A few days ago, we attempted to try out a Blastoise raid.<\/p>\n

It was really really difficult. Let me explain:<\/p>\n

Blastoise is a water Pok\u00e9mon, which means its two weaknesses are electric and grass…
\nExcept that\u00a0Blastoise had Bite and Ice Beam. Bite is super effective against psychic-type pok\u00e9mon, and Ice Beam is super effective against grass-type pok\u00e9mon.
\n<\/p>\n

That is the problem with Blastoise raids: its only counters are super weak. All grass pok\u00e9mon die quickly, and electric pok\u00e9mon also die quickly. Even with 5 people, it still had roughly 1\/5 of its health left. I think we would need six or seven people to defeat a Blastoise with the moves Bite and Ice Beam. The reason we were able to defeat tyranitar so quickly is because we were able to find good counters, such as Vaporeon. Tyranitar’s moves are not very effective against Vaporeon, but Blastoise’s moves are effective against any electric-type pok\u00e9mon and any grass-type pok\u00e9mon. We all ended up wasting our free raid pass, since we couldn’t defeat this Blastoise. I wasted many revives and potions reviving my dead Joletons, Exeggutors, and Venusaurs.<\/p>\n

So far, I’ve completed 6 raids (according to my “win raids” badge). I’ve only received 1 TM. TM’s are nice, as they allow your pok\u00e9mon to change their moves. TM’s are decently rare.<\/p>\n

The easiest raid, in my opinion, is the Magikarp raid.<\/p>\n

Warning: The magikarp still does damage to you, even though splash has the number 0 next to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
