Onix raid - harder than expected
In partly cloudy weather timed out against Onix, no dodging. Team was L31 WF/HP Gyarados and L31 HP Kyogre and a L25 Kyogre. Then started with Kyogre and continued with L35 FP Venusaur, L35 BS/SOB Exeggutor, that beat Onix with one digit time left. Nearly the same against a SE Onix. Tapping challenge!

I also tried Onix, however with neutral weather. First try was with 37 BS/LB Sceptile+ 5 VW/FP Venu( i used only 3 of them, all are weather boosted catches 30-35 lvls) timed out like 5 sec. Second fight i started with 35 lvl Kyogre and he ate 2/3 Onix hp. Finished with 2 Venusaur,but only with 7 sec left. I did only one dodge with Kyogre to prevent destroy with 90% energy needed for HP. Onix had Tackle/ Heavy Slam.
Hes pretty hard without boosting attackers. I think 30+ Kyogre is a must have and 2nd choice is double water Gyarados( which i unfortunately havent) Dodging hurts attackers, cause he hit with laughable dmg.
Slightly off topic I'm interested to know who wins the DPS race, level 25 kyogre or level 30 gyarados?
Previous questions I've asked gave me responses like L25 Kyogre is similar to L33-34 Gyarados, but i'm sure part of that was due to the bulk upgrade too.
At L25 it's not yet at the supreme point but I could well see it doing more damage than L30 gyarados I reckon? So might be better slotting more WB kyogre than gyarados.
Got my chance at Onix this morning. It took two Pokemon:
Kyogre, Lvl 33 WF/HP
Kyogre, Lvl 31 WF/HP
The first took out about 60% of the health (the first HP from Kyogre #2 put him in the red.) Has 35 seconds left.
Next time, I will try my Double Water Gary instead of the second Mon. This is pretty cheap on Revives and heals, so I will try it with other 2nd Mon as well. Maybe my Lvl 35 Swampert.
I did it with 2x Kyogre L30 and a perfect Gyarados L39 which just finished the last 20% or less. I had 23 seconds on the clock... maybe I was getting hit harder with different boss charge move (I think it was Sand Tomb) and building up energy faster, or I could fire off more Hydro Pumps with the 2nd Kyogre?
