A Skeledirge used for Raids, uses its Personal Special Move [Torch Song] and raises its SP. ATK while attacking. It is a Fire type Special Attacker. By using its Hidden Ability Unaware it can ignore its opponent's Status and be stable throughout battle.

Use Against Raids That Are Weak Against Fire Type

Grass	Bug	Steel

Since Torch Song is a Fire type move, you want to bring to Raids that are weak against Fire types. Even against Ice types, it is not as strong as Fighting types, but it is very effective.

How To Train For Raids

How To Reroll/Train Skeledirge

1. Breed Fuecoco or Trade to get it

You can not get Fuecoc in the Wild which is the pre-evolve of Skeledirge. If you have chosen Fuecoco as your Starter Pokemon, you may breed, but if you have not, you need to trade with someone on the Trading Board.

If You Want To Save Money, You Would Want To Capture By Reroll

Once you have a Skeledirge set up, you would want to use items to increase its Effort Values. With each item, you will need to use money, so if you want to save a little bit of money, you would want to do some reroll till you get what you need.

▶Best Breeding Guide
2. Use Ability Patch and change ability to Unaware

Item	Effect / How To Get
Ability Capsule	It can change your Ability to a special one (Hidden Ability) ★6 Raid Reward

When you use the Ability Patch, you can change your Ability to the Hidden Ability Unaware. If you do not have the Ability Patch, you can get it as a reward in a 6 Star Raid. If you get a Hidden Ability Fuecoco from an exchange you do not need this item.

3. Use Mints and change Nature to Modest

Item	Effect / How To Get
Modest Mint	・Change the Nature to Modest ・Nature itself remains the same Purchase at the Chansey Supply Shop for $ 20,000

You can change the Nature to Adamant using the corresponding Mint for it. If you do not have one, get it from the Chansey Supply Shop in Mesagoza or other areas for $ 20,000. If the original Nature is Modest, there is no need to use Mints.

4. Increase Effort Value

HP	SP. ATK	SPD
252	252	6

To strengthen Skeledirge's Attacker Power, you would wanto distribute 252 to its SP. ATK, and to have DEF as well so it is recommended to distribute 252 to HP. The left over 6 you can use on SPD (The Stats does not change after distributing 4, so 4 is also OK)

If You Have Money To Spare, Buy Items and Strengthen Quickly

HP	HP Up ×25 Health Feather ×2
SP. ATK	Calcium ×25 Genius Feather ×2
SPD	Swift Feather ×6

If you have money to spare, you can buy a lot of items to increase your EV in a very fast speed. But each one does cost $ 10000 and for each stats you need 26, and so in total you would need about 50 ($ 500000).

If You Want To Save Money, Battle Wild Pokemon

Power Items (Increase Effort Value by +8)
HP	SP. ATK
Power Weight	Power Lens

By capturing or defeating Wild Pokemon, you can earn 1 to 3 Effort Value for each of them. If you give a Pokemon a Power Item, you can increase the amount of Effort Value it gets by 8. Power Items costs only $ 10,000, so they are recommended for those who want to save money.

Teach Them The Ideal Moves

Mostly you will use Torch Song consecutively so this is a move you want for sure. Will-O-Wisp is very strong against Physical Attackers, so you want to use it on your first turn. The other 2 slots are free so you may want to use healing moves like Slack Off, or another type of Attacking move.

1. Prepare a Lv 33 or higher Slowpoke

Where To Find	Precise Location

For Skeledirge to inherit Slack Off, you need to prepare a Lv 33 or higher Slowpoke. If you do not have 1, you can capture it at Casseroya Lake.

If It Does Not Know Slack Off, You Can Make It Remember



If the Slowpoke that you have prepared has not learned Slack Off, you would need it to learn it again. Pick your Slowpoke add to your Party, open up [Check Summary] and press the A Button and you can make it remember the move.

2. Purchase a Mirror Herb from Cascarrafa (Cost: $ 30000)

Map	Purchase Screen

※★ is the Location of Delibird Presents

Mirror Herb can be bought at Cascarrafa's Delibird Presents for $ 30000. You can buy it from the beginning of the game. You can use it many items because it will not disappear so you only need 1.

3. Make Skeledirge hold it, and Forget a move and open a slot


Once you purchase a Mirror Herb, make Skeledirge hold it. Also do not forget to [Forget a Move] so you have an empty slot.

4. Put both into a Picnic and Wait


Once you have your Pokemon ready, you want to add Skeledirge and Slowpoke into your party and start a picnic. You want to start a picnic outside of town and away from NPC players. You can choose a place and press the X Button to start. The picnic can be just a minute, the inherit will be quick, so you do not have to wait long.

5. Inherit Complete! Close up your Picnic and check your Pokemon


Once you close up the Picnic, the inherit is completed and Skeledirge has learned Slack Off. Check your summary and make sure that it has inherited the move.

How To Use For Raids

1. Make it hold Metronome

Item	Effect
Metronome	When holding it, when you use the same move consecutively, you power increases by 20% (Max to 100%). When you use a different move, it will reset.

You will not use other moves than Torch Song, so your item Metronome is recommended than the Choice Specs because it is more powerful.

Other Options Are Throat Spray

When you give it Throat Spray, when you use Torch Song, it will raise your SP. ATK by 1 level. It is weaker than the Metronome, but it is an advantage that you can use any moves at any time. This way you can adjust to your opponent's moves.

2. If your opponent is a Physical Attacker, Use Will-O-Wisp on first turn

If the opponent's Pokemon is a Physical Attacker, you want to burn them with Will-O-Wisp and weaken their attack moves. On each turn they will be burned and take damage, so you want to use this Move on your first turn.

3. Then consecutively use Torch Song

Consecutively use Torch Song, and attack while raising your SP. ATK. During the process, your status up might be canceled but do not worry and keep attacking with Torch Song.
