How to Beat VOLO in Battle | Hardest Battle in History ► Pokemon Legends Arceus

[@huntermc94]

When I met Volo I thought “yep he’s a villain.” And I thought like that so much throughout the game until he brought me to the ancient retreat I trusted him and ofc he decides to betray me lmao

[@ConCon]

Yep he was so suspicious

[@skynikan]

Didn't see it coming... the video was a surprise, I'm like 2 missions away from this 😭

[@Ivy-zi4hi]

my EXACT thoughts the whole game

[@beenbanished]

I knew I’d have to fight Beni too, ever since the first encounter

[@VirizionDoesGaming12]

OMG SAME HE GAVE OFF SUS VIBES

[@unironicpanda]

This was the hardest battle ever! Didnt help that all my pokemon were mid-60s. This guide was so helpful! I used Empoleon instead of Gyarados.

[@ConCon]

Perfect replacement, glad it helped!

[@xx_reap3r_xx121]

Don't have an Empoleon on my team... Can still beat this guy but with level 70s all from the obsidian fieldlands bar one being a Garchomp which I caught as a Gible in the Coronet Highlands but thing is wasn't expecting to fight Giratina (Altered Form) then Giratina (Origin Form) but I know I can beat them. i want to capture every other Pokemon before fighting them again plus Volo. Edit: My team includes Luxray, Samurott,Espeon,Rapidash,Starptor and Garchomp. Everyone on my team is almost level 80 except for Garchomp who is level 68 right now. P.S Espeon is kinda broken. Grit items are also kind of broken. Also My Espeon was my highest level and could two shot Giratina (Altered Form). So yeah Espeon with high SpAttack is especially good against Giratina provided its fast enough. It also could've ohko'd Giratina (Orign Form) but I kind of didn't think it could but was proven wrong by the normal Shadow Ball getting it down to very low health. So yeah Espeon hits like a truck.

[@mythicaxis9757]

[@jessicabirch6217]

[@fluffyfoxpop2354]

I beat him on the first try thanks to the alpha clefable from fabled springs. Feed it some grit, particularly for its hp, def, and spdef. That pink chonky fairy soloed both giratina battles with calm mind, moon blast, and draining kiss.

[@ConCon]

Nice!

[@dragonboyROCKS7620]

Pink chonky fairy 💀🤣🤣💀💀

[@TheProstateMan]

I tried to beat him without using healing items, and shuffled my team around a bunch. Finally I caved and bought a bunch of full revives and beat him first try. This fight is definitely difficult no doubt.

[@TheProstateMan]

My team was Blissey, Rhyperior, Goodra, Snorlax, Infernape, and Garchomp.

[@ConCon]

Definitely a good team there too

[@basil5387]

That's too relatable

[@lukesworldfullofstuff]

@@ConConthis Team really helped with my Gyarados going first annihilating some of his Pokémon

[@shyannbennett3392]

Thank you so much, this was a perfect guide! I wasn't quite as high level as you but I followed your team and moves and managed to beat him quite easily :) I did make sure to have max revives to make healing easier.

[@ConCon]

I'm glad it helped, good job!

[@prestongreene2663]

Dialga is great to use vs his Roserade to tank a bunch of hits and heal up for Giratina. You should also be able to buy max revives from the vendors at that point of the game too.

[@ConCon]

Yes thats a great idea

[@Swixth_Editor]

It's Been 11 months since this video released, i remember i used it for my first time with volo, and just today beat my 2nd playthrough using your guide again. Thank you for All the Effort for the Video !!! :)

[@ConCon]

Glad to help you with it

[@telbiyano9575]

Man this battle was quite something lol! First attempt I was able to beat his team or so I thought until he pulled out Giratina then he beat me. Second attempt, I beat his team yet again and had 4 Pokemon to deal with Giratina. I beat Giratina and then it decided to transform into its origin form much to my surprise and it then demolished my only remaining Pokemon. So from there I decided to go hyperbolic time chamber training mode and got my Pokemon to lvl 1oo and even then Volo still put up a fight.

[@ConCon]

Yeah he still hits hard no matter your level hahaha

[@Serious5GamingS5G]

Tip: dont rely on Dialga's Roar of time or Palkia's Spacial rend to finish off Giratina because they miss more than half of the time

[@ConCon]

Fair enough

[@mythicaxis9757]

Man I must be lucky then😅

[@mcsuprsmackmcsuprsmack3624]

I lost to him 4 times before developing a good team and strat to him. In case anyone wants to use my team it was: Typhlosion lv. 71 Darkrai lv. 70 (specifically for giratina) Empoleon lv.68 Zoroark lv.67 Luxray lv.68 (with play rough for spiritomb) Gliscor lv.66 (Empoleon is good to stall against togekiss so you can revive teammates before giratina comes out if needed)

[@ConCon]

Nice, good job! I almost used Gliscor as well

[@cinderfolf3381]

My team to beat him Cresselia lv 70 ( it’s tanky has a good heal move so it gives me time to use revives) Alpha Lucario lv 80 Luxray lv 75 Regigigas lv 70 Gliscor lv 88 ( is my highest level Pokémon he tanked so many hits while I was reviving half my team and did good damage to lucario) Dialga lv 70 (to use against giratina) It wasn’t the smartest team but the gang pulled off an amazing fight

[@blocke7596]

W team, boxing the starter is mad disrespect.

[@Wolverine54239]

My team was Garchomp (Cause it’s Garchomp 😂) gengar with dazzling gleam to handle spiritomb and giratina if it lived the first fight, glaceon to take hits and handle Garchomp, dialga to handle giratina, scizor as a counter to togekiss and heatran. I had a dusknoir that I was gonna use against it because of the fond memories I had with it, but I went with gengar instead because he hits like a truck, and is much much faster even if dusknoir is bulkier. Also dusknoir couldn’t learn any fairy type moves sooo

[@Geno810]

My team to beat him (Great team, covers every type) Typlosion (Lv. 84) Alpha Garchomp (Lv. 83) Gardevoir (Lv. 83) Electrode (Lv. 84) Alpha Sneasler (Lv. 84) Alpha Zoroark (Lv. 82) I decided to fill up the dex before doing some parts of the story. Ended up making my team 20 levels higher and max stats. One shotted his team.

[@SolarOrbitx]

Thank you so much I’ve been stuck trying to beat Volo for months now

[@ConCon]

You're welcome

[@GrnArrow092]

It took me nearly 10 times to beat Volo. One strategy I learned before I beat Volo is to first have my Pokemon at level 80 or above. The Pokemon I took into this battle were Cresselia, Luxray, Raichu, Heatran, Palkia, and Dialga. I started out with Palkia, using his most powerful moves to one shot most of his Pokemon. The next thing I did when I needed to revive and heal Pokemon was to send out Cresselia and use that Pokemon as a shield because her Lunar Blessing move makes her capable restoring her HP to maximum after taking a hit that will reduce it to half. After taking down Volo's six Pokemon, I used Dialga and Palkia's more powerful moves to take on Giratina. I knew that if they failed, I could switch back to Cresselia to restore them. Having Cresselia on my team and having my Pokemon leveled high enough were more than enough to ensure my victory over Volo.

[@ConCon]

Nice work on beating Volo, its the toughest battle I've had to do as well. Cresselia is a life saver

[@rayquaza4924]

Lost to him 20 times in a row cuz of the damn giratina. Then I realized all my mons were 60-70 LOL. But I don’t like how u need to be over leveled to beat him. Giratina is way too op especially how it always turns “obscure” and just when I thought I won, it turned to origin form and u have to fight it ALL OVER AGAIN. Easily the hardest fright in Pokémon history no debate. I also decided not to use dialga or palkia to make it more fun like how I always do in previous games

[@ConCon]

Then you are going to need one hell of a strategy.

[@timhiltz6323]

My Walrein was my mvp beating Giratina , I was level 88.

[@Magic-nx2fb]

You don't *have* to be over leveled, but it's definitely a very difficult fight and I'd recommend faster pokemon. I don't know the exact math of the action speed, but with faster pokemon, you're able to switch and still act first. The only mon I had "overleveled" was my Rapidash at level 75 going into this fight and I could reliably switch into it and still get the first hit, if not being able to agile style double hit into another attack. My level 69 Luxray was also fast enough to act after a switch usually. Giratina is definitely annoying because of the obscure effect, but you can trick it out of doing that with a snorlax. Giratina knows Aura Sphere, which would be super effective against snorlax, but snorlax is a tank with a good Sp. def, so a well trained one can tank about 4 of them depending on the style giratina uses. It gives you a little time to revive a couple other pokemon if you need to or you can use high horsepower to get some damage in. My other main pokemon against giratina was sylveon because it can agile calm mind into mystical fire to take very little damage from shadow force as well as reduce giratina's attacks against the next mon you send out. My full team had been Samurott (65), Sylveon (66), Palkia (66), Luxray (69) Rapidash (75) Snorlax (66)

[@rayquaza4924]

@@Magic-nx2fb Ty for the tips

[@TimmyTam]

I did a *lot* of exploring before fighting him, my team was in the 70s, consisting of Decidueye, Alpha Garchomp, Alpha Walrein, Togekiss, Luxray and Zoroark. Toughest fight by a longshot. Having a lot of coverage moves helps immensely, such as Walrein with Iron Head, since it'll destroy Arcanine easily with a water move, then can pretty easily take care of Roserade (given you survive the hit) with Ice Beam and can cover the Togekiss with Iron Head. Didn't plan for this fight ahead of time, but I think this team worked out pretty well, since I won first try, by the skin of my teeth lmao

[@ConCon]

Very nice, the best way to win

[@tobeboom2663]

You lot wanted an actual challenge in a Pokémon game and ohoho you got one.

[@ConCon]

[@theunknown3587]

My brilliant strat: 1. somehow kill volo‘s entire team so 2 Pokémon of mine survive, one being Gardevoir. 2. Go against Giratina with A LOT of revives. 3. wait out his shadow move thingy. 4. revive entire team and heal full while gardevoir tanks with defense buff and only weak moves by giratina. 5. go in second phase and pray I don’t miss all attacks cuz of the smoke. 6. not really profit cuz I used 20+ revives and potions lol.

[@ConCon]

Hahaha yeah there's that way to cling on to dear life

[@dandroiddoes3531]

Did that but with lilligant which is a very surprising pokemon to end up being a tank. When giratina was up I basically spammed victory dance and potions while slowly reviving and healing my entire team. Giratina actually ran out of pp before turning into its origin form so lilligant definitely went above expectations. Team consisted of samurott, infernape, crobat, raichu, lilligant (the mvp) and kleavor. Samurott did all the work in defeating giratina and bringing origin giratina to yellow. Crobat finished it off thanks to aerial ace never missing.

I've never been prouder with myself in a Pokemon game than beating Volo after 15 trys with no items, Ursuluna, Sneasler, Avalugg, Electrode, Zororark, & Samurrot was my team, all levels ranging between 62-70. *DO NOT OVER LEVEL OR USE IN GAME ITEMS* it will make it so much more rewarding, I didn't specially craft this team either to beat him, before the games came out I made this list of the 6 pokemon I wanted to use based on all the leaked new forms, this was my playthrough team once I got to the Alabaster Icelands. Good luck to anyone who tries to do this with their team without items, legends, or overleveling!

Dialga can take out giratina one on one but he was always the only team member that could and since there were two giratinas and changing up my team stopped me beating his first six I just couldnt. But I finally managed to sweep through with sylveon(vs spiritomb), drifblim(vs roserade), and palkia(vs arcanine, togekiss) dying to take out his team members and my newly raised garchomp stomping both his garchomp and lucario to finish the first battle, then agile/strong combo outraging the first giratina. Once that was down it was just the dialga vs giratina one on one for the finish, and two roar of times won the fight. Dialga was level 85, palkia 78, the ninetales I didn't end up even using 75 and sylveon, drifblim and garchomp were level 70, roughly. ...wait, you won by spamming healing items and revives?

[@ConCon]

Buying time to revive and heal other pokemon while a tank pokemon takes the hits yeah. Awesome work on your strategy, good job!

[@zygardegodslayer4750]

@@ConCon amusingly enough on all prior attempts ninetales was a vital part of the team, with type coverage and massive special attack letting him oneshot most anything that wasn't a giratina, but on the final battle I ended up so focused on keeping the heavy hitters alive that drifblim with mystical fire and garchomp took down the enemies ninetales did on prior runs. And of course he can't really do anything to giratina, so my successful attempt didn't end up using one of my best team members at all.

I didn’t have much of a problem with the fight against his team and Giratina. What I used was a Darkrai. With Dark Void and HEX. I also had another Darkrai randomly traded to me, I taught it Hex and ONE-SHOT Giratina (Both Phases). This is only if you have BD or SP save files. If you haven’t beaten Volo yet, use Darkrai with Hex and Dark Void. Dark Void is more accurate than Hypnosis, so don’t bother using something like Drifblim. Hex does 2x damage if the Pokémon is inflicted with a status condition. Combine that with Giratina’s Ghost Weakness. And the STRONG STYLE version of it. If you send out Darkrai, Volo’s Giratina may use Aura Sphere instead of Shadow Force. Strong Style 4x Hex is overpowered.

[@ConCon]

Oh nice!!

[@Alola_love7119]

Managed to get him on my 3rd try using my story team limiting my self to 3 healing items, since I'm pretty sure that's how he uses, didn't use all 3 healing items tho. My team's levels were mid 70's with one very low 80's. It's probably important that before my 3ed attempt, instead of increasing my levels, I increased each of my Pokemons's EL to 10 in their best stats. It was definitely one of the coolest fights in all of Pokémon, it was super fun for the most part. My team was Decidueye (Grass/Fighting) Overqwil (Poison/Dark) Basculegion (Water/ Ghost) Goodra (Dragon/ Steel) Zoroark (Normal/Ghost) Arcanine (Fire/ Rock)

That battle... I barely survived Giratina's first form after being surprised by the lack of chances to heal up, considering the game was pretty generous with healing before. In the end I beat it on the second try with my playthrough team, around Level 70, Thyphlosion, Staraptor, Luxray, Roserade, Gardevoir and Walrein, and only due to sheer luck. Giratina Origin Form missed a move, giving me the chance to finish it, in the end two of my Pokemon were alive but barely...

I don’t know, I’ve expected so much from this battle, yet it was so easy for me. I’ve got there with my Cresselia on lvl 86 and she basically 1 hit all of his Pokémon. Only had to use 2 max hp pots and I didn’t have to use any other Pokémon but her. When it ended I was like: “so… that’s all?”. Watching many other videos like yours make me think I shouldn’t have leveled her nor used the two HP pots, if I really wanted a challenge. :/ not even the rest of the game was fun. I’ve caught Giratina after 2 hits, using Cresselia as well, and I don’t know man, I think i did it wrong.

I somehow beat this third try. The first try I was severely underleveled, the second try Giratina got me, and the third try I barely beat Giratina.

[@ConCon]

Close battle then

[@AlvinEarthworm]

I was honestly expecting the worst from how some people were talking about this fight, yet my level 85 Cresselia managed to solo his team and both Giratina forms quite easily. I made sure Cresselia's effort levels were all rank 10 and gave it a Bold mint to max out its defense. (It originally had a relaxed nature). I even taught it Ice beam which made quick work of Volo's Roserade and Garchomp. Then it was just a matter of doing normal attacks (no Agile or Strong styles) while keeping it healed/obscured with Lunar Blessing. It was hilariously easy.

The true MVP out there hahaha

[@CalebCalixFernandez]

I managed to defeat Volo in my first try, just like I did with Cynthia in Diamond. Giratina, however, mopped the floor with my team. That's why I decided to get Togekiss: it's immune to dragon and ground type attacks, so Dragon Pulse and Earth Power were not a threat. Aura Sphere is resisted 4 times, so not much damage there. The only real (but not quite) danger was Shadow Force. I just saved Togekiss from my battle with Volo in my second try and I defeated Giratina easily.

[@ConCon]

Great work! glad you beat the Giratina

[@iggywiggy4858]

I still think Cynthia is harder, he took me 7-8 times to beat and Cynthia took me over 10 times

[@ConCon]

Really? I was able to take cynthia out with just a garchomp that used stat boosting items and spammed earthquake

[@iggywiggy4858]

@@ConCon yea I wasn’t prepared and I could never even get to garchomp then when I finally did I just kept getting killed by garchomp then finally I used spatial rend with palkia and beat garchomp

[@VirizionDoesGaming12]

OMG TYSM YOU REALLY HELPED ME! (Cresselia did it all tlike the whole Giratina fight but thanks! If I didn't have Rhyperior, Gardevior, or gyarados I would've been stuck on it.)

[@ConCon]

Nice job! glad it helped

[@Ryan_vdp]

"if you don't have Cresselia you can use Chansey or Blissey as an alternative" You cannot get to this point of the game without having caught Cresselia smh

[@ConCon]

You can actually defeat Cresselia instead of catching her. I defeated another one by accident doing the guardian caves

[@ruinsofreality8022]

Bro you made my battle so much easier. Giratina is so OP, my old Cresselia couldnt bear it!

[@ConCon]

Glad to hear it!

[@OneOfFourLucasMains]

I'm about to reach this battle. This is the first Pokemon battle that I am actually terrified about. EDIT: I had nothing to be afraid of. I won the battle against Volo on my 1st try.

[@ConCon]

Yeah it's really hard

[@OneOfFourLucasMains]

@@ConCon I just defeated him on my first try.

[@lxced_]

By far the most helpful tutorial on here.

[@ConCon]

Thanks

[@ireignsupreme2355]

Professor Laventon’s hat deserves more appreciation

[@ConCon]

Lol

[@glenn8359]

I was humbled by Volo. Tried to beat him with a team of lvl 55-70 Pokemon lol. Going to try this method and catch/train these Pokemon. Thanks for the tips.

[@ConCon]

Good luck!

[@JKS_SPPrepSports]

I went against the grain and used ALL THREE final form Hisuian starters Typhlosion (the one I chose for the main story), Samurott & Decidueye, along with Alpha Gardevoir, Alpha Garchomp and used Luxray with the moves Play Rough and Crunch for coverage.

[@ConCon]

Luxray with those moves is great for this

[@socttcawthonbutnot1021]

Ty dude, I think my team can defeat it if I can lvl it up alot. Ty for the instructions and tips!

[@ConCon]

Good luck for the battle

[@dennndennnn]

Thanks to this team, I actually won after a couple tries! Thank you so much for this video. I didn't even need to get any of my Pokemon to level 80!

[@ConCon]

Nice work!

[@TMB074]

My team I used was Hisuian Typhlosion with shadow ball and 10 EV SPA) Cresselia (the mvp for giratina) Azelf (can do chip damage) Mesprit (our death fodder to heal) Hisuian Dialga (deals with garchomp well and maybe giratina if it’s still alive) Regigigas (deals with the pesky togekiss) Originally I was using heat ran instead of H-Typhlosion but I realized Typhlosions SPA was better so it could deal with it better (if you picked a different starter other than H-Typhlosion you can get the it from laventon just level it up)

[@ConCon]

Nice work!

[@burokkusekushikokkuobama]

The battle was beyond easy. lilligant one shot everyone of volo's pokemon with victory dance, and goodra tanked both giratina fights with shelter and ko'd them. My pokemon were somewhat underleveled too.

[@ConCon]

Nice job!!

[@jonathanwallace8614]

My first run my starter was my last Pokémon and got the last hit on his 6th Pokémon with minima health. There I was, thinking how poetic that ending was…then BOOM *insert evil villain smirk* out comes giratina. Crying commences. Best but also most frustrating fight in any of the games to this point!

[@ConCon]

Yeah it really comes as a surprise

[@jonathanwallace8614]

@@ConCon thanks for responding, I don’t know if you mentioned it in another video or not but I’ve since beat Volo and the biggest difference maker was actually using the grit pebbles, rocks, etc to massively boost my teams stats so they weren’t all getting one shot when he switched out

[@Roblox_videoz]

Thank you so much, I had to restart the whole game since I got a new nintendo but luckily I put my arceus in pokemon home so I transferred it to the new account and made it a fairy type and spammed judgrment

[@michaelamador3203]

This was VERY helpful thank you so much :)

[@ConCon]

Glad to hear that!

[@OllieSutton-f6r]

Volo’s battle theme is insane.so is his team

[@MeddyHeddy]

One Pokemon I would recommend is Alolan Ninetales! If you train the Vulpix up you get from the quest it actually is an asset against four of his Pokemon as well as Giratina.

[@ConCon]

Thanks for the tip!

[@aspiealex9710]

I found a glaceon was really effective, especially against the giratina, ended up 2-shotting its origin form with a lvl 68 glaceon

[@starvinmartinamg]

Thank you so much I'm going to put this into work

[@ConCon]

You got this!

[@jackattack2479]

This battle was quite a struggle, but the main way i beat it is when Volo sent out his roserade, i countered by tanking all the spike attacks with Dialga, because it has so much hp and roserade cant so much to it in any instance. While dialga was tanking i was using the extra time to revive all my KO’d pokemon and healing dialga whenever it got to lower hp. After i ko’d roserade, i had more than enough pokemon to smash giratina both times, thus beating Volo with little struggle.

[@ConCon]

Well done, sounds like you had a fun battle

[@SollupusAtCenter]

this man deserve 5 million subs thank you and consider using max revives you can get them from the guy at the crafting recipes shop hes at the other side of the xp candy shop

[@ConCon]

Lol thanks, glad I could help

[@flodthelunatic5678]

When there was only one Pokémon left in Volo team, I took my garchomp for tanking meanwhile, I used my heal to bring back my Pokémon’s who fall, especially my dusknoir and my Gastrodon

[@BoomSqueak]

My team was Typhlosion, Snorlax, Rhyperior, Diana, Gliscor, and Gliscor. The Gliscors were able to take at least one hit from all his Pokémon without dying and then follow up with a super effective hit against all his Pokémon. Those tag-teaming Gliscors carried my team to victory.

[@ConCon]

Hahaha nice! I wanted to use one but I caught it too late and decided not to since my party was 15 levels higher than my gliscor

[@BoomSqueak]

@@ConCon Yeah, my Gliscor were freshly caught, but they were both level 77 alphas, and I taught one of them Ice Fang. I barely made it, but he carried me all the way! It's also good to see others struggling with that battle as well. It really came out of nowhere with that difficulty spike!

[@MaddoxUnanswered]

Thx so much couldn’t have beat it with out u

[@ConCon]

Well done on it!

[@robloxhead328]

Thank you this helped so much

You're welcome

I'm not going to lie that's literally the exact reason why I came to this video.

Hahaha well I hope it helped

[@chielhaver8831]

Thanks man you really helped me beat him

[@ConCon]

Glad to help

[@jondoe2960]

what makes this battle even more difficult is the fact that you can't level grind because pokemon only gain experience AFTER the battle ends, not during.

[@ConCon]

Yeah and they have to be alive lol

[@flueberly]

i just tanked it all with calm mind + mystical fire togekiss tbh went pretty smoothly

[@ConCon]

Nice job

[@7swordquanta459]

It only took me two times to beat him and Giratina with a team of Gardevoir, H Typhlosion, Golem, Electivire, Floatzel, and H Goodra. My team is mostly levels 75-79. Not to mention, I have lots of Max Revives in ready (used 5 of them) Lastly, Golem, H Goodra, and Floatzel are my walls so that I can revive H Typhlosion and Gardevoir.

[@ConCon]

Awesome, good job on beating him

[@zacharyleduc5392]

On one of my attempts, I was super close, but Giratina in his last form avoided 4 attacks in a row

[@ConCon]

Yeah it's crazy how good Obscure is

[@NACHO6234]

I had 6 Pokemon left when battling Giratina and he wrecked them all. I had the worst rng all my attacks kept missing because he was obscured.

[@ConCon]

Ouch

[@kulvindersinghsidhu4502]

Omg thanks with ur team defeated him first try

[@ConCon]

Well done

[@yo_pikameister88]

Omg wow u are so right and I finally beat volo on the 7th star rank. I’m gonna take on Arceus tomorrow.

[@ConCon]

Good luck!

[@zygarde.r6461]

i used an umbreon and it was able to take 4 aura spheres from giratina before going down. easily the mvp of my team

Nice work!
