Preparing for the Dynamax Raikou Raid

Before you jump into the raid, it's super important to prep properly. A little planning goes a long way when you're battling a legendary Pokemon. Understanding Raikou's weaknesses is the first step. Raikou is an Electric-type Pokemon, which means it's vulnerable to Ground-type moves. Keep this in mind while building your team, as it will be the key to victory. Look for high-CP Ground-type attackers, and power them up if you can! Remember, maximizing your damage output will increase your chance of successfully completing the raid. Next up, ensure you have enough Raid Passes and your team is ready for battle. Also, make sure you have a stable internet connection. Nothing is worse than getting disconnected in the middle of a raid. Finally, familiarize yourself with the raid lobby and how to join remote raids if you're not raiding in person. Coordinating with other trainers, either in person or remotely, is crucial for a successful raid. Don't be afraid to communicate with others, and remember to have fun! Don't forget to check the weather conditions, as weather boosts can significantly affect both your attackers' and Raikou's power. Sunny or clear weather boosts Fire-type attacks (which Raikou can use), while partly cloudy weather boosts Rock-type attacks. Consider these weather factors when selecting your counters and planning your strategy. Take some time to review your Pokemon storage, making sure you have enough space for the Pokemon you might catch. Having enough free storage is key, so you don't miss out on a legendary opportunity!

Best Counters for Dynamax Raikou

Alright, let's get into the best Pokemon to bring to this raid. Since Raikou is an Electric-type, you'll want to focus on Ground-type attackers. Here are some of the top picks, and I'll explain why they're effective.

  • Groudon: A true powerhouse with high attack stats, Groudon is a fantastic choice, especially if it knows the move, Precipice Blades. Its Ground-type moves are super effective against Raikou. If you have a high-CP Groudon, definitely bring it to the raid!
  • Excadrill: Excadrill is another excellent Ground-type attacker. Excadrill is a Steel/Ground-type Pokemon that can deal some serious damage with its fast and charged moves.
  • Rhyperior: Rhyperior is a Rock/Ground-type Pokemon. Rhyperior is durable and can withstand some of Raikou's attacks while dishing out heavy damage with Ground-type moves.
  • Landorus (Therian Forme): With its high attack stats and access to powerful Ground-type moves, Landorus (Therian) is a top-tier counter. If you have one, definitely use it!
  • Garchomp: Although Garchomp is a Dragon/Ground-type, it can still deal massive damage with its Ground-type moves. Its high attack stats make it a great addition to any team.

Remember to check the movesets of your attackers. Make sure they have Ground-type charged moves like Earthquake, Earthquake, or Precipice Blades to maximize your damage output. When selecting your team, think about a balance between attack power and durability. Also, be mindful of the number of trainers you're raiding with, as this affects how many powerful attackers you will need. Consider using a team of 4-6 trainers, where each player brings 4-6 counters for the best chance of success. Also, don't be afraid to experiment with different team compositions to find what works best for you and your friends!

Raid Strategy and Tips

Here's a simple strategy to follow to help you win the raid and some useful tips.

  • Team Composition: Focus on bringing Ground-type Pokemon with strong attacks. Ensure your team is powered up to their maximum potential. Have a balanced team with high attack and high durability.
  • Weather Boosts: Pay attention to the weather. Consider weather boosts when choosing your attackers and strategizing.
  • Battle Strategy: Coordinate with other trainers, and try to dodge charged attacks when necessary. Focus on dealing maximum damage as quickly as possible to defeat Raikou before the time runs out. Use your charged moves as often as possible to keep the pressure on Raikou.
  • Communication: Communicate with other trainers in the raid to coordinate your attacks and strategy. If you're raiding remotely, make sure you're connected with trainers. Coordinate your attacks and strategies for the best results.
  • Best Buddies: If you have Pokemon with the best buddy boost, consider bringing them as they can increase their CP and damage output during the raid.

Maximizing Your Chances of Catching Raikou

  • Golden Razz Berries: Use Golden Razz Berries to increase your catch rate. They significantly improve your chances of catching Raikou. Prioritize using these berries on your throws.
  • Excellent Throws: Aim for excellent throws. They give you the highest bonus to your catch rate. Focus on getting the timing and placement right for those excellent throws.
  • Curveballs: Curveballs can increase your chances. Try to learn the curveball technique.
  • Patience: Don't get discouraged if you don't catch Raikou on your first try. Keep practicing, and eventually, you'll get it. Remember, you'll have multiple chances to catch Raikou during the raid period. So, stay positive and keep trying!
