◉ Create a balanced team

First things first. There are a lot of Nexomons out there but it's essential that you build your team correctly. Your journey will be easier if you catch and train different type of Nexomons. Training the same type or two types won't get you anywhere. There are 7 types in total: Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Earth, Electric and Wind. Each type is effective against other types.

🔴 FIRE is effective against: 🟢 GRASS /// 🟣 WIND

🔵 WATER is effective against: 🔴 FIRE /// 🟤 EARTH

🟢 GRASS is effective against: 🔵 WATER /// 🟡 ELECTRIC

🟤 EARTH is effective against: 🔴 FIRE /// 🟡 ELECTRIC

🟡 ELECTRIC is effective against: 🔵 WATER /// 🟣 WIND

🟣 WIND is effective against: 🟢 GRASS /// 🟤 EARTH

⚪ NORMAL is NEUTRAL

◉ Tiers and Stats

- The Nexomons are also classified in 6 Tiers:

🔶 COMMON: basic Nexomons with low stats. They can't evolve

🔶 UNCOMMON: their stats are balanced and they have one evolution

🔶 RARE: they have high stats and they can evolve two times

🔶 MEGA RARE: higher stats than the Rare Nexomons. Two evolutions

🔶 ESPECIAL: balanced Nexomons (starters) with two evolutions

🔶 LETENDARY: unique Nexomons with good stats and strong movesets

- There are 5 stats in Nexomon:

❤️ HITPOINTS: This means how much damage your Nexomon can take before fainting

🔋 STAMINA: used for the skills. All Nexomons start with 100. High Tiers have more stamina

💪 ATTACK: the amount of damage your Nexomon will deal (depends on the skills used)

🛡️ DEFENSE: your Nexomons resistance. The higher, less damage they will receive

🦅 EVASION: higher the stat, better the chances of avoiding attacks

❗ Important: ATTACK and EVASION are the best stats in the game. The point is to deal a lot of damage and also avoid it. There is a lot of RNG (random number generated) involved in Nexomon, so don't expect to have a Nexomon with high Speed / Evasion and dodging every hit. Your Nexomon will dodge a lot if that stat is high but not all the time. Keep that in mind

◉ Select a balanced moveset

Your Nexomons can learn a lot of moves. A move with high damage, means more Stamina. Choosing a moveset with only strong moves can be a bad idea for long fights. Choose between basic, strong and status moves. As example, the attack Bite uses 5 Stamina. This move is perfect for finishing off Nexomons with low HP (red). You would not like to waste a move that uses 15 or 20 of stamina on a Nexomon with 5 HP left, right?. Also, it's highly recommended to use movements that can STUN, CONFUSE, BUFF DAMAGE, BUFF EVASION and create WALLS (all these moves are called status moves). These moves are my favorite and gives you a lot of advantage in a fight. It also saves you a lot of potions and time (like going back and forth to the Nexomon Center). Here is an EXAMPLE of a good moveset:

❗ Important: This moveset is intended to be used against trainers or long fights!

❗ Important: Every moveset MUST have a NORMAL type move. Normal moves are neutral

- Moveset example:

🔶 SPINNING ATTACK ➞ Normal move. Deal damage and confuses

🔶 EARTH STRIKE ➞ Deals a lot of Earth Damage

🔶 STONE WALL ➞ When hit, you will only lose 1 HP

🔶 FURY MINERAL ➞ Increase your damage

➊ So, the strategy of this moveset is to confuse the other Nexomon by using the Spinning Attack (the Nexomon will hit himself during the next 3 / 4 turns). During those turns, you can buff your actual Nexomon with Stone Wall and Fury Mineral. After buffing your Nexomon, you can defeat the other Nexomon easily (if he's still confused). After that, the trainer / boss will send the next Nexomon (when you defeat a trainer's Nexomon, the next Nexomon will attack first). No worries, the Stone Wall will block the attack and you will only receive 1 Damage. Now is your turn to strike back. As you can see, you defeated a Nexomon without receiving damage (well, 1 HP) and fighting with the next one.

💡 Note: Some Nexomons can learn moves that are not related to their type. These are known as COVERAGE MOVES. These moves help to defend your Nexomon against the type they are weak without needing to swap to another Nexomon and losing a turn. As example, Drash (Fire type Nexomon) have a Wind move. Drash is weak against Earth and Water so that Wind move can deal with Earth Nexomons. Another great example is Weabride (Wind type Nexomon). This Nexomon have a Grass move that helps to defend against Electric types. Unfortunately, not every Nexomon can learn coverage moves.

◉ How to use the NexoTraps wisely

There are only two types of NexoTraps in Nexomon: Normal NexoTraps and Golden NexoTraps:

🔶 NORMAL NEXOTRAPS: Used for catch Common, Uncommon and Rare Nexomons

- Well, they can catch all type of Nexomons but they have a chance to fail (sometimes a lot)
- For a better chance to catch a Nexomon, you will need to lower its health first
- Mega Rare and Legendary Nexomons are hard to catch with normal NexoTraps.
- You can buy them in the shop for a cheap price (250 Gold)

🔶 GOLDEN NEXOTRAPS: Used for catch Mega Rare and Legendary Nexomons

- These NexoTraps never fail. Can catch any Nexomon instantly
- If you don't want to lose time, the Golden NexoTraps are there for that purpose
- You can't buy them (but you can find them). Save them for especial Nexomons

@Hahli
The first Nexomon is unbalanced. They fixed that in Extinction. Never used Common Nexomons in the first game, only Uncommon and Rare since is more than enough for complete the game. If you use a team of Mega Rares only is a game over for the game and an easy win for you. My team consisted of two or three Uncommon Nexomons, two Rare and one Mega Rare. That way I made the game a little more harder. Thanks god they fixed that in the second part, letting you choose the Nexomons you want, not important the rarety
