Battle Tips
- Front-load your top Electric and Grass DPS for fastest TTK.
- Include one tank/healer in larger lobbies to soak G-Max hits and maintain uptime.
- Quick-dodge only very heavy Max Moves; otherwise favor uptime to maximize damage over long fights.
Team Size
15-20 trainers are required.
Recommended items
- Max Revives
- Max Potions
- Razz / Golden Razz for catch
When To Avoid
Avoid using fragile Water or Ice attackers that will faint quickly to Inteleon's charged moves. Also be cautious with bulk-reliant Pokémon that do low DPS despite resisting Water.
Raid Strategy & Catch Tips
If Inteleon uses Hydro Pump or Snipe Shot, conserve shields for your highest-DPS Electric attackers. After the raid, use Golden Razz for a higher catch probability, Silver Pinap is handy when you want Candy and are willing to risk the catch.
