Badge Dojo · Lightning 3-9

This is one of the stages where luck plays a visible part, and it may take several attempts even with the right team. Lineup 1 puts Voltling at the front of lane 1 with Cheerlet behind it, Nimbuzzy alone in row 2 of the middle, and Blitzmane at the head of lane 3 with Sparkdoe behind it.

The layout is the one from 3-7 turned around, and this time Voltling is the unit to understand. It is the evolved form of Voltkit, and it strikes from the shadows with an area attack that paralyses. At the head of lane 1, with Cheerlet directly behind to heal it, Voltling is the sturdiest front of the board. Its paralysis keeps groups from hitting back while Nimbuzzy's clouds drift over the open middle.

Every unit stands in row 1 or 2, so the board is compact. Cheerlet reaches Voltling and Nimbuzzy, and Blitzmane's boost reaches Sparkdoe and Nimbuzzy.

If you lose narrowly, retry before changing anything; the swing between runs is large here. If losses keep starting on the right, the issue is Blitzmane.

In one alternative, Blitzmane moves to the middle front, Voltling to lane 3 with Zapooch behind it, and Sparkdoe to row 3 of the middle. Another alternative puts Surgehoof in row 4 of lane 3.
