    For solo players: Gren resetting your stat changes is based on the timer, so if you just wait that little bit out, you can stat up with no problem since it also won't attack you until you make a move, saving you time and HP!

      @@somejerk5662 you don’t really need weakness policy since that only sets you ahead one turn. A crit might slash can do a lot since it ignores your defense boosts and even a crit hydro pump hurts. In my experience, just going for leftovers is safer since you can heal back a decent amount of the damage you receive and not need to slack off as often.

      The first turn is actually a good chance to use a defense cheer because cheers aren't reset by raid boss stat nullification and then slack off until the stat nullification will usually get you to full health and then you can set up with a bit of extra protection from the cheer you did.

    Interesting thing I’ve noticed with this raid:
    If you team up with a Pokémon that knows intimidate, the timer won’t start until the menu to pick an action appears. But if there is no intimidate ability that starts the battle, the timer will start as soon as Greninja does the first double team.

  • @deerlydeparted56
    @deerlydeparted56 Рік тому +155

    I've been using the slowbro+shell bell but instead of iron defense for turns 1 & 2, using cheers because "removing your stat changes" doesn't take away the effects of cheers - a hang tough turn 1, then go all out turn 2, and another hang tough turn 3, then a slack off on turn 4 (when he will "remove" your stat changes before you can move), then start iron defense x3, nasty plot x3, and stored powers til greninja goes down. Coupled with any intimidate pokemon as your ally, just like with cinderace, this was entirely painless for me and relatively quick. Thanks for all you do Austin!

    Appreciate you going turn by turn and showing the solo battle. I had to improvise the order a bit and add some more slack offs, but the comments that said Greninja resetting your stats was based on the timer really saved me.
    One run I missed every stored power and had to restart because I ran out of PP.
    The very next run I hit every stored power and greninja missed almost every hydro pump and never crit me with night slash, so I caught it!

    Turn 1: Toxic Spikes and Double Team

    Turn 6: Shield Up
    Turn 12: Cleanse Debuffs
    After Shield Down: Double Team
    After hitting 1/4 HP: Double Team
    Currently I am using Bellibolt who synergizes decently well with the Clodsires, Slowbros and Toxapex that are being used. Special mention to Gastrodons who use Mud Slap, Chilling Water and Clear Smogs at correct times so that I never miss and become invincible since Hydro Pump is a 3hko on Bellibolt (5 if you use Assault Vest), which means you never die if the Double Teams are cleansed. Doesn't even matter if it is neutral SpD, Bellibolt wins the War of Attrition.

    Thank you for saving out sanity. I should have known to follow your builds again, but thought I'd test out another... regret soon followed lol. I made x2 of each Clodsire, Klefki and Toxtricity that I created from another youtuber build over the last few days and sadly with just my Hubby and I we couldn't bring Greninja down. We tried multiple move combos and different mixes of the three pokemon but it just became more and more frustrating. Maybe we were just unlucky and ran out of heals or missed connecting hits too often. We ended up using your x2 Slowbrow (that we honestly didnt make last time but were using Charcadet and Iron Moth worked out good for our Cinderace runs) and ko'd him much easier and less stressful. We only tend to play just the two of us and you honestly haven't let us down with your guidance. Thank you

    I used the move strategy listed at 9:02 and it worked out for me (caught in a Dive Ball, which I think fits the coloration well enough), though had to try it two times. What's weird though is that after the Slack Off, it doesn't immediately Remove Opponent Stats. Best edit to that strategy is that, after the Slack Off, wait a bit for the Greninja to get off the Stat Removal and then do the Iron Defense, Nasty Plot, Stored Power.

    Gastrodon is unstoppable. EVs to Def and Sp Def. Storm drain. Mud-slap, clear smog, earth power and whatever. Quiet nature. Holding zoom lens. Start with clear smog then spam mud slap. Tera to ground and switch to earth power. Storm drain has prob boosted your Sp attack a couple times by then. The slap works. I just mud slap again after the shield breaks and then go to town. Can drop his accuracy faster than he can raise evasiveness. Survivability is great. Have even carried a bunch of randos in multi several times with it.

    I caught mine in a luxury ball just like Charizard and Cinderace. I just figure I wanted them all in matching balls and luxury balls just kinda fit the vibe of being like high class and stuff, which the 7 star raid Pokemon feel like. I used Slowbro to win but I was struggling in solo because of double team (I missed half my attacks) so I went online and did it with some random players on Discord. The other players had Lucario, Clodsire, and Gastrodon I think. The shield ended up breaking right before I hit 12 buffs and I one shot it from there.

    I soloed with the slowbro build I used with Cenderace. It’s time consuming, but completely doable. It does have night slash, but you just might have to use slack off a couple times. It will de buff you once early, but after that, just business as usual, 3 iron defense, 3 buffs to your attack then stored power till you knock it off

    Tips from a Greninja raid slayer:
    1. Gastradon is more reliable than Slowbro.
    2. For Gastradon EV's: Max Special attack and make both Def and Sp. Def in the 200's.
    3. Give Gastradon a leftover tool
    4. Be sure Gastradon's teratype is earth and that it knows earth power (this TM lowers opponent's Sp. Def everytime it inflicts damage).
    5. If your playing online be sure to have a bulky party but also make sure at least one of the party members doesn't have any water absorb ability so Greninja will casually use water attacks for your Gastradon to absorb it. This will raise Gastrodon's Sp. Attack.
    6. Spam earth power and be sure to terastalize ASP. Hitting the Greninja 8 times with Earth power while terastalizing usually knocks Greninja out.

    Another idea which could be a funny gimmick is to use an Avalugg with the Sturdy ability, and hold Shell Bell, and have Mirror Coat. Just make sure that the other Pokemon in the raid have Intimidate so it will be forced to use it's special move on you. Just use mirror coat, shell bell restores your health back to full health, repeat.

    • @DemonVermin
      @DemonVermin Рік тому

      Unfortunately Shell Bell heals for 1/8 of the damage dealt, so you will never heal to full. You are basically healing 2HP/8, so you’ll get 1/4 of your hp back.

    Here's a thought: Why not try having Slowbro hold Weakness Policy? After turn 3 Greninja will still try and hit you with Night Slash, it'll waste fewer turns for setup and further increase the power of Stored Power. Just may need another turn of Slack Off. I went in without Shell Bell and I still came out alright.
    Edit: Nope, sorry. I never use held items and it didn't say that it gets used up after the first super effective hit, although I should have known. My bad. Do not use this, it's pointless.

It’s already max defense and with 2 CPU Intimidators, Greninja’s attack was real low. Amnesia helped with Hydro Pumps. Stored Power eventually did the trick. You just need to be lucky to not miss due to double team or get crit by Night Slash too much. Crazy that Azumarill and Slowbro took down 3 level 100 raids between them for me haha!

    Friend of mine came up with a good pokemon build
    Klefki
    Nature: Sassy/Calm
    Tera Type: Not important
    Ability: Prankster
    Item: Leftovers
    EVs: Max HP, Max Sp. Def, rest in Sp. Atk
    IVs: Everything but Atk and Speed
    Moves: Metal Sound, Calm Mind, Iron Defense, Stored Power
    Strat: Start with as many Metal Sounds as you can land before he resets your stats (may not be much, it doesn't have the best accuracy and he's got that first Doube Team as well). Setting yourself up now is pointless.
    After he does the reset, start building up Calm Mind. After 3 or 4, he'll switch from Hydro Pump to Night Slash, which won't do much due to Klefki being Fairy-type.
    Continue setting up with Calm Mind and Iron Defense until Def, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def are at max, then go wild with Stored Power. If you need to, throw in a healing cheer when necessary.
    This should net you a win.
