Hello, Pokémon GO Trainers! Before a Legendary Raid, you've probably faced a common dilemma. Should you build a party with low-CP, high-rank Pokémon as recommended in raid guides? Or is it more effective to fill your party with various high-CP, lower-rank Pokémon? This article delves into the core principles of Pokémon GO raid party composition and provides the optimal strategy to ensure you don't waste your precious Raid Passes.
1. The Flaw of High-Rank Pokémon: A Rank is Meaningless with Low CP
The ranking tables you see in raid guides are based on a Pokémon's theoretical maximum potential. A Pokémon ranked number one, for instance, has the potential to deal the highest DPS (Damage Per Second) for its type. However, this ranking is only valid if the Pokémon's level (CP) is high enough.
Low-CP, high-rank Pokémon have these critical limitations:
- Low Damage Output: Low CP means a low level, which translates to weak attack power. No matter how good the moveset, low attack power results in minimal damage to the raid boss.
- "Glass Cannon" Survival: Raids are a race against time to defeat the boss. Pokémon with low CP, weak defense, and low HP are easily knocked out by the boss's attacks. This drastically reduces the party's overall DPS and wastes precious time on respawning.
In short, a party full of low-CP, high-rank Pokémon may look strong "on paper," but in an actual raid, they will underperform and hinder your team's success.
2. The True Value of High-CP Pokémon: Win with Consistency and Stability
In contrast, even lower-ranked Pokémon can be far more effective in a raid if they have high CP. High CP means a Pokémon is at a high level, and all its base stats—Attack, Defense, and HP—are sufficiently powered up.
- Superior Total Damage Output (TDO): In a raid, not just DPS but also TDO is crucial. High-CP Pokémon can survive the boss's attacks for a longer period, allowing them to accumulate damage consistently. While their instantaneous DPS might be slightly lower than a top-ranked Pokémon, their overall contribution to winning the raid is significantly greater.
- Stable Battle Flow: When your Pokémon don't faint frequently, you can maintain a steady stream of attacks. This ensures your teammates can also deal damage effectively, greatly boosting the entire party's combat efficiency.
3. The Optimal Raid Party Strategy: Choose and Focus
So, what's the most efficient way to build your raid party? The answer is to prioritize and use the highest-CP Pokémon you have that have moves super-effective against the raid boss.
- Aim for at Least 3000 CP: For challenging 5-star Legendary Raids, it's safe to build a party with Pokémon that are at least 3000 CP. This is the minimum threshold for surviving one or two of the boss's attacks and still dealing enough damage.
- Power Up a Few Key Pokémon: Instead of thinly spreading your Stardust and Candy across many Pokémon, focus on powering up a few key Pokémon for a specific raid. One or two Pokémon powered up to 4000 CP or higher will be far more effective than several Pokémon in the 2000 CP range.
Conclusion
In Pokémon GO raids, the practical battle ability determined by "CP (level)" is much more important than the theoretical "rank." If a high-rank Pokémon has low CP, set it aside and build a solid raid party with your high-CP Pokémon to secure your victory!
