what's going on everyone Austin John plays here and today we're going to be
talking about preparations for Charizard [Music]
first let's go over all the information that we have from the Pokemon company about this
event it's gonna happen December 1st he's gonna be a dragon Terror type he's going
to be a formidable foe it's going to have the mightiest Mark that concludes all the
information that we have officially from the Pokemon company for the Charizard event let's
go over all the information for the Charizard event Charizard is not available in the base
game of Pokemon scarlet and violet this is going to be the first opportunity in which it is going
to be obtainable it is not registerable in the decks it is considered a transfer only Pokemon
and what Pokemon home is updated as well as the game next year we are going to have the ability
to take our Charizards from Pokemon home and bring them in the game vice versa firing and
flying Terror type is going to be Dragon it's gonna have the mightiest Mark there are two
events it's going to be held Thursday December 1st through December 4th and it's going to then
go away and then come back December 15th through 18th so this is kind of what I'm considering the
early adopter challenge because you would have had to have gotten the game at release and then
get your team ready for this level 7 raid we have not experienced level 7 raids in Pokemon scarletta
Violet yet only level 6 star raids by the way this is going to be from 4 P.M Pacific Time
7 PM Eastern midnight GMT 11 11 A.M following day Australian Eastern DT whatever that stands
for now Charizard being the first seven star raid there are some things that we know there are some
things that are most likely accurate and there are some things that we have no idea first of all we
know for a fact that level 6 star raids have 25 times the health meter and that kind of goes in
proportion between the previous star rates so we are going to assume that a level seven Charizard
raid is going to have 30 times his original Health in addition to that as far as individual values or
IVs we know that six star raids guarantee five Max IVs so we are going to assume at this point
that a seven star raid is going to be six perfect IVs a perfect Pokemon we know that six star raids
are level 90 Pokemon we are assuming that seven star raids are level 100 Pokemon you have to be
level 100 to even begin to attempt to do this raid we know that as far as EV distribution
ocean for Pokemon that exist in current raids we are seeing 128 special defense or 128 special
defense 128 defense we can only make an educated guess that a seven star Charizard raid will also
have 128 defense 128 special defense we also know that Pokemon in these raids can have their hidden
abilities we also know that Pokemon in Terror raid dens have more than four moves in some of
the six star raid some of the Pokemon that exists now have up to eight moves so we can presume that
Charizard at a 7 Star raid will have more than four moves and may have the full 8 moves we know
that the eight moves are not directly related to the Pokemon's level up level it can also include
moves that it would know before its current level it can include egg moves and it can also include
TM moves it has access to its complete move pool if we were to look back on the spotlight event
for Evie we had one Eevee designated for three one two three four and five star raid every five
star Eevee that you came across would have a random Terror type but it would always have
these four moves and it would always have these appropriate drops now here's the thing we do not
know if this seven star event is going to be one single Charizard with eight predetermined moves or
if there's going to be a variety of them we may be looking at five six different builds of Charizard
that we have to go up against if we were to look back to Pokemon sword and shield with the wild
Area events at the Mewtwo event we saw that there were three different types of Mewtwo that all had
different builds so this is something that we have seen before so the idea that they would come over
with several different types of Charizard builds is not out of the question which is good for us
because maybe some of them have some counters and then you can find a specific build that can
work for that 1 one specific Pokemon and right here is a list of all the information that was
Data mined for Charizard between its egg moves its level up moves and its TM moves and there
are a lot of them so I went through all of these moves and all of this information and I came up
with what I think we may be looking at as far as all the information for Charizard and its
possible moves that I could know it can have up to eight moves if we are right and it's 30 times
Health we may be looking at an estimated 8910 HP to take down a seven star Charizard 128 defense
128 special defense it can be different and it may have solar power which increases its special
attack when in harsh sunlight these are the moves that I think it is most likely to have and again
we don't know if we're looking at one Charizard that's going to have eight specific moves or if
we're looking at five different Charizards that have a variety achieve different moves as far as
its stab moves when looking at its fire moves it has a whole bunch of fire moves that are pretty
powerful there's the basic flamethrower but then there's the more powerful guaranteed burn Inferno
the only problem with that is it's 50 accuracy we don't know if it would do a low accuracy move like
that flare Blitz that has recoil which it can afford recoil if it has you know 30 health bars
long and heat wave we don't know exactly which it's going to be also look at this look at the
status moves you can have facade it could have belly drum which would take 1 60th of its Health
to maximize its attack while that's unlikely it's not out of the question it could have sword stance
Dragon Dance and it's most definitely going to have willow wisp if you've done any five and
six star raids you know that these Pokemon love to set you burned in addition to that they love
to set weather we're very highly likely going to be seeing sunny day and willow wisp on these
Charizards to burn you to reduce your physical attack and sunny day to increase the power of
fire type moves and boost up its solar power as far as its flying type moves it doesn't have a
lot of flying moves that I think it would run mostly air slash and hurricane those seem the
most likely that 30 Flinch chance 95 accuracy air slash makes it a little bit Troublesome if you're
going to be slower than it also hurricane with the 30 chance to confuse but again not the best
accuracy however it's a pretty strong attack in addition because it's Terror Dragon it may also
run dragon breath Dragon pulse and outrage as we've seen without rage there's a whole bunch
of dragons that already have it it's not out of the question so it may be a special type Pokemon
with an ability that increases its special attack but it may have moves that increase its physical
attack and physical moves as well so that's not out of the question now let's talk about
its coverage moves it can no crunch it can no Thunder Punch it can no Focus blast it can no
solar beam it would love to do that during the sun it can have earthquake it could also have
slash but I just put that on there because I think of Charizard I think of Slash it could have rock
slide and ancient power it could have iron tail and metal claw and as you can see here there is
no Pokemon that exists that is not countered by all of these moves I finally got myself a shiny
Dosh button and then I trained it up and then I also gave it some egg moves that I could learn
being yawn and Howell and the TM for helping hand I was replying to the common dude earlier today on
Twitter who says that what might work for this and their initial strategy is going to be a dash bun
which has well-baked body which makes it immune to fire type moves as as long as abilities are
still going to be active on the playing field attack and speed Adam in nature The Host would
have yawn and then everyone else joining would have helping hand Powell play rough and charm
Powell will increase the attack of all of the people on the field the host is going to do yawn
on turn one everyone else does howl on turn one so now everyone is plus three and then play Ruff
can do some good damage and while he mentions the pixie plate the pixie plate is not obtainable at
this time so you could just run expert belt on that this method may work however the counters
for that is if Charizard decides turn one that he wants to do a willow wisp to all of the members
of the team and then also set up Sun and then he decides to get rid of his drowsiness there's a
lot of things that can go wrong with that after he decides to negate all of your boosts and abilities
you no longer have well-baked body and you will be susceptible to Fire based moves oh he's sleeping
by my feet she she's sleeping by my feet she's a good girl Skittle is very excited now my Zuma real
that I've been running for quite a while with huge power there is a big downside to huge power
which is the same downside of well-baked body which is when the Pokemon decides to negate
your boosts and abilities you not only lose your plus six from belly drum you also lose your huge
power so now your physical attack isn't doubled anymore it's hard to get status conditions and
other things to stick while The Shield is up iron moth has acid spray which sharply lowers
the opponent's special defense and I believe people are saying that that works during the
shield because it is a damaging move and that's the secondary effect and the secondary effect
can stick during a shield in the same way that golden go can have a status condition if it's a
secondary effect like being frozen from a blizzard did I say my water or Zuma real I met my fairy one
I have two of them so I just kind of got them mixed up but yeah it's the same thing as before
except it has play rough belly drum I've also put Aqua ring on there but I'm starting to feel like
Aqua ring may not be a good move because of just how long the animation takes and I feel like that
timer is ticking down during that time I don't know and I put a citrus Berry on there to recover
a little bit of Health after I do the belly drum so it kind of works I'm I still think like Zuma
real is like b-class it doesn't have a good way to constantly restore itself you give a draining
kiss but that only does so much when you're not focusing on special attack but the problem with
Dosh bun and azumarill comes back to the fact that Charizard may have iron tail and metal claw if it
has these moves and in addition to Swords Dance or Dragon Dance it's questionable if you are
even going to be able to get that second turn off azumarel being a water type you have that
slight Advantage because then it's only going to be neutral damage but again again we don't know
until we're actually there a lot of the one hit answers to raids that people are using right now
including iron hands if it has earthquake and sword stance I don't think you're living that
second turn same thing goes for per soccer I mean per soccer is just gonna melt it's a fire type
it's gonna do fire moves berserker's gonna die so if you're thinking about doing the whole Steely
Spirit mixed with screeching and all that stuff it's a question if you would even be able to get
that off the main point and the main takeaway from all this is we can Theory craft what we need now
but we will never actually know what works until the event goes live Thursday night at that point
I'm gonna be putting out a video talking about all the details you need to know and then I'm going to
be talking about how to do it and say for example there are those five Charizards and one of them
doesn't have any Steel type moves then azumarillo and dash button made just sweep we don't know you
know between now and then definitely get yourself huge power at zumerel he's pretty great for reads
I haven't actually used Dodge bun effectively in a raid yet because finding a fire type that's turret
is something that's weak to Ferry it's not the most common thing to find so I'm still I'm still
looking to see if Josh fun is actually going to be useful for anything outside of this Charizard
raid if it is useful in that Charizard rate but I got a shiny one so I trained it up anyways you
know well guys let me know what you're thinking and what you're planning for this Charizard raid
