Great that you gave the original poster his credit. Not everyone will do that. He deserved all his recognition. I seen the original video already but going to watch this one fully. 💪💪💪
For the EV's if your pokemon isn't level 100 you can just put a power lens on your Gholdengo when farming Chanseys, so you get HP EVs from Chansey and special atk EVs from the power lens. It's a good and cheaper alternative.
Just so you know you can literally just buy bottle caps from any delibird presents store just like you can buy the mints from any chansey supply store. The bottle caps would be in the general goods sections of the delibird presents.
I soloed my past 2 raids with screech koraidon. Another thing I found is that dropping defence first might cause the ai to pop a shield so would recommend nasty plotting first
Don't Expect this strategy to work 100% of the time, built one of those gholdengo's up and found 3 6 stars that it couldnt handle in a row before winning on the 4th pokemon
For me this doesnt work consistently. Whenever im done setting up Nasty Plot 3 times and then Metal Sound 3x before i can use Hex/Steelbeam its purging either my Buffs or his Debuffs and when i apply them again its not Paralyzed etc anymore. Iron Hands after Belly Drum never seems to do enough damage that it matters. What works consistently Solo for me on the right opponents is my 100 Koraidon with Supertraining 252 Atk / 252 Spd holding Metronome with Sword dance and drain punch or supertrained 100 Miraidon with Choice Specs 252 SpA/252 Spd and Signature Move. Koraidon vs Normal, Stone, Steel, Ice, Dark and Miraidon vs Water and Flying
I'm so glad Gholdengo is relevant, it's my new favorite Pokemon. It's such a dumb, yet unique Pokemon and I've been loving nuking raids with it. If you're on the fence about investing, I can say it is worth the investment.
I wasn't all the rage about it at 1st (basically a Chandy w/o the Fire typing) *but* then I saw it learns Recover and before that i found it's actually faster than Chandelure. So yea - I started collecting all the Coins just like that Girl did in the Trailer. 😂🤣
I am trying this since two days and let me just say: it only works in less than 50% of raids. Because after 3 Nasty Plots and 3 Metal Sounds the enemy is ALWAYS so weakened that it puts up its shield and recovers all status changes so you have to start again and hope you have enough time left.
This absolutely looks like a strat you need to be flexible with. If you have special attacking AI, you use Nasty Plot first so they don't bust the shield. Another killer is 6-star raids with Taunt, absolutely ruins it cause you'll only get 1 Nasty Plot or Metal Sound and can't use recover.
wouldn't make it rain technically be slightly better? it doesn't have recoil, still is 120 base power and only lowers Sp-Atk by 1 stage. I'd prefer staying alive more reliably and just redo a nasty plot every 2 attacks
You can't get confused anyway cause of his ability wdym lol. Unless you're worried about 30% confusion on 70% accurate hurricanes on 1% of the raids? Just seems like paranoia to me. It's a waste to use a b cap, but it doesn't really matter if you do
I like playing six star raids with my husband. We have loved pokemon since 1998. Helping Hand is my favorite move to use to support his big hitting moves. It's always a fun time together.
I leveled my gholdengo up to 80 from 50 without using him in battle to much, did I mess up the ev training, and if so is it fixable? I bought the 26 hp ups and was saving for the calciums while leveling him up and it only let's me use 4 of the hp ups.
Man idk how you got this to work, I did all the build up and all of my stats are exactly the same as yours and I cannot win a single even 5 star raid with this build.
Does anyone having problem with the cloning method? I tried it and yes it work for cloning your legendary but there is no item despite having the legendary hold it?
The setup can take wayyyy too long because the tera pokemon will nullify the stat changes half the time and it then becomes near impossible to max your sp atk or lower its sp df before it nullifies them again. Then you become useless. It only works for me in about 2/5 raids i do. Even if the pokemon is fairly weak compared to say the pseudos
Here’s the thing, this doesn’t work when the opposing pokemon has high SpDef. My fully EV trained and max IV gholdengo was +6 and the opposing gardevoir was -2 on SpDef, and it barely did 1/16 of the health bar (neutral damage).
Update: apparently raid bosses can use self-boosting moves on turns against CPUs and it will not even notify you. The gardevoir was +6 in SpDef from Calm Minds, I just never noticed because I was using Gholdengo and all it was using against me was Thunder Wave (and failing)
My problem with raids is that they're buggy af. I've been in raids where my timer has been fully gone but we still catch the pokemon. Had ones where we still have time left and it just fails randomly. Tera moves on the Shield don't do anymore damage than a regular attack either. Dying takes way to much time off of the timer especially because there's so many people who don't understand what types to use. This pokemon so far is an L
If I advance time forward 1 day, then decide after a few times I want to set it back to the current date. Will I be able to without any issues? Or will it cause problems with the next normal time advancements because I've already done those "days?"
I have an ironic story. I made this, and was excited to face my first 6 star raid. I found my first 6 star raid, and it was a Ditto. Ditto had Imposter. Sending Gholdengo in would be suicide. I looked through who I had left in my storage since I cleaned it out, and found my Lv1 Magikarp which only knew Splash. I sent it in. Ditto transformed into Magikarp. An NPC one-shot the Ditto, and now I have a Jolly Ditto with 5 perfect IV's. It felt so surreal that a Lv1 Magikarp beat a Lv75 Ditto.
joined in a 6 star ditto raid. the person who set it up brought in their own ditto, so the only thing it could do was try and use transform over and over again
story is bullcrap btw the npcs cant 1 shot a raid magikarp go try it for yourself in solo ditto raid bring your own magikarp the npcs barely take off even a slight pixel of health, yes it transforms to a useless magikarp with splash but it maintains the stats and difficulty of a lvl 6 raid still (i tried this around 20 time with lvl 6 ditto before i gave up and used online for group)
@@frye. i completed the dex and rest of game in 46 hrs and have more shiny lvl 100s than you've seen in your wettest dreams quit acting like this game is hard lol. i was stating the facts so ppl didnt go and waste there time trying this dumbasses make believe story
Honestly the issue with this is that your AI team often deal too much damage at the start messing up the set up. Once the tera shields are up this strategy falls apart. I recommend focusing on nasty plot first then lowering defence to reduce the damage your AI partners can do.
@Aayawn shouldn't be much of a problem unless you're facing a fire type or anything with EQ really. The problem with setting up metal sound first in a few cases is you run the risk of any npcs who are special attackers procing its shield. If it's shield is up before you set up and attack it, it's kind of rip. Not saying plot first is always good, just to adapt to the raid and your npcs
Thank you for being honest and saying you won’t win them all and showing us you doing a raid where you have a disadvantage because gengar has super effective moves
@@pandax5359 Honestly, you are not wrong lol. People will find ways to hate on you more even if there is no legit reason to hate you. Letting people know beforehand just calms down the few that didn't already hate him without reason :O
My biggest issue with the tera raids is the terrible time meter thing plus the people who just join raids to show off shiny or think their legendary is going to one shot things and then dies first lol
I’ve been trying this but I’m having massive issues with moves missing as steel beam and metal sound both don’t have 100 accuracy, the Pokémon putting up the shield due to ai damage before I’ve got it going and the worst which is the raid Pokémon nullifying stat changes (which I assume gets rid of the changes made by nasty plot and metal sound) to either itself or me before I’ve finished the setup. So far I haven’t been able to beat a single raid with this method
I remember how one time I encountered a 6 star dark gallade raid,and I dropped my lvl 93 tera fighting koraidon,and guess what? I ended the gallade in a few drain punches Lmao
Strat doesn't really work well whatsoever. Definitely clears 5 star raids extremely well, but I've found that the enemy clears Stat boosts before you can get the attack off 9/10 times or the AI will do too much damage and the shield will go up and ruins this Strat completely.
For those looking for the Steel Beam TM, that cave actually has a Tera Pawmo in it. If you can't find it, go to Serebii and look for the Tera Pawmo location and the TM is right next to it. Be awre if your level is low, the cave entrance is small and a lot of Dugtrio and Gabite block the exit when I was trying to leave... so either use the Flying Taxi or bring strong enough Pokemon to fight them.
I'm still in disbelief that nobody is talking about how broken shell bell is for raids, the bosses have tons of health so you basically full heal everytime you attack Edit: Comment section hates having fun so forget my advice it's basically worthless
I've tried Shell Bell myself and while it does heal a lot if you do damage but at times when you aren't doing enough damage (When the shield is up) the healing is very miniscule and not enough to keep you alive so I rather opted for just full glass cannon with Choice items
It's a shame soloing is going to be the preferred method... Again. I think the timer punishment is too hefty for online play as some raids will spam boosts and ohko everyone constantly. You lose a chunk of timer and have a spawn delay.
Trying to set up according to the video and the tera pokemon just removes all negative effects from itself after the 3rd turn which makes it impossible... so annoying. I did had two runs successfully but 90% of the raids are just impossible.
I definitely recommend using the Power items and just doing EV training manually. It takes like 20 minutes and it saves you like 500k+, which is still kind of a lot. In fact, you can do 5 or 6 Pokemon at the same time, which can be a 5-6x savings. Use your money on bottle caps, mints and battle items instead. You can kill the Psyducks along the river near the lighthouse at the beginning of the game for Special attack and kill the slowpokes and marills on that Island in the North-West of the map for HP. It's not even remotely as tedious as it was in past games. It's very fast and no RNG from random battles like before.
@@xXxYOUxXxTUBERxXx No, but that's actually a good thing because you can use auto-battles to clear out pokemon that are hostile that don't provide the EVs you want.
@@CottontailCavalier Use the Power item to increase the amount of EVs you get on each Pokemon in your party that you want to train. Try to train 5 at a time. Then kill 23 pokemon that give the same EV, ignoring the others. You can go into the summary screen and check the graph to see if they are maxed or not, but 23 is usually the right number. It could be less, but usually 23. HP - Slowpoke, Marill, Azuremarill on the NW Island Location Special Attack - Psydock along the river near the lighthouse at the beginning of the game Attack - Croagunk, Toxicroak, Flamigo, Chewtle, Drednaw on the NW Island location Special Defense - Goomy, Sliggoo, Swablu, Altaria on the NW Island location I never needed to train defense or speed, so I never bothered to memorize them but I'm sure you can look them up.
Is this a joke? He cant kill shit and can only attack once. By the time you get up 3 nasty plots, the boss clears your stats, by the time you get up 3 metal sounds, he clears his debuffs.
I’ve been trying this strategy on a ground Tera type Goodra and it just doesn’t work. I have to use recover way too often to get the 3 metal sounds and 3 nasty plots off before it puts its shield up and I can use steel beam. What am I doing wrong!?
Another easier but more grindier method is to use ceruledge, miraidon or koraidon with metronome held item. Make sure you have the tera type fire, electric and fighting plus the move bitter blade, parabolic charge and drain punch respectively. You can start with a boost or weakening move first then just spam the life steal moves, you will eventually grind the 6 star out
The AI is commpplleeettteeelllyy faaarrrkkeddd......GOOD AS GOLD ABILITY YET DONDOZO HAD YAWNED AND PUT ME TO SLEEP........I was so pissed off and confused, tried 3 times and all 3 times half way through....put to sleep.....IT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE!!!
Went up against a 6 star Dragonite with flying tera type... he buffed using dragon dance 3 times before I could get off the 3rd metal sound to lower his defense and 1 shot me everytime. Other raids he's been great but you can't solo every raid though.

For time skipping, u need to change your console time ahead 1 day plus 1 minute, to ensure you actually get a full 24 hours time difference. Just 1 second less than 24 hours and the skip won't work.
I just want to add, this is not viable for multiplayer at all. This strat definitely relies on teammates not eating the timer, and not doing enough damage to proc the enemy shields. If you try this in multiplayer, the boss will remove all stat changes before you get to attack. By then his shield will be up and you'll be nowhere to close to terra charge because you've been spamming buffs. Yes, I'm talking to all you assholes planning to take this right into multiplayer anyway trying to show off and solo the boss. Matchmaking takes long enough, don't waste even more time.
Does not really work for most raids. you still get more damage than you can heal, since steal beam has recoil damage. For some raids its an easy game like in the video, but for arround 70% of all 6 Star raids this wont work. If the enemy has any skil to push his attack stats you are doomed. Iron Hands is better
It’s not fool proof, but this definitely is ideal for going at it solo imo. Just be smart about what dens you’re entering! If it’s something that can hit you for Super Effective, you should probably avoid.
Okay I tried this on 7 different raids in a row, exactly doing as in the video with the perfect goldenghou. This doesn't work at all. Maybe in 1 out of 10 raids at most. But so far for me it worked in 0
2:13 It's not always the best idea to max out every IV. It can even be a detriment sometimes. For physical attackers, you can typically forgo maxing Special Attack, and for special attackers you can forgo maxing Attack. This is especially important for Special Attackers because some of the raid pokemon carry a move called Foul Play, which does more damage to your pokemon the higher your pokemons' physical attack stat. It also just saves you some bottle caps. Why bother maxing a stat on a pokemon if they won't ever use it, y'know?
while he is good for raids the real mvp is solo in general. Only your deaths count and no need to put faith into teammates u cant talk with when doing it with randoms thats the real raid battle
Iron Hands with Belly Drum and Drain punch is an excellent alternative. Being that Iron Hands has the highest attack stat in the game, you can make an Iron Hands that has 501 HP and 415 Attack at level 100 and absolutely blow through raids without a lot of resistance. This does struggle against Pokémon that have psychic or fairy type moves, but everything else is pretty easy.
@@reishiyu7911 That's not such a big problem actually ^^ Drain Punch heals you up to full HP and most of the time you don't get much damage to get killed. To be honest I did not clear many 6 star raids until now but two times I already tried it on 5 star raids and it worked pretty well. And if you ATK boost gets cleared then just get it again :D
I’ve been doing this with max iv/ev iron hands but sometimes its a miss with some bulky pokemon and like 70% of the raid mons have play rough or some fairy shit
Damn this seems really good cant wait to try it when im done with the game! Plus considering ive been playing this game with my friend, imagine how faster and more effective this strat can be with two of this mons. One setting up the attack at the same time as the other lowers the defenses.
Some stupid overprep just to solo raid. K I hate this. GF still don't care that some of us live in the middle of nowhere with bad connections or better yet don't want to go online and just want to play and get some cool rewards for our time offline
steal beam is great but the chunk of HP you lose makes it a lot more inconsistant for clearing things youre not super effective against, i think make it rain is a better option, its 120 dmg and will one shot just as well against things that are weak to steel, it will also give you a better chance against things that you arent though since youre not losing 50% hp per damn turn
@@brilyman yes, it could have been it's defenses. Every raid is different. I'm not saying urs doesn't work, it just has more risk because of less damage
@@goldenghost2001 no it doesnt though... it has less risk because youre not throwing HALF of your hp away every time you do it for literally 30 more dmg on a move, in the long run you will die less and be forced out of raids less because the more deaths you have in solo raids the more time you lose... this is good for the less chunky mons, but once they wipe your stat changes and youre at half hp, you havbe to recover set upo again and if it has a fire move you will die OVER AND OVER just because you are trying to set up. and spoiler alert ALOT of the 6* dens have fire moves.
It’s funny how solo 6 star raids are easy af and online is impossible. People just spam attack causing the shield to go up, then die and drain the timer
This build is a joke and doesn’t work on most raids…it looks great cause of the typing you were pinned up against but depending on a Ohko isn’t as consistent as this video makes it seem
So: going out on a limb here, but arguably if you're not worried about rushing, wouldn't it be better to use Flash Cannon over steel beam? Yeah, 140 base power is great, but if you figure you're having to spend every other turn using recover, it's arguably more efficient to use Flash Cannon (80 power) twice, than to use Steel Beam (140 Power) once. Not to mention using more flash cannons is also a higher net chance of critical hits.
An even better alternative is to use Gholdengo's signature move if you're less worried about doing immediate damage, since Make it Rain is a 120 base power move which is still stronger than Flash Cannon, but also doesn't have the drawback of Steel Beam's recoil.
There's a problem when it comes to 5/6-star raids against a Ditto. Ditto will immediately transform into the Host's Pokémon (and if that's Gholdengo, you're group is pretty much TOAST), but there's a strategy to get around that easily. Simply have the Host enter the raid with a low level Pokémon (any kind with terrible stats), and the Ditto will automatically transform into that Pokémon. After that, the rest of the group can OBLITERATE the transformed Ditto in a few short turns!
This is exactly why I keep an eevee with the only move being tail whip as the ditto only has the hosts move. I as well have an electrode with only self destruction but haven't tested it yet but would be hilarious if it works. Or any mon with memento only would be pretty funny but I have not tested the fainting moves tail whip only min 100% works on ditto though with only players to knock him out.
They are hard lol oh wow i got to try it water/ fairy slowking i lost it 6 times trying beat it no one help even added other people lol they give up one cancel mess my raid up so disappeared lol
@@aquavgc7546 Might be the other pokemon moves, have you also put ev on its hp and atk? I did a 6 star and failed cause it's main moves were fairy, I'd recommend doing ones that aren't super effective agaisnt it, or sends you to sleep
I try this and it sucks. Every time the stats rais gets to normal or the defence what gets lowerd get normal to, when i want to attack. I prefer iron hands the set up is easy and faster
Also, I found that for battles where you need a little more power to ohko it can help to take a turn or two to cheer for an attack boost and let the npcs do a little more chip damage in the beginning.
Nope. Nope!! NOPE!!! Gholdengo is absolutely USELESS!!! I recreated this build to a T and I've lost every raid I've used him in!! Steel beam almost always misses with its 95% accuracy and when it actually hits, my Gholdengo usually faints if it's anything less than full health. It's not just me, when I see other people using it in raids they are usually fainting more than 2 times and causing us to lose. If I see someone join my hosted raids with Gholdengo, I'll abandon the raid before taking another L. Seeing someone hosting a raid using Gholdengo is like saying " Get in LOSER!! We're going LOSING!!"
Honestly it's time for people to just admit the raids are completely broken. I love seeing increased difficulty in Pokemon, but this isn't a question of difficulty...it's just glitchy, bug ridden, and poorly implemented.
There is better way to solo all the raids. Miraidon with Parabolic Charge, Koraidon with Drain Punch, or few other with drain move. Any of them holding Metronome as item And just spam that move. You will have full hp all the time
@@BLAINES There is few pokemon like that you can use. With enough different types of drain moves to cover a lot. Like electric/fighting from legendaries, or fire with Ceruledge
Another thing that might help is making sure its tera type is steel. Tera-ing into its own type gives you a 2.25 stab rather than the usual 1.5 so this is useful when they bring their shield up, to break it down faster. Especially if you have no stat boosts due to fainting. Plus I'm pretty sure you do more damage to the shield when you terastilize, although I could be wrong about that, but that's what the game implies at least. Edit - okay apparently it's actually 2x. I got confused bc a lot of people thought it was 2.25x initially. Still stands though!
@@muffin1587 Yeah, I think as of right now the best way to farm em is the clone glitch. It's still going to take a bit cus you need 50, so maybe ~1-2 hours? That's not that bad and you're gonna be spending a lot of time on this gholdengo anyway so might as well go all out!
Literally don't know how it's supposed to work. I can never setup both my nasty plot and my metal sound. They just always just reset the stats changes no matter if i setup my nasty plot first or my metal sound.
Another method, if you got violet, is to do the 6 star raids solo with miraidon. You can reset the 6 star raids via changing the switchs date. You just keep doing that until it becomes either a flying or water type raid. Then u can solo the raids with Miraidon. The Miraidon build is 252 EVs on SpAttack and Speed, 6 EVs on HP. You need its signature electric move and just max SpAttack, Speed and HP IVs. Last thing is to give it Choice Specs, which boosts its SpAttack but only allows one move usage. With elec terain, miraidons ability and the secondary effect of the signature move you can easiy beat every flying and water type raid with Miraidon.
You're better off taking HP EVs if you want just a tera raid Miraidon. 135 base means you're going to outspeed basically everything and the extra hp keeps you alive
