Players can use the Strobulb without charging it, or hold the {{button|3ds|a}} button for approximately one second to release a stronger flash. Not fully charging the Strobulb results in a flash of equal size to one that is not charged at all. A fully charged flash allows the player to stun multiple ghosts at once than an ordinary flash. Some ghosts have objects to shield them from being flashed; these objects must be removed with the [[Poltergust 5000]] before the flashlight or Strobulb is used. When charging the Strobulb, the actual light coming from the flashlight decreases as it starts charging, and while it is fully charged, a small circle is seen at the source. Unleashing it creates a powerful beam of light, with small light particles at the end of the flash. | ||
