Appearance

History
Yaridovich was first seen posing as the Elder of Seaside Town and tricks Mario into getting the Star Piece found in the Sea. Yaridovich, along with his clones, force Mario into giving up the Star Piece and they attempt to get away. However, Yaridovich doesn't see the Axem Rangers with the Blade so he decided to swim away even though he might rust. However, he was stopped by Jonathan Jones who tells him that Mario earned the Star Piece fair and square. Trapped, Yaridovich has no choice but to fight Mario and his team in battle. After he was defeated, Yaridovich disappears and Mario earns another Star Piece.

Battle
Yaridovich has many attacks at his disposial. First, he will usually create a clone which Mario and his team must figure out what to hit. Yaridovich also has the deadly Water Blast move which can cause major damage to all of Mario's team.

Tips
Yaridovich, due to being completely made of metal, has a big weakness to Thunder based attacks. Mallow and his Thunderbolt move should be used in this battle. There is three ways to tell which is the clone and which is the real Yaridovich. The clone has much lower defense than Yaridovich so one will know if they deal more damage to one. The other way involves Mallow and his Psychopath move. The clone always have 500 HP and even his message "I'm not the real Mccoy!" gives him away.
