Boss battle: Moltres
On the third floor, you encounter Moltres for the first time and after defeating him, he will allow you to pass. Water-type is best against him. Level 20 and up is a good Level to be in while being in the 3 boss battles. Moltres resists Fighting, Fire, Grass, Ground, Bug, and Steel and is weak to Water, Rock, and Electric.
Moltres is the easiest to recruit,however it is best to bring a friend bow just in case. Remember, you need to deal the finishing blow to have a chance of recruiting him.
