Pokemon Scarlet - 7 Star Hisuian Typhlosion Raid

1 year ago

Blue wasn't available and I didn't feel like training anyone new, so we are using our old reliable Umbreon (might become a channel mascot at this point...) to piggyback off some randoms.

I swapped out Screech for Fake Tears as I heard of a Vaporeon strategy and figured I could better synergize with that than trying to come up with something for burn treatment. I want to drop special defense when the opportunity presents itself, otherwise I can spam Snarl to lower special attack. This gets to the point where even Focus Blast bounces off of me and my teammates can shrug off anything it has to throw. I wasn't sure how viable Umbreon would be, and it seems it just can't disappoint.

As for alternate strategies, I was wondering about Hatterene and I explain here that you are extremely vulnerable to taking 4x damage from Infernal Parade, so making her work is a lot more effort than it is worth. I would need to see who all can learn Acid Spray to see if there is a good poison type, but at this point the raid has expired, and unless they get cycled again (which I am cool with), it may not be too helpful to continue searching.

Anyway, this was the last bit of Switch online I had, so we will need to see what comes next as to whether I need to hurry and buy a new card or wait for any deals.
