This build is super consistent. My only issue testing before is that sometimes the Skill Swap would backfire after Typhlosion clears your abilities where you're left without Flash Fire for that one turn. Sometimes this would remain for multiple turns, however since I tested this new approach of waiting out the stat clear and moving immediately I haven't run into that! Apart from that one thing, which is honestly an issue with the raids and not the build's problem, this should be 99.9% consistent! Hope y'all try it out!
@@Arkandy with shell bell on fake tears x2 (you die once) then when come back calm mind twice then shadow ball Spam (terrastialize when you can) optionally hex IF the AI helpers manage to land a status effect like paralyze or poison (hex dies double dmg in that case)
I see. That looks good and its similar to the Annihilape strat (Screech, Rage Fist spam + Tera, maybe faint before Tera). Looks like crits can be a problem before Tera as well. I just wanna say the difference between Giraf and Annihilape/Mane is that it may be a bit slower but completely fail proof vs crits, def drops, everything.
@@Arkandy flutter mane has extremely high sp. Def tho so even stab attacks fluttermane lives thru. As example I survive 2 shadow balls normally (enough to get off two fake tears) and once you start using shadow ball yourself you keep your health up enough to get to terrastilization in which case you start doing monster dmg (like 35% or more of the health bar) Furthermore if there’s para, poison, etc I use Hex (optional fourth move you don’t need this) As shadow ball hits for 80’but hex will hit for 130Ish with a status effect up
Girafarig can also learn Nasty Plot if you didn't know. But Calm Mind scales Stored Power better with the defensive ev spread I recommeded. Anyway, you do you I suppose.
That's true, I've used that in my Tauros-Aqua strat for the Samurott raid. It costs 2 turns and 1 cheer to do that and I think in this case it's better to save the cheers for Stored Power or in case you end up tanking 2 crits in a row. But you can always run what feels best!
Bless this little cup love.

Not bad, I’ll stick with fluttermane tho she destroys this raid so easy lol
Curious, how easy?

I think I'll stick to Houndoom since I'm not a big fan of Calm Mind since Nasty Plot gets me where I need to be faster.

But if u use rest u can use a cheer to wake up pokemon up
