You take Raid Ditto on by having the host run a Magikarp. No matter what level they are, that's a win, easy. That's how I got a 6* Ditto before I could even do 5* raids.

You can also just take ditto which will cause transform to fail

I completely forgot about that idea. Maybe some day I'll find a den on the map and can host that one. It's the only way I'll get a Ditto in a rando raid.

At least they aren't as frustrating as the Gen 1 Legendary Birds. Those games didn't have the decency to even let the balls hit them until the very end.

If I remember right, back in the day I actually burned through over fifty ultra balls trying to catch Moltres in Yellow. I actually started screaming in frustration towards the end of it. So yeah Gamefreak has decided to be a wee bit kinder about it now.

A Raid-Ditto will fail on your [Transform-proof Pokemon] and then pick an NPC trainers' if you go Solo, at least.
No idea if you have 4 switches playing if it can only target the host.

Hoppips and Magikarp are both Splashers

Saw my first 5* Ditto raid today. The host's Tinkaton got copied through Imposter, and we didn't get to make a single attack before it systematically ran the timer out as quick as possible just killing the whole team over and over. :downs:

I don't have Online so I made a Persian with Shadow Ball, Nasty Plot and Fake Tears to snooze through my ghost Ditto. I wonder if my allies could take out a Magikarp.

The only one I haven't been able to solo was a 6 star Fairy Dragonite. I had to keep Taunt up to prevent it from going +6/+6 and pounding me into the ground, and I couldn't keep that up along with the buff and debuff support to break the shield.

Dragonite hits like the fist of an angry God once it gets a single dragon dance in.

Out of curiosity if you punch up an egg power sandwich with a double herba mystica does that max out its power?

I've never seen a Ditto at any of the dens, or I would probably try it offline too. But I also don't check many of the dens anyway. But I did find another online tonight. I forget what it turned into, but one person on the team basically did 80% of the bar in one hit, so it worked out this time. :toot:

It has 4 IVs, and it's missing both attacks, but whatever. Good enough to get a decent start whenever I finally figure out what I even want my team to be this gen.

It should be there after defeating it, not sure how long ingame it would take to spawn. It’s not directly in front of the Herba mystica cave if that’s where you’re looking

As a game it’s terrible, but as a family bonding activity it’s been great.

That being said, I am looking forward to finishing all the maps so we can take a break for a while.

In Gen 1, the amount of shakes per throw for an unsuccessful catch is static, and it's tied to the catch rate - in other words, for the same mon, at the same HP and status, you'll always get the same number of shakes, there's no randomness. The "you missed the Pokemon" result comes when the catch rate is something like below 10%, and it's the generic message for zero shakes - it's NOT a zero percent chance or anything like that. But since the number of shakes is static, if you're getting the miss message and then get even one shake, congrats, you're going to catch it!

Yeah 5 star raids are the best balance for farming mats between payout and chance of actually winning.

raids suck poo poo. Input interruptions are really annoying and you're guaranteed 2 per raid, any scripted action resets the cursor position so if you're trying to spam an attack quickly it can change your input, every animation is 50% too long. I’m just doing stuff I can solo from now on
