How to unlock Ekans
To add it to your League, complete its challenge — paralyze 2,500 pokémon — then weaken and catch it when it appears in your next run.
- Paralyze 2,500 Pokémon.
Goal: 2,500 - Catch it in your next run.
After the challenge is complete, Ekans appears in a run. Weaken it and catch it — it only joins your League once it is caught.
"In a single run" goals must be met in one run; the others add up across all your runs. League-size goals count the partners you have caught.
Ekans's moves
These are the four moves listed in Ekans's League kit. You start a run with the first one; the other three are among the moves level-up cards can offer (partners can also be offered moves from their evolution line and from your League — see level-up cards).
| Move | Type | Category | Base power* | Style |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wrap · starting move | Normal | Physical | 15 | Spin |
| Acid | Poison | Special | 40 | Cone |
| Sludge Bomb | Poison | Special | 90 | Lobbed |
| Gunk Shot | Poison | Physical | 120 | Meteor |
* Base power is the main-series value the game starts from; in a run, damage scales with level, upgrades and vitamins. See level-up cards.
