Exploration NPCs are only available during a specific task for their respective Explorations. They must be defeated to complete the task and continue with the Exploration, and so do not have a cooldown time so that users can attempt the battle again immediately rather than be forced to wait.
This article contains old or outdated information, or has not been updated in a while. Please check the content of this article and update it as required.
Specifically, it needs more research on the teams and moves.
