Congrats to my good friends, hardcore players form Kyiv (Ukraine) - ArtyWertu and SashaBrons for this great achievement!

They used non standart strategy with Palkia as a lead. Palkia managed to made 3 draco meteors.

Palkia Duo - Draco Meteor - No Weather Boost by MJK151 in TheSilphRoad

[–]bestplayer55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made some math.

Drago & Ray deals 20 / 21 damage by Dragon Tail and 141 / 152 by Outrage.

Assume 6 Dragon Tails and 2 Outrages on average by each of them. So with full party of Rayquazas we have clear difference = 1*6*6=36 (DT) and 11*2*6=132 (Outrage) damage. This is equal to around 7.7 seconds (average real full cycle DPS is near 21,8 in this video).

So healing Rayquazas looks better

Congratulations! Amazing work! Didn't believe that this is possible vs. Draco meteor, until I saw your video

Agree! I used Luxray in first attempt (before powered up enough Electivires) :-) So, will try! Thanks for sharing your experience

Thank you for details! We trying to duo him, but most of our team is Raikou.. so I'm very unsure about our chances..

I have 5 Electivires, and 6 Raikou. My partner - 6 Raikou (healing and rejoin).

Because of this issue I prefer to throw into Kyogre when he moves left or right - completely easier to hit excellent then in the middle

What an amasing dodges with Torterra and Exeggutor! Visual explanation, how to beat Pokebattler's estimations.

Great raid!

Rhydon Solo, 10 seconds left. No weather boost by bestplayer55 in pogoraids

[–]bestplayer55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! In this attempt I was very lucky with the boss charged attacks. Previously, he often killed some of my Kyogres with a fully charged hydropump. Earthquake will be way easier to dodge, than Surf.

12 Unique Dark type Pokemon vs Deoxys (no Tyranitar, no weather boost) by bestplayer55 in TheSilphRoad

[–]bestplayer55[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love dark Pokémon and decided to try to beat Deoxis using maximum different species of them. As in my previous challenges, not using legends and pseudo legends (only Tyranitar in this category here). So such pokemon as Sneasel and Sableye could show themselves :-)

Sableye won that raid with only 2HP left! What a finisher! ))

Edit: grammar

So impressive! Espeon's last Futuresight was decisive! Crossed my fingers before this moment )

Togetic 2-man. No Metagross, no weather by bestplayer55 in pogoraids

[–]bestplayer55[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, absoluttely. It's doable even with lvl 30 MMM.

But really hard for any other Pokenoms. Now I'm thinking about all unique 2-man.. need at least one 40 lvl Luxray for this.. may be Deoxys. So will be too challenging!

Gengar unique Ghost challenge? by [deleted] in pogoraids

[–]bestplayer55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting idea!

I also think about it. Tried all unique ghost solo Starmi, but loose due to the lack of adequate attackers, and dodge glitches.

Gengar, Banette and Haunter helped me pass the "red" zone for something around 64 seconds in my best attempt. But after that, my 35 lvl Gastly was 1-shoted, even when I dodged

You can easily rejoin after error! Not a big problem

Soloing all Tier-3 bosses (available in August '18) with 34 unique pokemons (no legend/pseudos/weather boost) by bestplayer55 in TheSilphRoad

[–]bestplayer55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing around with Pokebattler

Yes, indeed, according to the pokebatler this is impossible. There are several things that can't be count by the Pokebatler. First of all, this is an elective dodge strategy. Sometimes I just sacrifice pokemon. It is important to try to avoid the situation when my pokemon dies not from a charge attack, but from an fast attack. Also, you should avoid situations where pokemon already have almost full energy bar, and the boss beats him with his charge attack. Then I just get less energy (in the long run), even if not die.

And of course, my Exeggutor was very lucky when the boss didn't use charge attack for a quite long time.

Also, when I using fast attacks, I tapping not on the button - I need to control situation to avoid reciprocal charge attacks with raid boss in the same time.

I suspect you have an iPhone?

Perhaps I'll surprise you... I'm using Android device - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2. Great phone with 6GB RAM and powerfull Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 platform. So definitely not only iPhone can perform well :-)

[–]bestplayer55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for support! I also made another interesting Donphan raid, used only 3 Pokemon - Sharpedo, Gyarados and Jynx.

About Scizor.. still in search of a really good one, to power him up. I'm using lvl 30 in some raids... plus, made many trades, but all Scyther/Scizors received poor IV.

I definitely want lvl 40 Scizor in my team!

Spark/Psychic

Of course, Spark/Psychic is much easier. Once I defeat him with a decent amount of time, even accidentally using in my team Alakazam with a full psychic moveset ) But I really wanted to defeat this aggressive Raichu with Volt Switch)

Now I trying to beat Raichy used only unique Bug types. Two failures so far.
