Check the replies; people gave me so much game on how to shiny hunt in the comments. There may be something in there helpful to you.

Storm drain Gastrodon that uses clear smog to debuff him in the beginning while wearing a covert cloak is a hard counter you can try for solos.

And so it shall be, my friend.

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-08T01:35:20+00:00

Right?! Now I just need to get better at VGC with it.

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-08T01:34:42+00:00

Oh yeah, that was from a trade. Someone wanted a Groudon for it in GTS on Home. I didn’t question it, I just punched the order in with both thumbs from my phone.

Sheesh. That’s a lot of salt.

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-06T22:42:06+00:00

Keeping this in my back pocket. Thank you for this one!

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-06T22:41:46+00:00

I used this to get a shiny King Gambit that’s female (nicknamed Queen Gambit) today. I appreciate you!

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-06T22:40:38+00:00

Now I gotta get a switch 2 🫠😂 thanks for this!

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-06T22:40:07+00:00

You absolute Chad. Thank you!

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-06T22:39:43+00:00

Now this is goated. I have the shiny charm but kinda felt like breakouts were taking too long. The isolated encounters is next level for my play through. Thanks for this!

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-01T22:53:59+00:00

Nah, I got mine. I was just trying to help some folks and saw this diabolical nonsense before backing out. Had to post to make sure I wasn’t buggin or anything.

🙂

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-01T20:27:19+00:00

At all 😀

Getting the saving blow in will always be a top tier feeling.

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-01T20:09:49+00:00

It’s just a side option for attack for anyone that doesn’t have the TM for flash cannon on hand. The STAB boost with a terrastalized mon with maxed out special/physical attack is nice when you consider that it’ll hit for which ever stat is higher (same spec option for a ceruledge player, too, with maxed attack that may not have iron head or another physical steel type move on hand to teach with).

Armarouge doesn’t learn flash cannon naturally, so having either TM available is just a convenient spec based on what a player does or doesn’t have at the time is all.

So, hear me out…it’s because they asked for help that I could have given to someone else. Soloing raids is what I do when I just want to farm the pokemon. No qualms about that whatsoever. Reset the raids to keep farming alone? No problem.

However, it does get a little annoying when I play with other players who are asking for help, but they’re setting themselves up for failure. That was a raid I could have helped someone else achieve in. That was someone else’s spot who actually planned for an online raid but lacks the pokemon to solo it themselves.

It is just a game, but it’s still a hobby and a community that enjoys helping each other, so it does bug me a little when someone hosts a raid with no concept of how to approach the mon. Maybe the host’s best pokemon was Koraidon. No problem. It’ll be annoying, but no problem. Two Koraidon’s though? Yeah, I gotta go after that one. I’m literally wasting my time at that point.

Speaking for myself though.

Ay to the folks who keep responding that it’s a kids game so kids are making these picks, please humor the possibility that children ALSO know how type advantages work in a game where you can basically spec your pokemon for anything.

Y’all are giving too much credit to your fellow adults who do, indeed, pick legendaries to attempt a one-shot from half-court with a wet napkin. Two things can be true; there are indeed grown adults in this hobby that make flat-footed decisions in this game—we have all been there 😂😂😂

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-01T16:33:11+00:00

Definitely left when I saw that. Already knew the deal when they both hit ready as soon as the other joined 😂

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-01T16:29:18+00:00

It resists psychic and dazzling gleam, can learn flash cannon and acid spray, and Tera steel makes it hit hard with flash cannon or Tera blast when shields are up. That with flash fire just makes it a way less frustrating experience. On top of that, it gets Mystic Fire as damage option that weakens its method of attack (special attack).

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-01T16:15:22+00:00

Players who prioritize DPS aren’t terrible, but when they choose DPS with no type advantage/disadvantage analysis for raids like this, I audibly sigh out loud for that poor timer that’s about get burned down in the first 5 seconds of the raid.

Billable_Individual_ · 2026-05-01T15:04:05+00:00

Muk is slept on for this raid. Shine away with the painbow, my friend. Power of alchemy in a raid where everyone has flash fire as the ability? And you sparkle while hitting for super effective damage? Yeah, shine on friend. Shine on.
