LF: Greninja Raid

Amore said:
Well I haven't been able to do anything for over a minute…and now I've been Ko'd. Select the Heal Up cheer yet had about 5 turns of Poison damage to wipe me out instead.

Maybe Slowbro is probably the best option. I forgot that in Raids they have the ability to completely nullify your ability. Gastrodon has Storm Drain, so that's the main reason I picked it. Without Storm Drain, I'm pretty much a sitting duck. That's one thing I never liked about Raids. It was worth a shot, I guess.

Alright so we didn't do too bad for the first attempt. But obviously the hardest part about this raid is the timer runs out. When you guys fainted it took a lot of time away. Use recover as soon as your health gets to half empty to keep it up.

Also, let's change gastrodons terra type to ground so the gunk shot is resisted!

I only have Ice and Normal, sorry :(

Like I said, didn't have the ability to move for about half of that match for some reason. Might be my wi-fi, going to change routers be on again in a moment
 
Damn. Night Slash, Gunk Shot, then Gunk Shot again killed me. Should I have Recovered after Night Slash only did like 10%

Also, I somehow spawned recovered with low HP...
 
Amore we were doing good and then your two faints took too much time away. I think we can get it. It also helps if we get a good CPU partner. I'm gonna try switch leftovers out for Metronome to hit harder

Ok cool. Yeah, like I said in my post not sure exactly what I should have done as the Speed means I can't recover if it Gunk Shots twice. Grabbing more candy from a raid to get closer to 100 quickly

If it's possible we can do it again, I'm ready. I have Slowbro this time with the Stored Power, Nasty Plot, Iron Defense, and Slack Off moveset. Gastrodon would have been a good option, but it negated my Ability, so it was hitting me with Hydro Pumps and ruining my strategy. Maybe we can do better with Slowbro helping out.
 
Ugh, I think me not being lv. 100 is going to stop us winning this thing. Do you guys have any 4-stars I can jump into to get more candy? I've done all my raids for the day and can't find a Chansey anywhere

I'll be good in approximately 2 minutes to try again

Maybe my EV spread is wrong or something? I have 252 HP, 252 Special Attack, and 6 Defense. I used Iron Defense at least twice the first time and then Nasty Plot, and Stored Power. I was being damaged by Night Slash a lot and I didn't have the Speed to use Slack Off before getting knocked out. Maybe I'm just not battling right? I don't know. I always hated Raids anyway. They're too broken for me.

Well it gets wiped out after 3 turns / a set amount of hp loss, right? So I guess if us two and the AI move too fast you won't get it, but needs to be 2 Iron Defense to make sure you're not on the brink, then a Stored Power THEN it wipes the boosts and you have to try again.

Amore if you want me to send you links to other raids for candies I can help you out

Yes please! I have an Ice-tera Lucario but then I'm down to Lv. 50s after Gastro, so nothing too strong. I just need at least 3-star to get Med XP Candy

Serenity- check out this video on how to use the Slowbro correctly. Don't worry about using stored power at all until all your stats are buffed with nasty plot and iron defense. Then use stored power to do massive damage.

The thing is though I had my stat boosts nullified. That means I have to start boosting again, and doing that would eventually knock me out again. That's what happened last time.
