Boss Fight - Raikou (EN)

Introduction

Raikou is one of the three Legendary Beasts that were created by Ho-Oh after the burning of the Bronze Tower, and players can face it in PokeXGames' Boss Fight mode. It is a Eletric-type Legendary Beast, representing the lightning bolt that set the Bronze Tower ablaze.
This is weekly content, and you can only receive the reward once per week. After receiving the reward, if the player wants to participate more times, they can do so, but will not receive any rewards.

Important information

• The battle is played in groups of 4 players, who must be in the same Party.
  
• There are no clan bonuses during Boss Fights.
  
• The battles take place in the PokéView system, in which the player controls the Pokémon directly. The player becomes the Pokémon itself.
  
• Each player may use only one Pokémon. The chosen Pokémon must be out of its Poké Ball, and the battle cannot begin until all team members have released their chosen Pokémon. If a Pokémon is defeated, the player is considered defeated and will be removed from the battle, unable to return.
  
• It will not be possible to use potions, revives, medicine, or any type of consumable item in these battles.
  
• There will be no Experience or Bless penalty when defeated by bosses.
  
• You can use the Attachment Device as usual.
  
• All berries work normally, with the exception of Sitrus and Red Sitrus Berry. It is worth remembering that some statuses applied by bosses have the power to ignore the power of anti-status berries, such as Lum Berry.
  
• Berries must be given to the Pokémon before the challenge begins.
  
• Movement speed is crucial. Therefore, using the Salac Berry is very important. This berry increases the Pokémon's speed by 50 and has a limit of 300, meaning it cannot be used on Pokémon that already have a movement speed of 300 or more. For example, if a Pokémon has 260, it will go to 300 instead of 310.
  
• Cook's food has a 2x effect in this Dungeon.

Location

The Legendary Beasts are located in Outland. Raikou is located in Outland South, at the end of Electric Outland, which is to the left of the Pokémon Center.
Whenever Raikou is dominating the Outland, the entire biome of the location will indicate that it is possible to face it, with lightning and electricity everywhere.

Upon arriving at the indicated location, you will find the NPC Theo, who will sell you a Raikou Charm, an item necessary to start the Boss Fight.
Each Raikou Charm costs 10K.

Effectiveness

Raikou is an Electric-type Pokémon and is weak only to Ground.
Therefore, it is best to use a Tank and Over Time Damage Dealer of the Ground element.

Note: It is also possible to use tanks of other elements that receive Very Ineffective damage from the Electric element.

Difficulties

Players can engage in Boss Fights at three difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard.

Easy: Requires at least level 200; recommended for level 250 or higher, and has a level cap of 350 (players above level 350 will have strength similar to that of a level 350).
Players must leave Raikou's life at 65% to complete the challenge.
To access this difficulty, the player must have 1 Raikou Charm.

Normal: Requires at least level 300; recommended for level 350 or higher, and has a level cap of 450 (players above level 450 will have strength similar to that of a level 450).
Players must leave Raikou's life at 50% to complete the challenge.
To access this difficulty, the player must have 3 Raikou Charm.

Hard: Requires at least level 400; recommended for level 500 or higher, and does not have a level cap of 600.
Players must leave Raikou's life at 10% to complete the challenge.
To access this difficulty, the player must have 6 Raikou Charm.

Note: The Normal and Hard difficulties feature the Held Enhancement system, which will be explained and defined below.

Held Enhancement

This system grants very important bonuses to players who are using certain Held categories.
The system is based on the Held Item X equipped on the Pokémon the player is using. If the player is using a Pokémon with the Held Item X determined by the difficulty, they will receive the equivalent bonuses.

Normal: If the player is using Tier 6 Held, they will deal 35% more damage and receive 35% less damage from enemies. These values are increased to 37% if the player is using Tier 7 Held and to 39% if the player is using Tier 8 Held.

Hard: If the player is using Tier 7 Held, they will deal 35% more damage and receive 35% less damage from enemies. These values are increased to 37% if the player has Tier 8 Held.

Notes:

• This system is only valid for Held items equipped directly in slot X of the Pokémon chosen for battle, i.e., it does not apply to Held items equipped in slot Y or in the Device.
• The bonus from the Held Enhancement system is cumulative, meaning that if a player is using the X-Attack or X-Defense held, they will receive both the bonus from the system and the bonus from the held.
