GamePress

Since the game is quite boring right now I've decided to look into Jolteon solo. Been avoiding it since GamePress indicated that I should bring a bunch of level 40 Groudons, which I have no intention to invest in.

But now, according to Pokebattler it seems that 2 level 30 Groudons, 1 level 33 Rhypherior plus 1 level 40 Dragonite will take it down with 95% prob. Is this correct?

What's your minimal team to solo Jolteon?

Very curious on this one as well. I've got a level 40 mewtwo available as well.

Pokebattler is correct; the cp change weakened Jolteon in terms of solos.

I hope Niantic puts effort into updating their solo raid list. I rely on their website for soloing tier 3 raids. The outdated info is not really beneficial to me.

Niantic does not run or have any control over GamePress.

There is so much to update and progress has certainly been made (see the new Attackers Tier List). Give the GamePress editors more time and feel free to contribute information.

Lolled at my typo. Niantic should have been Gamepress obviously.

The jolteon raids likely will end before an updated solo guide comes out, as theres only 3 or so days left until the eevee line take over of tier 3's end.

I'd rather not spend the entirety of Thanksgiving holiday slaving over updating the solo guides, but you gotta do what you gotta do...

This team works for me. 4-4 with an average win time of 10-20 seconds. Rays make the difference with good DPS and pretty much close the deal. HP boost certainly factors in.

The difference is the two Groudons, without those you don't stand a chance. And even your maxed Dragonite performs better than the level 30 Rayquaza (by 3-4 seconds for a full team over 180 sec)

That might not be a maxed Dragonite, 3792 is its new max cp. Plus, it might have DracoMeteor or something.

Just did it with this team. Sunny so weather boosted ground and I had 21 seconds left. Jolteon had Thunder shock thunder bolt moveset. The rhydons were taken to the last bit of health allowing me to unload a final EQ and switch out. No dodging and stupid game wouldn't let me use the 2710 but still had plenty of time to spare.

Edit: sorry it was thunder single bar charge move

I'm baffled. None of those have a win-time under 200 secs. Must have been one in a thousand to make that one. The picture of your team is obviously not from the fight where you won.

Edit: Sorry, didn't catch the weather boost, but still the picture of your team...

He tries the switch out pokemon before they faint, the game wouldn't let him switch to the 3rd one in his pre-made party.

Not for my tastes, however, I don't get cute in general. I have a level 37 Groudon, plus a couple double grounds level 32/33s despite fully realizing their limited use.

In some matchups it is time effective to change attackers just before the last one would die to a charge move. Taking damage generates energy, and generating energy faster sometimes leads to a faster clear time.

I thought u asked for a min team lol. I find that changing out in certain situations result in more DPS. The goal being to have the charge bar at 0 when u switch as well not getting KOd. Only works if the next mon has a similar dps and u dont use a 7th mon. If I had a high level groudon at the one spot I'd at least dodge charge moves when my charge bar is close to max as to not waste generated energy from taking a hit. Getting more TDO on groudon is better since its DPS is higher than a crappy level 30 rhydon even with a couple dodges. Every dodge and every switch lowers ur DPS so if u can switch when ur health is under 5% ur DPS will b maximized if that makes sense. I was lucky also that I was hit with charge moves before and not during my EQs thru the whole raid which allowed me not to dodge. This a good strategy when u have tanky attackers and worried about timing out and the raid boss has a one bar ineffective charge move. When level 3 bosses were harder I'd back out until I got the correct moveset. Tbh I expected a difficult raid with this team and brought my A game. The 2 middle mons had atk IVs of 5.

I have 2 Level 38 Groudons and 4 Level 35 Rhydons. I barely solo'ed a Volt Switch/Discharge Jolteon in Neutral weather, and it only took down the two Groudons. I did have network issues which caused about 20 seconds worth of lag (and took out one of the Groudons), so I should have had 20ish seconds left on the clock rather than the clock literally hitting 0 as the Raid Boss shrunk down to the final size.

I'm considering using a Sinnoh stone on one of the Rhydon's to get Rhyperior and try again, to see how much of a difference that might make for me. (Pokebattler is nice, but it can't predict my network issues, sadly)
