    Soloing Zoraal Ja's Pikachu as PUP

    Well, since the bird is sleepable I tried to do this as PUP/SCH. I gave up on the 4th try. Bird resisted sleep every single time. I've manage to solo one or the other but I just can't handle both of these at the same time

    If anyone manages to solo this on PUP, please post some details. The best I can do is duo with RDM, but I could probably do it with a bard, too.

    This should be moved to newbie section. But I will post my experiences:

    I have soloed this many times as pld/rdm, with ease. But thats not what you wanted to know! For pup, I would suggest pup/dnc, and harlequin frame with cannibal blade. But then again my knowledge of pup is limited, so that may be horrible advice

    I however, am curious. What was your PLD/RDM strat? Anything special, or the typical turtle strat making sure both mobs are facing you, and whittling a certain one down first?

    I have Aegis/Ares, so I may have a slight advantage over other plds, but I dont think much.

    Joytoy
    Aegis
    Kaiser head
    Parade gorget
    Ares Body
    Boxers mantle (shadow mantle is kinda lame if mob is hitting for 20 hp).
    warewolf/swift belt (usually go with warewolf)
    Homam hands/legs.
    Homam feet or Af+1(really just depends on my block rate)
    Jelly Ring
    Acc ring
    Ethereal
    Loq. earring at full, hp earring when not to help activate parade gorget.

    Phalanx, SS, Blink, Shell, Protect, Enspell, Spikes, engage.

    Keep phalanx on yourself (dont worry about reapplying SS, its pointless and you get TP off the minor damage you take). Blocked hits do 0 damage, unblocked do minor amounts.

    Use TP at 100% as he will wipe it multiple times.

    Bio2 on both to reduce their attack, and then just widdle it down. The bird alone is cake, and when the mamool pops just focus on it for a bit.

    It all just comes down to ensuring your mp recovery rate equals the amount needed to cast cure4 when you get below X% hp.

    With ares/parade/autorefresh/sanction + chilvary It's cake. After mythic weapons are released ill try some harder stuff with excal or burtgang.

    I see. If Valor could solo tank the bird while we both try to kill mamool it could be possible to do it that way. It can be hard fighting the bird and relying on dancer though because of feather tickle.

    Hmmm, so it might be trickier since im missing the Aegis and Ares. Could definately take with with two though, good to know.

    Dont need ares/aegis, they just push the fight past the balance points.

    Just bring 2-3 yags and you basically replicate the mp management of ares/aegis.

    A friend of mine used to do this as thf/nin, and now he often do it as nin/dnc. While it was tricky with thf, it is complete cake with nin, very straitforward fight. But, this doesn't help you much about your pup pb ^^'

    It's easy really, just catch the bird in a pokeball.

    Just an FYI it's Zoraal Ja's Pkuucha.

    Pretty sure everyone understands it. People joke around because its obviously miss spelled pkuucha as a joke reference to pokemon.

    Could be because of the fact that it's because Ash's Pikachu always wondered around rather than staying in a pokeball basically what this pet does.

    Or that could just be an over analysis but in any case scenario it's generally agreed that the name is a joking reference to pokemon.
