The Pop Fry is an enemy from Final Fantasy X-2. It reuses the model of the Oblitzerator boss from Final Fantasy X.
Stats[]
Battle[]
The Pop Fry is not a very dangerous enemy, and can be dispatched of relatively quickly with normal and Water-based attacks such as Water and Liquid Steel. However, it will retaliate with Triple Play! when hit with any Water-elemental spell, which hits random characters 10 times and erases 3/16 of maximum HP with each hit.
Its rare drop and rare steal, the Petrify Grenade, is extremely useful for captured creatures as 10 units of this item can be consumed to teach the extremely powerful ability Hurt.
Creature Creator[]
Pop Fry is available for capture in Chapter 3 with a Trap pod L placed in Bikanel. It comes into the party already having learned Ailment Def. and Total Limit Break. Note that it will become unavailable for capture once the player discovers the Cactuar Hollow in Chapter 5.
Etymology[]
Being akin to a pitching machine, this machina, like the Oblitzerator before it, makes references to sports including baseball.
- Pop Fry is an alternate reading of and/or a pun on a "pop fly", a baseball hit straight up and down that is typically easily caught by a defender.
- A "benchwarmer" is a player not often called upon to play, ergo often seen sitting in a locker room/dugout.
- A "triple play" occurs when the defending team is able to record all three of its outs in a single play.
- A "night game" is a match played during evening hours.
