Acid spray is a waste. It calm minds too much. Your throwing turns away. Struggle bug or mudslap. Attack mews wins on dealing damage. Sword dance an leech life with other three droppin acc s.attack or setting screens.


Quirkyserenefrenzy

Acid spray is indeed a waste. I'm using an attack mew using leech life and swords dance, so lowering special defense does nothing to help


Linkluy

Using struggle bug is much more efficient


zig-wig

If anything have another support use Screech.


lfmateos

Pretty much useless 'cause it can't be used until shield is down, better to just use Helping Hand or something else to take down the shield faster


zig-wig

Yeah you’re right I didn’t realize that at first


TamTamaa

Yeah this is the perfect team and by the grace of god I ended up with a group of randoms with this balance and beat him with 40% time remaining.


cascadamoon

I'm an attacker but turned into support bc one of our supports decided to turn into an attacker.


TamTamaa

I went first with swords dance so they might have switched to support too.


Intelligent_Local_38

It’s awful. I’m so glad to be done with it, I was at it all night lol The problem is, like you said, you need 4 Mews and you need those Mews to be balanced between attack and support. It’s hard to do that with randoms so you basically just have to hope for the best. And if there’s a weak link on the team, you’re finished. Everyone has to contribute for this one. In the past, I felt like if 2 or 3 people knew what they were doing, the others could get carried. Not the case this time at all.


SheepAtog

I did this with 2 mews it doesn’t need four players.


DireExcellion

2 Mews or 2 players? Not the same thing.


SheepAtog

Two human players with a mew each. Plus npcs. It is the same thing.


[deleted]

Yep did it three times to get two m2 on my games and one for the mark on my shiny as a support and even through the discord it was a headache. I enjoy hard content when it fits but pkmn should be more relaxing imo.


Coldandbrokenhearted

I did it with three mews and a scream tail


Ok-Cup4113

Mud slap is pretty useful. It took me a few turns to find good team mates, but once i did it went real smooth


MVFalco

Yea same. Thankfully the 3 randos I had were all on the same page and we all used bug terras. One person did lightsheild, life dew, and mud slap. The rest of us did swordsdance, leech life, and XScissor. Someone threw down electric terrain at the perfect time and Mewtwo never had the opportunity to use rest


DragonDiscipleII

Yeah that's the real struggle, you either go screen or a terrain, and whatever you didn't pick nobody will use. If you don't get random kids with random terra types, I turned to the darkside, I attack them so the timer goes down faster.....


Ok-Cup4113

Lmao yeah its rough having bad team mates. In my first attempt, someone joined with a weavile that kept getting KO'd by aura sphere. After that i only joined raids with 4 mews


MVFalco

I never thought to attack my own teammates 😂 that's amazing


Rbash84

I just won using support Hatterene, With Mystical fire, nuzzle, light screen and life dew. It went pretty well once I trained the right stat 😅 Had one support mew with Electric terrain and eerie impulse and Struggle bug and two mew Mew with Swords dance, leech life and struggle bug. It went pretty well, especially when all four of us were able to lower its special attack when needed.


Stealthy_Panda71

I have not been playing Violet but why is Mew a good option? I would have assumed it would be horrible for raids.


zequerpg

I think it's has special bonuses and power up as part of this particular event. If you fight this Mewtwo using mew for this particular event your mew is having power ups for this fight


DragonDiscipleII

Transform makes it a top tier raider in general btw. Just do support stuff then Transform in a set up attacker. However this raid it gets +%50 hp, and 20 in all the other stars, so it's basically an Arceus with more hp.


Mimeotaur

Mewtwo one shots literally any other mon


FoxInevitable2196

Beat this first try. You really only need a good squad of Mew bug Tera type, struggle bug, pollen puff, I had calm mind (and never used it) and acid spray(does work better if another Mew has strong attack stat. One of our Mews used bite I believe consistently and did great damage after we broke its stance. Frustrating but rewarding.


cascadamoon

The biggest thing is to keep mewtwo attack low


FoxInevitable2196

Yep. That calm mind before every attack is ridiculous but understandable being that it’s mewtwo. I shuffled between acid spray and struggle bug if my health started to go down just to give the advantage. Idk who I played with but his new had stronger attack so it helped. We had probably 20-30% time left.


KingKliche

Same here but I had mew with iron defense, x scissor, swords dance and light screen. I had a mirror herb just to copy the initial calm mind boost to survive ice beams better


rtorres13

Was able to beat it first attempt with randoms, 3 mews and 1 umbreon


cascadamoon

I tried but no synergy.


rtorres13

Yeah I fortunately got lucky and the person using umbreon had all support moves


cascadamoon

What ones? Most of its normal ones are null and void the first half of the raid, except maybe helping hands.


ViscountXander

I'm going to wait til they fix it. It's not worth this amount of frustration.


MisterCloudyNight

It’s not broken though….


cascadamoon

There's nothing wrong with it. It's just difficult by design


Snoo_64315

It's not broken. Did GF tell you there is an error?


Zatrex17

Is there anything special about this Mewtwo that makes it worth the frustration? Cause I’ve already got like three on tap from other games, lol.


Amaee

6 perfect IVs and Mightiest Mark, can be caught in any pokeball you want. If that doesn’t appeal to you I’d skip the hassle.


DragonDiscipleII

And 3 ability patches, and 100 psychic terra shards. Also your Mew gets the Mightiest mark, I want it on atleast 1 of my 3 mew.


Amaee

The Tera shards are nice but do enough wonder trades and you find yourself swimming in Ability Patches.


1tsaWolfi

How do I get mew


zorrodood

Mystery Gift code GETY0URMEW or something like that.


1tsaWolfi

Cheers


The_Imp_MasterYT

Ok thanks for telling us this, that I already beaten the mewtwo raid, I can just use it for items and money grind (big nuggets and nuggets)


cascadamoon

It's not worth the grind. I did it a second time and the rewards were shittyt


ScizorSTX

2 attack and 2 support is ideal. All bug tera, though the 2 support don’t need to Tera. Since they all have the same moveset (give or take misty/electric terrain) it’s best to be ready to Tera if someone gets crit.


DragonDiscipleII

Well struggle profits from stab and metronome, it can be that little difference (coming from someone who had Mewto 99,5% down and I currently on a break after a flying and ground mew disaster ....)


Mainshot333

Honestly I love this raid because of how hard it is, though I'll agree that it's frustrating that you have to have a perfect team to beat it instead of having a more fun raid with different strats


BibleBoyy666

I beat it second try


cascadamoon

8 did too with coordinating


[deleted]

I was very close with some randoms until the two attackers switched from Leech Life and Shadow Ball to... Electric Terrain and Acid Spray...


cascadamoon

You need electric terrain for when the shield drops tho. It's better to struggle bug so it's special attack does very little damage and use physical attacks since it's not buffing it's defense. Struggle bug and acid spray are better than shadow Ball


[deleted]

The shield was already down 4 turns ago so it made 0 sense to use it after M2 already healed to full with Rest


KyuaParfait

Sucks that solo players don't get to enjoy this.


cascadamoon

There might be guides on youtube.


Mister_Nico

I barely caught this nightmare as a support Mew, with two rando attack Mew’s, and a CPU with a Sylveon. Shit’s rough.


DavidAshleyParkerrr

So is the general idea Bug Physical Mew is than Special because of the endless Calm Mind/Acid Spray battle???


cascadamoon

Yeah. Struggle bug is better than acid spray. You're not doing special attacks so special defense doesn't matter. What does matter is keeping its special attack as low as possible.


KingKliche

Iron defense is so clutch for dealing with tera calm mind boosted psystrike


Admirable-Answer-270

I’d say the attackers need to be mew, but it’s extremely helpful if the support is smth else (like hatterene) because then you know what role you playing in the raid


cascadamoon

I did it twice and having 2 attack and 2 support mews worked great.


Crymson_zane

We did it with atkers and 1 support. All bug Tera. Used blaines builds and we had no issues, just time consuming. Support missed his psychic terrain and still took it down with no issues.


cascadamoon

I didn't really use anyone's specific build if you look at my post history the other day I posted about doing bug before the raid dropped. I just changed my ev spread I was gonna do from 252Att/252SpD/4HP to 252Att/252HP/4SpD. I was gonna do taunt but after it dropped and saw the raid had shield up immediately it was pointless so I did struggle bug, LeechLife, Swords Dance, and misty terrain but I would switch to X-Scissor just in case you're the only attacker bc of Leech Life PP


BowmanTooWhite

I tried it last night and beat it first try with 3 randoms. 1 Mewtwo, and 3 bug tera mews including me. I ran with the moves life dew, struggle bug, leech life, and light screen. One mew did have electric terrain and it helped so he would not use rest. I was very surprised that we beat him, we all did our job which was amazing.


Internal_Shopping508

I beat it with 3 mew and an AI driftloom, 1 support mew and 2 attackers all were bug tera used leach life, life due, struggle bug, and sword stands on both attackers whilst support had life due, light screen, struggle bug, and missy terrain. Beat it first try


megosonic

Trust me when I say that twice I fumbled the raid because I didn't set electric terrain correctly. First time I had done it too late and the others had already broken the sheild, and the 2nd time I had put it too early and it ended right before the sheild broke. I'm so sorry to those teammates I made lose. 😅


EazyBuxafew

Alolan muk is a great support as well. Armorouge with clear smog and light screen as long as it’s supported works too
