The "Welcome to the War Room" should be part of your intro for Mightiest Mark videos moving forward. 😂💪🏻☝🏻
Agreed!
I am for this
Yes!
Also playing „Fortunate Son“ in the background
Please keep this for raids going forward
Gallade
Ability: Steadfast/Sharpness
Tera: Fighting
Item: Shell Bell
Evs: 252 Attack, 252 Special Defense, 4 HP
Moves: Sacred Sword, Swords Dance, Skill Swap (TM) & Sunny Day (TM)
Make sure to not have any Intimidates on your team. You may die once, which is fine. Apply Swords Dance when needed. Sacred Sword hits for max damage through the Iron Defense.
Turn 1: Skill Swap
Turn 2: Sunny Day
Turn 3: Swords Dance
Turn 4: Sacred Sword
Out of curiosity. How fast did you beat Empoleon with this build?
Wouldn’t sharpness be better?
@@7swordquanta459 I had about a quarter of my bar left when I finished. Out of the 3 times I've solo'd the raid I never hit the "building up energy" mark.
@@voodookvngg1112Doesn't matter because you're skill swapping on Turn 1 to get competitive. Tera raid mons are immune to flinching so Steadfast wouldn't matter here either.
Thanks for the build!
War room 🐐
Quick note on resetting npc teams: if you are offline and select the group option it gives you different npcs. Catch: it won’t let you run away in the group session. Either take the ko or restart. Next time you solo it should be the same team. Did this for mewtwo raids.
You don't have to actually go into the battle. While offline, choose the group option, then cancel. Then you can go back to the solo option and you should have different NPCs.
How do I NOT reset team members? No matter what I do, I get a different team every attempt, and I would like to keep the rare teams that are actually good and only failed due to a crit.
Thanks for doing these videos again, really helpful
I hadn't done a Raid since you stopped doing these. I'm glad they're back.
Love the haircut! Thanks for the help as always, Austin John!
this morning it was looking RUFF lol
Ceruledge
Ability: doesn't matter
Item: Shell Bell
Adamant Nature
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk/Sp Def 252/ HP4
Move set: Bitter blade, Swords Dance, Sunny day, and Clear Smog.
Make sure there are no intimidates on team.
Turn 1 Sunny Day
Turn 2 Bitter blade
Turn 3 Swords Dance
Turn 4 Swords dance if empoleon is Paralyzed. If not bitter blade
I ended terastalizing turn 5/6 for the extra boost often alternating between swords dance and bitter blade. Make sure to keep the sunny day up. Then when the iron defense comea down use Clear smog to eliminate it.
Great video once again Austin! Love these "war room" vids! Got lucky on my first try with the Skeledirge build and had a Gardevoir ally that kept using Life Dew to help heal, so things went pretty smoothly!
Thanks John, keep these 7star vids coming, love the info.
I want to thank you for all of your work and effort that goes into your videos. All of the ones I've watched have been immensely helpful and I often come back to your videos whenever I need a reminder about a specific mechanic in games or for example the video containing the trade codes between Pokemon.
I almost never leave a RUclips comment because I'm just awkward and get anxiety even just typing.
I do not have the DLC yet so the Raids are the only way for me to get those Pokemon currently. Even though it's possible to trade with someone who has the DLC, I wouldn't have anything to offer that they don't have yet and I feel like a burden asking someone I don't know for something for free.
So if it is possible I would like to ask for you to continue making videos for the raids in the future, but if for any reason you want to stop, then I completely understand.
Sorry for the long message, and I want to apologise for copying this from under your Patch Notes video as well, I just want to give myself a bigger chance to be heard.
If you have a team of four players, we figured out a good strategy based on Skeledurge.
Skeledurge as suggested
Belibolt with Static ability, Mud-slap, Charge and Thunderwave moves. (To focus on keeping paralyzed and lowers accuracy only after the ability swap.)
Tinkaton with Own Tempo, light screen, reflect, skill swap and flash cannon (first move is the skill swap, makes it much easier)
Koraidon with drain punch and Sunny Day holding a heat rock (to focus on the Sun) tera type fighting.
We focused on HP, Sp Def and Atk
Got it first try, and nobody even fainted. Thanks as always for the great strategy tips!
Glad to see you made a video on this. Thank you!
If anyone wants to use a Poliwrath I used for this raid, have at you!
Moves: Belly Drum, Drain Punch, Tera Blast (steel), and Amnesia with the item shell bell and the ability water absorb
Stats: Adamant nature with 252 attack, 252 special defense and 4 speed.
Guarantees survival after a belly drum with the 252 special defense when grass knot is used. Or start with Amnesia and then belly drum when you tera into the steel type
Plus it resists three moves and gains immunity to water.
Edited: This can work for solos, but this is more of a team based co-op build
I'm eyeing this build, gives me an excuse to train up a shiny Poliwrath I found like a month ago in a random raid.
Honestly a good idea. Also!! Poliwrath gets Amnesia as well, and could run Body Slam to try to fish for Paralysis, even Haze to engage any buffs it does.
@@kosakukawajiri5007 noice! There's two ways you can play with the build. Belly drum off the bat OR drain punch until you get to tera steel, then belly drum when doing that
@@KyleThePug Would you believe me if I said I did it 4th try while solo? You are a freaking genius. My first 3 fails were from 1: intimidate bots or spdf droppers and 2: me forgetting to use a Shell Bell.
The set I used was an Adamant Water Absorb Poliwrath packing Steel Tera Blast, Drain Punch, Belly Drum, and of all things, Amnesia!
It was a bit tense near the end cuz Empoleon had his defenses boosted up, but down to the last seconds my Poliwrath crushed the penguin. Now, to honor you, Ill name this thing Puguin.
How do you use Poliwrath, I can’t use belly drum at the start without fainting from Grass Knot afterwards?
@@excaliburn3d I updated my original comment. Look at it when you can!
Thank you so much for this! I accidentally missed the last one because I was waiting for your video and it never came so I completely forgot! 😅 I really enjoy the War Room videos and they help immensely, would love it if you would keep doing them 🩵
Just a note to anyone with Bellibolt, there is a chance it uses Mud-shot. Mud-shot lowers Spd so it does activate Competitive. It took a bit for me to realize that
Been waiting for this! ❤
0:58 well I'll be damned 😮
Thank you for doing a video on this Autin. Like others has said it is really helpful
I like how you give options that you provide:traded starters, stactic encounters, etc, instead of things like arceus where you need 2 more games, and mew where you needed the previous event.
Yeah! We talked him into it!
Thanks for the raid info boss! Appreciate the short and concise video. Love the War Room name lol
Yay I'm so glad you are continuing these!
So basically use annialape. Got it.
Edit: also to reset your team offline just try and make a team and leave it. It resets your team much faster than changing the date.
Annihilape with what moveset?
Use iron hands it’s easier
@@ryanarndt2631 electric or fighting Tera type?
@@madarauchiha3405You seriously asking that? Fighting of course, ffs.
So basically DON’T use Annihilape.
I used Heatran and it worked pretty well.
Heatran Calm Nature
Holding Metronome
252 HP 252 SpDef 4 SpAtk
Fire Tera Type
-Flamethrower
-Sunny Day
I also had Metal Sound and Earth Power on there but don’t use those. Turn one set up the sun, then just spam flamethrower until you can Terastralize. I did it online with randoms. Had a Ho-Oh, Vaporeon and Iron Hands so those helped for sure, but my Heatran only fainted once so it has staying power.
thank you smmm for so diligently getting these videos out
Thank you for making this vid, Austin!
Thanks for doing this!!! Really really appreciate you!!!
Amazing guide, worked on my first try, with multiplayer (thanks for the Mew and Ogerpon, you guys were amazing)
Yes! thankyou for doing these! :D
awesome strat, did for both games. ty austin!! had a gardevoir npc on my scarlet constantly healing which saved me from having to use slack off like i did on violet
So glad you're doing these again.
i may have found the easiest solo build/strat foir this. fighting-tera annihilape with metronome. focus energy, then spam drain punch, tera when possible
Thank you for bringing these back! You make the best poke videos
Was just about to attempt this. Perfect timing
Gholdengo + 3 Perrserkers Strat - 4 PPL REQUIRED this is a 1-Hit KO strat if it works properly. 2 Fake Tears (It's Instant KO so Competitive doesn't matter) and Atk Cheer required before using Steel Beam/Make it Rain
Was disappointed when you skipped the last one but glad its back
@austin great content, have you got link to that damage cal you showed where you input the moves?
Thanks for this! Glad you covered it. Not just because I suck..
Hey John been a fan for a long thank you for always bringing good content !!!
I found this set really effective:
Gallade @ Shell Bell (Tera Fighting)
-Skill Swap
-Mystical Fire
-Swords Dance
-Sacred Sword
252 Atk (plus helpful nature), 252 Sp Def
4 HP
Strat: Skill Swap turn one. Then spam Mystical Fire, lowering Empoleon's Sp Atk and charging Tera until you get KO'ed. Then Tera, SD, and spam Sacred Sword. Could use Drain Punch, but Sacred Sword bypasses Iron Defense, and Empoleon won't deal enough damage to really hurt you.
works perfectly
Thank you john❤
This pokemon raid is hard carried by that Competitive ability. I just completed with a skill swap Gallade but even still you need a light screen setter.
I used Slowking with leftovers, STELLAR Tera Type, calm nature.
Ability: Oblivious/Own Tempo
Flamethrower
Skill Swap
Light Screen
Amnesia
Could also swap out one of these moves for Sunny Day
Thank you for these, I'm collecting the mightiest marks so these help a lot
Thanks for the tip on changing the NPCs! That really helped me beat and catch the Mighty Empoleon!
very cool, thanks for the video!
What was that site you used at 1:10 for the type matchups?
Much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What a beautiful set up oh my goodness ive never seen something like that well done
if you are playing with others where everyone is an attacker. one person can use galarian slowbro as the support it tanks empoleons ice beam really well and no grass knot weakness. I ran it with sunny day, light screen, thunder wave and helping hand. you can also do heal pulse. with full hp and sp def evs set and leftovers. the idea is that while everyone else is attacking your taking out his snow, weakening his attacks and paralyzing him and depending on which set you go with you can use heal pulse to heal teammates or helping hand to increase damage. galarian slowbro is surprisingly versatile as a support almost as much as umbreon.
Why wouldn't you just use Galarian Slowking? Can learn all the same moves but has higher base special defense.
Thank you for your video.
Thanks for the video! I followed the playbook and got my Empoleon
Strongly recommend Grumpig for this one.
Grumpig
Ability: Thick Fat
Tera: Steel
Item: Shell Bell
Evs: 52 Special Attack, 204 Special Defense, 252 HP
Moves: Flash Cannon, Simple Beam, Nasty Plot, Amnesia.
Just make sure you use Simple Beam turn 1 to avoid Competitive from stacking boosts (Flash Cannon special defense drops can be problematic otherwise)
Thanks for the build ! Gonna try it with my grumpig
I found success with skill swap weak armor sinistea. Beat it first try with randoms using 2 iron hands and a zamazenta. Use skill swap turn 1, defense cheer turn 2, and heal cheer when your teammates get low if they aren't using drain punch or after they belly drum. You can also strength sap an iron hands to get back to up full hp without it affecting the raid at all.
I also have a cloyster for multi hits in case someone in the lobby is using a sinistea, but something that can set screens like blissey would work well too to keep everyone alive
how do you turn one skill swap when it dies before it can move? unless you meant polteageist
@@dalepeters3841 Yeah, I meant polteageist. I went out of my way to look at my polteageist because I forgot the name, and then put sinistea in anyway lol
I Used a stellar type walking wake holding charcoal with the photosynthesis ability.
Moves where sunny day and flamethrower that I used in battle, the other 2 are up to you.
Do note that I was playing online with random other people which worked out fine with a skeledirge, iron hands, and gallade in the group joining me.
Thank you for bringing back The War Room!
I found my Iron Hands I use for a lot of raids worked, but I had to switch Belly Drum for Swords Dance and run from battle until I didn't get any partner pokemon that lower stats (running resets the partner pokemon). Basically just use Swords Dance at the start of the battle and whenever he resets your stats, and otherwise use Drain Punch.
Great Video!
Thanks for the guide!
This looks like it's a difficult one...
I missed this videos
Hey Austin thanks for doing this again, got the same team as you but my Belibolt just kept spamming Mudshot which kept triggering Competitive so I lost super quick.
My man, I LOVE these. It does feel like a war room haha
Hitmonchan
Basically just drain punch and swords dance
Ability drain punch
Adamant nature
I don’t really remember the EV’s but basically up attack to the max, and the rest in speed def and spe.def
Terra fighting
Punching gloves for held item
Did it on my own basically setting up a sword dance then drain punch to recover health then just sword dance again. Able to do it with ease.
what stat spread should i use for the skeledirge? i maxed out my satk and sdef but should i try putting evs in hp instead?
Thanks for the napoleon strat!
Having the Umbreon and the Gardevoir Npcs also helps if you do the raid with Iron Hands since Umbreon uses Thunder wave and Gardevoir uses Life dew. 😁
Might try this haven't done one of these raids in a while
some how 2 Dialga's a bellybolt and a chansey on an online match worked very well with chansey being mostly the healer like a rpg.
I honestly love these vids! It's so fun to come to the War Room and get a The Briefing from Commander Austin John, featuring intel provided Special Agent Anubis :D
Used a skeledirge too. Calm nature, hyper trained, got it via home so unaware ability but no slack off. I did have protect on it but the only two moves I needed to use were sunny day and torch song, with shell bell equipped for healing. Thankfully didn't have an intimidate mon in the group.
Did get frozen by the very first blizzard. I thought welp this attempt is a failure, but used the heal up cheer and kept at it.
Did end up getting knocked out once but had not much of a difficulty in beating it on the first try.
Blaze might have been a better ability for the skeledirge actually since the empoleon doesn't really boosts itself in any meaningful way and the boost to fire moves would have been really helpful
Kudos to that war room comment, that was also my favorite one from the patch note vid!
Just did this strat. Took me a few tries because of unlucky crits, but he big Croc got the job done! Amazing video as always!
How did u do it? Empoleon kept spamming surf and I just keep dying even with max hp ev
@@BBoyr4dic4l Like AustinJohnPlays said, Bellibolt made a great partner with Light Screen and Paralysis with Discharge. Like I said, it took a few tries, so it's not impossible. You got this!
thanks man
I’d recommend Ceruledge (^Sp. Def./^Attack), using Sunny Day, Swords Dance and Bitter Blade.
With Sunny Day healing Ceruledge and Bitter Blade doing bonus damage while also being a healing move, I never even dropped below 150 HP while still doing solid damage every other turn.
Love these vids
I did mine with tera fire Volcanion first try. It has water absorb and take 1/4 ice damage before tera. So he basically tickles you with grass knot and icebeam. Just tried it for fun since i had a Volcanion from a SwSh distribution
Held Item: Shell Bell. 252 HP, 252 spA, 4 spD... Moves: Flamethrower, Weather Ball, Sunny Day, Haze
Just keep up sun and spam weather ball or flamethrower. Heal cheer if needed. I did 1 heal cheer for safety in the double attack portion of the fight. Paralysis is nice for this strat too.
Yaaaay! I missed this videos
I've found that supporting a team of gallade with skill swap and iron hands with 1-2 support mews was very successfull. My support Mew has successfully aided in several empoleon raids. Lvl 100 ofc, EVs maxed on HP and SpDef, last few on spd. Item: Light Clay, Skillset: Light Shield, Sunny Day against the water move Surf and the heightened defense with snowscape, life dew to heal (PP maxed) and the 4th move is optional. Hope this helps some of you when you do raids together.
I swear I keep running out of space for these mightiest mark
I feel like we need more than 30 boxes
There hasn't even been enough to fill one box yet.
How so? They barely filled half (if you also count the Mew used against Mewtwo)
Technically in general I run out of space due to breeding but also have 1 main save one and one I use to get duplicates to store on main save
Pretty sure they’ll never expand the in-game storage, they want you to use Home. Which is cheaper than one trip to Starbucks every other month, so I’m ok with that.
@@therealshavenyakToxic mindset here
Metronome Annihilape worked first try for me but I got very good rng with an npc belibolt landing clinch paralysis procs and keeping up light screen.
Here's another option, I used this one and it worked with the correct NPC: (The reason I chose it is because you can find a wild Tera steel Eelektross in the Charge stone cave from the DLC. So you save the Tera shards and it also gets a couple perfect IVs to save some bottle caps as well).
Eelektross
Tera: Steel
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 Sp ATK, 252 HP, 4 Sp DEF
Moves: Gastro Acid, Acid Spray, Giga Drain, Flash Cannon
Item: Shell Bell
First thing you do is use Gastro Acid to cancel Empoleon's ability. Then use Acid spray to reduce its Sp DEF to minimum. Don't Tera until you faint once, once you Tera, hit it with Flash Cannon. When it clears it's stats, repeat Acid Spray and keep going. In order for all this to work you need the Bellibolt NPC, as it tends to set up Light Screen and paralyze.
Giga drain is replaceable, if you get lucky with paralysis stopping Empoleon frequently.
Blissey @ Metronome / Tera Stellar
Skill Swap/Calm Mind/Sunny Day/Flamethrower
252 Spa/208 SpD/48 Speed
PP Up Flamethrower
I pushed the timer to the end by maxing out Calm Mind, but if you only do 4 after the second stat clear and just start attacking, it'll probably go faster.
Lets go!!! The King has returned
I soloed Empoleon in both versions with good ol' faithful Iron Hands :) My build for Hands: Tera Type: Fighting/Held item: Covert Cloak (Because Ice Beam and Blizzard have a good chance of freezing you and you don't really need a recovery held item because you will be healing with Drain Punch)/252 HP-252 SpDef-4 Atk/Nature: Adamant. You don't really need a defense boosting nature as Hands has a decent special defensive bulk and will have more due to EV training in that stat./Moves: Drain Punch, Electric Terrain, Focus Energy, Swords Dance. It is vitally important with this build to set up Focus Energy as the crits will maximize the damage Hands deals in addition to giving you fantastic healing from Drain Punch. Swords Dance periodically while you are above 50% health, it's risky to try and Dance at low HP as Empoleon can potentially score crits. Electric Terrain is a great early game setup to give you an attack boost. Don't try to set up Dances in the early going because the raid boss will just wipe them clean. Good luck and happy hunting, trainers :)
First raid I hopped into use Skill Swap on it. Then we lowered it's stats. Turned out great.
Heck ya the war room continues !!!!
I might have a strategy or two that could work with this.
Reshiram: Special Tank. (can be used as Support).
Hold Item: Weakness Policy. Tera Fire.
Modest Nature.
H.P: 196 EVs
Sp. Attack: 176 EVs
Sp. Defence: 136 EVs
Moves: Light Screen. (Reduces Special Damage use this first).
Sunny Day.
Fusion Flare. (use this until Tera Orb is fully Charged).
Blue Flare. (Use This Move when Tera).
Supporting Pokemon must have Light Screen, Skill Swap, Sunny Day, and Helping hand.
I used Iron Crown, with calm mind, tachyon cutter, tera type steel, and shell bell.
Easy with Annihilape for me, first try one catch, but great option too 👊🏼
My group did 3 annihilape holding shell bellwith the moves screech, drain punch, coaching and rage fist 252 attack 252 hp 6 defense with the support of one person with cresselia with 252 special defense, 252 defense and 6 hp holding a light clay with moves light screen, skill swap, lunar blessing (pp at 8) and just a random move (did power gem)
first thing is cresselia uses skill swap while annihilape uses screech (only after empoleon swaps skill) then annihilape will use coaching 3 times while cresselia will light screen then spam lunar blessing to heal until annihilape start to drain punch. After shields broke coach 2 more time then rage punch for win
War room you say?.. that sounds accurate. Can we get some more palworld content? I'd love to hear battle tactics.
Vaporeon / Tera Fire
Modest Nature
Water Absorb
@Shell Bell
252 SPA, 252 SDF, 6 HP
Weather Ball , Sunny Day, Haze, Calm Mind
Only works Solo
I used vapereon
Acid amor
Sunny day
Helping hand
Last resort
I just assisted my team an it went well
Also Vapereon has Water absorb so whenever he uses surf you get healed n since he has grass knot I use acid amor to endure the dmg
Thank you sir
Hey Austin John how is your “Everything to do post game” video coming? I’ve been looking forward to your in depth video for awhile!!:)
Did it with gholdengo nasty plot steel Tera 😊
Caught my first Mightiest Mark...and on one of my absolute favorite Pokemon, no less.
Took two tries. First try, one of the NPCs had an Intimidate Tauros (which wouldn't have been a dealbreaker on its own) and Skeledirge got frozen turn zero. Second try went beautifully, though I was worried I'd run out of time because I was paranoid about keeping Sunny Day up.
I used the Slowbro from awhile ago.
252 HP/S.Atk
Skill swap
Nasty Plot
Amnesia
Stored power
Tera type: Psychic
Item: Shell Bell
Turn 1: Skill swap
Turn 2-4: Amnesia
Turn 5-7: Stored power (not much damage, but used to charge the tera orb.)
Once Empoleon clears your stats do 3 Amnesia and 3 Nasty plot.
Stored power until you win
Empoleon may clear your stats again but just rinse and repeat.
Empolean only does real damage with Grass Knot until you get an Amnesia or two under your belt. Once your terastallize he does almost no damage. After 1-2 Amnesia he does almost nothing. I didn't die once, but I did come close to running out of time so this can still be optimized. I also got very very lucky with Bellibolt scoring paralysis right away and Empoleon being paralized a lot. Though, Empoleon did so little damage I don't think this matter much for the result.
I was rummaging trough my boxes for a good counter (don't have a good Skeledirge) then saw Poliwrath and went like "Minecraft Villager Noise"
I tried it like this:
Rain dance belly drum amnesia drain punch
252 atk 252 SpDef 4Hp
Tera fight
and it worked on the 2nd try (first try i got crit/frozen and went NAH IM OUT), just try to tera fight asap so grass knot does less
For the blaziken raid, i used a support Malamar build with Skill swap, light screen, swagger, and thunderbolt. I skill swapped contrary to him and they still use their stat boosters even while having contrary which further weaken them. Sounds like it might still be a good strategy to use here. Except i might consider swapping thunderbolt to superpower.
