Icy Wind/(Target) Triple Axel Dynamax Articuno Solo Battle, NoWB, T3 helper, w/ Lv40 team + Mushroom

[@crailbench]

I've never understood how to maximize on the dodging but after watching this, seeing you swipe on the first !!! and then swipe again in the next !!! you seem to dodge successfully every time, nice. Can't wait to try and solo this beautiful bird on my own later. Thanks for a great vid and tutorial.

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Thank you! Hope this video helps on your fight!

[@Aeronixable]

Noo, you only dodge one time when the lines are yellow. If you do it right, your pokemon will move by themself back to the same position just when the attack comes. If you dodge when the lines are red you most likely will fail

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

@@Aeronixable yea the second "swipe" is the result from server lags, the server only register the dodge a few seconds after and it shows the animation again

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Thank you! Good luck on your solo!

[@biomechsamurai1921]

I can't play go currently because my device doesn't support but I would like to ask why u didn't use lapras charged move

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Lapras charged moves does not deal any significant damage but it would slow down the Max Meter charging speed, which in turn gives Articuno opportunity to use more moves. It is simply not worthwhile to do so. If you are using Excadrill/Metagross, Rock Slide and Meteor Mash would be a great damage source, though.

[@lossypooh]

Good job bro, I'll definitely try to solo because I haven't gotten persons around me to join

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Thank you! Good luck on your solo!

[@x54xHantamachine]

I wonder if its possible without shroom... my level 50 metagross was putting in work the other day, but idk if it can handle it quite like this.

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Someone has tested no shroom solo. The best they got was around 60% without weatherboost/helper using Excadrill.

[@raphaeld4313]

Yeah, I did that no mushroom test just to see if I could solo with mushroom, not with the actual intention of beating it without. If Articuno comes back after we get ourselves some strong Dmax rock types, it might just happen

[@xGERKENATORx]

You’re a total legend!

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Thank you!

[@Kerkerian]

Wow GG Can someone explain to me what is the difference between gigamax and dynamax in pogo? What does it change ? We barely made it for articuno with 4 people and lvl30 mons not maxed out, we are not sure we will be able to do it for zapdos, any recommendations? 🙏

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Gigantamax Moves has 100 more base power, which usually translate to ~25% more firepower to the Pokemon. For Zapdos you want to use Excadrill (you got Dynamax Drilbur in next set of time reserach) and a heavy hitter like Gigantamax Lapras/Gengar or Dynamax Articuno

[@Poketuberkaran4122]

1k subs soon❤

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Thank you! Great to see people finding the contents here are helpful and thanks for your support!

[@maciejpawlik6573]

What do you think about dynamax metagross as a tank and gigantamax charizard as attacker?

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Metagross does not have access to 0.5s fast move so it is not desirable as a tank. It can be used as shield though (switch into Metagross when Articuno attacks, and switch out again after the hit)

[@FelipeXFelipeX]

Does having a quickier fast move allow it do dodge more precisely or generate more gauge? I believe zaptos is next, what will be your strategy?

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

@ It is mainly for charging Max Meter. For Zapdos, Excadrill is the only practical choice as tank. And the choice of attacker is also very limited, it would be either Gengar or Lapras

[@gilbert2821]

very nice. had to team up with my friends just to get this articuno. we always end up leaving 1 mon remaining for each of us. wish we had the same strong mon like this for solo in the future. 😂

[@Sol_Calibre]

So would this be possible with say… Duo trainers, level 30, with/without mushrooms?

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

You charge up Max Meter much faster with an additional trainer, so it should be possible with the same setup

[@Ruthless-eg9gl]

Possible with T2 Helpers? Wonder if we can do it without any help ? Any chance😮?

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Given there is a spare G-Max Stun Shock at the end, it should be possible with T1 helper or higher

[@Ruthless-eg9gl]

@pogoraidsgameplay2527 thanks mate !!

[@steven1529]

It's amazing. May I ask why you did not use the charged move?

[@Win_RAR]

Probably so he can focus on dodging. Doing a charge move stops you from dodging I think.

[@raphaeld4313]

Slows down max meter progress against bosses with high HP

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

The main objective is to survive, Lapras does not have any strong charged move (against Articuno) so it won't make any meaningful contribution on damage anyway. Using only fast move make sure the Max Meter charges as fast as possible.

[@1StevenValdez1]

Correct me if I'm wrong. But the reason you only want to use the fast move is that it adds the same amount on the max meter, but it will take longer if you did charged moves. Even if it was Metagross with charged moves you're The idea is to fill it up and use the Gigantamax Attack to deal the real damage. For example Metagross with Bullet punch takes 900ms Flash Cannon takes 2700ms. So you could be doing 3 more fast attacks to charge the Max meter up instead of dealing a charged move. Even in a team i just always use fast attacks, especially doing a Solo like this.

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

@@1StevenValdez1 That's the general idea. If you go deeper it is a trade-off between using Charged Moves (like Meteor Mash) vs taking more damage from the boss and compensate it with Max Spirit/Max Guard. I believe Metagross would still prefers using Meteor Mash in general, since it has a slower fast move and lack of G-Max moves. It also tends to stay in field such that there is no switching overhead differs to glassier attacker like Toxtricity and Charizard.

[@abinashdash8833]

two questions-please explain when exactly are you dodging 2nd whats t3 helper

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

You dodge when there are 3 lines shown above your Pokemon. You have to swipe before those lines turn red. T3 helper is the number of gloves shown in the lobby. It applies to power spot with 4-14 helpers

[@abinashdash8833]

@ thank you

[@TheHambabe]

Insane achievement. I look forward to your solo/duo of the other 2 birds if you plan on doing them too.

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

The remaining two birds would probably be duo, there is no Pokemon tanks Moltres/Zapdos moves as well as Lapras on Articuno.

[@hunterofbosses]

Excadrill can tank Zapdos better than Lapras with Articuno. Moltres is gonna be hard

[@hunterofbosses]

For Moltres, maybe with a Max phase using 3 Shields. Fast moves Will add over time and gmax kingler is stronger than toxtricity, só, maybe.

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

@@hunterofbosses Problem with Moltres is to survive between Max Phase. It would nearly defeat Excadrill from full even with Ancient Power/Sky Attack.

[@OriginBubble7]

@@pogoraidsgameplay2527we will see depending on how strong gmax kingler is to moltres

[@rmartinez24]

Excelent teachings. I wonder if the shroom only potentiates its user or all the players in the team.

[@ajaygrit8196]

@rmartinez24, unfortunately the max mushroom only works on the user itself. But still a great item

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Mushroom only applies to yourself

[@Gojira452]

Music? Also great job soloing articuno (:

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

The music used is "Super Mario SezNative Reminiscence - Divine Sentence" which is a remix of "SHIKI - Air".

[@inviso87]

This makes me a lot more confident in winning. I managed to get a group of 4 together but I am the only one with good stuff. Lv 40 GigaLapras, Lv 40 GigaTox, and Lv 40 GigaZard but Zard will be the damage dealer b/c I maxed out his Giga Attack. I have a DynaGross as well in case the GigaTox isn't working but I think this will be more than enough with their guys (who all have 1-2 DynaGross's at Lv 40).

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Just make sure they would cheer after their Pokemon are all fainted and you should be fine.

[@inviso87]

@@pogoraidsgameplay2527 Yep! That's the plan. We will be 3 man for 1 of them (someone forgot to do the research and so cannot do 3 of these) but I figure if you can solo and I have very close to a similar team to yours, it should be fine. Congrats on this huge W btw.

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

It would be a good alternative as attacker

I have that exact setup and wi was working much better than my gmax Tox, who i dont have enough candies to level so is only level 30 with level 2 attack

Did you just solo dynamax articuno before normal raid articuno

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Reminded me I have never did that solo, hope it would returns to raid battles soon.

[@Iregnideifunghi]

Could Blastoise replace Lapras? Why didn't you use the charged move? The video is amazing👏

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

Lapras move is too weak, it might be better to let Toxtricity participate more in the fight though. Lapras has the advantage of double resisting the moves and also higher HP stats. Blastoise won't survive as long as Lapras unfortunately.

[@Iregnideifunghi]

[@DheubtJurel]

This is insane bro you did the impossible thing after how many try bro

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

3rd try on having Icy Wind/Triple Axel or Triple Axel/Icy Wind. First two attempts failed into server lagging during Max Hour when a lot players playing the game together. It was almost impossible to dodge during that hour (so don't think the NZ players who duo'd it were playing badly, it was not their fault to fail dodges)

[@raphaeld4313]

​@@pogoraidsgameplay2527So the lag wasn't just me then haha

[@trev1842]

Well done, man! Do you think it's still possible if the Articuno is using other moves against you? I really want to try it. Sadly i dont have gmax lapras tho.

[@raphaeld4313]

Nah, no way. Have to reset till this one for the solo to work

[@trev1842]

I see. I hope I find one. Good luck if you're trying!

[@pogoraidsgameplay2527]

You need this specific moveset since all others hit too hard.

[@trev1842]

Thanks, Do you think metagross/blastiose can be a good tank for this?​@@pogoraidsgameplay2527

[@marrow94]

I really hope it's doable with three people in total and no Gigamax mons.
