  • War room 🐐 Quick note on resetting npc teams: if you are offline and select the group option it gives you different npcs. Catch: it won’t let you run away in the group session. Either take the ko or restart. Next time you solo it should be the same team. Did this for mewtwo raids.

  • I want to thank you for all of your work and effort that goes into your videos. All of the ones I've watched have been immensely helpful and I often come back to your videos whenever I need a reminder about a specific mechanic in games or for example the video containing the trade codes between Pokemon. I almost never leave a KZhead comment because I'm just awkward and get anxiety even just typing. I do not have the DLC yet so the Raids are the only way for me to get those Pokemon currently. Even though it's possible to trade with someone who has the DLC, I wouldn't have anything to offer that they don't have yet and I feel like a burden asking someone I don't know for something for free. So if it is possible I would like to ask for you to continue making videos for the raids in the future, but if for any reason you want to stop, then I completely understand. Sorry for the long message, and I want to apologise for copying this from under your Patch Notes video as well, I just want to give myself a bigger chance to be heard.

Make sure there are no intimidates on team. Turn 1 Sunny Day Turn 2 Bitter blade Turn 3 Swords Dance Turn 4 Swords dance if empoleon is Paralyzed. If not bitter blade I ended terastalizing turn 5/6 for the extra boost often alternating between swords dance and bitter blade. Make sure to keep the sunny day up. Then when the iron defense comea down use Clear smog to eliminate it.

  • If you have a team of four players, we figured out a good strategy based on Skeledurge. Skeledurge as suggested Belibolt with Static ability, Mud-slap, Charge and Thunderwave moves. (To focus on keeping paralyzed and lowers accuracy only after the ability swap.) Tinkaton with Own Tempo, light screen, reflect, skill swap and flash cannon (first move is the skill swap, makes it much easier) Koraidon with drain punch and Sunny Day holding a heat rock (to focus on the Sun) tera type fighting. We focused on HP, Sp Def and Atk Got it first try, and nobody even fainted. Thanks as always for the great strategy tips!

Moves: Belly Drum, Drain Punch, Tera Blast (steel), and Amnesia with the item shell bell and the ability water absorb Stats: Adamant nature with 252 attack, 252 special defense and 4 speed. Guarantees survival after a belly drum with the 252 special defense when grass knot is used. Or start with Amnesia and then belly drum when you tera into the steel type Plus it resists three moves and gains immunity to water.

Then spam Mystical Fire, lowering Empoleon's Sp Atk and charging Tera until you get KO'ed. Then Tera, SD, and spam Sacred Sword. Could use Drain Punch, but Sacred Sword bypasses Iron Defense, and Empoleon won't deal enough damage to really hurt you.

I ran it with sunny day, light screen, thunder wave and helping hand. you can also do heal pulse. with full hp and sp def evs set and leftovers. the idea is that while everyone else is attacking your taking out his snow, weakening his attacks and paralyzing him and depending on which set you go with you can use heal pulse to heal teammates or helping hand to increase damage. galarian slowbro is surprisingly versatile as a support almost as much as umbreon.

Use skill swap turn 1, defense cheer turn 2, and heal cheer when your teammates get low if they aren't using drain punch or after they belly drum. You can also strength sap an iron hands to get back to up full hp without it affecting the raid at all. I also have a cloyster for multi hits in case someone in the lobby is using a sinistea, but something that can set screens like blissey would work well too to keep everyone alive

Did get frozen by the very first blizzard. I thought welp this attempt is a failure, but used the heal up cheer and kept at it. Did end up getting knocked out once but had not much of a difficulty in beating it on the first try. Blaze might have been a better ability for the skeledirge actually since the empoleon doesn't really boosts itself in any meaningful way and the boost to fire moves would have been really helpful

Lvl 100 ofc, EVs maxed on HP and SpDef, last few on spd. Item: Light Clay, Skillset: Light Shield, Sunny Day against the water move Surf and the heightened defense with snowscape, life dew to heal (PP maxed) and the 4th move is optional. Hope this helps some of you when you do raids together.

  • Grumpig with Simple Beam is huge. Easy to solo with it, and it is great as a support unit with others! Still need to reset if you have AI partners with Intimidate. Also, you do NOT need to change the date to get new ones! I just close out the game and reboot it to get them.

  • I was rummaging trough my boxes for a good counter (don't have a good Skeledirge) then saw Poliwrath and went like "Minecraft Villager Noise" I tried it like this: Rain dance belly drum amnesia drain punch 252 atk 252 SpDef 4Hp Tera fight and it worked on the 2nd try (first try i got crit/frozen and went NAH IM OUT), just try to tera fight asap so grass knot does less

    • Pretty sure they’ll never expand the in-game storage, they want you to use Home. Which is cheaper than one trip to Starbucks every other month, so I’m ok with that.

    • I already cleared it with a volcarona but saw this and it seemed fun. Gotta say it's the best strat I've seen by a mile. Makes it easy despite not being particularly fast. Just have to have water absorb as an ability and you've got this penguin in hell.

  • I soloed Empoleon in both versions with good ol' faithful Iron Hands :) My build for Hands: Tera Type: Fighting/Held item: Covert Cloak (Because Ice Beam and Blizzard have a good chance of freezing you and you don't really need a recovery held item because you will be healing with Drain Punch)/252 HP-252 SpDef-4 Atk/Nature: Adamant. You don't really need a defense boosting nature as Hands has a decent special defensive bulk and will have more due to EV training in that stat./Moves: Drain Punch, Electric Terrain, Focus Energy, Swords Dance. It is vitally important with this build to set up Focus Energy as the crits will maximize the damage Hands deals in addition to giving you fantastic healing from Drain Punch. Swords Dance periodically while you are above 50% health, it's risky to try and Dance at low HP as Empoleon can potentially score crits. Electric Terrain is a great early game setup to give you an attack boost. Don't try to set up Dances in the early going because the raid boss will just wipe them clean. Good luck and happy hunting, trainers :)

  • because he doesnt start shielded, he is vulnerable to ability changing moves. Worry Seed, Simple Beam, Gastro Acid, etc. Did this in a group of 3, swalot for gastro acid and acid spray, weather ball for fire damage after another attacker put up sun (sunny day walking wake) we wore him down quickly enough. Slowbro/slowking with light screen and flamethrower definitely helpful too

  • Caught my first Mightiest Mark...and on one of my absolute favorite Pokemon, no less. Took two tries. First try, one of the NPCs had an Intimidate Tauros (which wouldn't have been a dealbreaker on its own) and Skeledirge got frozen turn zero. Second try went beautifully, though I was worried I'd run out of time because I was paranoid about keeping Sunny Day up.

  • I did mine with tera fire Volcanion first try. It has water absorb and take 1/4 ice damage before tera. So he basically tickles you with grass knot and icebeam. Just tried it for fun since i had a Volcanion from a SwSh distribution Held Item: Shell Bell. 252 HP, 252 spA, 4 spD... Moves: Flamethrower, Weather Ball, Sunny Day, Haze Just keep up sun and spam weather ball or flamethrower. Heal cheer if needed. I did 1 heal cheer for safety in the double attack portion of the fight. Paralysis is nice for this strat too.

  • For the blaziken raid, i used a support Malamar build with Skill swap, light screen, swagger, and thunderbolt. I skill swapped contrary to him and they still use their stat boosters even while having contrary which further weaken them. Sounds like it might still be a good strategy to use here. Except i might consider swapping thunderbolt to superpower.

  • i went with online for this one. used skeleldirge with helping hand along with torch song. HH just in case i need to be a support role. and which i did, someone entered with another skel, iron hands and a mew. i ended up just doing either helping hands on iron hands and heal cheer, mew was doing a life dew too. the other skel just doing a torch song. it was done fast.

Able to do it with ease.

  • Just in case anyone needs it, I actually farmed Empoleon with just Iron Hands and Umbreon a few times. Umbreon: Calm nature Holding Leftovers HP 252 Def 4 Sp Def 252 Skill Swap Sunny Day Snarl Helping Hand Iron Hands: Belly Drum Electric Terrain Drain Punch Close combat Holding Booster Energy Adamant nature Attack 172 Special Defense 252 Speed 84 Turn one: Skill Swap, Belly Drum Turn two: Sunny Day, Drain Punch Turn 3: Health cheer w/Umbreon (if needed) or Snarl. Drain Punch Turn 4: Helping Hand, Drain Punch Turn 5: Snarl, Drain Punch Turn 6: Snarl, Drain Punch After turn 6 we would just have Umbreon keep using health cheer as needed and helping hand while Iron Hands uses Drain Punch. Even if we got an NPC with intimidate, by using this build we were able to save the run most of the times.

  • I finally caught it. I used my Arceus from Legends Arceus. It’s was already level 100 since I used it in Legends Arceus a lot. I’d transfer it to Violet, taught it Sunny Day and Tera Blast, and kept Judgement and Recover. I also gave it an Iron Plate and changed its Tera type from Normal to Stellar.
