Overview
Jynx has a reputation for being frail, but her low HP, normally a weak point, is not an issue due to the raid tier’s static 3000 HP. On the other hand, her typing gives her 6 weaknesses, some of which host the highest DPS attackers in the game.
Access to Confusion complements her decent attack stat - Jynx is packing heat, although raid solo veterans shouldn’t expect her to be on the level of Alakazam. If you don't bring along bulky Pokemon with Psychic resistance, expect to wipe out if you don’t dodge a little. Overall, the raid experience should be similar to vs. Machamp: timing out and wiping out can both be an issue depending on team composition, but a well-crafted team should find this raid a walk in the park.
Approach
Team composition
- The top 3 Fire-types are ideal, with excellent DPS and respectable bulk
- Tyranitar and Metagross greatly aid victory if powered up above level 30
- Prefer Dark-types and Metagross vs. Psychic sets; Fire-types otherwise
Dodging strategy
- Aim to use 2 Overheat per Moltres, Entei, or Flareon before fainting
- Dodging helps frail 'mons like Gengar, but hurts bulky ones like Tyranitar
- If failing: attempt fewer dodges if timing out, more dodges if fainting out
Counters
Note: "Good" movesets are not necessarily viable at the level indicated.
