    Kinda looks like the mystery Pokémon might be vileplume

    Edit: love how my harmless speculation/guess got downvoted

      It says that it is a Pokemon not normal in Paldea.

          They are, but it would be pretty lame if they advertised tiff and then it was one that was actually available in the terrarium.

            Unfortunately the Pokémon company is not above lame stuff sometimes…

                I sure hope in this case they’re more reliable than their event raid counter suggestions 😂

                Husian Voltorb would be pretty sweet!

                  I have found their raid suggests great starting points. I have never been able to solo with them as they suggest you can. I also find raids really dependent on your team mates not grind KO’d every round. Fine you cannot bring something to do much damage, but at least do not bring a bug/grass type to a Charizard raid.

                    I usually try to solo first and if on the last day I’ve had no luck I’ll jump online or invite a friend. If I don’t get a raid by early evening of the last day, then I’m offline until I can get together a winning solo strategy.

                    agreed, they’re good starting points, but rarely ready for soloing as given by the site. I’ve been able to modify a few of their suggestions and get raid soloing beasts, though.

                    You’re certainly right about that when going into an event raid with others, you need to be aware of the typing you choose, how it will be affected by the raid Pokemon, and how it will affect your raid mates.
