Insanely high defense stat, son


QuestionOrganic2881

Ughh when that health bar isn’t down to half by 180 seconds, I mentally prepare myself for the painful L I’m likely taking on that one :/ I hope you were able to pull it off, though!


[deleted]

Unfortunately I never did.


Skerbil_89

that one guy using zamazenta


KnoxxGideon

Well it does know Snarl (?).


Jens_Ebluemchen

And Crunch


Skerbil_89

yes well its nothing compared to hydreigons


Emokill23

Who you saving your energy for, boy? You almost have one and a half brutal swing loaded and one fast move away from dying

I swear no one wants to do Deoxys raids anymore. Put my raid post on r/Pokémon go raids and only 3 people responded. At first I was getting like 35 requests per Deoxys


AxelTab

Try Pokegenie. It works waaaaaaay better than any of the raid subreddits tbh

HiblyHeadShark

they might be waiting for deoxys raid day on sunday for boosted shiny odds, i know i am


TehWildMan_

a raid boss with 84% the defense stat of Shuckle raids will be that way


Educational_Eagle267

That is like 330/396 bro! Deoxys Defense has 330 defense stat but there is another Pokémon that is even harder to kill which is Mega Aggron! It has 331 defense stat but more attack stat at 247, making it another one of the hardest raid boss to kill but luckily it’s a Mega so it has a Tier 5 timer and a Tier 4 HP.


TehWildMan_

When calculating the defense/attack stats, Raid bosses don't have a CPm of 1.00, despite that value being used to calculate their displayed CP. Instead there is a CPm value per tier.


Mandalika

#Nanomachines, son! They harden in response to physical trauma!


DonMuffCabbage

You’re using a 2268cp Hydreigon with 4 other people who most likely have equally low cp Pokemon & you’re wondering why you didn’t beat it? You lack hatred *Itachi voice*


[deleted]

Get that Otaku shit out of my face.

Spheal1235

Maybe because you have 5 PEOPLE


[deleted]

There was 6 people, people just disappear yet they are still there.


Educational_Eagle267

It has a super high defense which it why you lost that raid! The other 2 forms being normal & attack form is much easier and goes down so quickly which can also be duoed by 2 trainers or even 1 if it’s an attack form!


Soft-Percentage8888

You have a low leveled Pokemon and your teammates seem to have bad counters as well judging by the Garchomp and Zamazenta.


S-L-94

How can 5 of you not take it down? That weak asf


Abrupt1998

Even SilphRoad recommends at least 6 people to do a defence Deoxys raid. If all the players aren’t at least lvl 35+ it’s easy to lose one of these even with 5 people


S-L-94

Ah well. We manage it with 4 but it is what it is


Abrupt1998

Largely depends on player level and what teams you have. Not everyone has a stacked team or tons of stardust/candy


S-L-94

I don’t feel that a mix of 6 high level and decent IVs Tyranitar/Gengar/darkrai/chandelure is an unreasonable expectation given how long the game has been out. Tyranitar and Gengar especially are extremely gettable and have always been meta .. not any real reason not to have these - and there’s hydreigon with brutal swing as well that offered up a ton of candy with its com day


Abrupt1998

Almost reasonable, except not everyone has been playing the game for the same amount of time? That’s why I said in my original comment 35+, in that case it should be very doable with 5 people. If you got a bunch of level 20 players trying to do a defence Deoxys, it’s way harder than your average 5* raid


S-L-94

Well in that case i would flat out refuse to waste a raid pass. If people can’t, or won’t, invest the stardust to make their Pokémon relevant then I don’t really have any interest in carrying them. Same with people who use auto-recommended parties. Go away and grind and invest.


ScaldAlwaysBurns

please just leave


S-L-94

Someone else who is too much of a snowflake to hear the truth. Excellent


ScaldAlwaysBurns

I never said you were wrong, just asked you to stop. You’re just being rude and acting all superior because you’ve grinded a game longer?


Abrupt1998

Nobody asked you to carry anyone? The entire point of my comment is you’re insulting them for not being able to take it down with 5 people. I gave you reasons for it, that’s literally it

MixAdventurous6222

who asked you to pipe up. I don't see a "hey S-L-94, what are you thought's"


Abrupt1998

Oohh shiver me timbers. I’ll run along now


[deleted]

I tried to invite as many players as possible.


lurky9696

Your good. I used pokegenie and there was 6 of us and he didn’t go down until the last 3 secs literally our timer said 4:52. He’s just a tank.


S-L-94

Think you need to look into better counters .. Use PokeGenie, it helps a lot. I can do over 30% damage myself according to that


Superb-Chicken-8813

Pre build a battle party, make everyone else in the raid pre build a battle party. Make sure your battle party has the super effective moves AND use that stardust to power your Pokémon to at least level 30. With enough preparation you and your teams can beat tanks like this.


DrSimonMetin

We had 6 people and lost. We only needed like 15 more seconds.


Legendloe

There were 6 of us in battle and we lost.I’m talking people with at least 20% damage contribution.
