I wouldn't. Not unless it has 90+IV and Swinub are rare in your area. Even then the difference it will make to your existing team in group raids is quite small.

Should I bring him or my RT/RB Omastar in Zappy Raid?

Well Omastar is weak to electric and Piloswine resists it, go figure

Piloswine is immune to Zapdos, meaning it takes (1/1.4)(1/1.4)(1.2, STAB)x damage

Rhydon, anchor it with MS/SE Rhydon as last attacker.

Poison Jab/Stone Edge Nidoqueen is possible for me, along with Stone Edge Piloswine (level 30s)...depending on how many raiders and how long it takes. At some point (when in a small group) I'm going to sacrifice 3, then go back in with my real 6

No.

It deserves as either a defender or a glassy attacker into Fire/Flying raids.

Piloswine evolves to Mamoswine in Gen 4, I think.

Also, there are better ice attackers.

Personally, I wouldn't spend resources on it.

^ this! Especially since you mentioned you need something for Zapdos; if you have an abundance of charge TMs go for it. If not, stone edge still hits SE into Zapdos and it will evolve in gen 4 anyway

Thanks. I'll just use him straight up then

yeah right :), and besides those what else you have at lvl 39? :).

If indeed your question is serious, just use your Dragonites, your Crounch Ttar, the 3 golems, your SE Ttar and probably some Rhydons and that's it. This should be okish also for your part as one of 4 players in a serious team.

Even your Electric specialist would be of help.

So no, I would not risk a sequence of SE <-> Bulldoze on Piloswine in your case.

I don't want to use Dragonites and my question is serious.
Because from my experiences, if you died out 5 good counters you get +3 damage bonus. That's what I'm after. Right now I have 4. So need a fifth one. And I'm REALLY low on Stardust after I brought those Godlems from L20 to 30 and an Omastar from L10 to 30.

Edit: thanks to you, I decided to update my box now...

or direct tot the chart: https://i.redd.it/ndjjto5jd8ez.jpg

Look here, Dragonites are indeed good, not as on other raids. This is the first raid where Dragonite can be a strong second row sitter :).

Fair enough. I'll go with 4 + 2 then.

I deny most of your comments because piloswine with double ice attack with decent attack stat. Even if you got great Dragonite, it won't last longer cuz Piloswine got double resistance from Zapdos, which is more useful than Dragonite. Dragonite should stay in the last spot.

so do you know he is at least a lvl 38 player? Did you look at his pokebox? (click on his user name); with his current pokemons (at least the ones from his box) he will not be able to be part of a 3 man squad vs. Zapdos (neither with Piloswine addition) while will be quite ok as part of a 4 one, so why risking a series of bad charge moves switches?

Why not risking it? The current meta is fine and we all know future is suck under ninatic'a hand. Why not find some useful and powerful for it? For legendary raids. I use my charge TM once and I got Avalanche. Why not?

Probably for diversity worth trying, but no more than twice. If returns to SE then just wait for mamoswine :)

Yeah it's alright. Depend on him

I also have quite a few Charge TMs and thought at using them quite liberaly until I realized I will need them to convert all SE tyra to Crunch for MewTwo :). I decided to keep at least 4 for each Tyra.

thanks for bothering to check my box....but that's outdated.
And I stated in my post that I have 3 Golems at L30. And a Bite / Stone Edge Tyranitar at L30 too. I don't think these four can take out Zapdos before all fainting so I need a fifth good attacker into Zapdos.

and I agian tell that based on what I saw on pokebattler, your Dragontes (I did not check their moves but I guess most of them are double dragon) and your Crunch TTar are worth vs. Zapdos :).
