Gloomtail is much stronger than his sister. He attacks by breathing poison on Mario and his partner and stomping and chomping the character in front. His Earthquake can hit Team Mario hard, but that attack doesn't work on [[Vivian]] and [[Flurrie]]. He can also [[Charged|charge up]] for his signature and strongest attack: his famous Megabreath move, which does up to 16 damage, so it is recommended to use Vivian to hide the party, or [[Boo's Sheet]]s to avoid a load of damage.
