[Quick Analysis] Community Day Delphox with Blast Burn as a fire-type raid attacker
TL;DR Great chance for new players (2023) to get a cheap fire team that works great. If you already have Chandelure (Dec 2022 CD) or better, not much need to bother. Among starters only, Blast Burn Delphox is (and will be) the 2nd best, only behind Blaziken and tied...

[Full Analysis] Volcarona, Mega Pinsir and Kleavor as raid attackers
TL;DR Mega Pinsir is current best bug attacker. But for boosting group damage, it's way worse than Primal Kyogre in the 6th slot (and worse than Mega Scizor in large lobbies). Will be outclassed by Mega Heracross. Even though Volcarona is the best non-mega Bug and a...
Mega Pinsir Raid Guide
Download full size inforgraph here. Mega Pinsir, chonky bug is here! Mega Pinsir will be a good bug attacker, it's uses in PvP are pretty limited, but it's shiny! Double weakness to rock make this an easy choice, plenty to choose from, if you don't have some of these...

[Very Quick Preliminary Analysis] Volcarona, Kleavor and Mega Pinsir as raid attackers
No way I can finish the full analysis before raid day starts. In fact, due to extremely busy IRL schedule, I'll have to stop working on this until just before Mega Pinsir enters raids. This very quick preliminary article is for those who need this to decide how much...
![[Analysis] Mamoswine as an Ice and Ground-type raid attacker: Is 6*L50 Shadow Mamoswine worth it?](https://articles.pokebattler.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Summary-Table-400x250.png)
[Analysis] Mamoswine as an Ice and Ground-type raid attacker: Is 6*L50 Shadow Mamoswine worth it?
Edit: I forgot to consider Zygarde raids, which are also best countered by Mamoswine. It should still be duoable by L30 regular Mamoswines with best friends, but harder than Rayquaza and Landorus. More discussions here. TL;DR - If you want to DUO Mega Rayquaza, yes!...
![[Analysis] Tsareena as a Grass-type raid attacker, and revisiting Tapu Bulu and Shaymin](https://articles.pokebattler.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Grass-Now-ASETTW-1-400x250.png)
[Analysis] Tsareena as a Grass-type raid attacker, and revisiting Tapu Bulu and Shaymin
TL;DR None of them can ever touch Kartana, and they're also all worse than shadow grass types (& Zarude). But they're among the best of the rest! Tapu Bulu >= Roserade > Tsareena > Chesnaught, but they're all very close. (L50 of one > L40 of...
Landorus Raid Guide
Download full size inforgraph here. Landorus is here! It's a decent raid attacker, maybe not as good as the other Landorus, but same candies, and it has it's place! You need the right team to make it work in PVP master league, but who knows.. and it's shiny!...
![[Analysis] Togekiss as a raid attacker, with and without Community Day move Aura Sphere](https://articles.pokebattler.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Fairy-Now-ASETTW-400x250.png)
[Analysis] Togekiss as a raid attacker, with and without Community Day move Aura Sphere
TL;DR [KEY POINT] Yes, you DO want both Aura Sphere and Dazzling Gleam on your Togekiss for raids. But it's ultimately not too big of a deal, with or without it. Aura Sphere is a small upgrade in raids whenever it can be used! Better than Dazzling Gleam if boss is...
Regieleki Raid Guide
Download full size inforgraph here. It's another Regi, this one is electric! I don't see much use for it, in PvP or PvE, not much chance to get one, limited window, what's not to love! All ground, all the time! Ground is the only super effective move here, a non...
![[Analysis] Shadow Blaziken and Shadow Sceptile as raid attackers](https://articles.pokebattler.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Fire-Now-ASETTW-400x250.png)
[Analysis] Shadow Blaziken and Shadow Sceptile as raid attackers
TL;DR Both are outclassed by legendaries, namely Fusion Flare Reshiram and Kartana. Shadow Blaziken is now the best shadow non-legendary fire type, but Shadow Sceptile only ties other grass-type shadows. Shadow Blaziken (Blast Burn): Worse than Fusion Flare Reshiram...
