7-Star Raids - Strategies, Speculation & Discussion Thread

you could catch it once per save
Well that is old now. The easiest way for me is random luck in Gen 8 Dynamax Adventures. It's just too bad almost 40% of the rentals and wiild ones are just bad or bad moves. I just hope i don't encounter Martin's Solrock anytime soon.

Funnily enough Martin's Solrock clutched some raids for me by actually destroying the last shield barrier or actually defeating a raid altogether due to lowered stats and it using psychic or rock blast effectively.

What that thing fails 90% of the the time it's turns because of boss de-buff's and puts me at risk of losing important lives.

All this waiting and it was a 5* raid? What a disappointment.
I mean, of course I'm glad they didn't do another Mewtwo (as in, a raid that is tailored to be impossible to beat on solo to force you to pay for online), but I thought this was going to be a 7* at least as challenging as some of the starters were.

With it being lvl.75, you don't even need a strategy. Just use whatever on lvl. 100 that is super effective and you will win.
My Azumarill didn't even need Belly Drum to solo it, just spamming Play Rough every round was enough and my HP never fell beneath 80%.

Ya Mewtwo where you needed pretty much just 4 mews is not a great method.

That's the only raid I simply could not be bothered with.

Yes you needed perfect bug tera type and scour paldea for ingredients for the moves and follow exact guides. You weren't even supposed to be able to catch that version Mewtwo if i remember it right.....which is just insulting.

It is indeed a good thing this Rayquaza event is not a 7 star or a mightiest mark moveset. It a level 100 maximum star would just turn into a absolute killer pokemon with all sorts of special boosts.
Yep making Rayquaza Mewtwo difficult would have gone against the whole point of this raid. Bringing as many people back to the game as they can. Which for the most part, is casuals who haven't touched the game since DLC 2 was released.
Mewtwo required you to optimize your Mew with a specific build and everyone couldn't just bring attacking Mew. And if you tried to go against the script, your Mew would die and you were considered dead weight.

Rayquaza being much more accessible is the better call imo.
