Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

I don't like the offensive set for online raids. Support is much better and can help your hard hitters survive...
It's not a very accessible Pokemon, but Calyrex-Ice-Rider completely dominates Venusaur.

It'll be funny as heck if Venusaur opts for Energy Ball as its Grass STAB, making Chesnaught immune to 3 of its attacks lol.
Spiky Shield will be a good option for the turns Venusaur nulls its ability. Updated my set to include it:
:chesnaught:
Chesnaught @ Shell Bell
Ability: Bulletproof...
I wouldn’t count on Pelipper. It’ll set Rain before Venusaur sets Sun, meaning the latter will win the weather battle and then smack Pelipper hard with strong Grass or Poison STAB. Manual rain will be a better answer to any Sun strategies.
Chesnaught has potential, in my opinion. It resists...
As part of a triple event with the KANTOOOOOO starters, we’re starting off with Tera Ground Venusaur. It’ll have Chlorophyll and will likely use Sunny Day + Growth alongside it.
Tera Steel Blastoise will have Rain Dish as an ability, but not really sure what it’ll do. Shell Smash maybe?

The Stonjourner raids will be fun while using this lol

Trace Power Spot, Helping Hand a strong SpA mon, should ideally OHKO
I'd say Grumpig is your best bet for a mon with these traits:

I've said this earlier in the thread, but Simple Beam Grumpig is...
Because I'm greedy and want a crit + 20% extra damage. It hasn't really impacted the raids much either way when other strong Fighting-types are hammering away at it anyway.
But yes you're right.
Been running this set online, but with Black Belt and Focus Energy instead of Fake Out. Thick Fat Hariyama is strictly better than Iron Hands despite not being as strong, thanks to Thick Fat greatly improving survivability. Focus Energy is also nice to bypass the Iron Defense boost 50% of the...
Been running a pure support Grumpig for comps with Special Attackers in them, and it goes so hard:

Jirachi is probably the best solo mon for this. Just beat it with a little more than half time remaining.
