"Moltres solo guide for rural hardcores"

#PokemonGO: What you need:6 Smack Down / Stone Edge Tyranitar (Smack Down is legacy, don't waste fast TMs!), possibly past their second-last breakpoint (level 35.5 for 15 Attack).A very rural gym that no Pokémon Go player sees when the Moltres event starts.Partly Cloudy weather.A few Max Revives (and fast relobbying) or good dodging skills.A level 35 SD/SE Tyranitar has 260 seconds Time To Win for the hardest moveset: https://ift.tt/2Cgk3GN, with more than 6 deaths, you will need to rejoin, which will probably cost you ~15 seconds + some health regain by Moltres, quantifiable in ~25 seconds, so it will be very close.Alternatively: if you dodge most charge moves, you'll have less than 6 deaths and therefore won't need to rejoin.(Keep in mind that the dodge glitch doesn't affect solo raids anymore.)The hard part will be to find a glitched gym: for that, you'll need to wait for at least half an hour into the event (e.g. after 11:30 in Central Europe), then start going around to scout "undiscovered" gyms. If you are the first player visualizing a gym on the in-game map, you'll trigger a delayed 3-hour timer (if Niantic doesn't fix it by Moltres Day).Come back to that gym when the event is over (e.g. at 14:00 in Central Europe) and you'll still have >30 minutes on the raid timer.If you get this delayed timer, then you'll have a 7500HP Moltres (like a Tier 4) with 300 seconds to complete (like a Tier 5).That needs only 5% more Rock-type DPS than former Flareon Tier 3:FlareonGlitched MoltresDefense219199CPM0.730.79Type Effectiveness1.41.96Effective Defense114.280.2---------------------------------------------------------------HP30007500Time180s300sHP/s16.6725---------------------------------------------------------------Normalized DPS needed100.0105.3Keep in mind that a Tier 4 Moltres hits 10% harder than a Tier 3 Flareon, and in particular it hits hard for 67% more time, but if someone can solo Flareon with 3 Pokémon, a glitched Moltres can definitely be soloed with 6.EDIT: I got the breakpoint wrong. The significant breakpoint is at level 35 (there is another one at 39.5 but you may not have the Larvitar candy for that). via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2Q4EUQb
