Hisuian Typhlosion Raid Day Tips

Go for the Stardust!

Raid Day: Hisuian Typhlosion takes place during the Dazzling Dream Pokémon GO Event, which gives 2x Stardust for catching and hatching Pokémon, and activating a Star Piece seems like a pretty decent deal, regardless if you decide to by an event ticket. If you do, you are also getting 2x Stardust from Raid Battles, which just makes the deal sweeter. 

Don’t worry about exclusive moves, or anything meta-relevant

Judging by the quick analysis article written by our own Teban54, Hisuian Typhlosion has nothing to write home about as a Raid Attacker, which we think is a good thing for taking this event in a more casual manner.

You can spend the free Raid Passes and get yourself a couple of H-Typhlosion, or you can go all out and shiny hunt the entire event. The choice is yours, but be aware that in PvE, this Pokémon will not see much usage for a while.

Personally, we are planning to go for a couple of shiny Hisuian Typhlosion, and to get as much Stardust as we can with the free and paid Raid Passes for the day. Not the greatest deal for 5 USD.
