Notes
- Guard Dog is a Fire-type Physical attacker with high 103 Physical Attack base stat and above-average 96 Speed. Ability 'Focus' provides +100% Physical Attack on first turn after entry, suitable for fast attack playstyle.
- Skill pool focuses on Physical damage, with Burn status, buffing, counter-switching and other mechanics, but lacks sustain and defense means. Survival awareness required.
- Core strategy revolves around three directions: first-turn burst, Burn suppression, and buff-powered finishing.
