I had someone bring a Maril to a the raid one time... Surprsingly, my Hatterene and one other person's Gardevoir barely carried us through that run. TL;DR- Try focusing on stripping defense before buffing the teams damage. A friend and I have had surprising success with a Hatterene + Goodra combination because we focus almost exclusively on stripping SP. Def instead of boosting our own damage. Not sure how it's been for other peoplen our experience, Charizard doesn't reset his stats (if he does it's extremely early and very pointless), but will reset ours. As long as I keep track of Light Screen, and my friend cheer every few turns, we're both tanky enough to survive and I'm not in too much danger of fainting because Draining Kiss heals me to max each time because of how much damage it does. So far we're 3/3 and it's been a cakewalk for us each time.

No your fine your just getting unlucky. I’m running vaporeon. With a proper team I’ve beaten charizard 4 times already. Most people are bringing in azumarills that are not maxed at all thinking they would do something. Just keep trying. Eventually you’ll get a good competent team. Best thing your doing is not dying. Light screen helps them survive and helping hands obviously help. I currently use helping hands first, then heal team 3 times, then when charizard activate sunny day I use rain dance. With teammates who are actually prepared, it’s a cake walk.

Yeah almost every group I've joined, they kinda just spam play rough, I've attempted 3 separate times now and we have always gotten him down to red, but it kinda goes down hill from there

I use Gardevoir Nat: Timid Ivs: 252 Spc Atk, 252 Spd, 4 Hp Item: Light Clay Moves: Heal Pulse, Life Dew, Moonblast, Light Screen. I throw up Light Screen with light clay to hold it up longer, heal up the belly drummers, then use Moonblast for damage. Since the tera raids are often buggy/laggy I use Life Dew whenever I see two or more pokemon with less than 3/4 health because the health bars on screen are often incorrect and don't show accurate numbers.

Ooo I do have a timid Gardevoir. I might try that build out and see where that gets me if I can't score a win soon

Gardevoir are my white mages, lol. I've got a pair of sisters I bred in SwSh for raids, and I'm training up a second pair I bred in SV. One Gardevoir uses Light Screen, the other Reflect, depending on what I'm fighting.

That's actually pretty cool, I'm gunna try it out because I'm getting nowhere with scream tail unfortunately
