Armored Mewtwo Raid Trio Guide

Pros:

• Great all-around choice, sports high DPS and good TDO in most situations
• Double-resists Psychic Type movsets.

Cons:

• Mythical Pokemon, cannot be traded and candy can be hard to obtain.
• Weak to Dynamic Punch, which ends it very quickly
• Appreciates dodging due to general frailty

Pros:

• Great DPS option, hits extremely hard.
• Resists Iron Tail, double-resists Dynamic Punch. Outstanding choice against this moveset

Cons:

• Weak to Earthquake and Rockslide
• Frail, appreciates dodging
• Currently a rare species, though its pre-evolution has been featured in events and as a tier-1 raid boss.
• Requires a Unova Stone to evolve

Pros:

• Highest potential DPS option, can help get ahead of the clock
• Triple-resists Dynamic Punch, making it an outstand choice against this move
• Common species that has been available since day 1 and has been featured in many events. Most players have one
• Shadow Claw is no longer legacy, meaning any Gengar has the potential to shine

Cons:

• Very poor performance Vs. Confusion, weak to Future Sight and Earthquake.
• Performance varies greatly depending on enemy moveset
• Best performance comes from its exclusive move, Lick
• Frail, appreciates dodging even if it resists the incoming move

Pros:
