CrimsonStigmata: How to Beat Articuno — 3 Poison Types. pokepath.io: Player CrimsonStigmata pushed poison to the absolute limit, defeating ARTICUNO with just three Pokémon. This poison-focused strategy is seriously incredible. (Note: This setup is for the boss only. Don’t use this team to auto-clear the entire 1-1, because it can’t handle invisible enemies or shielded enemies.)

Setting: Lv. 50 cap, 6 slots, permadeath. This is the team build before the boss wave. The core of this strategy is Clefable’s high single-target damage. Equip Clefairy Doll to quickly trigger healing, and let Excadrill apply the attack speed halving. Meanwhile, Clefable needs frequent item swapping: switch between Clefairy Doll and Shell Bell for sustain, swap to Star Canny to increase attack range, and swap to Silph Scope to deal with invisible enemies. Enemy strength ramps up from 75 to 99, so you’ll be microing Clefable a lot.

This build can control the boss really well. The key is to micro Clefable and the Clefable copy (from Ditto) so they can keep hitting the boss nonstop. In the end, how good it feels depends on how many stuns you proc. If you get unlucky, you might land very few stuns.

The build’s AOE damage comes from several sources: first, curse-based setups that apply Curse, which then synergize with Skeledirge’s ability to deal burn damage, alongside the burn damage from Mega Charizard X. On top of that, the cursed Pokémon’s own damage contributes as well, and Swalot adds steady poison damage. The main single-target DPS is Noivern, and this team can reliably clear Waves 1–99. Healing Pokémon can now detect invisible enemies when equipped with Silph Scope. Simply swap them in during waves with invisible enemies.

TYRIONV23:Slow and stun with Raichu and Corsola within the area of Maractus and Aggron, while Noivern and Ditto kill from afar. We use Pidgeot to see invisibles with the Silph Scope. Finally, we use Charizard to burn and Absol and Flygon to kill those that manage to pass.

In this build, Omastar is the core AOE damage dealer because the map layout here heavily favors its splash coverage, while Mega Absol and Clawitzer are the main single-target DPS. Luvdisc handles healing and HP recovery, and the team can reliably clear Waves 1-100,Starting at Wave 100, Ho-Oh’s mechanic is that if you break its 50,000 shield within 5 seconds of it reviving, you can kill Ho-Oh outright and prevent it from reviving again. With this build, when Ho-Oh is near death, Mega Absol can keep dealing sustained damage to break the shield. Because of that, killing Ho-Oh too early, while lacking enough damage to break the shield during the window, is actually not the optimal play.

Here’s a small tip for Shell Bell. Take this stage as an example: Lilligant’s damage ramps up very quickly. Once it goes over 50,000, swap to Shell Bell and you’ll instantly heal 1 HP, then quickly switch back to Choice Scarf. This effectively gives you a small, consistent heal every wave.

This part takes a bit of micro. The boss gradually speeds up, so you need to wait until it enters range before placing Corsola. After that, keep manually stacking poison with Ariados and reposition Shuckle as needed. For the exact execution, check the video.

The main damage dealers in this lineup are Clawitzer (extremely high single-target DPS), Cofagrigus (handles AOE damage), and Swalot (good against high-HP enemies). The core support for healing and stealth detection is Luvdisc. When you run into stealth enemies like Froslass, switch its item to Silph Scope. Its healing is crucial: paired with Heart Scale, it can reduce Clawitzer’s attack cooldown to 3 seconds. Some stages feature large numbers of Froslass and Glalie, and in those stages you basically have to tank the damage and rely on Luvdisc to heal you back to a safe HP level. Omastar was heavily nerfed in version 1.4 and its damage is now only average, so it can only serve as a secondary DPS.

I'd like to submit my shiny hunting strategy for 2-3, waves 25/26! It only utilizes five Pokémon: Smeargle, ditto, Comfey, shuckle and maractus but averages ~75% attacking/shiny farming uptime on Smeargle and ditto! It basically works by letting the tanky Magnezone bypass your defenses on Wave 25 which lowers your hearts down to two and activates maractus's Adrenaline Orb. With the increased attack speed maractus is able to barely clear out the remaining Cinccino and progress to Wave 26. The defenses won't be strong enough to clear Wave 26 which is exactly what we want and resets us to Wave 25. Both of these waves are extremely enemy dense so Smeargle and ditto never run out of targets to attack. Comfey ensures that we're maximizing our amount of attacks and shuckle provides that super nice 2x slow + extra damage for beating Wave 25. The only time Smeargle and ditto won't be attacking is at the start of each wave for about 5 seconds and for a brief moment at the end of Wave 25 when maractus is finishing off some Cinccino. Hope this strategy is interesting/useful for your guys late game shiny grind!
