Boltmane Storm overview

Boltmane Storm is a legendary grass Pal known for its photosynthesis ability. Frequently sighted in the Sulfur Highlands. It appears most reliably around the Sulfur Highlands. In combat it deals Grass-type damage and slots into a party as a legendary-tier Grass unit.

How to catch

Boltmane Storm has a base capture rate of 3 out of 100. Weaken it below 30% HP and use a Legendary or Ultra Sphere from behind for the best odds.
