Stage teams 5-60

Lane 3 is where 5-60 stacks its buffs. Sparkeet at the front takes reduced damage and charges up the allies around it with an attack boost, Cheerling right behind adds healing plus its own attack and defence boost, and Fluffle at the back throws its lightning clouds with both bonuses running. On 5-50 that lane was led by Electroar; here Sparkeet takes over.

Lane 4 serves as the long one. Ashlarva leads it with a flame ring that heals as it burns, which matters because Zapooch, Cavyzap and Frostique are all hitters lined up behind it. Frostique is the hardest of them to replace: its ice block slows the target and breaks into piercing shards, softening the whole queue for Cavyzap's electric cage.

Gopher in lane 2 needs Rubblet in front of it. It lobs mud balls, but once enemies get right up to it, it stops and burrows for damage reduction, so something has to keep them off. One clear used Rockhog there instead, along with Momopo in place of Sealing in lane 1.

In lane 5, Funglet's spores nick Waddledo and Tindercub for a little HP but boost their attack and speed, which suits a penguin that needs to survive until its shield bursts.
