Thank you! That was excellent! I failed trying to solo today, and yet being F2P I “swore” I wasn’t going to evolve without blast burn on a “good” IV ‘mon. Your very cool sensibilities and explanation will empower me to give it a try tomorrow-without spending dust or TMs!
Literally just went to battle a Beldum next door because of this video. I had all 3 starters and pivoted to Charizard for the Dynamax moves - worked well :)
I used Blastoise and Charizard... Didnt need a third. No power ups either. I used B to tank damage and build energy and just switched to C to do the max attacks... Then switched back to B to build energy again. It worked really well.
I also recommend using Blastoise in combination with Charizard. My strategy is similar to the one you recommend but instead of using Charmeleon during the standard attacks I used Blastoise. Because Blastoise is a tank, he can survive for up to three rounds. Another benefit I’ve noticed using Blastoise is that the Max Meter charges faster. I’m not sure why but I would assume it’s due to his fast move. Finally, I only need those two to solo the battle so my third is any involved, low CP Pokemon that I want to farm candy with. No need to worry about recalling.
@@kekahili I think you described the exact strategy I said ;) My energy didnt charge as fast though... Probably because I was using water gun and you might have been using bite... which would make more sense because it would be super effective.
I'm totally on board with the Dynamax train! It seems super fun! It's a new hunt! And makes managing space more interesting! (Of course I'm bad at space, cuz I'm a hoarder!😅) Why I liked your pokedex management vid! Need time to follow those tips and search threads, been super busy! Glad this can be soloed bcuz I doubt I get to town to meet with people. I'm super rural! I've been getting the 900 energy a day on a reg from walking. I farm, like as irl! A Farmer. Tractors go slow!😅 free distance! But no stops, gyms, or dens unless I leave the countryside, which is rare!
I've got 10 dynamax capable mons. Most suck on ivs. But I'd wait on collecting my 300 energy if thought I'd go to town and could hit some spots. I powered up several moves, just bcuz use it or lose it, and I got the candy! Sitting on 1240 energy, with 300 ready to claim. Hoping I see town 2mrw and some beldum!😅
Watched this video before doing my first beldum raid and it was very helpful. Defeated it first time with a charmeleon and 2 charzards. Still had a good amount of health on my last charzard but they had weather boost on their moves. Good luck to everyone.
Nice Vid, Lucky :) I did my first Max Beldum raid yesterday, and went with a Charizard, Greedent and Charmander. I ended up only needing 2 'mon for it. I will admit, my Charizard was 98% (15-15-14) and Level 23, as I powered it up for one of the research tasks. My Greedent was also 96% (15-14-14) and unpowered. I used firespin and overheat on Charizard and Bite/Bodyslam on Greedent. Greedent was the only one to have Max Spirit at L1 as well (all just had Max Attack L1). I ended up only needing Charizard/Greedent with only Greedent fainting. I did use Max spirit a couple of times to heal it so that it would last longer, as I noticed early on that Max Darkness wasn't really doing as much damage as Max Flare. So I swapped them once (built up the Max meter with greedent, swapped to charizard when it maxed), but the second time I decided to test the Greedent. Charizard finished taking out beldum after greedent fainted, though it too was close to fainting. There were no other 'mon providing attack bonuses as I was the first trainer to do the battle. Overall, it was fun. More complex than standard raids, and I definitely think tier 5 Max battles will require multiple trainers to coodrinate efforts a lot more to be able to take bosses down. Fun stuff so far. :)
I beat it with 2 dubwool and a charizard. Just tank everything on dubwool, swap to charizard when dynamaximg and max flare, and swap back to dubwool to tank until ready to dynamax again. Also dodge. Dodge everything and it doesn't do much damage
Yea this is exactly how i do it too, 2000 ish Cp dubwool and single zard works fine for me, i keep a blastoise in third slot just incase but i can normally clear it with just the two pokemon. (Zards only 1600 and no max moves)(Dubwool damn near maxed for the meme)
I never got the timing down on dodging. I used Blastoise, Charizard, and Charmander. I now have a Metagross for future attempts at getting a good IV one.
I caught a hundo charmander from a max battle last week, brought it up to a lvl 40 charizard and it can easily take out a beldum by itself. If you have the stardust budget I would recommend doing something similar, it takes a lot of the thinking out of the battles lol
I tried this once for about 5 mins and realized this is gonna be like this for any three star and up. I’m not even gonna attempt to waste my time. They aren’t hard just real time consuming
I got a really good IV wooloo from my max research so I powered up it’s healing move in the first week. My strategy has been to use two charizards and when they get low in health to bring in my dubwool and heal everyone. With maxed heal moves you get about 75% of your charizards health restored. Probably won’t work for more powerful Pokémon boss, but worked out great for me.
I was lucky enough to get a really good IV charmander when dynamax battles came out. I leveled it up a bit and evolved to charzard and it allows me to just use one Pokémon to win these raids
I already beat it once with Charizard, Charmeleon and Dubwool and then again with a Charmander at the end. Pretty close both times as I didn't think to swap Charizard for the Dynamaxing. I just went in order as they were slowly murdered lol. I also had been tapping like a fool on the damn little max energy circle and thought it just wasn't working. Good to see I was doing it wrong lmao
Great info. I got kicked from one raid twice which was annoying but otherwise loving this feature and as a few youtubers have said, this could be the way raids go in general from now on instead of passes. Would be much easier to put MP into any raids of your choice instead of just buying remote passes, normal raid passes and MP for MP raids.
I noticed the kick from the raid happens if you try using a pokemon that is already assigned in a Power Spot. This basically means you'll have to always change the one pokemon on your party or not leave any pokemon at power spots. I named the power spot pokemon differently to make it easier to differentiate them from each other.
I used 2 charizard and 1 blastoise... blastoise tanks the attack while building up the dynamax. Once the dynamax starts switch to charizard and for dynamax and charge up the max flare 3x and then switch back to blastoise and repeat
My strategy is similar to the one you recommend but instead of using Charmeleon during the standard attacks I use Blastoise and then switch to Charizard for the Max attacks. Because Blastoise is a tank, he can survive for up to three rounds. Another benefit I’ve noticed using Blastoise is that the Max Meter charges faster. I’m not sure why but I would assume it’s due to his fast move. Finally, I only need those two to solo the battle so my third is any involved, low CP Pokemon that I want to farm candy with. No need to worry about recalling.
Blastoise might not actually be a bad choice because it resists steel type moves, making it last longer during the battle. Might be better as a budget pick for people who don't want to spend charmander candies
If you have the candy to spare I'd evolve the Charizard regardless. I used a Gogoat to build the max bar up and then my Charizard sweeped. I did use heal and powered it up to 25 as it was my only one and i burn through stardust. Got the mon!
I have so much candy, and there were so many days between the launch of Dynamax, and the release of Beldum, that there was no reason to NOT max the attack. All three of my first caught starter Pokémon were 3 stars. I'm not catching more than one version of any Dynamax Pokémon. I got one Beldum. I'm good until the next new release.
The only video to actually answer all my questions. Instead of going between multiple websites/reddit posts and still not having a good idea what to do lol. Or Niantic could be more transparent on everything, that would also work.
Alright so check out 5:42. You will see 3 lines indicating your pokemon is sensing or alert to something. When you see these lines above your Pokémon’s head, swipe to dodge. When the lines start flashing and you haven’t swiped yet then it will have been too late and you will take damage. The intervals when these lines show up through is seemingly random.
I'm not sure about other pokemon but for beldum sometimes there is an indicator that pop up above your pokemon head and when it appears just swipe left or right immediately. I believe they made it that you can't dodge every single attack because it will make it too easy. The indicator kinda look like the 3 top pointy strip on this emoji🔆
Same, I keep swiping in every direction when the indicator shows up and for a little while after that but my Pokémon just keep taking damage every single time anyway.
Soloe'd Beldum with 2 charizards and one blastoise today, no stardust used to power up, just attack with fire type moves both normal and dinamaxed Blastoise is for emergency in case both charizards fall, since it also resists steel moves and is a better tank than the other dinamax mons, just remember, USE BITE as a fast move to both deal super effective damage and have the dark dinamax move
My Charizard is over 2000; it has a max guard, I do not dodge, and I just use the one Charizard each time. No other Mon needed. Get the Max Guard.... getting the Max guard is also a great way to spend the MP and make room for more.
Honestly I powered up one Charizard to around 2000 CP and he was able to solo it pretty easily tbh. I think I ended up down to about a quarter health and just fought it. Had a Greedent as backup but didn't need it, and my 3rd member was a Charmander to leave in the Spot for candy farming.
For more candy you can pop your phone in a sock and shake it. I powered up my basti, lickitung, Medich, and several legendaries. From my experience it caps the walking distance at 230km per week. Once I hit that amount I stopped getting xl and regular candy. To mitigate this I usually do 20-40km a day with a poffin, which depending on the pokemon and distance can net 15 to 20 xl candies plus regular. Hope this helps
@@cookinheat yes, depends on phone, but it tricks the movement gyroscope, and counts as adventure sync distance. I leave my phone on with app open, turn the screen backlight down so it doesn't drain my battery and shake the sock. I do it when reading, watching movies, or any other down time. The best way to check the candy's and distance is to refresh the game by entering the announcement page or friends list page. Then the distance will stop and candies will be awarded.
I just did defeat him with charmeleon (1088cp and lvl1 guard), a dubwool (1163cp) and raboot (1010cp) I took me over 10 trys. (⚠️TIP⚠️ you can douch the attacks not the large attacks but just the normal ones and that helped me i think)
Didn't know beldum was gonna br tough, I went in with the charmanders and a Charizard, butit was time consuming, nothing hard at all. I did have the max spirit unlocked (not upgraded) so I did use it once just to confirm the battle was won
I was able to solo it down to red with just one level 20 zard with fire spin/overheat with no move upgrades then finished it off with a level 20 blastoise i think the key is to dodge every time it says incoming attack and swipe onto the bubbles when they appear
i wasnt really paying attention that Beldum was a 3star raid. haha. i though it was 1 star since it was the early form. I went in with 3 charmanders, non leveled and died when Beldum had like 70% hp left. Then i evolved all 3 into Charizard and beat the boss with 2 of charizards. Just had to change their moves that werent fire, into fire types. easy win, but took a while to beat it.
There actually does seem to be a timer. Because I was using a blastoise team I was taking way longer than one should take. Consistently around the 5 minute mark the raid would crash and kick me out, refunding my mp and returning my Pokémon to a pre battle state. Even if I would have won the game canceled the raid. This is most likely a bug but it goes to show that you probably shouldn’t use blastoise
so my friend went and solod a beldum raid and he lost but had stuff to do and left the area and went back later and it made him use points im wandering if that was intentional or a bug.
IDK if investing stardust to power up Pokemon for dynamax raids is worth it right now. Most of us have enough candy for Beldum, Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise to seriously never have to worry about candy for them again. Another way to get rare candy is welcome but the rewards beyond that have been very underwhelming, I've yet to receive candy XL, which isn't a big deal for these Mon but still.. I'd be more inclined to invest resources on this if they made an item to turn stuff you own to be able to dynamax. I'm not bulding a seventh metagross lol
Im fairly new to playing pokemon go again(picked it up after years of not playing) I didn't have the extra candies to make more charmeleon/charizards. I probably should've saved candies for some charmeleons, but i managed to solo it with a 2113 charizard(dragon claw), and two wartortle(with bite) lol
I soloed with dynamax cinderace, xkedrill, and charmilian and i still failed but the max energy thing with the swiping is new to me so ill see if that helps
I wanted to test this so I did one raid at level 20 and one at level 30 - since there isn’t a timer I don’t have an exact score, but I had one less Dynamax round I had about half the damage. It also smokes through the starters - I’m glad I did it but I can see the argument for not doing it!
Team as close to 2000cp dodge as much as possible only use best 1 to dynomax last minute swap saving hp max attack 2 twice and max Guard level 1 best 2nd move as temporary shield swap using 2 Pokémon to charge until you have to use dynomax
So when i failed my first Beldum, the game DID charge me MP to try again. It was the exact same Power Spot I just did and it told me i didnt have enough MP to do the raid
Has it been buffed? I soloed it first day quite easily with only 1 Charizard + the (literal) goat ca 1k CP, and a Charmander (just to dump after raid). Charizard at CP 2,1k only Max attack lvl 1 (no more candy)
I've had it happen twice now where Beldum barely does any damage to my Pokémon all raid long, but then once two of my Pokémon are down and Charizard is all I have left, Beldum suddenly does HALF of my Charizard's HP worth of damage in one hit. By that point Charizard has already taken enough damage that this makes him faint instantly and I lose. What. The. Heck?! Also one time I finally ALMOST beat him, he was in the red... "Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again" and it kicked me out of the raid. FUN.
I had this happen once also, but then a couple more and the damage from Beldum seemed the same throughout. I was thinking he got more powerful as he got lower HP or something... but it isn't consistent.
I can't. I've been playing for 2 mo. Because my daughter wanted me to play. I'm lv 30 I have 3 charmanders dynamax 542ish cp 3* I have 12 candy's and 1,000 stardust. They all die and the boss has 50% hp left.
How do I solo when I constantly get kicked and "somthing went wrong". But I figured a strat if you max def you can do 3 of those then 3 max strikes then 3 def again you'll never take damage.
Remember to hold onto your high IV Beldum until December Community Day! This way you can get Meteor Mash for free when you evolve it into Metagross!
Or use elite charged tm?

great vid, tysm for covering everything as well as you did ❤❤
Thanks, I didn't know about swiping when the max power bubble popped up.
Took a Beldrum out with a dynamic Gengar to wear it down followed by a charizard to finish it off
I only found out about swiping to pick up the max energy yesterday. Makes all the difference. They really dropped the ball explaining how that works.
I saw a beldum yesterday at a power spot and I was so excited we finally got new dynamax other that the squirrel and sheep no one really cares about
Great video, wish I saw this in time. I managed to still get two beldums but the ivs suck.

Blastoise might not actually be a bad choice because it resists steel type moves, making it last longer during the battle. Might be better as a budget pick for people who don't want to spend charmander candies

For more candy you can pop your phone in a sock and shake it. I powered up my basti, lickitung, Medich, and several legendaries. From my experience it caps the walking distance at 230km per week. Once I hit that amount I stopped getting xl and regular candy. To mitigate this I usually do 20-40km a day with a poffin, which depending on the pokemon and distance can net 15 to 20 xl candies plus regular. Hope this helps
That is a lot.

Didn't know beldum was gonna br tough, I went in with the charmanders and a Charizard, butit was time consuming, nothing hard at all. I did have the max spirit unlocked (not upgraded) so I did use it once just to confirm the battle was won
I was able to solo it down to red with just one level 20 zard with fire spin/overheat with no move upgrades then finished it off with a level 20 blastoise i think the key is to dodge every time it says incoming attack and swipe onto the bubbles when they appear
Found it fairly simple just using blastoise to build up the energy and charizard for damage. Didn't lose any pokemon.
i wasnt really paying attention that Beldum was a 3star raid. haha. i though it was 1 star since it was the early form.
I went in with 3 charmanders, non leveled and died when Beldum had like 70% hp left.
Then i evolved all 3 into Charizard and beat the boss with 2 of charizards. Just had to change their moves that werent fire, into fire types. easy win, but took a while to beat it.
There actually does seem to be a timer. Because I was using a blastoise team I was taking way longer than one should take. Consistently around the 5 minute mark the raid would crash and kick me out, refunding my mp and returning my Pokémon to a pre battle state. Even if I would have won the game canceled the raid. This is most likely a bug but it goes to show that you probably shouldn’t use blastoise
I solo the raid with one maxed charazard with overheat charge and fire spin. Works every time
My plan for Beldum is my 98% charizard as Mega Y with blast burn and switching to another charizard for the dyna-attacks.
so my friend went and solod a beldum raid and he lost but had stuff to do and left the area and went back later and it made him use points im wandering if that was intentional or a bug.
IDK if investing stardust to power up Pokemon for dynamax raids is worth it right now. Most of us have enough candy for Beldum, Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise to seriously never have to worry about candy for them again. Another way to get rare candy is welcome but the rewards beyond that have been very underwhelming, I've yet to receive candy XL, which isn't a big deal for these Mon but still.. I'd be more inclined to invest resources on this if they made an item to turn stuff you own to be able to dynamax. I'm not bulding a seventh metagross lol
Ended up getting a shiny XXL 14-15-14 Beldum. Doubt I’ll ever top that.
Why you don't wait for the dynamax move to charge up?
I did end up using blast burn, as i still have a lot of elite charge TMs cause i kinda stopped playing, but charizard is good as it is.
How do I change a dynamax pokemons dynamax move idk how to my charzard has max airstream but I want the fire one
Im fairly new to playing pokemon go again(picked it up after years of not playing) I didn't have the extra candies to make more charmeleon/charizards. I probably should've saved candies for some charmeleons, but i managed to solo it with a 2113 charizard(dragon claw), and two wartortle(with bite) lol
I soloed with dynamax cinderace, xkedrill, and charmilian and i still failed but the max energy thing with the swiping is new to me so ill see if that helps
Sorry if this is a dumb question but how much does cp matter? I’m sure there’s a recommended level in this case 20 in your example?
I wanted to test this so I did one raid at level 20 and one at level 30 - since there isn’t a timer I don’t have an exact score, but I had one less Dynamax round I had about half the damage. It also smokes through the starters - I’m glad I did it but I can see the argument for not doing it!
Any strats for triple Greedent?
I was using 2 Dubwool with wild charge with a Charmeleon to do Beldum battles
Team as close to 2000cp dodge as much as possible only use best 1 to dynomax last minute swap saving hp max attack 2 twice and max Guard level 1 best 2nd move as temporary shield swap using 2 Pokémon to charge until you have to use dynomax
So when i failed my first Beldum, the game DID charge me MP to try again. It was the exact same Power Spot I just did and it told me i didnt have enough MP to do the raid
Yo is it gonna come back or is it gone gone
I'm using inteleon that has shadow ball and non gigantamax gengar to dynamax. My inteleon also resist the attack so he also act as a tank.
Has it been buffed? I soloed it first day quite easily with only 1 Charizard + the (literal) goat ca 1k CP, and a Charmander (just to dump after raid).
Charizard at CP 2,1k only Max attack lvl 1 (no more candy)
Can someone tell me why when I evolved one of my charmanders from the raids the dynamax symbol disappeared. Now I can’t use it in the raids.
I got the best Charmander IVs to date so I ended up powering it to level 40 and using Elite TM gah
I haven't seen Beldum. Yet!
What is this video doing in the shorts video format ????
Lvl 3 max move greedent a hundred percent Charizard and a 93% Charizard with proper fast moves was good enough to sweep with no loses
I've had it happen twice now where Beldum barely does any damage to my Pokémon all raid long, but then once two of my Pokémon are down and Charizard is all I have left, Beldum suddenly does HALF of my Charizard's HP worth of damage in one hit. By that point Charizard has already taken enough damage that this makes him faint instantly and I lose.
What. The. Heck?!
Also one time I finally ALMOST beat him, he was in the red... "Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again" and it kicked me out of the raid. FUN.
Same happened to me too, like exactly the same
I had this happen once also, but then a couple more and the damage from Beldum seemed the same throughout. I was thinking he got more powerful as he got lower HP or something... but it isn't consistent.
One charizard at 2000 cp with lvl 3 max attack did about 75% of the damage needed
A charizard at 2490 with lvl 1 max attack took it down.
I can't. I've been playing for 2 mo. Because my daughter wanted me to play. I'm lv 30 I have 3 charmanders dynamax 542ish cp 3* I have 12 candy's and 1,000 stardust. They all die and the boss has 50% hp left.
You should be able to team up with your kid and fight it together.
Your voice sounds scared and robotic.
If you don't have 2 or more Dynamaxed Charizards, 1 Charizard with 2100 CP or higher can still solo it.
gengar and charizard without power ups hard carried, venasaur was there to farm energy
I evolved my good iv dynamax Charmeleon and the dynamax attack switched from max flare to nax airstream 😢
You can just use 2 Charizard with fire spin and fire blast. Incredibly easy
After about 6-7 minutes you get an error that kicks you out of the raid, so there is a time limit whether its intentional or not.
This happened to me too, I was forced to power up my mons to done those raids because of that.
Waiting too long to take out Beldum also causes its moves to deal a lot more damage
How do I solo when I constantly get kicked and "somthing went wrong". But I figured a strat if you max def you can do 3 of those then 3 max strikes then 3 def again you'll never take damage.
yeah, "no stardust or move upgrades" if you already have the mons evolved and invested with dust and upgrades previously :D :D
I thought you were supposed to tap the dynamax energy thing.... I still solo'd 2 beldums today but it was very close with 2 charizards
I just used dynamax charizard the big squirl and charmander and I farmed dynmax and the other two and switched to charizard
You were supposed to power up your Charizard first 😂
These dynamax pokemon are just niantic forcing us more storage space
Anyone else getting booted out of Beldum raids when it reaches red health???
I still don’t understand if I’m making the dynamax happen or if it’s happening automatically
It's automatic when you charge the 'Max Bar' on top of your sceen. Then you can switch when the game is telling you 'Maxing in 3..2..1'
i dont understand the max mp thing ive been up to 1200 everyday ?
The max is normally 800 per day, (1000+ if you do 2km task then 4 Max spots then another 2km) idk if its increased yet
idk how had to use so many mons i had a single lvl 30 zard and took it down
Beldom is easy to solo with just 1 Charizard. Mine is 2500cp and I didn't even lose half of my HP by before beating it
i can solo it with a 1950 blastoise as charger and 2 charmeleon, ive run out of charmander candies
