Obalis will start with either Pyth or Spring out first:
Pyth (Beast)
Counterstrike, Poison Fang, Vicious FangHPPowerSpeed1500311311
While you might be tempted to use a Mechanical pet to dispatch Pyth quickly, his Poison Fang will get you in the end, you may instead find better mileage using a flying petSpring (Flying)
Cocoon Strike, Moth Dust, Slicing WindHPPowerSpeed1500280350 (525)
Use of a Dragon type pet with Magic based attacks, such as Nether Faerie Dragon will quickly dispatch this opponent.Clatter (Critter)
Apocalypse, Flank, HissHPPowerSpeed1657280311
His first move is generally Apocalypse and his only move of significant damage is Flank, as such a Humanoid with a Beast ability such as the Flayer Youngling is an excellent pick.

I tried the mentioned strats for An Awfully Big Adventure but got nowhere with them til I tried a combination of 2 of the strats.
I used
Iron Starlette (1,2,1)
Emerald Proto-Whelp (2,2,2)My Elekk Plushie just chilled in the back.
For Pyth I one shot it using Wind-Up, Supercharge, then Wind-Up again. Then just cast Toxic Smoke again because Spring is faster and my starlette died without touching Spring. I then bring out the Proto-Whelp. I kept up Emerald Presence and would use Emerald Dream with 50% health or lower and then just cast Emerald Bite since it hits Spring pretty hard. Proto-Whelp barely lost any health due to this strat and was able to stay alive and just Emerald Bite Clatter until the beetle died. Yes he will cast Apocalypse but even using Emerald Dream you will be able to kill him in time.
Good luck and happy hunting.
Lil' XT + Nether Faerie Dragon + Elekk Plushie works fine. I used Heartbroken > Tympanic Tantrum and that took out Pyth, leaving the other two at around half health. Then Nether Faerie Dragon came in with Moonfire followed by Arcane Blast while the Elekk Plushie just looked utterly adorable sitting in the background.
