Jolteon and Flareon solo raids
Before we had Groudon and Kyogre, it was almost impossible to solo Jolteon and Flareon. Would it be much easier if they are raid bosses today?
Answers
Jolteon was not almost impossible but actually impossible, no one ever pulled it off and sims said it couldn't be done.
Flareon would be easier than Ninetails with Garys (deals more consistent damage so better energy generation) and trivial with Kyogres. Jolteon would be doable with Groudons, maybe Mewtwos and with weather probably Dragonites too.
Pokebattler says about 260 secs to beat, so no.
But, Acid/LB Wectreebel vs. Con/Psy M2 at windy is "only" 226 secs and Snarl/Megahorn Absol vs. Machamp with C/DP takes 211 secs according to pokebattler and it sound very close to timelimit. If game will be on your side (this means no charged attacks from Absol during the battle), which simetimes occurs, I mean it is beatable in limit. Another thing is, if you didn't receive charged attack, that "only" 6 maxed 100% machamps needed to win (no extra switching time). This all is only theory, of course. ;-)
No, Absol is by far the easiest T4 we have ever had and it is not possible. A maxed perfect lineup of champs in cloudy weather cannot do it. However it is close enough that if a second person using 6 hatched hitmons could probably finish it together.
All the T4’s can be beaten by 2 people. However, Some, like Aggron are pretty much up to luck even with perfect counters.
On one hand, since those eevee evolutions were bosses, we now have stronger possible counters.
On the other hand, I would prefer to see one or two current L4 bosses even marginally possible.
Team raids are fine and all, but those unable to team, should have a chance at any boss if they are willing to commit the time and resources.
