You’ve mastered the basics. You can consistently reach the later floors of Pokerogue and Pokerogue Dex , but you're hitting a wall. To ascend to the highest levels of play and tackle the endless modes, you need to think beyond just type advantages. You need to master the metagame.
This means diving deep into abilities, items, and egg groups. It’s about creating synergy. For example, pairing a Pokémon with the Drizzle ability (which summons rain) with one that has the Swift Swim ability (doubling its speed in rain) can create an unstoppable sweeper. Understanding how to use held items like Choice Specs or Focus Sash can turn a tough battle into a decisive victory.
This is where the PokéRogue Dex shines for advanced players. Use it to hunt for specific, game-breaking combinations. Search for Pokémon that can learn a specific set of moves to counter a difficult boss. Plan your breeding path by filtering by egg groups to pass down powerful "Egg Moves" to your future team members. The Dex allows you to see the hidden potential in every Pokémon, transforming your approach from simply catching strong Pokémon to architecting an unbeatable team from the ground up. Stop playing checkers and start playing chess—the deepest layers of PokéRogue await.
