Which Pokemon do you think clears the 7 Star Blastoise Raid the fastest? UPDATE: Stored Power increases in power by 20 for every stage not 50. Also Speed Boost is likely the better ability here. Use Calm Mind 4 times Use Stored Power 3 times Terastallize and use Stored Power twice. Do not break shield. Wait until Blastoise nullifies your stat changes Use Calm Mind 6 times (Mix in a Lumina Crash in with the Calm, Mind for some healing if needed) Use Lumina Crash until you break Blastoise's Shield Use Stored Power once or twice to get the win UPDATE: Speed Boost provides better stored power bonus than Oppurtunist
I've been using Gallade. He beats the raid with around 50-60% of the timer still up consistently, which is the fastest I've seen out of the options. 252 Atk/SpDef, Adamant Nature, Sharpness ability, Tera Fighting, Shell Bell item Moves: Sacred Sword, Swords Dance, Mystical Fire Strategy: 3x Mystical Fire 3x Swords Dance 1x Attack Cheer Tera + Sacred Sword to end of raid Only possible thing that can mess it up is if Blastoise gets a crit at certain times during the raid, but I haven't had that problem yet. Super easy!
Fun fact: Shell Smash CAN be skipped if Paralysis triggers. This works but damage control in the start is really important cuz Stored Power can exceed specially if Blastoise abuses Iron Defense.
This was my strat but a couple of streamers I follow disregarded it because it's not super effective when it's actually incredible by using Lumina Crash reducing two levels the special defense. I'm basically soloing over and over using my Espathra.
I beat Blastoise solo with Gastradon. Build: Max Sp Def and Max Sp Attack. Tera-earth Ability-storm drain. Item-Shell bell. Moves: apply mudslap until you can terastalize then spam earth power which will K.O. Blastoise.
Worked Great both times for me! I used a Heal Shout in the "wait for Blastoise to negate your stats" part to top Espathra off, and it worked great. I also used Speed Boost.
Excellent ideas! The cheer instead of just waiting is smart. Speed boost helps stored power more than Oppurtunist! It gets you +6 stages. I didn’t realize until after this video oops! 😆
Thx for the guide, used my old Espathra that I used for Cinderace raid a long time ago. The stat EV isn't exactly following the guide (max hp instead of spdef) since its a long time ago, so kind of scary early game when your sp def isn't up yet, but a couple of healing cheer does the trick, and I'm lucky to have NPC Gardevoir uses Life Dew
I know it's probably not super accessible, only from PLA really but Manaphy has been really good for me, it barely takes any damage and with Tail Glow, Fake Tears (after shield) and Surf, it finishes the raid with plenty of time left
I need to try this build I tried the Vaporeon one and it worked perfectly. The only thing I would recommend people with the Vaporeon is to give it PP up on sunny day and also weather ball
I know you have opportunist as it's ability, but speed boost can help buff stored power, and maybe have protect on the nullify turn, that could help i think.
I think Slowking can run it pretty fast. Either form, but haze with Galar is really nice to have. They are both very bulky and can tera fighting for a pretty quick win. Nasty plot, amnesia, haze, tera blast fighting.
Arceus - Fist Plate and Tera type Fighting •Earth Power 3 times to build Tera and possibly lower Blastoise's Special Defense •Tera into Fighting •Calm Mind 3 times to build your special attack and defense •Judgement usually breaks the shield in 2 hits •Judgement after the shield is down until your stats are nullified •Calm Mind 3 more times (or up to 5 if you feel like being a bully) •Recover any time your health is in range of being KO'd by a CRIT •Judgement again •GG
It is +20, not +50, he probably got it mixed up, Shell Smash is still a +120 BP increase for this build, on top of the +40 from each Calm Mind you use. It's still pretty strong nonetheless, just not as crazy as bro was implying when he said +50. Also, with each +2 to SpAtk, you are adding +100% damage increase on top, so it snowballs pretty fast.

hold up. Opportunist gives 4 extra stages, 2 in speed and 2 in attack because of shell smash. Wouldn't the speed boost ability give 6 stages in speed giving more power to stored power than the 4 stages from opportunist?
The modest nature and I don’t have any EVs in it. It also doesn’t have perfect ivs. If your attack stat is higher that’s OK, it won’t harm you vs Blastoise 😁
@@dansquared___ yea I manage to win first try but very differently, I triggered rain dance and broke the shield at the wrong time before the nullification
With the right build I've actually had a quicker and easier time with Blastoise. I ran Chesnaught on Venusaur as well which worked 95% of the time, but every once in a while RNG would get me. With Blastoise, I've ran Gallade and it beats it faster than Chesnaught could beat Venusaur, and more consistently.
@@sylvieshuu i done venasaur in roughly the same time with chestnaught! My best run was half time left with a rework on my moveset.. im rebuilding my gallade cause i didnt have sharpness and you cant get it with an ability patch! Gallades abilities are steadfast and justified.. to get sharpness you need a trace ralts
@@davidbowerman3089 Hopefully the Gallade works well for you! I've wouldn't have switched to Blastoise so soon if I didn't think it was as easy as Venusaur, if not more so :)
@@sylvieshuu i caught it last night before dan revised the build i had gallade with steadfast ability but i wanted the 1.5x damage I recon when i get this build setup perfectly it'll be easy! Every raid is easy when you know how to do it

I've been using this bad boy as a support mon. Tera water to get away from hydropump.
Yeah I rather use mew
I've been using Gallade. He beats the raid with around 50-60% of the timer still up consistently, which is the fastest I've seen out of the options.
252 Atk/SpDef, Adamant Nature, Sharpness ability, Tera Fighting, Shell Bell item
Moves: Sacred Sword, Swords Dance, Mystical Fire
Strategy:
3x Mystical Fire
3x Swords Dance
1x Attack Cheer
Tera + Sacred Sword to end of raid
Only possible thing that can mess it up is if Blastoise gets a crit at certain times during the raid, but I haven't had that problem yet. Super easy!
I provide my is slow a bit my mew

Well look who is laughing now! You had the right idea this build is AWESOME! A proud DANimal sourced build. That’s why our community is the BEST🥳🥳🥳
@@dansquared___ Best of all is the style of the head that Espathra has, can't wait to see you copying that Dan 😌😌

Woah that’s impressive! I’ve been using it in group raids! Didn’t realize the slug can solo! Thanks for sharing!

I'm laughing that Tatsugiri was actually able to solo
I think I’m the preview I said “this won’t be able to solo” LOL well done 😂😂😂
Here me out on this. Contrary malomar with skill swap. No more turbo turtle time.
Edit: what about "My sun rises, your sun sets. Good night. (Boom)."
I love the contrary Pokémon I will have to try this - this is very interesting - contrary iron defense to make it weak!
I’ll have to try that one out
@dansquared___ probably start with super power to take advantage of the ability while you're stuck with it.
I know it's probably not super accessible, only from PLA really but Manaphy has been really good for me, it barely takes any damage and with Tail Glow, Fake Tears (after shield) and Surf, it finishes the raid with plenty of time left
Manaphy is an elite support Pokémon! Love it 🔥🔥🔥
Me and the boys did a fun raid 4 galarian zapdos and just spammed thunderous kick for the win but hitting a focus energy turn 1
Immaculate vibes there. What’s better than this, guys being dudes 🤝🤝
These raids are so fun bc of these videos!!
Thank you so much! This means a lot to me! I love these raids 💙
I need to try this build I tried the Vaporeon one and it worked perfectly. The only thing I would recommend people with the Vaporeon is to give it PP up on sunny day and also weather ball
Espathra is a ton of fun, it sneakily does a ton of damage. Vaporeon is one of my g favorites here 💪
The fact you’ve found not very effective mon to destroy a difficult 7 star raid is impressive
Thank you! DANything is possible 🥳🥳
I know you have opportunist as it's ability, but speed boost can help buff stored power, and maybe have protect on the nullify turn, that could help i think.
That’s a good move honestly - the +6 speed would be higher then the +4 we get from shell smash. Well done you are on a hot streak 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ya speed boost espartha annihilates this raid
Catch phrase “you should have never squared up”
I’ll give this one a go 🤝

Thanks it was suggested by a DANimal! 🥳🥳🥳

Used the Espathra (which I nicknamed ‘EspaDAN’) build to solo Blastoise, it worked exactly how I wanted it to go 👌

Are you sure stored power increases by 50 for every state increase? I thought it was 20 per stat increase. I think should check that.
It is +20, not +50, he probably got it mixed up, Shell Smash is still a +120 BP increase for this build, on top of the +40 from each Calm Mind you use. It's still pretty strong nonetheless, just not as crazy as bro was implying when he said +50. Also, with each +2 to SpAtk, you are adding +100% damage increase on top, so it snowballs pretty fast.
You are correct - I am incorrect. It’s up 20 every time. I mixed it up with rage fist
You are correct! I got mixed up with Annihilape’s rage fist 😆
I love using this pokemon! Yes!
Me too! So fun🥳
I finally got my Blastoise on both Scarlet & Violet using Gallade and incase anyone is wondering Sneasler works well for this raid
Well done! What’s the Sneasler build ?

You are correct - Speed Boost is better than Oppurtunist. 2 extra stages and guaranteed higher speed even if you mess up the timing 🔥🔥🔥
Dan I used bottle caps to hyper train and I maxed out special attack and Hp. It my special defense is only 198…how can I increase this?
Ah I see! If you maxed out special attack you will have to use a fresh start mochi to reset your EVs then ev train again
For pokeball recommendations I have either the heavy ball or the lure ball. I'm going heavy since I never use them.
Heavy ball is too perfect here 🔥🔥
Nah, I think I'd stick to Sunny Ball Vaporeon that uses Wish instead of Fake Tears to make Sunny Day last longer with Heat Rock.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Nice build 💪
BETTER THAN VAPOREON!
Rapid Urshafu
Focus energy
Sword dance
Drain punch
Low sweep if needed ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Dan hope you see this
❤❤❤
That build rocks thanks for sharing 🥳 I’ll try to make more build shorts for the next raid 👀
Interesting build
Thanks for your support 💙
“And that’s another sun eclipsed”. New here, don’t know if it works with the theme you trying to go for
All ideas are good ideas! Welcome to the DANimal Kingdom I appreciate it 🥳🥳
I am Sun Dan so I need a SUNPUN
I feel like light screen or roost could be 4th attack and useful during stall time… no?
I’m using sunny fire vaporeon.
Yeah those would be useful additions - the 4th move slot could be something useful for group raids maybe
Always a great choice 💪
personally because i'm running low on xp candies i use iron hands drain punch focus energy scoped lens can u make a build for it thank you
Just add Belly Drum and Max Attack and Special Defense 😎
Iron Hands is a solid choice 💪
Just did a 1 shot on the Blastoise. Tried to join discord link wouldn't work

Put mew on this I used mew and it worked here's what moves you need
Tera fighting mew
Sunny day
Light screen
Calm mind
And
Aura sphere
We called mew before blastoise launched.. i will use this build when i finishes work.. need them vitamins lol
Mew is always there for us 💙
This is also good for lucario build too, same ev and moves
