HOW TO SOLO LEGENDARY FIVE-STAR RAIDS in Pokémon GO!! Easy Guide for Next Level Raiding!

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

Oh, and I've also soloed Attack Form Deoxys and Regieleki 🫡

[@AIW997]

Easiest 🤣

[@cedricgant8535]

I didn’t know Regileki was soloable

[@RachelsSweetie]

Attack Deoxys has such a razor thin defense I was easily soloing it after playing only a year. Four years later I'm still looking for at least a trio to take down other legendaries.

[@silviomorales6523]

I’m a new player… well a 2016 player for 3 months who just returned to the game in novemeber 2023…. My deck is very limited and so is my stardust, but Im ambitious, I had a decent mamoswine that would always be suggested for raid battles, noticed he performed ok, so I maxed out as much as I can and started working on a second mamo swine im building, got a precious sinnoh stone and boom I evolved my 3rd mamoswine with the best ivs yet, used some fast tm and charged tms to give em all powder snow, avalanche & high horsepower Now Im having fun in the raids, that mamoswine has helped me out a lot…

[@thecoolvillager666]

great Im someone with NO community or they are 40 mins away and seeing a way to solo raid bosses espically GOOD ones is amazing

[@keanukoren6109]

I lost my first account, made ~2018 and having restarted, its genuinely painful trying to work my way to raids again. I have 3 gyms in my area that constantly just cycle Mega Manectric over and over AND OVER (with the occasional lugia), theres never a 2-4*. Since I started again, the only events to pass are the Halloween and Mankey that just happened, so my account is far from doing these raids and it sucks

[@gcnielsen651]

No offense, but I think content creators who have influence over Niantic’s decisions are dangerous. I’m tired of hearing how limiting remote raids to five per day is some sort of game changing negative. At over $1 a piece, how many players are paying $150 per month just to farm up Verizion? Answer: only the very few whose income is dependent upon their shundo/hundo/shiny flex. The vast, vast majority of us will only do 5 remote raids per legendary release. For this video, it is completely crazy to me to suggest an average (or even every day) player consider soloing a Rayquaza by “simply” leveling up a full team of shadow Mamoswines to level 50. Perhaps you should do a video on how, exactly, one acquires that much candy XL and Stardust. How many hours would that take? How much money? Break it down. For the record, I am a level 48 player who has played since July 2016. I play every day. I can max out perhaps 2 decent shadow Mamoswines. Instead, it is FAR easier to find two others to play with. Costs nothing. I honestly fear content creators are going to push sentiment towards a style of play that suits only those who have a full time job to commit to playing.

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

I appreciate your feedback, but your assumptions about me are completely off.

[@gcnielsen651]

@@CountJinsulaOfficial I apologize for my comments coming off as a personal attack. They were not meant to be that way. I certainly could have worded things differently. Overall, I like your content and appreciate your work. I would encourage more content focused on gameplay for a wider audience. I know that is difficult for those whose most loyal and consistent supporters are the top 1% of one percent of players, but there is a real risk of Niantic chasing the most vocal players, who do not often represent the vast majority of the community. I personally think a return to the old ways of managing remote raids would be horrible if it resulted in Niantic further incentivizing 5 star raids. With regards to this video, I think a simple recognition of the extreme challenge in collecting XL and stardust would help.

[@riceandcheese1463]

@@rrogers2370in a heartbeat

[@alexayres7642]

Mostly agree. Remotes should be limited so that people can’t just buy all the raid Pokémon with zero effort. The whole point of this game is that you go out and play. You also lose the community with over focussing on remotes which for me, is the best thing about raiding. You’re a little harsh with soloing raids though. Yes some of the teams are incredibly difficult to obtain but it’s useful to know which 5 star raids are soloable without potentially wasting a pass in trying it, which is the point of this video. As an example, Guzzlord is really easy requiring zero XL candy to defeat which is useful for players to know.

[@openmilhouse]

Not everyone is able to find other people to raid with also. Especially those in rural communities. So soloing may be the only way to defeat some legendaries, for me personally it’s a goal to be able to solo a legendary raid. it’s gonna take time but it is very easy to get plenty of candy and XL candy. You just have to catch quite literally everything you see

[@davidm4773]

Excluding Shadow raids, I don't see why people don't use campfire more often! I almost never see anything about it in comments or videos and it makes the whole process of finding people to raid with so much easier. You can join up a raid with a remote raid pass with other players or you can host a raid locally with a regular raid pass. It's super simple and I do it all the time. While yes, soloing a five-star raid would be really cool but campfire makes it to where there's no need to have to be able to do that, only if you want to.

[@BATATAFLOW]

Before they came out with campfire a lot of people had set up groups, I agree with you .. I’ve never seen another player on that app yet! Been playing since 2016

[@andrewfrzr]

I wonder how much of your community is even on this level. Personally the stardust required to upgrade pokes to that level I’m not close too. Still trying to get to a million stardust. Barely have xl candies for budget/spawn Pokémon. I’m currently still rounding my team out trying to have two-three very strong piles of each type. I’m just now able to solo three stars

[@richardcope3077]

PvP and an auto catcher

[@Gambler_乃east]

@@richardcope3077You’d have to play pvp for over a year to get anywhere close to 1mil stardust…That’s if you’re playing everyday, leveling up to 20 and getting the 5-6k stardust after 5 wins….5 wins in a row doesn’t happen that often once you’re in rank 20…Like, that’s just not a good way to grind. I’d recommend grinding field research, special research, and playing a lot during events. Specifically double, triple or 4x stardust events. Playing during a spotlight hour with a stardust boosted mon, and dropping a star piece, will get you wayyyyy more stardust than playing pvp constantly for any amount of time. You just gotta be on the watch for when certain stardust boosted mons get a spotlight hours, when double or better stardust boost are active during events, and the best advice of all…just catch ‘em all. 50 pokemon (non stardust boosted) = 5k stardust. 🫡

[@samuelmartinez3382]

Yea but pvp is kinda boring

[@JohnathonMyers]

Another note for solo-ing raid bosses ... I would caveat that there are negative effect dependencies on the raid bosses' charged move, as well as positive effect dependencies on the current weather/weather boost in the game for your counter Pokemon.

[@MrWhitmen1981]

The game can have so much more content, community days need dual Pokémon it makes it far more fun and engaging. The game has so much creativity it could be used with. It would be cool if we could release a Pokémon at a stop and others could catch it. 😂

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

I love the "leaving a Pokémon at a stop" idea

[@mooganify]

Interesting idea tbh

[@MultiJejje]

I don't like dual community day pokemon. It would hurt players who can't play that day even more, they'd miss 2 pokemon instead of one and have to wait till December.

[@shadowdrakes]

Honestly it needs to be both weekend days. I work Sundays so always miss out on Sunday events and can't always waste work time off for pogo. Good compromise is either have it be on both weekend days or where a player can trigger their CD event on whatever day they want during specific week.

[@MrRobertb27]

The second people start making it easy to get something in a game the game dies. Happens in every game. People hate grindy games but dont understand its the grind and rarity that makes the game fun and addictive. Once its easy to get things people slow down and eventually quit. Not to mention half the fun in games like these is the flex. If everyone has it and its easy why play.

[@man.in.thx.box59]

Dude being honest most players don't have the time or money to max out Pokemon like that it's ridiculous it should be designed so different players can team up together or make it easier to power up it just cost too much money

[@flamingwrecker2598]

My girlfriend and I did our first Duo Mega Raid against Glaile with Party Play and I had my Mega Shiny Charizard Y and we won since I manage to almost max out my Mega Shiny Charizard and she also had the right counters too.

[@ShadyRK9]

Soloing Guzzlord was fun! (When it didn't have Sludge Bomb!)

[@inVINCEible64]

Solo’d my first ever 5 star raid (Buzzwole) two days ago with a Shundo buddy boost lv49.5 Rayquaza. Max revives and setting up a party with just 1 pokemon helps.

[@ryankriller1931]

Wait doesnt the boss heal a bit every time you go back in? Also you did it with just rayquaza?

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

Awesome job 💪

[@Marvel.I.L]

I never soled a five star raid boss because it was to hard, but i will use this trick the 2x weakness in the future. Ty for the info

[@psychedpanda3333]

the only one i soloed was guzzlord lol

[@traverserred]

Party play has made raids even easier with limited players

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

Very true. If you can't solo it yet, you can at least very easily duo it with party play

[@pingu6028]

Lets be real: easiest way is to make an alt. Most players have one anyway and even if you dont It basically needs no time anymore to reach lvl 30 and from there you can just catch some high level weather-boosted mons if in rotation. Even if the alt/main arent really good you cover quite a lot of 5 stars also thanks to party play. The revive all button also helps out a bit.

[@johnsanko4136]

I haven't tried soloing 5* raids yet, but when I did my last buzzwole raid I definitely felt like my mega rayquaza could have gotten very close without aid. I'll have to give it a go next time I see a raid.

[@lathrael7152]

With mega Pidgeot and perhaps couple of helpers you can EASILY solo Phermosa.

[@ProcyonDei]

Most players who play MMOs play alone anyways. Why? Because people like the idea of a vast game where friends can just join at any point, but most people don't like having to play with random strangers...

[@juliantorres1139]

How about some solo raids videos… … Love your videos by the way…. Great work ..!!!

[@CountJinsulaOfficial]

I have a bunch as shorts 😋

[@NoCamera-ej1ss]

lmao, the reason I searched this up was because I had 3 of my remote passes eaten on the community day since people kept ditching in the last 5 seconds :)

[@numannorshahrin18]

the effort to be out in the cold to make this video. salute

[@ecornely]

That sounds a good goal to try solo bosses. I'm still only able to solo level 3 bosses right now but that could become an objective for me. Thanks for the idea. Though finding enough stardust to power-up to max the basic pokemons I've chosen will already take me ages and once I'm able to fight in cool raids I'll probably catch nicer pokemon that will again take me ages to power-up. I suspect I could get bored trying to max pokemons quite soon.

[@ANumberOfNames_PoGo]

Mega houndoom with only water mons and without relobby was a hard one. Also mega Venusaur was really challenging

[@williamundefied6192]

Me and my girlfriend can duo pretty much every legendary at the moment with the help of party play, megas and best friend boost but having more people is always more enjoyable

[@isaacclarke5606]

iirc i have soloed attack deoxys, guzzlord, mega scizor, genesect, rayquaza, pheromosa and probably something else i cant remember.. alot were hard and fun and some were too ez (mega scizor f.e) but imma try out more 2x weakness bosses :)

My name is Sam. I live in Sweden inside a farm with forest and a huge lake. My only stop spawn is at the lake in the bath place at the Volley ball sand course. And legendaries I manage to catch is Diancie and Shaymin. I have Diancie and her mega evolution tho I didnt evolve it before the raid I just did today. My very first legendary raid boss. I did raid boss with some group of kids but was a Duragon but this time I actually manage to beat Rayquaza and I caught it! I was so hyped and happy if I could scream coz Im voice cracked and my voice pretty deep I can't make a good scream but I was trying to make one coz that how happy I was coz I have this friend from Belgium and she invited me to that raid and I couldn't be more happier! But yeah that why all my ice types went all front. I had lot of pokemon fainting but I so appreciate that the raid let me use more pokemon. I thought once my first team was out I was out of the raid but nope I could replace them with more pokemon and I did until I actually defeated Rayquaza who was Mega btw and I caught it. Im super happy! But I think if I had Mega Diancie it had been great. My Probopas was able to tank it quite good too with nice stats. I feel if I can defeat Ray then I dont have a bad feeling for the rest. I cant wait for a next boss raid now ! :D
