Flash

Flash is a Mars Djinni found in Golden Sun, and is numerically the sixth Mars Djinni found.

Location
Flash is found in the last area of Suhalla Desert, where the Reveal Psynergy is required to reach it. It must be battled.

As an opponent
Flash has 592 HP, 52 PP, 253 Attack, 65 Defense, 151 Agility, and 17 Luck.

It can do a standard attack as well as cast Flare Storm, Fireball, Eruption, Fiery Blast, and Nova.

When defeated it yields 460 EXP and 445 coins.

Description
When Set, it increases base HP by 14, base PP by 3, and base Defense by 2.

When used, Flash decreases all damage done to all party members by 90% for that turn, and this effect is always cast first regardless of the user’s Agility.

Analysis
Flash is often labeled the best Djinni hands down, its effect making the party near invulnerable for that turn, and the fact that the Adept who uses Flash will automatically execute this effect as the first action this battle turn regardless of Agility. This Djinni is popular enough that even less powerful Djinn of the same effect, namely Granite and Shade, get a fair amount of use too.

Name Origin
A flash is a burst of bright light occurring for a short period of time, possibly why this Djinn was given an ability that always goes first.
