What battle parties do you make?

Nice topic. Similar here. I've got parties for Omastar, Porygon, Machamp, and Gengar solos. Plus one General Gym. I probably don't need one for Porygon since that one takes two Pokemon, which would free up room for a different General Gym varietal.

Gym, ho oh non SoB, ho oh SoB team A, ho oh SoB team B.
For solos I have 2 min to burn in the lobby so no problem to pick a team.

I just realised that it’s good to have a backup party for raids if number of participants is low. Could save a lot of seconds and DPS by just swiping for your back up party and rejoin immediately rather then revive your attackers or looking for better options then chansey and Blissey that the game keeps recommending.

1. Hooh team

2. Ttar team

3. Lapras team

4. Snorlax team

5. PVP team

Hooh with and without Solar Beam, and soloing Machamp.

I should make a gym team since it's kind of annoying every time it suggests one of my weaker Gengars that has SP FB for some reason.

I just made these two teams today after completing my last Ho-oh raid and powering up my 95% Ho-oh to lvl 35. The first team consists of gym sweepers, hence the name "Generals", and the second team is solely for Tyranitar raids, which I will now be focusing on to find that 100% Tyranitar. I'll probably make more interesting teams later on, but I'm sticking with these teams for now.

Until they create a "Start raid now" button to skip the lobby timer, there isn't really any point to use the slots for raid teams. The exceptions would be for short handed raids or vs Legendaries on their favorable weather days (setting up second wave). OR if you are trying a gimmick solo and you've got to fish around for sub-optimal counters.

I'm working on tweaking my gym teams. I like the idea of a "all fighting" and a "strong generals" teams. I'll probably put a another team of fun gym counters so I'm not always using Machamp and Ttar.

Finally, it's an easy way to show off a few mons that don't necessarily have the highest IV, since I've favorited over a hundred mons so I don't accidentally transfer them.

Creating battle parties with the following guidelines: 2 Machamp, 1 Dragonite, 1 Tyranitar, with two other monsters ranging from Golem, Exeggutor, Gyarados, Raikou, Rhydon and Lugia.
Purpose: General Battle.

1. Gym battlers, 2 Machamp, 1 Dragonite, 1 Tyranitar, 2 mons for growing win count
2. Ho-Oh team 1, 5 Golem, 1 Raikou
3. Ho-Oh team 2, 2 Golem, 2 Gyarados, 2 Dragonite

I go in to Ho-Oh with team 1 regardless of charge move and rejoin with team 2 if necessary. There's no reason to skimp on DPS against Solar Beam.

There aren't sadly enough to have for all solo teams, but there's always a full 120 seconds to pick them and I can easily remember them without help.

Rock stars, fight club, psycho squad, gardeners and defenders. I might switch out the defenders for a swim team instead cause I never go into my teams to find a defender
