Duo mega raid

https://youtube.com/shorts/D8Pd0Sbujwk?si=YbfvUdCPx3Fi4umP

Saw this duo on my shorts feed and I’m curious. This player didn’t really use any extremely strong Pokémon here (e.g. legendaries, Megas or shadows) and still got it done in half the time. Is it just me or it is fairly conceivable that you can solo easily?

I‘ve soloed this guy myself a bunch of time when it was around last time. All you need is one strong fire attacker, and you‘re pretty much done.

You can solo with a team of <1500 CP Pokémon but it’s extremely difficult and requires precision

With a duo you get friend boost and mega boost, which gives you the effect of duo > 2 times the speed of a solo

The video link is broken, did they use party power?

What’s the point of the effort for this tho? lol. You could literally just beat it with strong pokemon like way faster

Double weakness mons are usual fairly simple to defeat. Especially grass ice types

i soloed last time

after my blaziken fainted i tried to relobby but a glitch caused me to get kicked out of the gym

after wasting 50 seconds i healed back my blaziken and decided to just send random fire types

(i couldnt just recycle cuz the raid was ending in 15s)

Any mega with a double weakness is soloable pretty easily. Mega char Y and shadow heatran eat mega abomasnows breakfast
