5 posters that they'd buy a copy of manamon 2 for?

Would anyone happen to have some tips on finding a few level up herbs anywhere? I want to be able to look up some future moves... but I haven't found a single one yet.

So guys, I was just going to write a post about the master in shadow canyon, but it appears everyone has said what I was planning to say. In brief, don't bring undead ghost types, he hates them and takes them out first always, and also  bring a decent team with alot of defense that can soak up damage.  I did it with only my gowaiter and terrubble left alive.
I was actually preparing a recording, and recorded it all, but my microphone/speaker wasn't set correctly, so my pc ended up recording microphone instead of speaker output. also lost the file.
I am planning to do a recording series like I did before, to help players once I get through the game. It will at least be boss and stadium fights. Jayde what do you think of this? I plan to also use a recommended list of manamon, or ones that I know will be good and pull their weight.
But meanwhile, when I'm still figuring this shit out,  would anyone want any particular recordings of me figuring out things?

Jayde, I'd love to be able to powerlevel manamon like you seem to do. lol But I'm taking my time through the game, so I haven't gotten too far yet. So far I'm running Grekko/flarebra/rucroom/zapistan/frolop/owlaw. I need to just pick one of those two plants, but neither's really selling me on it yet. Limewurm looked to have some nice starting coverage when caught with stone, dragon and standard... but I haven't leveled it up yet. Frolop's got retribution which is neat, but I don't like the fact that it requires you to actually take hits, so maybe I'll swap that out for the dragon?

hi guys.
So I have a question:
I currently have 2 plant types on my team. One of them is the starter, and the other is rucroom that you get from the first area.
I'm probably going to get rid of one in the future and swap it out for a different manamon, but I can't decide which one to get rid of yet. Which plant type is better out of those 2?
