- How To Beat Volo - Pokémon Legends Arceus Final Boss Guide - The Hardest Fight In Pokemon History?
Volo is the final boss in Pokemon Legends Arceus, and is probably the single most difficult trainer battle in the entire history of mainline Pokemon games. If not, he’s right up there with Red in HeartGold, and Cynthia in Platinum. This dude literally breaks the rules, requiring players to defeat a team of 8 Pokemon, uninterrupted, without any chance to heal your team.
After getting steamrolled when trying to brute force the fight with the team I used all game, I decided to regroup and develop a special strategy to beat him, a FIRST for a mainline Pokemon game! At least in my experience. Until now, mashing the A button has been generally the go to technique when it comes to beating these games. But not here! Legends Arceus truly breaks new ground for the Pokemon franchise, with a post game final boss that will absolutely destroy you if you don't have a proper team, or good strategy in place.
Of course, this is just what worked for me. I'm sure there are many other ways to beat him, many other team compositions, and in days I can guarantee someone will upload a video where his entire team is swept by a Magikarp.

Volo is now my favorite character. I thought he was suspicious after he was litterally at every major plot point. At first i thought he was Arcues in Human form but the twist of him and Giratina working together to destroy the World and arcues. This game had a low expectation but its the Best pokemon game out now.
I definitely thought he was pretty suspicious, but he’s my favorite character. I actually loved the multiple tasks to fill the Pokédex entries, and enjoyed the catching all the Pokémon instead of a gym challenge thing. It’s definitely the best mainline Pokémon game, and what Pokémon should have been a long time ago.
@@Ajay-tu3hkimagine it still had gyms. The perfect game
I wish he could he mine, but from the first time I saw him I was like "This guy definitely a giratina worshipper". So when the time came, I was not surprised at all.
I was spoiled by a UA-cam comment
it said...
(MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!)
Volo caused the space-time rift to appear so he could use Arceus to create a brand new world or some s**t like that!
I thought that he was evil but jeez cheating with 8 mons
During the story I was like “Volo is DEFINITELY a bad guy, gonna be one of the final battles in the game I bet”, but then the credits came during the mainline story and then I said “oh, I guess I judged him too much. he must be good then.” and then this happened.
💀
Met too! It's sus.
Lol he seemed very sus from the beginning until the end and then there was a mini spoiler and I’m like oh it’s battle time and bam volo showed he was crazy and evil lol
LOL
I thought Volo looked sus
Samurott was by far my best friend through and through. The fact I finished the fight with ceaseless edge with him was the best thing ever
togekiss for me
Sneasler for me, but I'm also attached to my Samurott. Well, my whole main team to be honest :)
togekiss got me all the way to roserade, then porygon-z and goodra cleared the rest of his party. typhlosion (infernal parade) handled giratina. i felt like a proud parent before i remembered i was playing a video game
I beat him yesterday and the same thing happened to me! I finished off Giratina with ceaseless edge.
i have to say i caught a level 30 luxray called spark and he stayed with me till level 100
The Origin Giratina got me with the pants down. At my second attempt, Basculegion with Ominous Wind and Ice Fang did the magic with the two giratinas
It was a hell of a battle. I’d like to repeat it as much as I want
I’m gonna be honest, I always had a weird gut feeling about Volo, but I would push it aside. And then once the boss fight came I was like “I FREAKING KNEW IT!”
I hoped he was a good guy for the whole game but the moment he said “Those Ginko Guild guys” I knew he was evil
Saaaaaame. I had a suspicion that he wasn't good, but I dearly wanted him to be.
I just really didn't like him at all and then boom
@@mjdxp5688 Saaaame! He would give me weird vibes.
During the whole game I somehow just convinced myself that he WAS arceus
The volo fight was a complete shock to me when it happened because y'know I thought this man was nice and he just straight up tries to rob us and then proceeds to send a legendary on us 😃
And that legendary was the one who attacked arceus and he restored. I want Volo arrested now
I thought he was Sus as fuck the entire game. I was shocked when we finished the main story and he didn't do anything but....then this.
I was suspicious due to him appearing at EVERY SINGLE PLOT INVOLING ANYTHING STORY WISE.
@@w1nther930 Yeah he just...kept showing up, knew more about everything than any other character, would literally sneak up on the protagonist. Dude was suspicious as FUCK.
@@poppiaria i don’t remember the name of the theory but its “insert name” gun.
Basicly they introduce you to a silly character that seems harmless but is actually the real mastermins
Cresselia is also able to learn Ice Beam. It's super effective and helps a lot with PP management in the two Giratina fights.
How does it learn it? which level?
@@ThatOneItemAsylum Move shop in the village. She won't learn it from leveling up.
Oh ok thanks
Also moonblast
This fight would be hard in a normal game but I find that the arceus mechanics make this fight way harder because it pretty much forces 1 for 1 trades (due to after a pokemon faints the enemy can send in a pokemon that can immediately attack without the option of switching)
fr i always play on switch but this game forces set
@@sofiajohnson4401 i looked in the setting i cant see how to put it on set
@@dollface2907 it's on set by default i dont think u can change it
thats sad, this fight is just wtf lvl hard, ive gone and caught a 2nd lvl 85 garchomp, hope the set super effective doesnt one shoot
@@dollface2907 i been grindin alphas for grit and ingo battles for levels its so crazy, whats ur team comp?
Volo didn’t give off villain vibes. He seemed interested in your story and was very friendly to the point where he helped you when no one else could. Sure he was present every time something important occurred but I assumed his intentions were pure. Then you realize he was behind the distortion on his quest to find God by summoning Satan himself. This twist was great because you realize he only helped you for his own self interest.
😅 I actually saw this twist coming
i thought he was evil immediately lol, HUGE villain vibes
He is the one nice guy who can literally manipulate anyone1
nah dude gave off mega villain vibes just hiding behind cynthia face but any true trainer who suffered the original beat down cynthia gave you as a kid knows to never trully trust her
The Captain Kamado thing I saw coming. But no matter your experience with Volo there is no denying that was a top tier battle
Little tip: Catch the Level 85 Alpha Garchomp in the early morning when it falls asleep (it's catch rate is mega boosted), it's in the South Western part of the Alabaster Iceland's. Highly recommend adding that additional firepower to the team
He's level 88 for me. Scary dude. Ended up leaving him alone
I sweeped his team with my garchomp
@@PlayingWithIssues I don't understand how that's possible but three extra levels is a lot of firepower in PLA
I got him but it does take a while to rank up so I can't use him
@@drtraytdm5069 Okay yeah that's the one caveat. For me at least, I was at 6 star when I first got him, so it didn't take too much research task grinding to use him. And you have to be at least Rank 5 to enter the Iceland's so it wouldn't be impossible to get to Rank 7 by the Volo fight
i had no idea this fight was going to be this hard. i had a team of Samurott, Alpha Zoroark, Alpha Gallade, Alpha Lucario, Cresselia, and Dialga. max revives we’re very helpful, and my Samurott took the hits when i needed to heal. it was such a tight fight, i was fighting for that win 🤣 i absolutely love Volo, he’s definitely my new favorite pokémon character!
Wait what level was your team?
I used legendaries just for that fight.
THANKS SO MUCH! This was a ridiculous fight that I finally completed with your help!
One thing to remember is that even though you can't heal, the cutscene between his 6th team member and Giratina counts as in between battles, which means the game WILL switch whoever is out to the top of your party list. Bit of a troll move when Giratina attacks before you can do anything and the Lucario I intended be sacrificed was instead switched for the party member integral to my strategy.
Yeah lol, I was angry about this because I was so confused why my Gengar was being sent to be oneshot when I didnt select it.
what i did was i simply put a steel type in front of volo's roserade and i healed my team to full
You basicaly have to do a 6 vs 8
Volo's Design is absolutely amazing, his vilian story is also amazing for a pokemon game. best villian out there.
Chesse
Nah N
Has he really a "villian"-story tho?
Yeah you know he was a bit better at hiding the fact he was a villain better than rose from sword and shield I mean it was freaking obvious but for volo it’s not obvious at first but I think when we start collecting plates it slowly becomes suspicious
Other than N
There's an alpha garchomp in alabaster icelands, it starts at level 85, and it's decently good for starting at level 85
You still need to grind until Star 7 so its not recommended unless your struggling a lot.
Another Pokémon that’s a very very good contender, and that I used, is the alpha blissey, but at level 70-80.
It is a tank, it has a whole lot of defense and health, so it’s a good Pokémon to take hits while reviving the rest of your team.
He was easily one of the hardest fights I’ve ever had in a Pokémon game. I had Cresselia too she was the MVP. I put calm mind on my Cresselia though. Sylveon helped me tremendously as well
Have you played Pokemon Colosseum?
@@rjgamehead I have
I feel like the GameCube games were harder than this fight, imo.... Maybe I was just over prepared without knowing what was coming 🤷🏽♂️
@@rjgamehead evice was definitely hard. Ultra necrozma as well. Cynthia as well. But this one was right up there lol he bodybagged me like 4 times and giratina killed me too a bunch
nah facts Gardevoir and Creselia’s lunar blessing came in clutch 😭😭but still took me like 4 times
Rushed through the post game and reached this fight 8-14 levels underleveled. I got mad good RNG and accidentally played super well too, and it might just have been the most intense battle I've ever played.
I led with Wyrdeer, which I switched into Rapidash and took down Spiritomb. Garchomp then one shot Rapidash and I brought it down with Decidueye. Togekiss erased my birb and I beat it with Luxray, who got crushed by Lucario. Zoroark finished Lucario but then got destroyed by Arcanine, who I destroyed in turn with Golduck.
I had him down to just Roserade, who diced Golduck, and then it was just me and Wyrdeer, who brought it home by the skin of his teeth.
I popped off so hard
And then immediately got clapped by Giratina.
That's what I thought as well. My Gyarados was lucky enoug to take down Arcanine, Roserade, and Lucario. Spiritomb came next and killed Gyarados, then I switched in Gliscor and killed it. But then Calm Mind Togekiss came along and one shotted my Gliscor and Staraptor. I tried to contend with Drifblim since it could tank the hits, but I was so unlucky to get a miss on Shadow Ball and it died to it as well. Then Beautifly came along to finish off Togekiss and lastly was Garchomp. Managed to land a Stun Spore and a last Air Slash before Beautifly was down, leaving me with only a lvl 58 Togetic... which killed the Garchomp with a Dazzling Gleam.
Then came Giratina.
wow, talk about the b team
@@natalieisagirlnow If my team was a B team, I don't want to use an A team.
LITERALLY same. I had Garchomp and Staraptor left after the volo fight, and they just got annihilated by giratina. took me 4 tries to beat this guy being 5 levels underleveled. and I got lucky in that attempt too, with Garchomp’s Strong Style dragon claw critting.
This is basically exactly what happened with me, I was in the high 50s in levels, and ended up trading with Volo, as well as luckily getting him to use his full restore on his Spiritomb using my Crobat. Eventually it ended up being my Half health magnezone versus his Togekiss, and I ended up winning with Thunder wave parahax. And then obviously got absolutely clapped by giratina with my half health magnezone
So when I first found Volo, and he was coming around… I always questioned what his motives were because it was a little bit suspicious how he was always around at the most important parts of the game… I haven’t even beat the post game and I am absolutely gobb smacked
Thank you so much Tony I have finally beat Volo with this team. He was so annoying to beat and it kept taking a long time. But thanks to the team you suggested and I finally won against him.
This is the only fight I had to be overleveled for, absolutely loved it. I was getting swamped by Volo- so I trained and beat him, then BAM my last three are swept by Giratina. Probably the best Pokemon battle I've had ever, not speaking competitively. I also like how through the entire game it was normal for my Pokemon to faint, it felt like battles actually had weight and excitement.
It felt good and challenging to NOT do a nuzlocke for once.
Personally was going easy on him and letting him KO 4 of my mons to make it seem like we were evenly matched. I didn't expect a 7th pokemon with two lives
@@bigmonke3348 keep telling yourself that 😉 😂
I was so pissed at first when I realized it was basically the elite 4 where you start over also everything was already level 70 from the beginning especially shaymin cresselia regigigas and darkrai
@@pavloszimbrakos4410 Um no it was hard not to go easy on him when my pokemon we're ev trained 😭🤣
@@bigmonke3348 yeah man that’s just a load of garbage common stop capping
I'm sitting around with my non-legendary team like "Hey Volo, can I attack yet? No? Ok =["
Thank you so much man, thanks to you I beat Volo first try. This video is really helpful. Keep up the good work!
To be honest I went with my own strategy and it still worked without wasting any revives but this one is actually pretty good now I know that training in the village is a thing lol
I literally had to train my mons to the late 70’s, set up a strategy where my Samurott would tank Shadow Balls and Dark Pulses against Spiritomb while I revived my Pokemon. I managed to beat Giratina after I beat Volo with only 4 mons alive. I did it with no legendaries. Proud of myself
I was able to do it without revives with my team around level 60, it was really close lol
for me it was my entire party lvl 77 no legendarys i had a full team of speedy glass canons that i used for the entire game and it worked
I had a huge struggle against Volo, but for some reason, after I caught, trained, and used an Alpha Gliscor, the fight became IMMEDIATELY EASIER. Somehow. I LOVE GLISCOR!!
Thanks dude, I really loved this tutorial, It took me ten times but in the end i’m super greatful.
Dude you were terribly underleveled for this fight, you did a great job!
Volo makes me suffer from extreme emotional pain. I have been stuck fighting him for three days 😭😭. Imagine how I felt when I finally beat him and then he whipped out his giratina.
Kinda wish you got your team revived before battling Giranta..
I wonder what was your reaction when giratina changes form and came back to life 😭
@@maribuns that will be too easy, and people will complain volo get diantha treatment
Tip of advice buy a LOT of Max Revives it can really help you out.
@@richard35791 yea you have a point there
I only got past his Garchomp when I realized Hyper Beam can be used multiple times without recharging in this game while I was grinding.
Thanks for this man! I'm loving this game and look forward to the new release of Gen 9 coming out late 2022
You have no idea how much this helped me, thank you so much man!
one of the most enjoyable hardest fights i've ever seen in pokemon, and i beaten it with my own story team without legendaries, felt so goood
So did I! I'm very proud to say I beat him with only one full revive.
...ok, he offed 4 of my Pokemon.
I also did it with my team. My silveon and hisuian Lilligant hard carried tho since they were on Level 71 and 72. And 3 of Volos Pokemon are weak against fairy and his only coverage against fairy is Roserade which I took out with my Rapidash.
@@lukedt872 his lucario with that part steel typing was a bit tricky for fairy types
@@donniefreidman5240 Luckily bullet Punch didn't oneshot silveon and i could kill it with drainpunch.
@@FandeJay he offed all but my dialga at 46 HP
For grinding, theres also the option of an Alpha Blissey guarenteed in the Obsidian Fieldlands, which can drop Large or XL Candies along with the huge XP
Thank you
in alabaster, theres also 2 guaranteed blissey, and some chancy in their 60's, A lot of xp
Feed it the xp booster berry for extra xp.
In that way you can also get some seeds of mastery
Doesn't Alpha Blissey heal frequently though all while being super tanky? I remember fighting an alpha Chansey and it took me forever to actually catch it because it would just heal everytime I got its hp down just a little
dude thank you so much i finally beat volo
I've been trying for 5 days and you really helped me a lot, finally I succeeded, now the last mission is the road to arceus
super helpful video! thank you!
I got through the first phase after 2 hours of grinding and my jaw dropped as soon as I saw giratina and the fact my pokemon were not healed up. Thanks for the help!
mine did too XD
2 hours? I beat it with a underleveled team with no grinding just luck
Same 🤣😭
i was at first able to barely beat his whole team first try, and i thought giratina would be no biggie until I saw that my pokemon werent healed up. Then i finally grinded my whole team up to level 75 and got through the first giratina fight and i wanted to cry after seeing giratina reviving itself and going to origin form
I almost started crying
I Didn’t really struggle much beating volo after my first try or second try because I had a pretty balanced team, BUT even after beating volo i only had 2 pokemon and they were both at low hp so giratina DESTROYED me and when i finally killed it It completely demolished me in its second phase.
Love this strategy! Thank you so much for sharing! Will try to build a team close to this build♥️♥️♥️
Thanks to you I was able to beat it first try! Thanks man definitely liking this video 😁
Just wanna say there’s a slightly better grinding method, there’s an alpha blissey at the cliff of “Overburrow Tunnel” kill it over and over to gain a lot of EXP in a pretty short time
that what I did lol
@@teamyowielocked where is the tunnel
btw my method for beating him was a bit weird but basicall palkia hisuan tyhplosion garchomp that one level 70 gardevoir hisuan electrode and crobat with a level 70 palkia and a level 70 gardevior make sure the palkia doesnt die in the volo fight nor the electrode then switch to the electrode to max revive the garevior i reccomend having 6 max revives just in case which you should be able to get after doing most of the shop sidequests with this strategy you dont need legendaries and only typhlosion gardevior and palkia need to be above level 65
fun tip i noticed that may help switching in mons has no consequence if the mon you switch in has higher speed than the mon your fighting
I use my pokemom it had close combat then strong style to one shot it
My togakiss and cresselia were overleveled due to training a gabite from level 22 to somewhere in the 60’s so they were able to two shot both gartina forms with moonblast
Theres a lvl 85 alpha garchomp you can catch
@@Tea_Dawg where?
@@octavefox2406 avalanche slopes
@@Tea_Dawg I don’t think I had enough stars to catch it at the time but thanks for the info
@@errormessage1487 i didn't know stars were required because I managed to catch every alpha i encountered
Thank you so much! I was able to beat the entire fight because of you! It was so stressful!
First hint I noticed towards him being a twist villain was when he is talking about info he got about the lake guardians and he said “I was talking to those Ginko Guild members” and Cogita notices it and says “you say it like you’re not one of them”
I really like it how the 3 hardest battles in the franchise all are in the the 4 latest games (Ultra Necrozma in US/UM, Cynthia in BDSP and now Volo in Legends: Arceus).
They're definitely moving in the right direction when it comes to difficulty
I really hope they have future champions continue to have good team balance and battle items.
You mean wrong ❌ direction
@@brokenflyingcat4213 nah, more difficulty is a good thing. that was the biggest problem with X/Y; it was practically impossible to loose any of the battles, especially against the elite 4 and the champion. the final bosses of a game should be somewhat difficult, like Cynthia, ultra necrozma, and of course, Volo
@@dumdum672 More difficulty is a good thing if it wasn’t literally unfair. In BDSP Cynthia’s team has perfect stats and IV’s plus all of them have held items. You can’t even see IV’s until after you beat the league, so matching Cynthia’s level isn’t gonna work. You are practically forced to over level your pokemon. AND VOLO IS EVEN WORSE! He literally breaks the 1 rule that has been in pokemon since the beginning: you can only have 6 pokemon on a team. Volo has 8. 2 of them being legendaries.
Right? I don’t want more unfair stuff like this?
Another quick heads up for those who don't know. If you release a bunch of Pokemon at once from the pastures, they'll leave grit items behind. I'm not sure of the pattern/algorithm for it but, I find if you release a bunch at once you can get A LOT of grit dust, pebbles, rocks, etc.
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS HELPED SO MUCH!!!
This is the best video and most helpfull video I've ever watched I've been grinding this for 8 hours when I watched this video 1h later it worked thank u
In the alabaser icelands around the bottom left corner of the map, there’s an alpha garchomp that’s level 85
I was able to 2 shot origin form giritina because of it
Just came here to say that, it’s near avalanche slopes
Also, you have to have 7 stars for it to fully obey you.
I swear garchomp is so common in the icelands for some reason like it’s 4 x weak and it’s a dragon that will literally die if ice touches it
@@choukrihersi6335 maybe it's depressed
HOLY CRAP THANK YOU DUDE
There's an easier method, IMO-
In Alabaster Icelands, Blissey are a guaranteed Spawn. As long as you have a physical attacker, and hit them from the back, you can kill the Blissey without any issues
after the blissey are both killed, rest at a campsite until another time of day, and repeat.
See? I told you I don't want to play games like this...Godzilla Battle Line and Call of Duty Mobile rules...these guys?
No.
I also have a method.
In Obsidian fieldlands, you can find an alpha Blissey, which you can keep respawning by going back to Jubilife
@@dededetheboi9913 Ooh, nice.
I just do the two Blissey in Icelands because it's consistent, and I can stay in the area without going through loading zones.
@@sydneysleeper9642 I didn't care about the championship or anything.
@@Kaijufan360 ...WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT-
Thank you, you helped me a lot. I was struggling to beat Volo. But thanks to you I beat him❤
Thanks for the guide. I saw this on my recommended page and grinded my Pokémon to at least 70 and slightly added effort levels for Garchomp and Togekiss. I somehow beaten Volo on my first try, even though I’m a noob when it comes to Pokémon. XD
Personally, I was admittedly very much overleveled for this fight due to my tendency to sidetrack to extreme levels. I just had to fill up not just the pokedex but build up a livingdex before I proceeded. But one thing I noticed in my playthrough though that really helped with this fight is that if anything is truly OP in this game are high speed pokemons, doubly so with +action speed moves.
I've been using my fav pokemon Weavile the entire playthrough as soon as I got him early on in a distortion and noticed many trainer battles couldn't even get a turn against my weavile spamming agile ice shard and finishing off target with stronger moves when their hp was brought low enough (also while throwing a few sword dances) even if they had 4 pokemons to throw at me. Didn't have to use legendaries in the story at all since my weavile could just sweep most opponents with raw speed. I've even replaced some pokemons from my team in favor of faster alternatives to much greater results.
So Volo, while stronger than anything else, went down not because I tanked the hits, but because he didn't get to throw as many attacks as he could have, and his fastest pokemon, garchomp, happened to be weakest to my favorite. Giratina did more to my team by himself than all of Volo's team combined tbh if only because of constantly obscuring itself (which I would have put Zoroark at the front for had I known).
For reference, my team was the following: Weavile (with +speed -sp atk nature), Luxray, Scizor, Garchomp (who replaced gastrodon), Zoroark and Decidueye (who didn't get used, he was mostly my false swiper throughout the game, I do love him but then Weavile happened).
It was the same at my playthrough: I did also a living pokedex, and also bring all of my pokemon in the pokedex on research level 10, so that I only need to bring the research up for those legendaries I haven't catch.
Well through this I was around 10 levels overleveled for this fight xD.
My team was Samurott, Arcanine, Lucario, Gardevoir, Zoroark and Mamoswine
And omg Zoroark was definitely the MVP in this fight xD
I didn't do a living dex, but I did get sidetracked by every side quest before this fight, I also regularly caught Alphas and boosted their stats with grit items, so I had no trouble with Volo
Same for me guys I was sidetracked by the actual point of the game lol i didn't want to catch/use legendary pokemon till after I fought arceus , anyway I managed to beat him with my team at the mid 70s.
When you think cynthia and red is tough THEN YOUR IN FOR A BAD TIME
Thank you so much for the post I got it first try with this team!!
This helped a lot thanks
I beat this fight on my first try. But I came prepared for it by Maxing out ELs in stats I found vital to the pokemon's role. And even then I left the fight with only my goodra and ursaluna alive. This fight was brutal and actually required me to plan and strategize which is something you'd only really do In competitive pokemon or a challenge run. I loved this fight and wished pokemon was more like this. A challenging puzzle that requires strategy to beat and feels rewarding to beat.
Same here, beat him on my first try! I didn’t even realize this was the hardest fight in the game at the time. Most of my Pokémon had level 7 ELs in all stats because I’d been using the same ones for almost the whole game. I only ended up using 4 of my Pokémon to win the fight, and only two of them fainted.
The Pokémon I used were as followed:
Gardevior: An alpha of which I found as a Ralts early on in the game, had a electric, psychic, fairy, and fighting type move.
Shiny Rapidash: Only level 54 at the time of the fight. Knew hypnosis though and was a big help nonetheless.
Alpha Pachirisu: One of the two hard carry’s on my team. Knew a paralysis move along with a steel type move. Didn’t end up fainting. Switched it out for Floatzel at one point during the fight.
Floatzel: The first Buizel I was forced to catch. Stuck with me till the end and was THE hard carry. Aqua tail allowed it to keep taking turns before Volo even stood a chance. Also knew Ice Beam.
Pokémon I didn’t use but were on my party:
Typhlosion: Knew Overheat. Highest leveled on my team. Just never felt the need to send him out for some reason.
Roserade: Knew a poison type move. That’s about it.
Same, I did this fight with a full Alpha team.
Gardivoir, Gallade, Garchomp, Gliscor, Porygon-Z and Snorlax.
I almost got him first try. It was the 2nd form that got me. I only had 1 pokémon left and I couldn’t heal any of my pokémon.
I don’t want any more of this it was very unfun. I didn’t stat train any of my Pokémon though. Didn’t think I’d need to in a casual play through
I feel like this wouldn't be nearly as bad if we didn't have the new Speed stat mechanic and the Agile/Strong Styles
I agree. With the old speed mechanic, volo would get sweeped
It was so satisfying after beating him and a fun new way to make a tough boss
@@A_Ali173 I've just beat him there after getting my team to 70 and it was so satisfying😂 had to use the stat boost items though
It would be worse. Cuz he would have held items and full restores up the wazoo like his descendent… Cynthia was no cake walk without a freaking giratina
it is the entire problem got shadow attacked 3 times in a row which 1 shot my lvl 70 pokemon and i wasnt allowed to do anything against it + the terrible long cutscenes
Bro ty so much for making this video. It really helped me beat Giratina
bro thank you. i have been trying to do this for a day tysm
For me, I utilized bulk up and self healing to literally tank all of his hits from Giratina.
My main Pokemon was an alpha Heracross who was practically immune to moves like earth power
Ironically, I was able to get Volo during my first attempt. So I guess my team selection was just a lucky one
I just used my (VERY UNDERLEVELED) pokemon, Specifically Goodra and Lilligant to switch max revives and stuff. After Giratina (1) was dead, I got really lucky and KO'd Giratina Origin with a crit draco meteor
Basically most op strat in game. Bulk up/calm mind & heal.
Most broken pokemon to use it on are legend plate arceus or considering he isnt available for volo- defensive nature cresselia.
Calm mind
Psychic(same type attack damage)
Moonblast(dragons & to counter dark types)
Lunar Dance(heals & opponent misses)
On pokemon that you know cant one hit KO, calm mind(meaning you take no damage & destroy), lunar dance heal(opponent misses, back to full hp), wipe opponent. You can take down the entirety of Volo & Giratina without needing another pokemon.
On what logic alpha heracross immune to ground type moves?
I also got through volo on my first try. My team was fairly average. Being hisuian goodra, samurot, sylveon, toxicroak, kleavor, and a gliscor. Personally didnt have much of an issue with volo, had to use a few revives on giritina since i was messing around on volo and wasnt ready for giritina
@@ED-fu5lz he meant that it was bulky enough to tank the resisted hits
Glad to see my mascot being used in a tough boss fight
I doubt mine will be in any tough boss fights lol
@@Summer_turtle_ aww. The evolved form was a gmax raid boss
I am so thankful I found this vid, it was a huge help with beating Volo.
Thank you so much this helped a lot
I just got to this point and was so taken back by the difficulty spike lol thank you for this!
Some really good Pokemon you can find for this fight are :
1) Alpha empoleon (lvl65, needs some levelling, spawn on the coastlands)
2) Alpha goodra (Lvl 70, coronet highlands)
3) Alpha Lucario (Lvl 70, alabaster icelands)
Steel types are amazing in this game, goodra and empoleon are tanks and also hit pretty hard, empoleon has access to roost as well.
Lucario hits so damn hard, mine took out almost 4 of volos Pokemon before he went down. Good luck!
What was your full team if I may ask?
Don't forget the alpha Garchomp at alabaster as well
@@cyber2cyke True but it takes longer to get to it, not to mention it’s level 85
@@georgedooley8247 I caught it using stealth using the potion that masks your presence and using smoke bombs to hide into. Then finally distracted him with a berry for the giga ball throw on its back. Took me about 5 tries to get him but it's worth it. Having a jolly alpha Garchomp sure is amazing.
Alpha Garchomp, Lvl 85!
Omg I did this boss at least 12 times before finding your video and after that I did all of your tips and stuff I beat him in 2 tries I am definitely subscribe
Thank you so much, I spent ages fighting him but after this video got him on the 2nd fight
The reason this fight was so difficult for me was because I had absolutely no strategy going into the fight. Team I used was Typhlosion, Garchomp, Luxray, Origin Palkia, Origin Dialga, and Gengar. Got insanely lucky at the end of the fight when hypnosis hit giratina, immediately prevented him from attacking (which would have ended the fight) and I was able to hit him with Hex
my team was dialga, onix, sylveon, vaporeon, lucario and rapidash, i keep getting stuck in giratina but i'll find a way to kick his ass >:(
me too! i had Samurott, Alpha Zoroark, Alpha Gallade, Alpha Lucario, Cresselia, and Dialga and hoped for the best! 🤣 Zoroark was insanely helpful bc of the dark type moves, Samurott wasn’t as damaged by Giratina, and Dialga was effective and had a super effective move i finished it off with!
Oh HELL NO!!! ITS EVEN WORSE THEN CYNTHIA!!!
Their related but we can agree the entire blood line of cynthia family is a walking nightmare
@@Isaac.736 lmao
@@Isaac.736
They have been ruining dreams for generations
The only reason they walk scot free is cause Everyone is scared of this bloodline man
@@Isaac.736 oh gosh
Dlc
Don't let us fight COGITA!!!
@@xenophacilus5895 Cogita will literally bring out Arceus on top of Cynthia’s team. Lmao
thank you so much i was struggling for 2 days trying to beat him. thanks!
Tbh, the thing i like about volo's fight is that while you get basically every legendary before it, you actually have to think and can't just normally brute force.
tips for those going to try it? don't try to get hit with volo using a triple turn
My experience
First try: Lost to Volo.
Second try: Beat Volo, pretty confident. And then along came giratina.
Third try: Beat Volo and Giratina. Confident. Then second phase giratina.
Fourth try: Finally beat both due to stalling his last pokemon, spiritomb, with my samurott while I revived the rest of my team.
Same!
Exactly what happened to me
Just gotta love those twists that leave your jaw on the floor. I had no idea volo was gonna be a villain, I actually liked his character because I knew how he felt before turning. He seemed like a dude that just wanted to help me, in order to see all of these events that are literally going to be in the history books. It makes a lot of sense, so when he ended up as a villain, I liked his character even more. Witnessing history being made wasn't enough, he wanted to create that history. I simply love the concept of Volo's character, a villain that has devoted their life to a cause to the point of insanity. I can't think of a scenario that would make sense for Volo returning in a DLC for this game, but I would love to see him return.
Thanks Alot this helped me so much
Thank you because I have been stuck on this for 5 hours and keep in mind the longest it took me was 20 minutes at most
I need to thank you so much! It went from the hardest fight i‘ve ever had in pkmn to a pretty easy one!
you hit the nail right on the head with every statement you made. i had the same thought process as you the entire way through the game, volo is the hardest trainer ever.
Bro thank youuu. You helped me out so much
BRO THANK YOU YOU SAVED ME u earned my sub
This video helped so much. I listened to all the tips and beat Volo first try. Thanks so much man!
I'm not sure if it's because I've played Pokemon for years, but I didn't find him as difficult as most of the comments I'm seeing would suggest. Definitely the most challenging fight in the game for sure, but Cynthia in the D/P remakes is definitely MUCH more difficult imo
I agree I didn’t have to use legendarys or anything
I had goodra,sylveon,gliscor, honchkrow, Walrein
And zoroark and beat him with losing like 2 Pokémon I think 😂 my highest Pokémon was gliscor level 73 and lowest was 61 sylveon
Mine were around level 80, and I did relatively fine. Had to max revive a few but tanks like rhydon give that room
I think I had some luck with an alpha nine tails you can find on volcano Island
Same although I was in the mid 70s by the time I reached him
Same, I did it first try, I didn't even have to use one of my pokemon (the one I had to find absolutely ages to find because I didn't pick it as my starter). My team was Alpha Garchomp (level 78) Alpha Togekiss (level 70) Dialga (Level 77) Forgot it's name but the final evolution of Oshawott (level 70), Cressilia (Level 74) and Alpha Blissey (Level 75). I had to use a few max revives though. Somehow, my garchomp managed to one shot the 2nd form. Most of my team could take 2 hits from Volo's team, and combined with the fact that most of his pokemon got oneshotted by my team so he only managed to use one potion, yeah, the fight was really easy.
I beat Cynthia in bdsp first try but then again I used items. For volo I'm trying to do it with no items but i have lost like 10 times.. items are so op
Bro this actually works thank you for this :)
I didn't have an issue with the combat in this game until Volo. The inability to change pokemon at the beginning of the turn really was frustrating
When I fought Volo, my final team was Weavile, Porygon-Z, Sylveon, Alolan Ninetales, Bastiodon, and Rampardos.
The grit items were invaluable here. My stats had EVs of 7 all around, with the main attacking stat of each one with an EV of 9. Levels of around 68, matching Volo.
The strategy of a bulky Pokemon to stall while you heal your team is the way to go, especially if Togekiss is the last Pokemon he has. Bastiodon walls it.
Then once your team is fully healed, I just had a raw slugfest with Giratina using every super effective move I had and it went down.
Crazy fight. Loved it.’
Bro, you’re the best. Thank you🙏, you made me win the battle that i thought i’d never win.
I predicted Volo's Fight was gonna be a Ridiculous battle, and I frickin knew it was gonna happen! Thanks for the tips, can't wait to knock him out soon! ( plus.... Giratina.... 😓 )
Thank you this video really helped out in my fight with volo
Thank you so much for doing this video! I followed it to a t and it worked almost perfectly 😆
I was really afraid of this battle for some reason, so I decided to grind to low level 80's and it still was close, my Sylveon was the only one left, and it definitely was the MVP. He ended up tanking all of Giratina's attacks and killed it. Man it was stressful.
thank you so much there was no way i wouldve beaten him without the help of this video
You are the best of the best, thank you so much
This tutorial just saved me so hard. Only took one attempt after this video. Such a good tactic
Accidentally leveled up my two mains crobat and decidueye to level 90 since I was having fun filling out the pokedex, and got lucky with giratina missing shadow force in its origin form so the battle probably went a bit easier than intended. But I still thought it was super fun!! In-game Trainers with actually good teams are always cool to analyse
This is the 1st time I’ve needed help from UA-cam to beat a Pokémon boss
I defeated him first try without watching any videos, not realising it was him being the end game boss, but destroyed him, having only my snorelax faint 😅
Didn't realize he was powerful, managed to melt giratina too haha
No
this is imposibble
Probably overleveled i guess
This fight was amazing. I was able to beat it with my normal team just leveling up a bit more. But everything mostly died in one hit still. The saving grace was my team was not full so I used abomasnow than goodra. With goodra I was able to tank a few hit revive everything on his last pokemon and start giratina with a full team. While beating giratina with one pokemon left.
This battle was pretty fun I felt pretty proud of my darkrai for being able to one shot giratinas final form
THX SO MUCH I DID THIS SO MANY TIMES WITH MY POKÉMON BUT WITH THOSE POKÉMON AND MOVESETS!! THX SO MUCH!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
