[Analysis] Glaciate Kyurem, Mega Glalie and other ice-type raid attackers
TL;DR Glaciate Kyurem: Don't see it as an ice attacker! It's really an honorary dragon attacker, only below shadows and sometimes Rayquaza, but somewhat inconsistent in utility. You'll make great use of it if you do power one up, but not a must-have (and not...

Cobalion Raid Guide
Download full size infograph here Cobalion is here in raids, it hasn't made a huge splash as a raid counter before, and doesn't now. It's moved up a bit in the PvP rankings, but you have to decide if it's good for your team. Terrakion was the one to get, it currently...
December Community Day 2022: Guide for Raid Attackers
TL;DR Must have: Hydreigon Great, but don't be stressed if you can't get more than 1: Garchomp, (Shadow Swampert) Edit: To clarify, anyone who has enough resources to get >1 Garchomp should. I'm just saying it's not worth going all in if you don't (rare...

[Analysis] Fighting-type raid attackers (Dec 2022): Keldeo, Mega Blaziken, and revisiting Terrakion
TL;DR Terrakion is a beast, get it from raids now. Best fighting type, better than Shadow Machamp, Lucario and all others. Also a good rock type if you lack Rampardos and Rhyperior. Keldeo: A great attacker, but not worth the $8 ticket. Low Kick (current): Around...

[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] Guzzlord Solo Guide
TL;DR Generally safe, but small chance to get unlucky if Guzzlord has Sludge Bomb (1/8 failure rate against SB, 3.3% in random raid): 6*L40 regular Gardevoir(6*L40 Togekiss is similar, but even less consistent against Sludge Bomb)6*L35 Shadow Granbull Almost...
