Is Cresselia worth raiding?
New tier 5 announced
Answers
It's... a Legendary Pokémon, so you have a really good chance to get lots of great drops like TM's and Rare Candies?
It looks cute?
It... might be a decent Gym Defender if Niantic ever realizes that putting a Legendary in a Gym is not going to break the meta?
It's a Dex Entry?
I dunno. I'm actually kind of happy about this because it's winter, it's hard to get out and raid, and this won't motivate me to find a way to make sure my phone stays warm for the 7min of Raid + Catch. And I can do Christmas shopping instead of Raiding!
Win-Win?
Not really. Cresslia is awful offensively- someone on TSR mentioned Smoochum has higher base attack. While Cresselia is a defensive beast, you might as well use Lugia which has at least reasonable attack, more bulk, and also double resists fighting (for Machamp solos). Cresselia does have access to Confusion which is better than Extrasensory, but this doesn't hardly dig it out of it's hole.
not really . i was going to try just because i find myself with 40+ raid passes. i've boughten a couple of the boxes in the past month or so to get incubators and obviously there were raid passes in them.
we did one Cressilia. and nobody wanted to do the 2nd. it's one of those pokemon that you could get a 100%.. and it doesn't matter. you'll never use it. It's just strictly a pokedex entry.
