  • 2162 – 2264 CP  in Windy weather for weather boosts.

Espeon is a relatively convenient boss as a Tier 3, because its defences are low and also its high attack builds your own Pokemon’s charge bars. Certainly, it is not the hardest Tier 3 and will be able to prove to be a semi-easy solo for high-level players. Looking at group sizes, high-level players have to try to tackle an Espeon with 1 to 4 players. Any other players are going to see success with groups ranging from 5 to 20 players.

Alakazam Boss CP is 23150 and will be able to have Max Capture CP of 1747 (Level 20, Perfect IV, no weather boost) and 2184 (Level 25, Perfect IV, weather boosted).

Alakazam Solo Raid is not really hard, although you have to dodge. If the raid boss has Focus Blast, so you have to dodge or get one-shot. Please remember to use Tyranitar and your Bug crew in the first attack squad. Utilize Gengars and Umbreons in the second wave (if the first wave of attack fails). You have to prioritize DPS over survival, it is ok if you get knocked out fast however manage to deal many damage.

Moltres

Moltres

The best Pokemon to use against Moltres are strong Rock-type attackers like Tyranitar, Smack Down, Rhyperior, Terrakion and Rampardos. Moltres is not solo-able. It takes a minimum of two trainers to take it down with optimal counters (Smack Down Tyranitar), even though unsure groups have to try with at least 4. Moltres is a flying and fire type.

  • 2370 – 2475 (Level 25, Max IV during Sunny or Windy weather)

Aside from that, Moltres is also double weak to Rock-type attacks, that makes picking counters for a Moltres fight easy and almost the same as Articuno. A team of Smack Down Tyranitar and Smack Down Rampardos are going to do the trick. Moltres takes double effective damage from rock type moves, due to its dual fire and flying type. Also, Moltres takes highly effective damage from water and electric type moves, even though it is better to prioritize rock type attackers over water and electric.

The best Pokemon to fight Lugia is Raikou or a Tyranitar, depending on Lugia’s moveset. Please be aware that a Lugia with Hydro Pump is going to destroy any Pokemon which is weak to Water.
