Skarmory solo

Unexpectedly difficult. Did no research before. Chose my best fire and electric. Used my Sinnoh stone for Rhypherior so no Electivire, but hard to believe that it’s considered better than Raikou with marginally better DPS and a lot less TDO. Might be because DPS is the limiting factor, took it down with exactly 5 pokémons with 0-1 sec left. Team below, all level 30.5, except Charizard at level 35.

Edit: Charge move Sky Attack.

Thank you for the useful information. I've been holding off fighting one, didn't want to freeze my ass of for nothing. Also holding off with powering up an additional Raikou, but this has convinced me to do so. As I have been lacking the last few days with a researche quest, I'm not anywhere near a stone yet for Electivire and I've still got 200+ Raikou candies from back in the days.

Cheers

Good choice, I’ve never regretted having 2 Raikous (and 3 Kyogres) at level 30. Skarmory was a welcome addition to this extremely boring boss-pool.

Overheat on Moltres specially on sunny weather would have saved you some time for sure, but as you said, DPS is king in raids.
I remember the Onix solo was "difficult" in neutral weather and Claydol was impossible for me without sunny weather not because i wiped out but because the time ran out.
Electrivire is my next sinnoh stone evolution for sure, since i lack the rare candy to power up more Raikou atm

Sky Attack is by far the most difficult charge move for Skarmory solo. Definitely I want try this one. Tomorrow I'll be evolving my Electabuzz.

Thanks for the info.

Nice! I just did this raid last night, finishing with ~20 second left using the following team.

Cloudy weather so nothing was boosted. Boss had Sky Attack.

(Kanske körde vi på samma Gym t.o.m, haha. Verkar dock som du körde senare. ;)

Tjena Jonatan!

Schysst lag där. Nu har jag min Electivire i alla fall. Har ni nån raid-chat för centrum (nån annan än den på messenger som bara spammas hela tiden)?

De enda raid-chatter (Messenger) jag är med i är Mystic Raid (aktiv men är mer en Mystic general discussion än en raid-chat) samt GBG lvl 4 & 5 Raid Grupp1 och Grupp2 (ganska dåligt med aktivitet i dessa.) Discord kanalen Pokemon Go Raiders Göteborg är helt död.

Ok, det låter ju inte bättre än PoGo Raids där det ändå skickas en del raids även om skitsnacket dominerar. Messenger Lunden/Bagaregården funkar riktigt bra.

Better power up those legendaries to at least level 35 or you need a full team of Moltres at level 30.

Well, they managed to beat a Sky Attack Skarmony so I really don’t need to power them up any more right now...

Agree!! This was fun, failed first raid, revamped team and completed next day - boss had brave bird, I don't think i have enough firepower to beat sky attack reliably - had 3-4 sec left on the clock...
