okay so how you wanna win the raid in that scenario is just not press the attack button so you dont waste your teams time while they try to fight the thing! :D
Building a team of 10 is awesome. Lots of options going into a pretty significant event. I never thought we would see a legendary shiny with a 100% catch rate.
Regiggas in SWSH, the one in the special dynamax den that you have to bring all the other regi’s to get, can be shiny and once you beat it it’s got a 100% catch rate.
18:06 Love the dual type order distinction being pointed out! I interpret the specific example as - Zacian is a Fairy wolf at the core, with legendary Steel weapons literally added, - Magearna is a completely artificial Steel creature, but one that was given a Fairy heart~
One build I've considered is prankster klefki. Having priority screens is always good plus it also has priority twave, metal sound even though it's not the most reliable, trick room, and misty terrain if that actually ends up being useful at all. You can swap twave for iron defense if youre running trick room. It does have calm mind draining kiss if it needs to heal. Only downside is that it can't heal the team outside of heal cheer.
Magearna is a top tier raid mon! I've used it as support and as an attacker for several 7 star raids, it's got an amazing movepool & stats. its only drawback is its rarity i guess
Magearna will probably be the best solo build choice, but with these legendary raids like with Mewtwo, they're almost impossible solo even with an ideal counter. Taunt feels like it's going to be vital this raid.
If it has both Draco Meteor and Dragon Ascent, Simple Beam is a hilarious choice. You can use it on allies too. Only 5 learn it though: Latios Psyduck Golduck Spoink Grumpig
Wish I could get a maghearna, maybe some other time. I think my 13 yo built a zacian for this raid, I'm probably going to use azumaril or sylveon since I already have them and haven't really built anything else for a while. With it being a five star I'm not too concerned about it though. Going to be interesting to see what kinds of moves this raid boss has when it starts
I was thinking Flutter Mane could work but it relies on its ability which you can’t use because Rayquaza doesn’t let you put the sun and holding the booster energy prevents you from using a better item. But I wonder if you could make it work without the ability.
Flutter Mane has base 55 Defense vs. Rayquaza's base 150 attack. Fully-invested in HP and Defense and Bold you can get it to a 3HKO from Dragon Ascent, but... then you aren't dealing as much damage from Moonblast as you would be if you invested some of those EVs into Sp. Attack. Seems really hard to pilot and keep alive.
Every Steel Pokémon here can take 4-5 Earthquakes based on the EVs I gave them. Reflect makes that a 7. That’s why I do calculations and don’t guess purely based off typings. So no, it’s fine.
The blur leading into Azumarill gave me a whiplash of emotions: “Yes, I love using my Azumarill!” and “OH NO, THE RANDOS”
Jokes on you Steve, i'm brining a level 54 Perrserker with no held item. 😜
Perfect

Finally, Steve can flex with his Boxing Day Magearna 😤💪
🤣🤣

I came here for the Dragon Ascent pronunciation and I was not disappointed.
Thanks for the raid help Steve, always appreciated.
Any time!
Omg putting "The Pokemon Home one isn't shiny" on the time stamp is so funny. Always have to make that clarification. 😂
10!?
How you know Steve isn’t traveling.
Great work, my friend!
YEEEESSS. i was waiting for this! Thank you!
🙌

Every time you said "Goodra" my Google Assistant got activated
😂😂
I just came here to say that!

33:02 I like Heatran. He's my main fire attacker in Go. 😁
Excited to try some of these out!
I was just searching for this the other day and then boom, Steve saves the day! 🎉❤
Thanks for video looking into doing this rade with a friend
granbull sounds good for Solo if you pair it with another intimidate user ((if luck 2 more)) then Ray's Attack will be surviveable for a long while
Great vid as always
Wow the options! Making 10 builds is a huge effort, Steve. Please know how appreciated it is 😊🙏
Magearna is a top tier raid mon! I've used it as support and as an attacker for several 7 star raids, it's got an amazing movepool & stats. its only drawback is its rarity i guess
thanks Steve!!
Happy to help!
I am that guy that likes Heatran! We exist!
thank you
You’re welcome!
Magearna will probably be the best solo build choice, but with these legendary raids like with Mewtwo, they're almost impossible solo even with an ideal counter. Taunt feels like it's going to be vital this raid.
Mewtwo was 7* this is only 5* like Dialga and Palkia. Those were very simple to solo.
Very Professional 👌
Such good support options! How do I pick?
If it has both Draco Meteor and Dragon Ascent, Simple Beam is a hilarious choice. You can use it on allies too.
Only 5 learn it though:
Latios
Psyduck
Golduck
Spoink
Grumpig
Holy shit, Granbull.
Nice.
It's Klefki's time to shine

No zoom lens on heatran with thatscorching sands move?
Scorching Sands is 100% accurate
Steve: Let me tell you exactly what misty terrain does
Also Steve: Don't use misty terrain, it's not needed.
Lol
The amount of people who think misty terrain boosts fairy moves, hence why they use it, is high.
Level 75 dragonite from my last tera raid will be fine.
When is the event
19th
How about primarina instead of clefairy? It has lifedew as egg move.
he calculated primarina and it didn't survive as well as clefairy with eviolite and friend guard boost
Off the wall/silly question: What pokeball is clefairy in?
Strange Ball from Legends
@PKMNcast Ah, thank you! I think it's a cool and distinctive look.
I was thinking Flutter Mane could work but it relies on its ability which you can’t use because Rayquaza doesn’t let you put the sun and holding the booster energy prevents you from using a better item. But I wonder if you could make it work without the ability.
Flutter has the defense and HP stat of cardboard
Flutter Mane has base 55 Defense vs. Rayquaza's base 150 attack. Fully-invested in HP and Defense and Bold you can get it to a 3HKO from Dragon Ascent, but... then you aren't dealing as much damage from Moonblast as you would be if you invested some of those EVs into Sp. Attack. Seems really hard to pilot and keep alive.
Me with a level 100 ice tera type Kyogre:
8:27 COMBINED?!!!
Rayquacka
Remind me again why primarina wasn’t chosen over azu? I’ve heard you say primarina is a better azu
you're stuck with calm mind on prim while azu packs belly drum, so ofc you're getting a lot more damage out of azu
@ oh i see v that does make sense. Even with shadow balling to tera, trying to to calm mind could be interrupted
Does being Tera dragon still mean that it gets stab from its flying type? I don't dynamax enough, but if not, then Dragon ascent won't be stab here
Yes. You still keep your original stab.
@PKMNcast ahh okay, neat!
Can I use my charizard
Is there another move I could add to my Azumarill instead of Belly Drum? My Tinkaton's name is actually Damage
there is no belly drum alternate for azu as it has a bad attack stat even with huge power
helping hand is an option if you're not planning to use it as the main damage dealer in this fight
@@Wadusher ty
I made it this far
Why is there no Rayquaza in standard format for TCG though 😭
Me who alrdy got it a year or two ago: damn should I :/?
You can also go flutter mane for scarlet players with choice specs or metronome moonblast with full offensive evs to take it down really fast
Or you can understand that Flutter Mane’s biggest weakness is physical Pokémon and Ray has a 150 ATK stat with the chance to Dragon Dance.
Ghouldango
it's just "golden go" - that's been confirmed officially
one EQ and almost everything drops, lets hope it wont have that
Every Steel Pokémon here can take 4-5 Earthquakes based on the EVs I gave them. Reflect makes that a 7. That’s why I do calculations and don’t guess purely based off typings. So no, it’s fine.
I'm gonna try using my Sylveon. Also, pronunciations man.... please for all of our sakes work on them.
Like what?
Thanks Steve! We can always count on you! 🫡
