New Ex Raid Contests – Soloing Deoxys Attack Forme
Hold onto your smartphones, Pokebattler is proud to present a new contest! Actually, make that two contests! The legendary Deoxys – Attack Forme is totally solo-able, which gave us some ideas for some unique contests.
- Who can solo Deoxys – Attack Forme in the shortest amount of time.
- Whoever can solo Dexoys – Attack Forme with Pokemon with the lowest total CP
Contest will run for three weeks, ending on January 18, 2019.
For both contests, the following conditions apply:
- No rain or fog weather boosts are allowed due to their rarity. You may fight in the rain or fog but may not use weather boosted attacks. Other weather boosts are fine.
- Legacy moves are allowed (Gengar says hi).
- Raid lobby rejoin trick is allowed.
- You don’t need to catch Deoxys for it to count.
Prizes
Each winner will receive $100 cash and a year-long Contest Winner Subscription on Pokebattler, equivalent to a Fanatic Subscription worth $240! Cash prizes are paid via Paypal. If for any reason there are multiple videos that are both deemed to be equivalent, the prize money will be split and all winners will receive their subscription.
How to Enter and Rules
Video capture yourself playing the game and send us the raw unedited video using Dropbox or Google Drive to [email protected]. The entire fight plus at least 5 seconds of lobbying that shows all the Pokemon used must be included. No cheating allowed of any kind, including spoofers. The contest starts December 29, 2018 8:00 AM Pacific Time and ends January 18th, 2019, at 11:59 PM Pacific Time (meaning West Coast USA GMT-8), or whenever Deoxys – Attack Forme is no longer available, whatever comes first. Your video must be in our email box by then to be considered. Note: Due to the impossibility of verifying whether the winner completed the ex raid on December 28th, any submission with a valid Deoxys – Attack Forme kill will be accepted, even if it was performed on December 28th. Multiple video submissions within 30 minutes of each other will be deemed a tie.
Shortest Time Contest
To win the shortest time contest, we will be using look at the very last number seen on the screen when the swap button disappears. Tie breaker will be whoever gets their video to me first.
Lowest Total CP Contest
To win the lowest CP contest, the CP of all the Pokemon you used will be added up to get a total number. The lowest total number wins. So whether you used 4 mons or 12, each one’s CP will be added. If you use the same one twice, it will be counted twice. If the last one you use is only used for a short time, the full CP will still be counted. Tie breaker is far less likely here but will also be based on submission time.
Winners
We will feature your video on our Youtube, blog, twitter and reddit channels with commentary. If you win, we’ll ask details on the battle including the IVs and movesets of each Pokemon you used and any other interesting details you want to share. We’ll also want to share your Pokebattler ID if you have an account (even a free one) and make battle parties under it to use for links. You may also post your video to your own social channels.

Updates as to the current times and cps to beat will be updated here here.

The lowest CP Contest is heavily reliant on the moveset of Deoxys. I got Zap Cannon, so the lowest CP I could get was 14,881, and for that matter it’s not even possible to get under the current lowest CP if Deoxys has Zap Cannon. Any chance for a consolation prize (Contest winner subscription or something)?
Can’t do that but if you make a YouTube video and send me a blurb I might be able to put something together at the bottom of the winner page
So 144 seconds is the actual battle time and not the time remaining? My (near) perfect maxed Ttars, M2’s and legacy Gengars can’t even get under 185 seconds in simulations, how’s that possible?
144 was the time remaining. I think 150 is possible.
So I spent the last 24 hours doing any kind of simulation. Absolute best I could reach was 163 seconds (so 137 remaining) of battle time with extreme weather and no friendship boosts. Full squad of 100% L40 legacy Gengars. Also I have set it up with perfect charge move dodging, to enhance the ghosts’ durability and DPS. Scratching another 10 seconds looks impossible to me.
Are you sure that record wasn’t boosted? Or am I missing something?
Legacy Gengars can do 151s without rejoining, dodging or the rejoin trick.

Our Deoxys raid is on the 19th of January. Is there anyway to end it on the last day of Deoxys raid instead of the 18th?
Extending a contest with monetary compensation is illegal.
I will think on whether I can do some sort of additional extended time contest.
You do know that Deoxys raids go out on Saturday? So ending Deoxys raid competition on January 18th kinda sucks because it lands on Friday. Regardless, I understand about the extending it because of monetary issues. Regardless, thank you.
Hi celandro, I’ll join the request to extend the contest to just a couple of days later. It’ll include the next Deoxys round.
Unfortunately I had no way to participate yet. The raid scene was completely absorbed by the holidays these weeks in my community, therefore no EX raid took place in a radius of 25 km from my house. None of my 40+ Ultra Friends even had a pass to share, because there were no EX raids at all.
As I would be really glad to take part to the contest, and you’ve been seeing me preparing it for quite a while by now, I’m really looking forward to at least have a shot next Sunday.
Let us know if there’s anything you can do to solve this issue! Thank you.
Tommaso, I agree. We also didn’t have any raids until just recently on the 12th. We were skipped in Orlando one weekend. I know I can beat that lowest CP and fastest time. I just need a chance for it. I don’t care about the prizes I just want to have bragging rights. Atleast some type of leaderboard listing the top players around the world on pokebattler for bragging rights. Atleast the top 5 in the world with their trainer name, where they are from(city and state) and their confirmed times. Bragging rights is my medal.
Bragging rights and leaderboard might be possible. I have wanted to do something like that for awhile but have so much to do right now.
Actually I didn’t dislike the prizes at all hahaha! But yeah at least some sort of compensation of the effort (and the dust spent on purpose) would be appreciated.
I know the money thing ends the 18th. Which you can pay the person but could we keep the contest going until Deoxys leaves raids or changes its forms? Some of us didn’t get many chances yet or the moveset.
