I was greeted yesterday by an Ex-Raid Invitation, from an Ex-Raid gym that I happened to beat a Mawile. Since this would be my first Ex-Raid encounter, I do not have any idea what to expect. Any tips guys?
I do not know which Boss Mons will be there
I do not have a lot of high CP or even pokemons that have a good moveset
I am just for the experience here. Hope more players will show up during the raid so that I could have a good chance to win and have a chance to catch the featured pokemon what ever it is.
Ex Raid is only for Deoxys. Attack form atm and the easiest one to do.
Get there early and talk to the others that are there to work out which group you go in with.
Your best Physic counters is what use. Bite Crunch Tyranitar are the best to use.
Have fun.
Congratulations on the first! For Attack form of Deoxys you WILL beat it. So whether you capture it afterwards or not, your raid is done (like other raids).
Iām pretty sure the EX raid is a one-time shot. So if you donāt beat the boss in time, you donāt get another chance. I always make sure to join a group big enough to beat the boss, and to wait for others until there are enough. Ask other raiders who might know for that boss.
As with other high-tier raids, if your team āfaintsā you can re-join inside the raid. Until the 3 minutes ends.
Its just like a normal raid. So yes you can go again as long as the raid is still active
Find 2 or 3 from your teams colour to maximize team damage balls. Dont go with a too large group to maximize personal damage balls.
Use shadowball mewtwo, any ghost attack gengar or bite/crunch tyranitar. If you dont have any of those just look at the gohub guide.
Also the catchrate is pretty high. Just dont spam your balls. Wait till after its attack with throwing.
Iāve been pretty lucky and seem to get Ex passes often. Sadly, they usually are scheduled for times when I am at work or I can make it but no one else is there.
Canāt complain though, I did land a Deoxys on one of them.
I remember some Ingress player I have chatted months ago saying they are the one who trigger the Mew2 Ex-Raid in one particular gym, long before āEx-Raid Gymā marker is shown in gyms.
At the moment the Deoxy Attack mode is Ex raid boss and is rather easy to beat. Good luck catching it, i would suggest gold razzing or silver pinaping the first couple throws.
For extra balls get gym control so that may mean getting there 30 minutes early. If you have an ultra friend you play withāŗļøāŗļø you could invite them to your raid for extra dmg and balls! this too will give you friendship bonus.
Itās pretty easy to catch honestly, as long as your patient. Catch rates for EX Raid bosses are higher than Legendaries, boasting a 6% base catch rate. Itās like a 1 in 4 chance of catching it with a Great Curveball Throw and a Golden Razz.
@HLAJR, @Arem1771 is right about the catch rate on Ex raid bosses, throw Golden Razz and be patient at throwing the premier ball, wait until after it attacks
Donāt rush in and start flicking Balls at it madly. Take a brief moment and watch itās move sequences for the keys to throw. Take your time, thereās no extra prize for who can catch it the fastest.
