Alcyone

Opening of the battle against an Alcyone in the Monster Arena Calm Lands

HP: 430

The Alcyone is a Bird-type enemy that you can find in Bikanel. You need to capture five of each Bird-type enemy to unlock Pteryx in the Species Conquest section of the Monster Arena.

Alcyone can be defeated easily by using Wakka’s Blitzball to attack them. Alternatively, though not as effective, Lulu can use her Magic-based attacks on them (specifically, Fire or Fira). They can hit your characters with the Darkness status effect, though, when they attack, so take them out as quickly as possible.

Ability Description
Sensor “Aerial. Magic attacks are the way to go. Watch out for Darkness.”
Scan “Aerial and hard to hit. Magic attacks are effective. It’s vulnerable to fire, so use Fira to achieve Overkill. Attacks may inflict darkness.”

Steal:
Smoke Bomb (common)
Smoke Bomb (x2) (rare)

Drops:
Speed Sphere and Al Bhed Potion

Location

You can find them anywhere on Bikanel Island.
