Lunar New Year Event (duo run):

In the event, you get points for every specie of mon you defeat, so it is important to try and get all the
different mons in a wave

A boss Nian, dark type, will appear every 6 waves. Its gimmick is that when hit, it cannot be hit again
before it uses a move itself.

Throughout the run, make sure that before every boss fight the link captain sells all unnecessary items.
Some of the useful items are: life orb, 1 air balloon, expert belt and black belt (for boss fights). And max
buys evolution charms.

Following is the rundown of every Mon for every wave. Do note that mons in bold are a must defeat as
they will be crucial for the run or they will be used as healers .Mons with a * means that they should be
strengthened using a strength charm.
