Is the story Absol nature-locked?

Is it necessary to have a high-level party to reach Rank K, or is it feasible with lower levels?

Does the NPC AI go off of base type? I rolled a Gard once and all it did was spam gleam

Had success with Ape just brute forcing its way through (had enough timer even after fainting twice), but healing/intimidate support go a long way in the first few turns - 1 bulk up + focus energy seemed to be sufficient setup once tera is activated

Can vouch for Orthworm's survivability, but woud caution against any Coil strats - I struggled to manage PP & damage output given the multiple stat clears Edit: Unrelated, but Focus Energy + 20 Spe EVs for Archaludon made for an easy clear, even without Intimidate support (might have had...

IIRC the parent's form passes down

Solo'd w/ Gholdengo using a suboptimal build, but also had two timely Hydro Pump misses (every other one hit, so might have gone differently). Got steamrolled trying Iron Hands Edit: It never bothered w/ Chilling Water against Hands

I thought Transporter RNG was possible with CFW, no?

Yeah, I've had no issues soloing w/ Miraidon, even when dying. Am curious about how people are pulling off two-turn setup strategies - I can get one Metal Sound off no problem, but if I go for a second setup move (either another Metal Sound or Charge/CM), I can never get an attack off before...

Ape didn't do as well as I initially thought, although that could've been because I didn't bother to retrain for this raid - Bulk Up is just so slow to set up multiple times. You never come close to dying, unless you eat a couple of crits in the same turn, but timer was a bit too close for my...

Yeah, I ran SpD + Covert on a few solo runs and had no issue, but I could see where Def + Metronome could be more helpful, particularly in group raids where timer is more of an issue. I think I had a group where someone had a set closer to yours and the difference in damage output between our...

Would Covert Cloak be worth it just to avoid the chance of a random IP burn?

Slowpoke has 65 Atk and 40 SpA, Slowbro has 75 Atk and 100 SpA

I believe the comment is referring to Slowpoke's higher Atk (compared to its SpA)
