As you should with any tyrant fight, stock up with about five ethers and five potions. Nivalis will typically respond with Slash, which will do about 7 to 12 damage. Scaratic unlocks the almighty Super Punch after doing so, and it’s a move that does about 15 damage to Nivalis, while only sacrificing 10 stamina.

Next, you’ll want to get them to level 12 – especially Scaratic. We think catching both will phenomenally increase your chances of beating the tyrant – as one won’t get the job done.

There’s not a lot of electric-types to catch in the beginning, but if you head to the patch of grass near the southside of Parum you’ll find a Scaratic and Chirrent in the wild. It’s mainly because Nivalis is a high-level water-type that is primarily affected by electric attacks.

It must be said it’s a waste of time to simply go in and fight just to see if your underpowered monsters will win. Although you might be eager to simply bash the crab repeatedly to see the next cutscene, there are only a few effective ways to beat Nivalis. Its inclusion is a part of advancing the plot when guiding Videll through the caves. The red-eyed, giant white crab is the first tyrant boss battle in the game, which can be started when reaching the end of the Frozen Caverns – a location south of Parum. As a first test, Nivalis is a brutal realization that you cannot rush the process of being a great tamer.
