August 8, 201213 yr I beat Hockomonkey at around lvl 52, and he was still a little difficult, so I would recomend maybe 56. Also, I would recommend using two slots for Curagas and short cutting one of them so you can access it quickly. Prism Windmill, Balloongas, and Shadowbreaker were all very helpful for me. Second Chance is always a thing, as is Once More and Magic and Attack Haste. Use Spirits that have alot of HP Boosts. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I'm sure you have some. Hope I helped
