It's going to have a nice movepool. Flamethrower and Iron Head, along with Dragon Dance, Breaking Swipe and Dragon Ascent. This will help give it a boost and nerf attackers while giving it an advantage against Fairy types. Bulk Up could be a nice additional along with Thunder Wave, Wild Charge, Earthquake, Avalanche, Brick Break, Rock Slide, Body Slam, and Rest, maybe Waterfall, Crunch, Tailwind, Ice Beam and Ancient Power. These give it options, but some feel 7* rather than 5* options. I wonder if we will get raids for other Legends across the 18 types? Deoxys 7* raid that only Rayquaza can enter, giving it the mightiest Mark.
I would LOVE for more legendary raids!! You are so right it has so many good moves to pull from! It for sure will be tougher than your average 5 Star raid 🔥
I’m using archaludon because it has breaking swipe + stamina + body press. Rayquaza has very trash flying stab unless it wants to either be special or dragon ascent, which will make it easier to solo
This is not very creative, but Bold nature Mew with Fairy Tera with moves Acid Spray, Nasty Plot, Iron Defense & Draining Kiss. The idea is to use Acid Spray & Nasty Plot to compound the special damage, and Draining Kiss will restore your health while whittling away Rayquaza’s health. Iron Defense is in case Rayquaza uses Swords/Dragon Dance (it does not learn Nasty Plot).
Amour age is another build I’m considering, as it has decent Defense as well as Sp Attack. It also learns Clear Smog, with resets the stat boosts in case it Swords/Dragon Dances. It also learns Acid Spray, and you can use Tera Blast for Fairy or Ice Tera types. And if you use Ice Tera, it’s Flash Fire ability could come in handy if Rayquaza uses a Fire-type move.
Im going to use Calyrex Ice tera ice, i think its one of the best choice. It have good bulk with a good ice stab. It only lack of resistances on fly and dragon but with the trick room he should be able to outspeed Rayquaza
I used Cloyster for Unovan Samurott. But I had Shell Armor instead of Skill Link, because that gimmick was Focus Energy critting. Rock Tera Rock Blast was a fun way to raid. After going through Torterra with Haunter, I'm a big fan of the unique builds, so I'm really hoping Skill Link Cloyster is possible here.
@ there’s a place for both. Nice and easy for those who like to swoop in and be one in done. While others like to find as many wild ways as possible :)
Had the script written Monday. I wanted to get it out then. But my day job kicked my butt this week LOL. Appreciate the kind words. I could not be more excited. We are so back
I'd figure Hoopa for synergy since it summons a shiny Ray in its movie ._. Deoyxs doesn't make as much sense as Groudon or Kyogre but Hoopa makes more sense than they do purely due to Hoopa's movie.
OK so I don’t have the most experience planning for raid events but a Pokémon that’s worked well for me in the past is Clawitzer(support/Attacker) Invested mostly in its defences and with the ability mega launcher it’ll boost the Effects of heal pulse (assuming it still does this it should be a 75% heel with each use With this abilities are effects ) then when I’m not healing my allies I go for dragon pulse which also is boosted by mega launcher and I spam this attack while holding metronome which slightly boosts the damage each time it’s used in succession. This strategy has worked pretty well for me in the past especially when I have a belly drum ally. But you guys are the experts what do you think of this for this event?
it’s actually my favourite evolution line.It’s the only one with access to the mega launcher/heal pulse strategy (Without the use of skill swap). The coverage of pulse Moves it gets is also pretty nice. mega launcher also works with aura sphere It’s kind of like a bargain bin mega Blastoise
@ a clefairy with magic guard and a corvonight with the other magic armour (I don’t know what the ability is called) and clefairy might get immune against rayquaza because of ability swap
@@gfriesen17 as you should!!! Online raids with randoms are chaos. Can’t wait to figure out how to solo once the raid starts! EDIT: group raids on my streams/Discord rock also because we can coordinate
Yeah i was able to translate it from Japanese, it was a points voucher for their local promo, got a deoxys out of it. Just gotta prepare for the raid now.
Can mimikyu help in this raid with play rough sword dance and iron defense so it’s defense is not bad and terrible but what could I replace with dazzling gleam but can mimikyu still be resting the dragon moves with it but I do have Archaludon Steel and dragon his Tera is dragon I do 50 or more fairy shards and steel and they are both level 100 and mimikyu dose lurns charm to lower down its you know attack so yea

Hey, DanSquared, I just caught a Baxcalibur in a Raid a couple days ago. I need your help with IV Training it to help take on Rayquaza tomorrow, but would you recommend it?? I'll give you its Nature and stats a bit later, but it's Ice Tera Type and Level 75. Sorry for waiting so long to contact you about this, I've been really busy IRL. Try to respond back when you can today, I'll be in touch. Thanks!
Hello! Baxcalibur may work! We don’t know until tomorrow. I would hold off on training it until the raid starts so you don’t waste resources 😊 join a raiding stream over the next few weeks!
@dansquared___ Great call! I'll be signing up for the Nintendo Switch Online Free Trial again tomorrow ASAP. Once I do, I'll be sure to immediately reply to this comment so I can try to join you in taking down Rayquaza after you help me with IV Training. Sound good??
Actually, I'll do it on Friday, but try to respond to my previous comment above ASAP, thanks! Btw, how do I join the raiding stream?? Nvm, I don't do Discord.
If it is purely physical without earthquake archaludon could work. Pure support mew with lunge would be good support. Azumarril I don’t see working without life dew support or someone using reflect. I thought this was gonna be seven star normal Tera.
What are you building to take on Shiny Rayquaza? Don't miss the night one stream! th-cam.com/users/liveumseAT1lkPs

Archaludon is the PERFECT counter for Rayquaza.
And now I just gotta train mine to lvl 100 and EV train it,great

Bridge may be
Great shout!! If it doesn’t have dragon pulse the bridge is big chillin
I already had Magearna built in preparation for 7 ⭐ (before we found out it would be 5 ⭐)
Oooo I wanna try Magearna too let's go!!!
@@WolfDragonTamer this should be an elite solo choice for anyone who has one!
When it’s time to raid, my homies n I gonna jump him with a raquaza squad
@@y3llowpersuasionz18 LET’S GO we gotta dominate Ray Ray
@ my luxury ball is waiting for him
for the alcremie you can use misty terrain instead of acid armor, and this will lessen the amount of damage that rayquaza can do to you.
Solid option so long as your teammates aren’t already immune (fairy types)
@@dansquared___ I'm just saying for those who do not have the liberty of online so that the other ones do not faint as easily (me)
@@TheRealZorua ah if your AI ally teameates get knocked out the bar does not go down 😁
Pretty good picks.. thought a few more ice types would be in the mix due to quad effective moves
Tera Dragon*
Think it's for the fairy boost but ye it'll be interesting to see what everyone ends up using
@@davidbowerman3089 thanks! For sure will sprinkle in some more non fairies in a follow up closer to the event
Only times 2 weakness in the Tera raid
Yeah, I completely forgot that..
Might try galarian weezing

I believe misty terrain can be helpful if Rayquaza get a rest spot like Mewtwo
So true!!
Diancie can be a good build if there is no steel moves
Oh big time 🔥🔥🔥
@@Diancie86 however not many people have Diance
Glad it isn't a 7 star tera raid, it would be a literal hell

Hope for shiny Diancie raid
thanks bro
My pleasure 😊
So I'm not the only one who has a primarina ready 👀
Also, I'm fully expecting us to get oof-ed turn 0 by dragon ascent
I haven't bred one yet either
Or dragon dance could be a nightmare aha

Missed klefki man. Iron defense calm mind stored power and draining kiss.

Is metagross good this raid? I really want to use my shiny metagross for this raid.
It could be ok in group raids! It doesn’t get a lot of great stat boosting moves for raids

Heck yeah!!!
@@dansquared___indeed
im gonna use a max lvl mimikyu with shadowclaw shadowsneak playrough and swordsdance idk how many ivs and jolly nature what do u think?

Go on 👀
@ a clefairy with magic guard and a corvonight with the other magic armour (I don’t know what the ability is called) and clefairy might get immune against rayquaza because of ability swap

It’s my job to know 🤝
tbh you could probably solo with anything as its only a 5 star raid
Don’t underestimate it! A good amount of Pokémon SHOULD work but Rayquaza is strong

No goal! It would be fun, but you can be one and done!
why not use Mimikyu or Archaludon?
