[Analysis] Mega Sceptile, Blaziken and Swampert as Grass, Fire and Water-type raid attackers
TL;DR Best Grass, Fire and Water, period. Mega Blaziken is tied with Mega Charizard Y (slightly higher DPS but less bulk). The difference is splitting hairs and largely depends on typing, but if I have to pick one, Blaziken.Yes, Mega...
[Preliminary analysis] Quick thoughts on Ursaluna as a ground-type raid attacker (Last-minute for our APAC friends)
TL;DR Now, without a ground-type fast move: Meh. Shadow Ursaluna with Tackle/High Horsepower is comparable to ground Rhyperior at best. Below Garchomp, Landorus-T, Groudon, and probably Excadrill.Non-shadow Ursaluna? Nope. POTENTIAL: [Update - This is now VERY...

[Analysis] Shadow Force Giratina, Mega Banette and Zoroark as raid attackers
TL;DR Giratina Origin with Shadow Force: Great, but not worth going crazy for. It's a top-tier ghost/dark attacker, but it's similarly as good as 4 others, including - and usually below - Community Day Hydreigon. L40 Hydreigon ≈ L45 Giratina-O.There are only 15-20% of...
