Finally finished investing in my Eternatus.

- Leveled up to Lv100.
- Hyper trained to make it a perfect 6IV.
- Used a Timid Mint on it.
- EV trained using vitamins (Sp.Atk, Speed and Def)

Moveset:
Dynamax Cannon
Sludge Wave
Flamethrower
Shadow Ball

Have been using him for Max Raid Battles, but might also use him for Battle Tower.

Next up will probably be Zamazenta. And I've also read great things about Gyarados for Battle Tower.

Gyrados is insane in Battle Tower. You can win every battle there with just him. Sometimes, when farming for BP, I swap 2 random Pokemon in my party so they can get the Battle Tower ribbons.

Although not usually an issue, I see that you are focused on Special Attacks, which in that scenario, it's actually better not to have Attack at a perfect IV, just in the very odd occurrence that you get Confused and deal damage to yourself. Won't usually matter though. I always just leave Attack at whatever the default was for those Pokemon.

Sludge Wave is a bad choice to use in raids because it will also damage your allies. For raids, you are better off using Sludge Bomb instead.

My Eternatus originally came with a perfect Attack IV. That's why it had to be 6IV.

And yeah, I know Luster. But I'll still leave it like that for the Battle Tower.

5-star Dragapult raids are fucking hell

A couple of Dragon Dances and we ALL go down...

All I need to complete my SwSh Pokedex is to evolve Swirlix and get traded a Turtonator.

Looks like Sword/Shield finally outsold every 3DS Pokemon game. Only ones it hasnt outsold apparently are the original 2 gens and Diamond/Pearl

I can help you out, Poka

---

Thanks, ctes. But someone else helped me out already.

Gigantamax Pikachu has been added as the current event raid. It's the only one, lol.

---

Cool, I don't even have a Gigantamax Pikachu since I never got Pokemon Let's Go. Even if I did get that game, it would have been Eevee version which would only allow me to get Gigantamax Eevee.
