Anticipating Legendary Raid Bosses

My ideas on what to have ready for battle in anticipation of Legendaries being released as raid bosses.
Legendary Weakness Mon
Articuno- 2X Rock - Golem: Elec - Jolteon: Fire - Flareon
Zapdos- Rock - Golem: Ice - Lapras, Jynx
Moltres- 2X Rock- Golem: Elec - Jolteon: H2O - Vape
Mew/Mewtwo- Bug - Pinsir: Dark - T'tar: Ghost - Gengar

For Gen 2
Lugia - Dark, Elec, Ghost, Ice, Water as listed above
Celebi - 2X Bug, dark, fire, ghost, ice, (all listed above, plus poison - Victreebel
Ho-Oh - 2X rock, Elec, and Water as listed above
Raikou - Ground - Rhydon
Entei - Ground, rock, water
Suicune - Elec, and Grass - Eggy

So it looks like the staples will be:
Golem, Jolteon, Flareon, Vape, T'Tar, Pinsir, Gengar, Lapras/Jynx, Eggy, Rhydon, Victreebel.

Scizor with bug moves will be an MVP

The only legendary with any weakness to steel is Articuno.... With double rock weaknesses, Golem is the favorite counter there.

He meant bug moves. So it's 2x effective vs celebi and SE vs the psychics. Also has a ton of resistances except fire. Def the superior choice over pinsir kuz of its resistances.

AH.... I didn't read the typo!
I agree then.

Disagree. Golem is weak to ice and doubly weak to water. The CP is a bit lower, but Kabutops with Stone Edge is a Articuno killer, doing double rock damage and resisting ice and water. Golem will slaughter Moltres, and be solid against Zapdos, but not great against Articuno, who should end up being Lapras on steroids.
