Suicune Raid Guide
Download full size infograph here. Suicune! Cat? Dog? Beast? I mean, it's blue and not super useful, but pretty and maybe someday it will get better moves? Grass and electric are key here, I hope you didn't miss Kartana and Xurkitree! If you did, I've got some to...
Entei Raid Guide
Download full size infograph here. The legendary beast is here! Entei, grumpy guy, but shows up a lot as a raid counter, and this is candy for a shadow! The usual rock and water show up here, and the community day waters make their mark! Rhyperior always showing up,...
![[Quick Analysis] Vikavolt as a Bug and Electric-type raid attacker: Better than you might think!](https://articles.pokebattler.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Bug-ASETTW-400x250.png)
[Quick Analysis] Vikavolt as a Bug and Electric-type raid attacker: Better than you might think!
TL;DR Even though the CD move Volt Switch is irrelevant in raids, Vikavolt is actually a legitimate raid attacker in both its types, especially as a bug. [Bug] The best "realistically affordable" bug attacker - everything above it is too expensive to be...
![[Analysis] Currently released Paldean Pokemon as raid attackers: Baxcalibur, Starters, and more](https://articles.pokebattler.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Ice-Now-ASETTW-400x250.png)
[Analysis] Currently released Paldean Pokemon as raid attackers: Baxcalibur, Starters, and more
TL;DR Baxcalibur is good, but absolutely not worth the rarity. #1 non-shadow non-mega ice attacker, narrowly surpassing Galarian Darmanitan and Mamoswine, but doesn't mean much when Shadow Mamoswine is way better (and more common).Underwhelming as a...
![[Analysis] Season of Adventure Abound: Scorching Sands Excadrill, Magical Leaf users and Shadow Zapdos as raid attackers](https://articles.pokebattler.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Ground-Now-ASETTW-400x250.png)
[Analysis] Season of Adventure Abound: Scorching Sands Excadrill, Magical Leaf users and Shadow Zapdos as raid attackers
TL;DR Scorching Sands Excadrill narrowly outclasses Earth Power Garchomp. This moderate upgrade makes it one of the best regular non-legendary ground attackers, although it's still well below shadows and PB Groudon. Watch out for its typing...
![[Analysis] Dragon Ascent Rayquaza, Mega Rayquaza and Oblivion Wing Yveltal as raid attackers](https://articles.pokebattler.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Mega-Rayquaza-Neutral-400x250.png)
[Analysis] Dragon Ascent Rayquaza, Mega Rayquaza and Oblivion Wing Yveltal as raid attackers
TL;DR Mega Rayquaza is #1 Flying and #1 Dragon in solo power, in a league of its own. Regular Rayquaza is also #1 non-mega Flying attacker, above Shadow Moltres. Double move your Mega Ray: Dragon Ascent & Breaking Swipe (or Outrage) Oblivion Wing Yveltal...

[Analysis] Community Day Greninja with Hydro Cannon as a raid attacker
TL;DR Water Shuriken/Hydro Cannon Greninja is the #1 non-legendary non-shadow non-mega water attacker. It's a clear improvement from the "traditional" non-legendaries: Swampert, Kingler, Samurott, etc. However, it's worse than most shadows and Origin Pulse Kyogre (and...
![[Analysis] Mega Diancie and Geomancy Xerneas as raid attackers](https://articles.pokebattler.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Rock-Now-ASETTW-400x250.png)
[Analysis] Mega Diancie and Geomancy Xerneas as raid attackers
TL;DR Mega Diancie is now the best rock attacker in solo power. Mega Tyranitar outperforms it in group damage (neutral typings) even if just one other player uses rock. But in that case, a background Primal may work even better. Although Geomancy...
