Zamazenta, Urshifu and a Gmax Fire type is my plan
Uglayyyyyyy
Gonna use my go-to team which is Zamazenta, Blissey and G-Machamp
My guess is yes but it’s going to take some work. My team comp is going to be two Crown Doggos as my tanks and gmax Machamp as my attacker. Mathematically that is the best team you can have
Zama in the lead, Blissey in the back as a healer, and gmax Machamp is my current plan; all three are level 50 too.
Without a mushroom I can’t imagine it’s solo-able
I just peeped a video of Tox solo (both 4-star) and it took about five minutes to beat. The enrage timer is six minutes so it was close. Duraludon’s defense is about as much higher (140 -> 185 = +28%) as the damage is for the Gmaxs (350 -> 450 = 28%) we have deals against it, and Machamp only has slightly less attack than Excadrill (234 v. 255).
Duraludon does not have a double weakness though, meaning it’ll take ~38% less damage (x2.56 -> x1.6). Eternatus effect increases Gmax move damage by 22% (450 -> 550). It’ll be close but I don’t think you’ll be able to solo it without a mushroom, or at least a couple gloves of bonus damage.
I’m a bum ahh marketing major so feel free to correct my mid-tier math.
Yes, if it is possible to solo Dmax Articuno it will be possible to solo duraludon
Forgive my ignorance, but the question is about soloing. Several commenters say they’re going to use Blissey as a healer. But AFAIK, in a solo battle, Blissey can only heal itself, so wouldn’t it be a waste of a spot? Unless they’re using Blissey as a tank and then switching to an offensive Pokemon in the Max phase? I don’t know, so I’m asking.
A bit off topic, but I wonder if Archaludon will be able to Gmax
Good luck soloin’ that beast! Looks like it’d take a whole squad of lvl 40s with maxed counters, lol. But if anyone manages, def post that vid here, cuz that’s some Elite Trainer level stuff!
It’s part Steel so it might have a similar strategy as DMax Metagross. Only thing we’re waiting on are its movesets.
It could be possible but it could be crunching time, sucks i only have one crowned doggos though
Will lvl 50 Zac, zam and machamp as attacker work? All of them has max on all attack healing and shield
Pokechespin.net shows it as a hard solo. At least my Zamazenta, Zacian, g-max Machamp team loses more often than wins sims, but it can win. Shroom makes it an easy win.
Should be an easy duo.
A solo attempt basically requires rolling Dragon Claw as one of the boss moves and hope the other hard hitting move isn’t thrown too often.
Just remember Duraludon also has a GMax form, so unless you’re farming candy it might be better to just do one and be done. Shiny should be there for the GMax too. That being said, GMax Duraludon is basically useless, so I guess it really doesn’t matter.
4* instead of 3 and with actual stats and move would be difficult. Maybe doggo +gmax machamp would be fine?
