It's important to note that sometimes the rankings change when you consider which particular raid boss you might be battling. But sorting by @* does give a good generalized rankings within each type.
Remember, dodging in raids takes away from the DPS uptime as well. If you have a frail pokemon you will have to stop attacking to dodge which is bad. Tankier options all the way. That way you can just spam DPS without dodging.
Don't stop attacking. Never dodge. If you are running super frail pokemon then have a second team. I can field 12 Rampardos if I want or need to. But even though Rampardos is frail, I can roll with full raid parties and rarely need to relobby a second team.
I agree. He also didn't mention how long it actually takes to switch teams and revive pokemon too. That takes a lot of time off of your dps. You're better off just dogdging. That's why i believe dps x tdo is the correct option. At least to tier 5 raids. You could raid tier 3 dragonite with only rampardos if you really wanted to I guess lol
@@itsmesteve1081 agreed! Important to have a premade team before you enter the gym for the raid too. If not you have to manually select your six Pokémon again after they all faint the first time
I usually end up as the highest damage dealer in raids, regardless of the trainer levels that are with me (higher & lower). And I follow the rule of leading with 3 DPS mons, then 3 DPS*TDO mons. I usually line up my 1st pokemon with the possible Mega (or lead with my own). That way if someone else is using a Mega, you get the Attack Boost + the high DPS output since most Megas are "Glass Cannons" like Mega Gengar. The only reason I don't get the "highest damage dealer" in a raid is because someone else decided to use Lvl 50 mons because all my mons are Lvl 40 (Shadow & Non-shadow, but mostly Shadow). And it's usually a level 48-50 player who has nothing better to do than upgrade mons to Lvl 50.
Ugh my account is trash and I live where no one plays the only legends I have is kyerum because I was at Disney, I don’t have garchomp, tyranitar, ryperior, all good Pokémon that everyone seems to power up to cp 3000+
I would also make use of the "Lv Attacker" Button on the Comprehensive DPS/TDO Spreadsheet. A level 50 Darmanitan does more DPS than a level 40 Reshiram but a level 50 Dragonite still does lesser DPS than a level 40 Rayquaza.
I like how you placed the type icon in the upper left corner so I can scan as well as use time stamps below. I will be using this as a tool to fine tune my raid teams. As always thank you! ✌
Damn, I love this! I'm a returning player and got back to the game only 3 days ago after 2,5 years of not playing. Having a video about what's worth and what's not that is actually very new and therefore extremely relevant is a a dream coming true! Even though I don't really have meta pokemon nowadays. I quit when having 6 regular Machamp and Tyranitar were good and my "newest" Pokemon is a 100% Mamoswine. So my inventory is quite outdated but this helps for prioritizing the right pokemon from now on. Edit: Apparently I do have some pokemon that are still strong or am able to get some strong evolutions. At least something :D I am a little annoyed by the amount of shadow pokemon though. As far as I can tell it is not easy to get strong shadow pokemon, we have to wait for events to get rid of frustration and it's basically just another form of an already existing pokemon which doesn't feel rewarding for me at all.
You should find a friend and do some trades. It’ll result in “Lucky” Pokémon which are easier to power up and usually have good stats; good chance for a 100% as well. Great way to get some meta relevant Pokémon but will cost you a lot of stardust if they aren’t Best Friend rank with you.
I always love these types of videos due to the reason I prioritize raids more, I have a lot of pokemon raid attackers so this helps me on what pokemons I should push.
If we do start to see Gen 7 legendaries & Ultra Beasts in 2022, the key type counters to have would be Poison, Fairy, Ground,Fire, Dark, Ghost & Electric. Gen 7 includes a number of Fairy Type & Steel Type & there are a number of double type weakness on a number of Gen 7 Legendaries & Ultra Beasts, being Poison, Fire, Dark & Ghost
It will screw so many people up. the amount of ethos Pokedax has is insane, with 1 statement there will be about 1000 people who will spend 100+ rare candies on a single pokemon 🤣
Great video. The more I learn about how to play properly...the more I smack my head of how much candy/stardust I've wasted on Pokemon I'll never use. Would love a future video on PVP tactics. The better I get, the more I'm picking up on why I keep losing -__-
you should do a not so hard to obtain pokemon recommended for raid for new and casual player. nice vid bro, keep it up!
2 года назад
I've been thinking maybe make a vid like this but on budget counters? I like to reccomend the best cause that's what you should be striving for but I could do budget as well
@ That would be great if you do a budget pokemon vid! Some of us dont really have time to grind 6 best pokemon but we dont want to be a burden with no dmg in raid because in some area we have very few player and if i can do a little more dmg maybe we can take down 5 stars raid easier. Sry for my bad english btw and thanks for the reply!
The last few months of raids havnt been too difficult, compared to past ones. Even if you don't have any 2.5k of higher pokemon you can still knock out the 5star raids, especially if your group is using the 10 person method. The only problem currently with kyurem is if it has Draco meteor it still tends to 1 or 2 shot anything that isnt resistant to dragons. I recommend this: if you have a decent iv magikarp, walk it as your buddy for a few days. Remember your getting effectively 40 candy per day with the buddy candy cap(possibility double if it's excited, I forget if the cap is on candy or walking total). It takes a bit but it's worth it since that big nasty has FAR more use than in the core games. Second, download pokemon home and look up how to get the mystery box for Meltan. This is another 400 candy monster but all you need to do is catch them as they spawn(1 every 90 seconds) and maybe throw in some berries for extra candy. You'll be sure to get a solid one at some point. You'll have to do this twice at least, and the box has a 3 day cd, so you'll need to reactive it at that time by sending another pokemon to the home app(just choose any low cp garbage one). If you already have any of the Kanto starters at a decent iv, use the 7km eggs on this event to hatch more for tons of candy. Getting those final evolutions of any will give you a nice buff in raids. Arcanine is another nice one to grab and it's pre-evo isn't that rare, just throw pinap berries at it each time. Even if you have to use revives and potions in the raid, as I said the current listing isn't that hard, and by the time the tough ones come back, you'll have a solid lineup. A few quick tips, if you got a good gible this past December Cday, evolve it up to garchomp as soon as you can. Same if you run across a solid dratini or a beldam as both dragonite and metagross are solid for most any raid. You could also invest in the slowking right now in 3stars. It's not awful and will be a good entry with its decent cp level. Consider dewgong since seel is spawning left and right ATM. Last. Look at what's coming up in raids and look for counters not just in the wild, but in raids. You can as well from eggs but that's more random. Just a few ways you can get a leg in on a solid setup. The first two methods will be the fastest, completing within 1 week(assuming you have a magikarp).
This is sad... Since they released Psystrike Mewtwo, it makes other psychic type pikemon become obsolete.. Bcs how Massive the difference is between them.
I feel like mega altaria should be the go to mega for dragon raids. It’s double resisted to dragon while boosting other strong dragons and fairies and its bulky af. You could even throw in a dodge or 2 to survive longer
When your in a raid with 6 people sometimes DPS is the way to go unless you have them do DPS while dodging your lvl 50 hundo mega altaria to keep the boost in and re-entry if needed
@@bigfudge2031 is that the stats in it cause they should factor in immunities cause in the main series fairies are immune obviously you can’t make it not do any damage in pogo but yah altaria should technically resist
Garchomp is a monster, love Chomp my 98% from comday destroys everything with fasting attacking earth power. Still working on maxing it to 50, its atleast 41 or 42 at cp 4083
@@vinaysamant5943 nope. In the main game, steel immunes to poison, but since there's no immunity in this game, steel double resists poison. When one type immunes the other, there won't be any additional resist or minus resist (example: steel/fairy double resist poison, dark/normal 2x resist ghost, ghost/dark 2x resist fighting) get it?
I just want to say you are my favorite pokemon go channel I like how you arent trying to hard to be a character or have like crazy video editing or act childish just a normal guy who lays out all the knowledge in a very effective and concise way. Your frame is legit too the camera and lighting is pretty cool although sometimes that blue is strong. But yea I really like your videos and have subscribed and i hope you get to 1M sub soon
So the last two videos were DPSxTDO, now it's just DPS, so the reasoning behind it is that Higher DPS does more Damage in Less Time? For Example, Giratina Origin was the Number One Ghost Type before Mega Gengar, now that we are doing DPS, it's further down the List. Also, for Megas, would it not be beneficial to just do TDO or DPSxTDO? The more time you have it on the Field, the Longer the Bonus stays Active, therefore getting alot more Overall Damage. Like Mega Absol, Great DPS Mega, and according to this Chart it Outclasses Mega Tyranitar, when we have been talking it up so much. Even the same with Mega Aerodactyl, it just seems like Mega TTar was set out to be this great Mega, but now that we are doing DPS, not so much,
No idea why Daxi decided to do DPS. Its a trap a lot of newer players get caught in. If you are actually interested in seeing how pokemon do in raids use Pokebattler and set it to Time to Win. Doing the most damage doesnt mean much when you fall over before you can actually achieve anything.
DPS is simply for raids. Do more by the second to beat the clock. You would have to dodge every charged move possibly to stay in longer but I agree. With 4-6 ppl idk if I’d take a chance on TDO. When your slim red with 15 seconds on the clock TDO not gonna save you😭 (don’t remind me)
If you are doing a raid by yourself if would left out those Low DPS Megas like Mega Altaria and Mega Steelix. The Mega Boost is only applied to others if while your Mega is in the field and alive. Since you are alone no one will benefit from that.
I agree but ppl can barely solo tier 3 & you cannot solo tier 5 so yes what he said the team to have when with players is accurate but raid in like NYC with 6+ in every raid, the most powerful team becomes very unlikely
Daxi, shadow machop is available you can find it by a female grunt that says : this buff physique isn’t just for show ! Machop can appair in slot 2 the chance is 56% that slot 2 is a machop and 44% chance that makuhita appair.
the problem is that Melmetal hasn't a Steel Type fast move if you want't it to use it as an Attacker. So maybe I would rather evolve high CP Meltans and use them. The Stardust you saved I would use to replace bit by bit the Melmetals by high IV Metagrosses with MM.
You heard of the steelix mega energy problem? Onix can’t give the mega energy, so niantic did challenges. 28 Pokémon catches at least, for 200 mega energy.
Honestly it would be good if you provide some context to these numbers. What exactly does a DPS^3*TDO of 18000 mean. Does it mean it can solo a T5 boss with 15000 HP? Some examples of what it means in actual raids would be a great addition and help build up intuition a lot. Cheers and look forward to a great 2022

Will discuss this in my video about how to use the spreadsheet. In the end the higher the number the better though
@ cheers. Another thing that I hope you cover is something that I wonder. Generally top rock attackers have a value of 2000-3000. If we consider that the raid boss is Zapdos, does a mewtwo with a value of 6000 perform better doing neutral damage than a rock type doing super effective but only 2000 value?
I’ve been playing Pokémon go in short spurts for year. Played for a month consistently and didn’t know about the legendaries available in these raids .
Shadow Salamence is available in the game right now. At the 4 min mark you said it wasnt, im sure it was just a mistake but yea its available. Way back when I believe Cliff had Shadow Bagon I hit the shiny. I caught mine on Jan 13th 2020
It's important to note that Mega Altaria is actually the best dragon you could ever use in a raid once it has resistence to dragon attacks (for being fairy) (PS: the main point of using a dragon in a raid is to fight against another dragon, isn't it?)
Exactly, I much prefer fairy types or ice types against dragons because they take much less damage (especially fairy's) you will sacrifice a lot of DPS but a shadow Gradavoir can survive 3 times longer against a dragon compared to a shadow salamance.
Rhyperior with stone edge is a very budget rock type attacker and you can always elite tm it eventually if you didn't evolve a rhydon on Christmas Cday
Depends what you looking to do. I’m a raider and I’ve seen shadow Victreebel but in like the 5th or 6th slot I’m maybe like 1 raid boss so I wouldn’t rush to power that thing up too fast. Shadow Venusaur I believe with be your best bet
Great list really helps me with what to focus on in terms of efficient team building. Stardust is hard to come by, this was a great guide in how to best use that. Thanks Hoppip community for helping out stardust lacking
My best hundos are aerodactyl and slowpoke for megas, but my 98%'s are on another level. Shiny Gyarados and Melmetal are my favorites, and I have a Dragonite that I haven't powered up yet. Edit: Yay hundo Electivire is good!
Well today there is a timed task for 30 days giving 50 mega energy for catching 7 Pokemon(any )of steelix and like this is better than doing raid If you catch like 70 Pokemon a day you can get 500 energy which is insane and I am grinding it
Tips for everyone: if you have a pc, use google sheets to make a spreadsheet of best Pokémon/moves/types etc. then email it to yourself or screenshot it to your phone so you will have the data on hand. This is what I do. Question: I took about an 8 month break so I’d like to know if anyone can confirm if this list in the video is still good? I can’t find a more up to date version for July 2022. TIA
I would rank by TDO instead of DPS, becuase when you have large groups of people it has happened to me that I’m the only one using good pokemon for the raid and still we beat the boss with a lot amount of time, and when you have a small group you want your pokemon to have a balance between how much damage they can do and how long they can attack until they faint, because you don’t want to lose time reviving pokemon once all your team is out and still want to give a good amount of damage
You can’t completely ignore DPS or TDO. Some Pokémon (like smeargle) can have infinite TDO with the right moveset, but like 0.001 DPS. Making it useless for raids
@@elpekenin_dev "Shadow Pokémon are special, Team GO Rocket abducted, versions of Pokémon. Shadow Pokémon have a 20% increased Attack and 20% reduced Defense stats, they have an exclusive charge move called Frustration and they can be Purified in order to release them from Team GO Rocket’s influence." Source: PokémonGoHub
Multiplying by 1.2 and also dividing by the same amount, makes the total stats be the same (Atk * Def * HP) = (Atk*1.2 * Def/1.2 * HP) while focusing on damage
when your making a team in the go battle league dont just go for the to pick a lot of the players counter those Pokémon so try something that might shock the persona your fighting like Jumpluff Registeel and Sableye
One question I've been thinking about in terms of pokemon to power up is deciding between i.e. a shadow 1 star machop or a normal 3 star machop for raids. I have no idea if a bad shadow is better than a good/great non shadow of the same species. All the shadows I've been collecting are absolutely terrible and I've not powered up a single one :D - What's your opinion? And thanks for the amazing content you put out!
I just play so I can transfer whatever Kanto Pokemon aren't available in the switch games. I'd rather have what I want from the start instead of getting the team I want once the game is over.
