Today, I wanna talk about my recent attempts to raid Reshiram in Pokemon Go. It’s been a bit of a wild ride, so buckle up.
First off, I did some reading up on Reshiram. This beast is a Dragon and Fire-type Legendary, so naturally, it’s got some weak points. I found out that it’s particularly vulnerable to Ground, Rock, and Dragon-type moves. I figured, “Okay, I’ve got some strong Pokemon in those categories, this should be doable.”
Prepping for Battle
I started by powering up my best counters. My Dialga, Rayquaza, and Rhyperior were looking pretty buff after I dumped a bunch of Stardust and Candy into them. I made sure they had the right movesets too. For example, I equipped my Rhyperior with Mud-Slap and Rock Wrecker. I felt pretty confident in my team.
The First Raid Attempt
My first raid was a bit of a disaster. I teamed up with a few other players, but we just couldn’t take Reshiram down. We got close, but those powerful attacks were just too much. I realized that just having the right types wasn’t enough. I needed to refine my strategy.
Berries and Throwing Techniques
Next, I started thinking about berries. I’d always just chucked Pokeballs without much thought, but I learned that berries could make a big difference. I stocked up on Golden Razz Berries, figuring they’d give me the best chance of catching Reshiram. I also practiced my throwing technique, trying to hit those Excellent throws consistently.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
I also realized that coordinating with my raid group was key. We started discussing which Pokemon to use and when to use our Charged Attacks. We found that timing our attacks together could stagger Reshiram and give us an edge. It was all about that synergy, you know?
A Close Call
We had a few more close calls, but we were getting better each time. I could feel the excitement building as we whittled down Reshiram’s health. In one raid, we were so close I could almost taste victory, but we ran out of time. It was frustrating, but it also fueled my determination.
Success at Last!
Finally, after several attempts, we did it! We took down Reshiram, and I was ready with my Golden Razz Berries. I took a deep breath, focused, and threw an Excellent curveball. The Pokeball shook once, twice, three times… and clicked! I caught Reshiram! The feeling was amazing. All that effort had finally paid off. It’s a dragon/fire type with Fire Fang and Fusion Flare as its best moves.
