How adventurous are you?

In a raid situation which one of these groups would you use for the majority of your team?

Assume boss is articuno (doesn't have to be, using this as an example), would you use:

Neutral damage and single resist (e.g. Vaporeon) Super effective damage and no resist (e.g. Jolteon) Double super effective but single weak (E.g. Golem)

I do realise there is a 'best of both worlds' for a single resist and single SE (E.g. Flareon Arcanine) but to keep things fair let's assume the above 3 options. Doesn't have to be the 3 pokemon I mentioned.

I used golems (3) when enoght partiy to not have to rejoin. Also if at time limit, since was the top dps and was worth. Used the other at rejoin. Basically almost all the time I used my golems :).

I need to slaughter the raid boss as quick as possible because time is money. Option 3 it is.

It depends on group size more than anything. For large groups where I know it will go down fast, and for minimum size groups for maximum dps I will use a combination of 2 and 3, for comfortable middle ground group I will use a combination of 2 and 1.

Usually 3 of 3, 1 or 2 of 2 and 1 or 2 of 1, however, for some bosses like Raikou where I don't have enough options, I go with whatever I have. So that was 1 MS/EQ rhydon, and the rest MS/SE rhydon and RT/SE golem.

I've found people are less willing to risk not succeeding so surviving is less of an issue now and doing as much damage as possible is what you need to shoot for.

Seems like a year ago, but pretty sure I used Tyranitars with Stone Edge most the time

As far as I remember I used 3 Golems and 3 T-tars VS Articuno. I think I almost got 2 or 3 honor balls (damage bonus) all the time with this lineup.

I can only go by what I used already, no encompassing philosophy. In my area there are never exactly the right number of raiders. Either way too few b/c people busy/scared to drive to the raid or a bunch and it doesn't matter.

I found that Vaporeon isn't going to do much DPS, maybe not even earning you the 1 bonus ball.

So yeah, I think fire is better, Golem is so glassy per experience.

I didn't do that many Articuno raids 9-10, but I only used Golem once...the first time. So whatever option that was, nope. A couple Tyranitar SE, some fire, maybe 1 Vaporeon, one Jolteon--my second 6 would pick Vaporeon and I would stick with it. With Entei I've been doing 3 Dragonite DT/O to start 3350 to 3100 and 3 level 30 Golem 2430 to 2450.

I really cannot recall how I raid Articuno anymore.
