jonathanxu999 0 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I'm trying to beat ditto Arceus at the moment. I can't seem to beat it. I looked at forums but they say it was easy to beat with a lucario, magnezone, or a gengar. However you can't get that until later in the game. What should I do? Link to post Share on other sites
VividGrey 40 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I took a different approach. Cincinno with the ability skill link, sing it to sleep and spam rock blast or tail slap. Tail slap gets the STAB boost as well as another boost if it's holding the silk scarf. Rock blast does extra damage thanks to the field. Cincinno is one of those mons that not a lot of people use because they think it's useless but it's actually surprisingly versatile. https://www.smogon.com/dex/sm/pokemon/cinccino/ Link to post Share on other sites
Seel The Deal 44 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 - Destiny Bond + Quick Claw - Perish Song + Prankster - 3x Bulldoze/Earthquake/Magnitude + Sturdy - Paralysis -> throw bodies at it until it dies - PP stall with Ghost (lures Shadow Ball) + Normal (lures Focus Blast + Judgement) - Toxic - Strong, fast/specially bulky EV trained attackers e.g. Noivern (Boomburst, Super Fang), A-Raichu (Psychic), Ampharos (Power Gem), Medicham (High Jump Kick, this should OHKO cleanly if you land it) These are all the ways I've either seen done or done myself, though there may be more. Tanking strats aren't really a thing because Judgement is field boosted super hard and it has perfect neutral coverage, but overpowering it is entirely possible with a well raised set of attackers near the level cap, and outsmarting it is doable in a number of ways.

The Shady Dealer 14 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Honestly I don't remembar needing a strategy to beat it, but if you have ANY kinda problem with a single pokemon then you just need to either badly poison it (toxic) or to paralyze it. BTW, I don't want to be an a**hole but you should probably try to balance your team (unless you're doing a challenge or smtn). If you can't beat Arceus you're going to have a hard time in future fights. Link to post Share on other sites
Serenity04 9 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Try a quick claw destiny bond Carvanha, soft reset until the claw pops. Link to post Share on other sites
Edo 153 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Your levels should be close enough to outspeed a paralyzed Arceus, so that would be the way with the least effort. Probably the easiest methods are to use the Prankster Murkrow with Perish Song, or three Sturdy mons with Bulldoze/magnitude/earthquake and collapse the field. Link to post Share on other sites
