Soloing the new Tier 3 raid bosses

How difficult are they and what attackers do we need?

Alakazam is familiar (and as tough as usual).

The day before Omastar was removed, I caught a wonder Treecko and hatched a perfect Bulbasaur to complete my team for it.

Guess Kabuto would be slightly harder than Omastar (despite both being doubly weak to grass) due to more defensively oriented stats. [EDIT: Got their stats mixed up; Kabutops is more offensively oriented and thus easier.] Onix may be impossible to solo with the same stamina as other tier 3 raid bosses but ridiculous defence.

As for Aerodactyl, I have a TS/WC Raikou, a two WF/HP Gyaradoses, a WG/HP Vaporeon and a RT/SE Golem (all level 30 wonders); wondering what to put last.

I haven't looked into it yet but the Raid Boss Counter list says Kyogre has a ~105% TDO in neutral weather. Onix is double weak to Water, while also being double weak to grass. I see it being beatable, its defense is certainly higher than Claydol's but it also has much lower attack, far less threatening moves, and a double weakness.

Have you got yourself a Aggron or Metagross to round out that Aerodactyl team? Both would make great tanks, especially with steel movesets.

Onix should be cake, as WaterYouWading4 mentioned, due to his double weaknesses to some of the highest DPS mons in the game (Kyogre, Gyarados, Vaporeon, and Venusaur with that absurd charge move). Certainly easier than Claydol.

Omastar and Kabutops will require you to keep an eye on breakpoints, though with FP Venusaurs in your squad they should both be very doable.

Vaporeon is only viable when the 6 damage Water Gun breakpoint is reached, which is only achievable currently in rainy weather.

Kabutops is easier than Omastar and Onix is very doable with specific counters.

We will be updating the raid solo guides tomorrow. Please be sure to check them out.

Kabutops has less defense than Omastar and shares the same double weakness. It's easier, your Omastar team will destroy it.

Onix is doable with level 30 Kyogres or level 35 Kyogre/Gyarados/Venusaur/Exeggutor. Fairly tough.

For Aerodactyl I'm again recommending you to put the DT/OR Dragonite on the last spot. Your team is good enough that you will often not even need the sixth member. Would recommend dodging AP with Gyaradoses and HB with everything.

Beside from Water and Grass type pokes which is the best counter for Omastar, Onix and Kabutops.
You can also choose a Machamp Troops as option:
Omastar, Onix and Kabutops
He can wiped out them all...

I already did it...
Good Luck...

Machamp does not have enough DPS to solo Onix.

Heck yeah! Kabutops is a T3 boss! My dream came true! Now if I could find that raid...

Edit: Aaaand soloed him already. He gave me a CTM and FTM at the same time. And I had enough candy to evolve my Kabuto, so now i got a new project to invest into, to make him a better rock attacker.
