Solo Attempts on some Tier 3 Pokemon Raid Bosses (Arcanine, Machamp, Gengar, Alakazam)

[@xLOOTwhips]

What makes this awesome is that the average KZbin would have made this a 15-minute video and you just displayed four fights at once

[@Gregkot]

Yeah! With loads of "HEEEEEEY GUYS WOS GOIN OOOOOON" at the start, so the video doesnt really start until about 2 mins in. Glad this guy didn't do that.

[@ggaboveaveragegamer]

Gregkot that's me, sorry

[@Gregkot]

That's 9 out of 10 youtube gamers! Not just you :)

[@Tuf_frijoles]

D Yeah, I bet he doesn't care about ad revenue like other dead beat pokemon youtubers.

[@ggaboveaveragegamer]

CK well he does since he monetizes his videos but he does give the content we all want right away. I do Pokémon go videos and while mines aren't 15-20 minutes long for a battle they are like 10 minute or 5 minute videos that give the content plus an explanation which I think is acceptable. Or for my gym is under attack glitch video other pogo tubers would have milked it into a 20 minute video but I just did it in under 4 so I'm not so bad

[@rousseaupatrick94]

The Tyranitar looked like it was dancing to the music XD

[@stuartstirland8730]

You're videos are always the most helpful for battling. It's great to see the real life proof of the number crunching that others do

[@salyernuts]

glad to see a new video! can't wait for you to mix up some legacy/new movesets and compare them! I've got a karate chop/close counter that works pretty well for me

[@holdenellis1395]

I think the gym rework is going to break comparison videos because he can't compair against his own mons so he'll have to have a friend with lvl 30 mons that berries them after every test

[@respirra4717]

Great job! I love your editing skills, it makes everything look clear and solid, keep up the work! :)

[@Mangalex28]

Nice vid, good idea to show the 4 fights at the same time. Have a like.

[@GeneJSh]

Nice work. Tier 3 solo is tough.

[@hoodnews.sweden7266]

Mashrane Yeah, i tried to solo Vaporeon yesterday, i got it down to yellow health, i am level 30

[@Rlurkz]

Lvl 30 2 years ago had way less expectations

[@Red-ol8tg]

moral of the story: you can fight anything but not spoons

[@sunnyrewri1660]

Pokémon go

[@greenheron1567]

One of your best videos so far!

[@Stormranger]

There is nothing like getting to see the coolest 3 star raid bosses at the same time! Amazing!

[@stantondodson4135]

Thanks so much for putting this up! Now I know what pokemon to use!

[@Thedancerlol]

Nice good job! It would be fun to also see you solo Vaporeon and Flareon :)

[@Mario4736]

I really wanted the far left one to be Golem. It would be perfect then. All gen 1 Kanto trade evolutions.

[@1manmaiden]

straight to the point of the video , no fucking about , no shit talk [ what's going on guys ] and the best thing is other youtubers [ or whatever it is they call themselves ] would have made this 1 hour long . you have my sub

[@ayaankazi8308]

Can it be done alone?

[@persephone9360]

cool vid. very well put together. i feel like only arcanine and gengar are soloable for me right now at level 33

[@AlanHKBoy]

music is called windfall by thefatrat

[@rdoore723]

Alan Chan thx quite helpful

[@JeffLiu-gk2ll]

I always like your video. This new gym system reworks change a lot. Keep carry on, most of us are still waiting your new product:) we love to see more!!!

[@haichanglu9848]

Please do some recent/legacy combination of moveset comparison, once you obtain enough TM. I wonder if DT/DC dragonite is the best defender, DB/OR is the best offender, for example?

[@Anserosration]

Dnite, regardless of movesets, is terrible in defense given its double weaknesses and change of SE formula. Same thing for Tyranitar and Gary. In fact, type advantage is more important, so a Dnite with Hurricane will be more efficient in dealing with Champ, compared with dragon type moves.

[@AndrewNicosia99]

Dragon Tail/Outrage still does the most damage per second, which is what you really want in raids. Dragon Breath is much much easier to dodge with, though, which is nice against enemy gyms. "The best" will depend on what you want. I think Dragon Breath/Hurricane is an underrated combo. Both moves are very fast and easy to dodge with, like Dragon Breath/Dragon Claw, but Hurricane does more DPS than Dragon Claw.

[@AndrewNicosia99]

What about Steel Wing? It's easier to dodge with than Dragon Tail, and does more damage against Rock types like Tyranitar/Rhydon/Golem (and Ice, Fairy, but you won't attack those with Dragonite), but is otherwise inferior to Dragon Tail and Dragon Breath. I wouldn't go crazy changing every Steel Wing Dragonite, they have their place, but if you do have a good-IV Dragonite you want to power up, I'd make sure it doesn't have Steel Wing.

[@Kurib0]

Snorlax Ah Bui Hahahahahahahaha That's broken

[@MichaelMcCloud29]

Really nice job and obviously the four battles on one screen is legit. Only recently have I seen a tier 4 tyranitar taken down by only two people but they both had almost 6 maxed IV lvl 39 Machamps with Counter/Dynamicpunch. They barely did it and they had THE perfect movesets. No way any tier 4’s are soloable

[@mithunkumar.s2965]

Woah nice video mate. Alakazam is a terror

[@valvalor1923]

Nice video. What editor do you use?

[@FuNKyShO]

Using an open-source freeware editor called "Shotcut" ( www.shotcut.org/ )

[@valvalor1923]

Thanks. :)

[@acheeochee9640]

Nice work!!!! Alakazam was hard for me too.

[@wizardkingtrump434]

Alakazam is the only one I get stuck on as well :(

[@AndrewNicosia99]

I think that Gengar had Sucker Punch? Hex has a pretty distinctive animation. Do you think you could have taken the Alakazam with a few more tries? I dunno how many times you attempted this, but since time was an issue, maybe Gengar would have taken it down faster? Or would that not work because he takes too much damage from Confusion?

[@FuNKyShO]

I did multiple attempts, and this video is my best attempt ;). The worst ones are when the rubber band lag occurred hahah. Didn't considered gengar at that time coz thought my Bite tyranitars are some of my best options against him, plus my maxed out dragonite. Might be possible if I have a few lvl39 Bite/Crunch Tyranitars, but these are the only ones I got now hahah. Yah, agree Gengar is better, but very risky coz so fragile and risked getting 1 shotted (and he will take heavy dmg from Confusion). U can see my lvl 30 tyranitar (with ~75% hp) getting 1 shot by a missed focus blast. While Gengar double resist Focus Blast, not too sure how well he can tanked it if missed hahah.

[@PokemonSoulGold13]

@FuNKyShO what do you think about the ability to now get a Dragonite with Dragon breath/Outrage? Is it gonna be worth it? Please do reply, or even make a video about it! :)

[@bhutos]

Got one, they're pretty cool! Only really been raiding though, not taking down too many gyms given it's only 50 coins.

[@FuNKyShO]

I believe based on sims, DT/OR will still be the highest dps. But DB/OR will be a close 2nd and possibly better for dodging. DT has higher DPS and EPS than DB.

[@bhutos]

DT will have better math flooring too, but hard to beat DB for dodging. I have two now.. super happy with them.

[@LeSean_James]

ive spent 400 coins on failed raid passes already lol...

[@beastioro4447]

Wouldn't gyarados do more dps with dragon tail hydro pump on arcanine it has more attack and dragon tail is more powerful then water gun is a level 35 vaporeon good enough to help in a arcanine raid? I can't solo level 3 raids yet and I'm level 34 :/ meh don't have the stardust or candy to power up and I'm rural so tms are rare for me to get a hold of

[@YilongJia]

@FuNKyShO did you manage to solo Confusion/Focus Blast Alakazam later?

[@robinbisram84]

Can 2 lugias (2255) and(2150)with both wonder ivs in atk and hp with futere sight and extransorry, alakazam with wonder in hp 1780 cp, espeon with above avrage ivs 1890 cp and some other good iv pokes take out a machamp?

[@lucasgrrrr]

i miss this videos

[@돌땡이-d6c]

You're gifted. Your fan from South Korea!

[@etaymarkman]

can you do tier 4? just lost to a blastoise

[@AndrewNicosia99]

I'm reasonably certain that Tier 4 Pokemon are literally impossible to solo.

[@FuNKyShO]

Yeah, impossible to solo for tier 4. But I might try to see how far I can go against them hahah.

[@ireinfdo7866]

What level are you on

[@claudevalentine8657]

Level 3's only seem solo-able if you're around lvl 40 with tons of good IV/CP Pokemon with all super effective move-sets.

[@forestpreston6009]

Dante level 35 here, I did machamp raid solo today.

[@greenheron1567]

Dante I'm level 36, did a Machamp raid solo a few days ago.

[@twinsenjo8345]

i'm 34 and did machamp, gengar and arcanine solo. And thats the only 3 i've tried so far. Arcanine took 3 tries though, he had wild charge so I used mainly rock/ground pokemon and time ran out 2 times when he was at 1-5% health :D But you are right that you mostly need super effective movesets and decent ammount of cp pokemons with good dps.

[@PokeCuno]

Awesome. Well played, inspired to solo level 3 now. Thanks

[@rocthytube4588]

great vid plez upload more solo raids!!!

[@rocthytube4588]

and beautiful edit

[@iiikiwi4746]

I'm level 22 and my best pokemon has wp 2088 and I made an tier 3 raid with Elektek on my own, but when I tried it again with a friend, we did not make it

[@katikati9248]

I won today Alakazam raid playing with 1 more person. First there were a couple of failed attempts, but then because of a glitch the system replaced Gyarados and Houndoom with 2 Snorlaxes (both over 2700 CP) the battle was finally won! Had there been more time for me, I would not have picked Snorlaxes (lick/heavy slam). But it helped this time, so maybe I'll go for Snorlaes again.

[@leonardoisaiaszerda4436]

noob

[@michailmilis3274]

Is houndoom good for gengar and alakazam or not worth the power ups?

[@TheVergile]

it can be quite good and may even be worth bringing to the mewto raids later on.Tho it may not pack enough punch to solo Alakazam

[@vantolstark7254]

I also tried to take gengar solo, but raid was so fucking laggy and three of my Alakazams got one shooted by his shadow ball. Lack of warning before his charge move didn't help either.

[@FuNKyShO]

Yeah, if I do more consecutive retries, it will start to "rubber band" lag, making it much harder. So what I normally do is, after an attempt, if I wanna retry, gotta close the app, off the phone screen for abt a min, then restart the app again. Not sure if this current version has memory leaks etc, coz it will "rubber band" lag quite severely upon multiple attempts.... Also for raid bosses, they remove the yellow flash dodge warning. I guess they are trying to make it more difficult since they are raid bosses :/ Nevertheless, now gotta watch the attack animation and swap dodge a few times ( normally do 2 or 3 swipes now ) upon an incoming special. I like this new challenge though ;)

[@RaizoRX]

I definitely have experienced this exact thing. Closing the app and rejoining works fine for raids/gym battles.

[@Xavipie91]

I defeated a 14000 cp exegutor with 60 sec left and failed to defeat a 12000 cp weazing ...

[@mithunkumar.s2965]

Good detailing

[@BulkersRuleZ]

Incredible to see a raid fight without lag... I get 3 network errors and hp loops every fight. If lucky I can solo 2lvl raid at level 34 :(

[@greenheron1567]

BulkersRuleZ restart the game before each raid. It helps with the glitches significantly.

[@kevedo93]

but did u catch tho?

[@liltonyabc]

The catch is super easy

[@holdenellis1395]

Congrats on reaching level 38

[@FuNKyShO]

Thanks! The recent Ice and fire event with double catch XP helps alot hahah.

[@Volton007]

Awesome vid! Maybe try using Gengar/Houndoom/Scizor against Alakazam.

[@Fwibl]

Song?

[@0rcinus_orca22]

Look in the desc be4 asking

[@Fwibl]

DarkStar Koivula didn't see it, thanks

[@kvyasolanki5917]

Which place

[@FuNKyShO]

All these raids were done in Singapore :)

[@porkchop_]

Nice work, I had read that solo level 3 raids are impossible ! Shame for no TMs :(

[@holdenellis1395]

Why doesn't this have 1k likes? It's 1 away.

[@candyskiies1128]

You probably failed the alakazam because ypu used dragonite and tyranitar. Ttar is weak to fighting type moves like focus blast and dragonite is neutral damage. Youd do better using houndoom or arcanine with bite and crunch or umbreon.

[@ayunkayunkayunk]

how to evolve eevee into espeon you have 2 espeon

[@ayunkayunkayunk]

ok thanks

[@kennyyo2705]

LMAO I soloed a Croconaw (4500 CP) with my Pokemon under 950 CP, no Ground or Electric types, and I was soo happy I won and got Croconaw, I almost freaked out. And yet this guy does it 4 times with bosses over 10000 CP.

[@westley82]

Valor at its finest.

[@D0024-p5c]

Great music!

[@BigBrotherMateyka]

Seems Gengar is the easiest to take down? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@tyronedsouza]

BigBrotherMateyka yep.

[@Mezzosd]

I can't do same thing, why don't have the best pokemons

[@jackflannery6390]

I loved this

[@chocobombs]

I was so dumb that I tried to solo a alakazam with weak pokes, got it to yellow :/

[@tiago3387]

I think that machamp cp was high 90

[@crazymewtwo2]

Bro, that was a mega team

[@devson--]

Alakazam or Arcanine should be 4 tier and pikachu should be 3 tier (just swamping their places)

[@withawintvil]

I crush them all, but Alakazam and Arcanite are not easy.

[@ggaboveaveragegamer]

Complete savage

[@romenick4929]

Nice .

[@Jamiepokemongoboss11Cool]

Doh from Homer Simpson from simpsons lol

[@tiago3387]

Ops iv

[@littlemonkey6260]

PLS NOT THE SONG ITS IN MY HEAD

[@thebeargaming1367]

I subscribe

[@OGLordSlypher]

in order to solo T3 raids you kinda have to be Lv40 otherwise your'll just get pawned.

[@Feuerwerker361]

Music sux so hard

[@eduardoviveros4180]

[@chybaegredz9682]
