Claydol solo All non-max pokemon & no weather boost

Today I managed a claydol solo without any maxed out Pokémon, No MewTwo, and no weather Boost. It can be done!!!

Team vs Extrasensory/Gyro Ball:
Lv 35 B/C Ttar
Lv 35 H/SB Gengar
Lv 36 W/HP Kyogre
Lv 37 W/HP Gyarados

I won on my fourth try. The key was getting 2 HP off with Gary, through a combination of Ttar dying quickly and switching from Kyogre with >30s left.

Nice, I'm surprised you started with the ttar since he is probably the slowest in the team.

I knew that he would die relatively quickly and would have much more reliable DPS than any 1-bar charge move mon. I also wanted the option of switching out of kyo and Gary if needed.

Very interesting, I might give it a shot myself imitating this LU. Thanks! Finally a reason to invest candies in Kyogre.

Why do you think it is key switching out Kyogre. Is it for the simple reason that he wouldn't be able to put off another hydro pump?

The prior two attempts ended with Claydol having almost no health left and Gyarados had a nearly full energy bar. So I learned that in order to get off two HP with Gyarados it had to come in with greater than 30 seconds. The damage of the HP would more than compensate for the lost waterfalls during the switch and would more than likely get the win. In the winning attempt Kyogre just happened to die before 30s so the switch wasn't necessary, but I had it in my mind as the key to the win so I still did it.

I put all my attempt side by side here (they obviously aren't ordered properly): https://youtu.be/l92l8vfA6Gs
