A few dodges maybe necessary (if Ray can survive a DP) and staggered entry maybe needed to meet the duoI'd advise duo partners to go in with multiple different 6x teams, one going in just 5 as gengar and the Dragons die at a very similar rate to the hard hitting DT/DP combo, so you can stagger secondary/tertiary team relobbies without the raid boss recovering their health------VS T6 Mewtwo w/ Confusion + Shadow Ball* (In Theory)PokemonTDO %DPSDeathsRelobbiesDuo/Trio/QuadMewtwo (PC+SB)34.7422.1212.692TrioGengar (Lick+SB)32.0620.3923.723-4QuadGengar (Hex+SB)27.8217.7523.523-4QuadGiratina-O (SC+SB)36.7623.4112.752TrioTyranitar (Bite+Crunch)36.3623.146.821TrioWeavile (FA+FP)36.6923.379.351TrioHonchkrow (Snarl+DP)34.2421.7912.051-2TrioA Gengar mono team technically has the highest per lobby DPS, but has to relobby so often that it loses out on average DPS severelySince a duo is impossible without WB, going TTar for a mono team would be the most revive economical choice in this context---VS T6 Mewtwo w/ Psycho Cut + Focus BlastPokemonTDO %DPSDeathsRelobbiesDuo/Trio/QuadMewtwo (PC+SB)37.5623.915.990-1TrioGengar (Lick+SB)43.5527.748.171TrioGengar (Hex+SB)41.2126.248.131TrioGiratina-O (SC+SB)41.8926.6840TrioTyranitar (Bite+Crunch)30.7919.6114.022QuadWeavile (FA+FP)30.4519.3913.332QuadHonchkrow (Snarl+DP)30.5419.4513.852QuadFlipping the tables around with a move that Mewtwo has in its present repertoire, Gengar gets a chance to shine with it having 3x resistance to Fighting, allowing it to facetank a Focus BlastThe Dark types here lag behind, TTar and Weavile mono teams get absolutely mauled by Focus Blast and Honchkrows' fragility and neutrality to Focus Blast not doing it any favours------The Lake Trio---VS Mesprit w/ Confusion + FuturesightPokemonTDO %DPSDeathsRelobbiesDuo/Trio/QuadMewtwo (PC+SB)40.4420.66.040-1TrioGengar (Lick+SB)42.6221.716.92TrioGengar (Hex+SB)36.9318.816.882TrioGiratina-O (SC+SB)43.8322.337.081TrioTyranitar (Bite+Crunch)41.8321.323.20TrioWeavile (FA+FP)43.8322.325.190TrioHonchkrow (Snarl+DP)39.7820.266.51TrioMesprit is annoying - it doesn't hit softly, but it doesn't really hit hard enough, and it's middling DEF value is just enough to allow it to float above the duo-bility lineGengar has the highest per lobby DPS, as usual, but with nearly 3 relobbies, it drastically loses average DPS, making way to both Weavile and Giratina-O as average DPS kingsTo save on potions tho, and since they all can only trio Mesprit anyway, just go Tyranitar for a mono team---VS Azelf w/ Confusion + FuturesightPokemonTDO %DPSDeathsRelobbiesDuo/Trio/QuadMewtwo (PC+SB)53.7427.387.961DuoGengar (Lick+SB)50.9425.9619.483DuoGengar (Hex+SB)45.4723.1620.013TrioGiratina-O (SC+SB)59.1530.148.871DuoTyranitar (Bite+Crunch)57.5329.314.890DuoWeavile (FA+FP)55.0728.066.861DuoHonchkrow (Snarl+DP)53.2127.117.871DuoGengar gets completely wrecked here. While a Gengar mono team has the highest per lobby DPS, requiring 3x relobbies which reduces it's overall DPS drastically, allowing others to catch upUnless one is going for a time attack record (which will require 2 players having 40 Gengars total), a Tyranitar mono team would once again be the most resource economical choice------VS Uxie w/ Confusion + FuturesightPokemonTDO %DPSDeathsRelobbiesDuo/Trio/QuadMewtwo (PC+SB)34.717.684.960TrioGengar (Lick+SB)35.2117.9414.22TrioGengar (Hex+SB)31.5516.0713.892QuadGiratina-O (SC+SB)36.7418.695.860TrioTyranitar (Bite+Crunch)32.516.562.590QuadWeavile (FA+FP)34.5717.6140TrioHonchkrow (Snarl+DP)33.3116.974.850QuadUxie doesn't hit hard, but is tanky (think Lugia and the Regis), so tanky that in fact, even though a Tyranitar mono team won't have to relobby, it won't meet the trio requirements eitherSince Uxie pretty much hits like a wet noodle, going in with a staggered gengar mono team and then following up with a mixed Mewtwo/Tyranitar should work well to allow a team of 3 trainers capable of similar damage output to meet the trio requirements------Just some random thoughts that I wanted to get out after learning that Giratina-O had its moveset shaken upHope this can help folks decide what they want to power up :) via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2JHN6ad
