[@StardustAvenger]

Gentlemen always a pleasure to meet you all in the Tera war room

[@SleeplessGamerss]

Earliest I been

[@VictorbrineSC]

Lmao literally

[@AudioGAWD]

Without coordination, this seems like a hassle lol

[@questbuilds7736]

Good to see you lieutenant. What are you running for this raid.

[@King0nyx]

​@@AudioGAWD I literally keep getting people bringing mons that are barely above level 50 in almost every raid 💀

[@delph9958]

Personally, I used ghost tera Annihilape, taunted first turn to prevent the sunny day, screeched, died, then spammed Rage Fist while holding a Shell Bell. Hope that helps anyone struggling with it!

[@ranmisael]

Evs are attack and hp?

[@MortalityTechnician]

Yep, angry monke punch go brrr.

[@coopsaf]

I did that too but didn’t taunt. Just screeched then spam rage first. Also, don’t do it online 😂

[@awworrell]

The ghost terra helped do way more damage. I killed it’s shield in either one or two turns then two shot it after

[@TheMasterBlaze]

I used my competetive singles Annihilape to solo it. Ghost terra and Max HP and Max Sp.Def is not required for Ape to solo it. So yeah, Ghost Tera Ape Rage fist spam is overqualified for the solo.

[@FatSpartan-e1x]

I love how Manky/Primape, a previously underrated fighting type pokeomon, is now one of the most reliable raid busters in the current game. I always believed in the angy monke

[@whitey00112]

Return to monke was the play we needed

[@botastic1717]

Monke is stronk

[@GylleneGott]

Apes together strong

[@Snanthx]

It’s funny bc I finished Firered right before SV and I had Primeape on my team so when I saw it’s evo I was like that looks sick

[@Emicatmon]

Primeape is my favourite Pokémon and to see him get a ghost beef up is one of my favourite things

[@Anonymous_480]

The Typhlosion is not the only one with 2 marks, the Pikachu had a 1/16 chance of coming out with the jumbo mark. My jumbo Pikachu came out on the third try.

[@Katie-hb8iq]

For those looking for a support Pokemon in groups, Goodra is a good one to make for this raid. Turn 1 Chilling Water to reduce Play Rough's damage - it needs 5 turns to kill you with Play Rough now, which is no big deal, and your 150 Special Defense bricks the other moves. Acid Spray 3 times to support other special attackers. Use Life Dew to heal the party. Lastly, change Goodra's tera type to Dark and use Tera Blast to help finish off the raid afterwards with its high special attack stat. Both Chilling Water and Acid Spray build up Tera Charges. Use a Citrus Berry so you can focus on setup moves and not healing. Use Calm Nature. Use Gooey Hidden ability to slow Typhlosion down so other party members can attack and heal with Shell Bell. EVs are 252 HP, 40 Def (to counter Play Rough) and the rest in Special Attack.

[@WellManNerd]

You’re the kind of gamer more of us should be 🥳

[@HonkHonk-qq7di]

Ooo, another member of Goodra Gang! I've been mainly using mine for spamming Life Dew since my teammates tend to be frail. I try to get a Chilling Water in when I can, though I've been leaning more towards lowering accuracy with Muddy Water. I have Water Pulse as an additional move-probably not ideal, but I can occasionally hit Ty with confusion. Mine is a Water Tera, but I almost never use the Tera anyway.

[@AudioGAWD]

I'm going to make a few attempts. I got pretty fortunate with this Arcanine I used that was good. Arcanine @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate Tera Type: Dark EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpD Adamant Nature - Snarl - Crunch - Morning Sun - Protect My logic here is cutting the power of Earthquake and Play Rough immediately, then attack about turns to Tera into Dark type to clear that Ground them use cheers, Morning Sun, or protect for longevity I wanted to win with one of my favorites 😅

[@AudioGAWD]

Also I'll build one of these for support!

[@AudioGAWD]

@@WellManNerd Agreed!

[@Quix0tic707]

Used an Annihilape just like you suggested. Mine was Tera Ghost with an EV spread of 252 HP / 176 SpD / 84 Spe with a Careful Nature and Defiant. Never 2HKOed by Shadow Ball with this spread. Worked like a charm - solo'd the raid easily. Thanks for the tip Austin, your channel is so helpful for these 7* raids.

[@SheriffRez]

Used this exact spread and beat it solo 1/1. Thanks for the help!

[@heavenlyknightoftheholyord7993]

Thanks for the information I will try this out and funny enough I have a Shiny Mankey so more bouns points lol

[@nishrandarksteed8464]

This was a little messy but I used Dark Tera Roaring Moon. Protosynthesis made use of Typhlosion's Sunny Day and the used Focus Energy and then a Dark attack move.

[@Wiilio]

I also ran this and it was a breeze! I had the benefit of Intimidate, but did the Play Rough 2HKO you or no?

[@nishrandarksteed8464]

Usually play rough took 3 times to knock me out unless it got a crit off.

[@RodimusMinor1987]

How did you not get ohkod by play rough 😮

[@amarukrosis]

I was a bit skeptical, but I tried it anyway. I'm amazed how effective this build is, well done!

[@Helio6363]

Grimmsnarl is a great support option if you're in a group. Light screen, reflect, and spam spirit break to lower its sp atk.

[@Silentninja238]

tbh, Chansey is way better support. Light screen and constant heals and or helping hand to boost power wins easy.

[@Weeaboogod_]

It has play rough I learned this the hard way and its super affective for aome reason

[@emergencyfood3568]

@@Weeaboogod_ Because Grimmsnarl is Fairy/Dark and dark is weak to fairy.

[@Weeaboogod_]

@@emergencyfood3568 i thought it would do neutral damage ngl

[@jagmaster1955]

​@THE Weeabogod Fairy does neutral damage to itself. So a pokemon like Grimmsnarl would still take 2x damage since it's part dark, still making it weak to fairy.

[@craftypig1008]

I’m so glad that typhlosion has the fire animations in battke

[@zFallen117]

Right! I had such a big smile on my face when his silhouette showed the flames

[@yoloswagking4332]

In the let’s go he doesn’t have the fire

[@zFallen117]

@Yoloswag King But at least in battle he does

[@SHALITAMAR]

​@@yoloswagking4332I know it will look cooler when the flame is always on but think about it that way: You don't see heros with their weapons on the ready all the time same thing with typhlosion It's like a skunk constantly farting it doesn't make sense

[@enikay236]

​@@SHALITAMAR a Skunk constantly farting 💀

[@freddymcfred17]

If you have a group and want a good support, Goodra with tearful look is basically unkillable and you can get off 2 or 3 before the shield goes up. After that use moves like chilling water, rain dance, acid spray, maybe have rest on it to make sure you don't go down.

[@JTSShadowYT]

[@AustinJohnPlays]

[@xv1distort]

41min squad

[@rousini]

Used your Annihilpate Build but I used Water Terra and it worked like a charm... thank you for the tips as always

[@haydes8628]

I feel like talonflame could be slightly worthwhile due to resisting fire and fairy and being immune to earthquake, while still having flying type moves to do damage with, as well as even having access to taunt to prevent sunny day

[@soulofsomething6651]

Not worth it because hits like a wet noddle

[@misterwacky3186]

The bird ain’t immune to a terastallized shadow ball. Just saying.

[@RileyTE14]

Already tried this, rock slide destroys talonflame 💀

[@superduperissa1026]

Having a grimmsnarl with light screen reflect and spirit break as a support mon definitely helps. Light screen then 3 spirit breaks takes the kick right out of its special moves

[@wolfofsummerbreeze]

Ooo. I might build that.

[@Evil_Befall]

I got a shiny grimmsnarl Finally a excuse to show it off

[@wolfofsummerbreeze]

Used Dashbun snarl instead. Zero damage eruptions helped a lot. Also this boss hits hard with sun boosted eruptions, so we only barely made it with blissey healing and screening. Rage fist was mvp definitely. I could not tell you who the 4th member was...

[@PaperStar64]

Also make sure he has prankster

[@joshuakyle]

I’ve used Grimm on other 6 and 7 star raids. It is a great supporter. Definitely worth having one ready.

[@austinh2971]

From one Austin to another thanks for all the work you do, I’m always so busy so I never have time to figure it out myself I look you up every time a raid comes out!

[@JRR31]

Thanks for all you do austin!!

[@CorynSilver]

Just a heads up, Skill Swap doesn't work too well, you lose Flash Fire if you get KO'd and can't get it back

[@CheeseTank12]

Use Golduck with cloud nine to null sunlight, max Sdef build with leftovers is enough to tank, & could pass flash fire to another pokemon.

[@otakujoe600]

Oranguru with light screen can skill swap decently

[@justin91jc]

I skill swapped into my support umbreon and he couldn't hit me with much damage, even play rough didn't hurt much, leftovers kept me ticking

[@TFMTBlueBomber20]

For those of you that decide to use Azumaril for online raids, please build support 252/HP, 252/SPDF then 6/SPD or ATK, Held: Light Clay -Rain Dance -Light Screen -Helping Hand -Aqua Tail/Aqua Ring This adds special bulk to anihilape as it tries to screech and build up rage fist so the counter doesn't go down each time it faints. Had a raid with one anihilape and two miraidons and this came in clutch as once the wall and rain were setup, I just helping handed our monkey to do bigger damage. If you run belly drum Azumaril is just gonna be one shot as seen in the video OR canceled out immediately by typhlosions ability/stat null. Ty and take care yall, get that Typho!!

[@SqueezySponge]

Solo Strat: Adamant Annihilape 252ATK - 252HP (6IV ofc) Turn 1: Screech Turn 2: Rage Fist Turn 3 and on: spam Rage Fist and Ghost Tera, keep spamming Rage Fist even when you faint

[@That1Toast]

+ shell bell

[@MinishDude]

I had one that came with Rock tera type, was nifty since it only took neutral damage from Eruption & Shadow Ball (so I survived until the end with Tera). Shell Bell for healing + HA (Defiant) was good too.

[@shannons7150]

Normal tera gives you shadowball immunity

[@bluemagicianx]

@Dumpsterfire=cleveland just wondering did you outspeed the typhlosion?

[@marcronos]

did exactly that, similar Annihilape (Normal Tera tho) and it worked for me as well

[@karhall1635]

The Annihilape set that made for easy soloing the Samurott works perfectly for this raid too. It's crazy.

[@ebev91]

It does. I beat Typhlosion on the first try. Barely but I fainted 3 times and one was from a crit. I've seen others only faint twice.

[@Square1nes]

@@ebev91 what moves, evs, and nature?

[@minicle426]

Didn't work for me.

[@ultratitas]

My Annihilape w/ shell bell and water Tera type did amazing in this. Changed its nature to get special defence up. But screech turn one then rage fist worked like an absolute charm. Definitely regret not using it sooner got stuck in terrible groups until I decided to try and solo it.

[@ThatOneMotherfucker]

Annihiape Ghost Tera for me. But yeah overall Annihiape is good for this raid.

[@seifseif9403]

Did you ev train the annihilape and if so in which stats??

[@ultratitas]

@@seifseif9403 this was the one I used in my play through of Violet so was already EV trained in terms of attack, defence and special defence. Just changed its nature to be special defence up and it’s Tera type to water.

[@seifseif9403]

Thanks for the ev spread :)

[@domodomu]

Even without the tera as long as you setup 2-3 screeches and die once, you can roll him the next time you're alive. Shellbell mvp honestly

[@mr-fh2be]

Serious contender for most broken move list.

[@bu9299]

FACTS

[@rickismonte]

I found walking wake for online raids work great. Noble roar , rain dance , hydro with a metronome in tell tera .. survivors long enough to not wreck the timer.

[@bleedingwell6403]

The Annihilape crushes it (again surprisingly), screech once or twice then just rage fist over and over, tera to something other than ghost and it was pretty easy. Ya might go down once or twice but it should get taken out with time to spare. Shell bell goes without saying ;)

[@D3ATH2GL0RY]

Agreed. Annihilape just goes INSANE in Solo, but if you need a Mon that Doesn’t just sweep by itself, I recommend a High Special Attack Spirit Tomb with Skill Swap, so you are immune to Eruption, along with giving it Calm Mind, Snarl, and Shadow Ball. Yet again…… Monke go brrrrrrrrrrrr

[@MAL8916]

What were the EVs on yours? Mine got two hit by shadow ball before I could even screech twice

[@bleedingwell6403]

@@D3ATH2GL0RY Yeah I was thinking of doing a Houndoom to be fire immune (flash fire) and still might now I know how it works.. though the earthquakes may be problematic but absorbing the eruptions with flash fire could seriously beef up dark pulse. Popped out like 200 of them today trying to get a nice big one to train up but didn't get anything over "slightly bigger" so gave up and just gave the Funky Munky I used on the Samurott another shot. Really didn't expect it to work what with it doing shadow ball itself but good old rage fist heals through it.. EV wise mine is just max attack with a mix of speed and defence (I didn't make any changes to it since the Samurott), I did get taken out after about 3 turns but after that point rage fist was healing me enough to keep me going for the rest of the fight. The fight did seem very glitchy to me though, few times moves got interrupted or just outright cancelled by his shield going up or down or when people were knocked out and it started trying to use sunny day/eruption and failing for some reason.

[@LoneStarWatch]

Tera ghost actually works great. Rage fist is crazy powerful with tera ghost.

[@raxgaming24]

really? i was doing okay, then tera into ghost and just smoked him. 3 rage first after tera and it was done.

[@NitroDeath]

It was surprising easy. Just used koraidon, screeched first turn, crunched to charge tera, then tera and swords dance, then just crunch until dead. and shell bell for the item. :) (Edit, dark tera type and max att and speed with all stats hyper trained. you will probably die once you fully charge tera. just tera when you return, since you’re not 4x weak to play rough, you’ll survive better. and swords dance + tera will give you alot of health back with shell bell)

[@eraserhead6198]

Fluttermane was my MVP in this raid. The boost from Protosynthesis to Special Defense along with calm mind was a huge difference maker. This Typhlosion was no joke.

[@D3VIL002]

After some tests this must be the best Build against Typhlosion, at least on Solo Mode Flutter Mane @ Shell Bell Ability: Protosynthesis Tera Type: Ghost EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpD Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Shadow Ball - Fake Tears - Calm Mind - Moonblast Turn 1: Fake Tears Wait for it to remove ur Buffs and then Start using Calm Mind If u feel like ur going to be KOed jut spam Healing or Shadow Ball, Shadow Ball is what I mostly use to recover HP with the Shell Bell

[@otakujoe600]

I enjoy playing a support role. Online I brought Oranguru, at first with Light Screen, Nasty Plot, Shadow Ball, and Instruct. Once I saw it was a mixed attacker I switched to Light Screen, Chilling Water, Skill Swap, and Instruct. It worked pretty well.

[@powerpufflord]

Bro, I just used the exact build that you detailed in the comment and I just beat Typhlosion on my first try with Oranguru as support for a group. (I tried a few times prior with Azummarill and a few others but it didn’t work well.)

[@HonkHonk-qq7di]

@@powerpufflord Oh! I wish I would have known about this since I have a shiny Oranguru. Is it able to tank Shadow Ball?

[@JCXP123]

@Honk Honk Oranguru is normal/psychic so shadow ball won't have any effect

[@reverendblind]

I had a Polteageist trained running Strength Sap, Dark Pulse, Light Screen and Skill Swap. Light Screen first turn, then Skill Swap, then support the team and keep up Light Screen. Once the shield's down Strength Sap tops up HP easily. Works great with all the Annihilapes and Azumarills people are running.

[@BlazingJ972]

I honestly think that ting lu has some serious potential here. It gets stab super effective coverage vs ghost, ots ability lowers typhlosions special attack, and its incredibly bulky overall

[@GhostrareStardust]

Too squishy

[@pedrosgamingcorner3920]

A support Dashbun can work wonders thanks to well baked ability, and it can learn rain dance + snarl to weaken it. A normal Tera type would make it immune to shadow ball and play rough and earthquake aren't going to take it down because of the defense increase

[@MimikyuFan89]

Because of Eruption+Sunny Day, Dachsbun with Well-Baked Body and Rain Dance+Damp Rock was my best way to win. Hilariously, my Dachsbun's name is Victor (but only because if he was female, Victor would have been Victoria XD)

[@pedrosgamingcorner3920]

@MimikyuFan89 I helped so many people with this setup. Dachbun wasn't strong enough to take it on its own, but I made sure other players could survive and be able to beat it

[@kitcat177]

liking this style where you show what you try for the raids a lot!

[@mrtauros4451]

I used a dark Tera Houndoom with flash fire, max hp and sp atk, and modest nature. Used nasty plot, snarl, then dark plus. It did fairly well.

[@Michael-zd2le]

I also thought of Houndoom lol.

[@zFallen117]

Omg omg, I defeated him using Annihilape, thanks for the recommendation! I'm so happy I can play with Typhlosion in Gen 9, my absolute favorite starter of all time :DD

[@Dot_Eleven]

I had such a fun sounding idea with Grafaiai using Doodle to just completely cancel out Eruption damage, but it's special turn sets up Sunny Day, cancels stat changes and Abilities, and then casts Eruption. I was gonna try to get everybody Flash Fire with Doodle and then Encore him into Eruption while we're immune to fire, but that dang ability cancel.

[@Chaos-jv6pe]

This is a quirky and fun build I'm running for this typhlosion. Works especially good when you have a helping hand user and a few def debuffs. Dachsbun @ Assault Vest Ability: Well-Baked Body Tera Type: Dark EVs: 4 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD Impish Nature - Body Press - Play Rough - Stomping Tantrum - Crunch

[@Pamaloiski]

I was literally stalking your account waiting for this vid lmfao

[@smileywolf1956]

I used the Miraidon with Metal Sound and Parabolic Charge build another KZbinr came up with in a previous raid. Same idea of getting 2-3 Metal Sounds off before the shield comes up then spam Parabolic Charge to keep health up. I fainted once cause Typhlosion loved using Earthquake in the beginning, but after terastalizing I was able to catch him first try. My Miraidon was holding a magnet, and the random teammates assigned on Solo Raids had intimidate and thunder wave so this may not always be the best choice for farming Typhlosion. Good luck everyone!

[@ashawott]

i caught my lovely Typhlosion in a moon ball too! it’s just so gorgeous and works so well, 😇

[@omegadrive9999]

Caught mine in a Fast Ball

[@YukiKazeko]

I haven't tried anything solo yet, but I made a supportive build for online: Rotom Wash. (It's a shiny Rotom I nicknamed Roto☆Support) -Max Defense/Special Defense (Put that extra single point in Special Attack.) -Nature is Calm (+SDefense/-Attack) -Holding Leftovers -Has the moves Shadow Ball [I like to have at least one attacking move on my Pokemon], Helping Hand, Reflect, and Light Screen. (Turn 1 is Light Screen, since Typhosion's hardest hitting moves are special. Turn 2 Reflect. Turn 3 I either use Cheer [heal] or if everyone's health is ok: find the person doing the most damage [alongside being the most helpful member] and spam helping hand on them.) I went with Leftovers since I make sure to put up a Reflect/Light Screen right when they're out. Raids usually end, because people are dying too fast. I made my build to support everyone who's making the builds to hit hard. :) This supportive build could probably use some tweaks, but its working out very well. It's been complimenting some of the people bringing Annihilapes online (which... I'm not a fan of seeing full Annihilape rooms. One is OK, but if everyone has one, then the timer goes too fast, because all of them are fainting... and... yeah...)

[@azjei]

Before the ghost tera was revealed I thought it was gonna be a ground tera because he's the Volcano Pokémon and knows Eruption and Earthquake which is pretty on brand. Would you look at that, he does have both. Love seeing the earlier Pokémons make it to the new games.❤

[@hunterbeaune7626]

[@anhvupham5039]

If you notice, Decidueye, Samurott and Typhlosion had their Tera type strong agaisnt their Hisuian form's second typing. Decidueye Flying Tera strong agaisnt Combat, Samurott Bug Tera strong against Dark, and Typhlosion Ghost tera strong against Ghost.

[@MrCrunchytime]

Gamefreak isn't that clever. They think they are, but they're not.

[@Isaac_S]

I went a bit unorthodox with this one and took in a flashfire Arcanine, dark terra type, with crunch and a shell bell. I just spammed crunch and after I was knocked out the first time terraed and continued spamming. (My EVs were max HP and Attack with the leftovers in Defense) Not sure how consistent it is, but it worked on my second attempt. First attempt I got some really unlucky crits. This would probably work even better in a group, and you might be able to incorporate howl if you have 3 or 4 people. I hope maybe this helps someone.

[@Ashton_D_Gray]

Absolute king always look forward to these!

[@darkknight9060]

I’ve used Azumarill as a support during the Typhlosion raids and it’s been working well as long as the others are attacking. Mine knows Rain Dance, Light Screen, Charm and Play Rough. Use Charm first, Rain Dance and then Light Screen and then use your 1st callout to raise defenses and then the rest whenever u see fit.

[@nityantagarwal402]

Can you pls tell when we can get iron leaves again

[@Jetbaited]

So something I have been trying out and seemed to work well with the right team and annihalape. Dachshund with Well Baked Body holding Ability Shield. This is a support set to help your team survive and help with damage. HP: 255 ATK: 72 SPD: 184 (you can change around this part bit with ATK, still working on it.) Well Baked Body Ability Shield Moves: - Helping Hand - Snarl - Tail whip - Crunch Start with Tail whip or snarl, figured its better to start off with tail whip for the def drop and snarl afterwards to lower his special attack (plus annihalape will die anyway first few turns its no issue). helps your team survive more eruptions and shadow balls. You get defence buffs from eruption which helps against some of the earthquakes too. When everybody is healthy as in turn 4, tough cheer up for survivability. worked for me pretty well to support your team with. If yall got anything to add on this, more than welcome. just wanted to give my insight on what I tried!

[@klissattack]

Annialape is pretty decent. Been using it for most of these

[@jokelethkurueisner9229]

I basically spammed Rage Fist (with a few healing cheers, one Screech, and one Bulk Up). It worked.

[@chuckddon3536]

I used spell tag also

[@BannanaBlizzXD]

Hey tysm Austin John 💓 IT was my first time beating a spotlight first time first try it made me feel really good 👍 ☺️ TYSM!! Again keep on being awesome 😇😁😁

[@Vorteri]

When in doubt, support grimmsnarl + leftovers have never let me down. Lightscreen, thunder wave, reflect, and spirit break. Don't forget to heal up your allies if they get low!

[@DMSwordsmaster]

I had I think the most fun seven star raid in a while with randoms. Everyone knew what they were doing and had a strategy. I was an Annihilape, like the video. Except I maxed out special defense, and used a special defense increasing nature. My item was obvious. I used a defense cheer on the first turn, then used screech, and spammed Rage Fist. I went special defense instead of HP because I figured I'd get overall more bang for my buck when it comes to getting health back from the boss during the barrier phase. Making the individual HPs more sturdy instead of getting just more of them. Quality over quantity. It seemed to work! One teammate was an Umbreon who also used screech once, used a defensive cheer (I think) and spammed helping hand on me. Then we had a dachsbun teammate who spammed Howl to buff my attack. And also I'm pretty sure he was cheering often too. And lastly a Grimmsnarl teammate who used screens. I'm pretty sure he was also running cheerleader but it was hard to tell. There was kind of had a lot going on after all. We had a two man wipe once after it dispelled abilities, but it was such a satisfying raid in the end. I didn't go down once and neither did the Umbreon. And the last blow was something out of the anime. Tera ghost rage fist with a friggin crit. It wiped out his entire healthbar after the shield cracked. Ten outta ten raid. Thanks to those three fellas who were in the raid with me. Dunno if you'll ever see it but it was fantastic.

[@kaioku-1276]

I just wanted to say, having a flutter mane for solo is also really good, Strat is- 2 fake tears(not so important but get at least one off on the first turn) die, 2 calm minds, and then shadow ball spam. Ofc hold a shell bell, and if the shell bell is having trouble use draining kiss. Hope that helped someone

[@vorsutus7615]

I don't have an annihilape and this is exactly the strat I needed, thank you!!

[@egyptowl7776]

I don't know if anyone else explained it, but I want to try and clarify some things you seemed confused by. At 7:35, you go the Rage Fist off first, because Haxorus used Scary Face. The extra damage should only change how soon the shield goes up. At 8:50 it seems confusing, but the first Eruption was the move it got to use on that turn of battle, while the Sunny Day+Eruption combo used after was because of you breaking the shield. The nullification of stats always happens right after shield break, no matter if he attacked yet or not. At 9:20, you got 2 moves in a row because for every raid, the boss will never attack on the turn after a Shield Break, unless its scripted by timer/HP total. He may have been able to go twice in a row because like how Decidueye did, after he hit 1/2 health (I think?). Maybe it gets activated after shield break, I haven't done the Typhlosion yet, or seen anything about it to know how it works exactly. This raid does seem pretty wonky, but I dont think its because of inconsistancy. It just plays differently than others, like every other 7*.

[@Jboneprez]

[@swankyturtle668]

[@treybrzezowski3259]

Am I the only one who remembers they gave us Hisuian Zoroark? It's Immune to Typhlosion's Shadow Ball, and takes very little damage from Earthquake and Play Rough. Really the Sun-boosted Eruption is the painful thing. Plus Zoroark gets Nasty Plot and Bitter Malice, meaning his Play Rough and Earthquake get even weaker.

[@adamsmith9933]

I tried it with my trained Hisuian Zoroark and he died too easily. I did it solo of course. Results may vary in online raids with support I guess.

[@treybrzezowski3259]

[@Halohunter553]

Using annihilape with screech rage fist shell bell and the defiant ability on the chance shadow ball lowers your special defence to increase your attack helped me

[@maxxor-overworldhero6730]

This was downright painful trying to do it with people who didn't have a clue what they were doing. Finally got a competent group and I used my Azumarill to Rain Dance whenever it tried to Sunny Day. That made it so much more easy, since Typhlosion was spamming Eruption to a ridiculous degree.

[@UnknownPerson-lq8gy]

You can solo it with the Espathra you made previously (with shell bell) just change reflect with light screen. Go light screen, faint, then calm mind x3 or 4. replace light screen as needed and lumina crash until victory. Biggest issue I had was running low on time toward the end, but did it on first attempt with them.

[@theboz5439]

I did it with Chi-Yu, max HP and SpAtk, with Reflect, Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse and Snarl with a shell bell. I died only once in the battle due to Sunny Day boosted Eruption with it's shield. Once I was able to Tera to Dark I ran through Typhlosion with 2 Nasty Plots and Dark Pulses til the W.

[@Spacefrisian]

I managed to do it with a lvl 100 Gyarados (Raindance, Dragondance, Aquatail, Chrunch.) amazing statts. It can take 3 to 4 shadowball hits without healing, using Raindance makes eruption laughable for you and your team (put that on top for quicker use, this is important) use that 2nd turn cause the Gyarados goes right after Typhlosion if you did invest on speed a bit.

[@jpavon87]

What was your build?

[@MatthewBernard]

I took it down on my first attempt with Tyranitar. Used screech, dragon dance, and crunch. It was a bit of a slog, but it worked.

[@DementatDeus]

I soloed it with Umbreon. Wasn't a particularly fast win since it was originally a support mon, but it did manage. Build was Umbreon, holding wide lens, ability synchronize, max Sp Def & Def, and Impish nature. Moves: Skill Swap (use first), Screech, Moonlight (use once under half), and Foul Play. I'm certain if it was restated to a more solo build mon then it would go quicker.

[@mattvarley3462]

I kinda love that it is a tiny boi

[@kmagic14]

I just used Miraidon Terra Electric with Wise Glasses. Turn 1 Metal Sound, Turn 2 Metal Sound or Parabolic Charge, Turn 3 Parabolic Charge. Terra when you can and keep throwing out electric moves until its dead. I reapply Metal Sound when it removes debuffs. The physical moves it throws out is Play Rough and Earthquake but neither did enough damage to one shot.

[@Tyrannotaur]

I was trying Daschbun with Well Baked Body, but even after Howl I don't do nearly as much damage as the Annhilape I used to KO it. Daschbun is a good supporter for this though. Would've gotten it with him but someone brought Houndoom who just kept dying every turn to EQ near the end.

[@jessicamapes2717]

Good to know, was thinking of taking this to support online with helping hand and seeing how it went

[@TCMWinter]

This worked! Your strats usually do! I made a couple changed, had a normal tera so it could do very little damage to me

[@MyKiwisAreFuzzy]

I used a water tera type Annihilape with the exact same build as you. It worked incredibly well, and only took one attempt to win. Additionally, it has to be done solo in the same fashion as Austin John otherwise it just didn't work. I tried online a few times, and it was never even close. Also, thanks for all the tips and tricks!

[@born_to_lose]

I got it first try with the same ghost tera type Annihilape (with shell bell) that I used on the Samurott raid. Same strategy too - Screech round one, then spam Rage Fist.

[@GetMiked]

I used Annihilape on Samurott and it was easy af, knew I'd use it for this one and be fine too. Screeched twice and fainted twice but rage fist took it down and I didn't lose tera. Great raid 'mon!

[@leonidasangelus8079]

So I know the first half of this raid is pretty much over, but for anyone that might want a different set up, I did a max attack, max health, adamant natured annihilape holding bright powder instead of shell bell, which it may have just been my luck, I really don't know, but I was able to SOMEWHAT consistently take down typhlosion, because more than once bright powder helped out by having play rough miss both times he used it, and even had shadow ball miss once or twice (could have been because he was paralyzed but I have no idea) and honestly I never even used screech as a move on mine, I just spammed the hell outta rage fist. Mine is also a normal tera type, which although didn't help with the damage, it did help keep me from being affected by shadow ball more than once, and comboed with any pokemon popping off Raindance helped keep eruption at bay, but also kinda helped spam him into using sunny day more times than he should have. Not saying THIS is the path to take, but honestly if someone tries it out, just maybe he'll be even more.stupid easy to beat. My annihilape also had "best" Stat special defense/physical defense right off the bat, due to it being from a prior tera raid I did. That MOST LIKELY played I to how easy it was for me to KO typhlosion a bunch of times, but like I said before I have no clue whatsoever

[@LDVenji]

Soloing Typhlosion with Umbreon works too! It takes a little time but play it right it can’t do much to you. Dark Tera Umbreon: Skill Swap, Reflect, Calm Mind, and crunch for your attack (Crunch drops it’s defense too). Use the weakness policy held item for when you get hit with play-rough. Boosting both Sp.Atk and Sp.Def. First turn pop a skill swap, second turn use a reflect. Depending on your Umbreons health use a heal cheer third turn. Use two calm minds and for safe measures 3 would help. None of his attacks at this point will do big damage to you, not even rough play. Start chopping away with Crunch. Tera your Umbreon to make crunch stronger. Once you break its shield it’s game from there.

[@LDVenji]

A fully physic tera type Umbreon too and nothing needs to be changed… only thing that you need to change is swap out crunch for stored power. Weak policy and calm mind is gonna make your stored power do crazy damage

[@Perro_Picante]

Hey Austin, I think Chi-Yu with 252 HP, 252 SpA, 4 SpD and light screen, nasty plot & dark pulse might also be an easy win. Also, watched your TotK analysis earlier. Your videos on TotK are getting me so hyped for the game!

[@adamsmith9933]

I tried Chi-Yu and he got wiped super fast with earthquake

[@Perro_Picante]

@@adamsmith9933 I see! I guess it's all down to Annihilape then hahaha

[@WillDawg01]

I made a Normal Tera Ceruledge with Flash Fire holding a Razor Claw work as a solo. I even had Arcanine on my team, which actually helped since it kept getting one-shot so it stacked Intimidates rapidly. Turns 1 and 2 use Shadow Sneak. Get KO'd. Turn 3 use Shadow Sneak. Turn 4 Tera. Then Swords Dance to +6. Heal cheer when/if needed. Then spam Shadow Claw for the sweet crits.

[@PokeMario-pk4ot]

I went with greninja on this. Night slash with metronome to deal super effective damage, rain dance to remove sunny day, resists both shadow ball and eruption
