Those who have been playing Pok\u00e9mon Sword & Shield<\/a><\/em> since release probably consider themselves old hands at Max Raid Battles. They\u2019ve nabbed all the best Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon,<\/a> acquired the most-wanted Hidden Abilities, picked up the TRs<\/a>\u00a0they wanted and\u2026 well, probably failed far too many raids on account of that silly NPC with their useless Magikarp.<\/p>\n

When the Crown Tundra expansion arrived, though, it added a real curveball that completely changed the way Max Raids play out. Max Lair Raids or Dynamax Adventures are an entirely different beast, not to be underestimated. If you\u2019re just getting started venturing into these dens, here are some important things to bear in mind.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Firstly, Know What You\u2019re Getting Yourself Into<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Max Raids in the main game aren\u2019t that daunting a prospect. Everyone in the party can see which enormous Pok\u00e9mon they\u2019re about to face, after all, and can simply choose the super-strong Galar critter<\/a> from their boxes that\u2019s best equipped to deal with it.<\/p>\n

This is not the case with Max Lair Raids. Endurance is the name of the game, as four separate Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> are faced one after the other. The final one will be a Legendary Pokemon, the primary aim of the raid and the most difficult fight in most cases. When Endless Dynamax Adventure mode is unlocked, the true meaning of \u2018endurance\u2019 is revealed! Those limited \u2018lives\u2019 you have for a standard Max Raid? You have the same number, but they don\u2019t regenerate and your team must last all four battles. Good luck!<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Accept That You Won\u2019t Be Using Your Own Pok\u00e9mon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

That fact alone already cranks up the difficulty by several notches (at least three of them), but there\u2019s more. Battlers may think that they\u2019ll be fine with their competitive powerhouses, fully EV\u2019d<\/a> with perfect IVs at level 100, but here\u2019s the thing about that: players’\u00a0own Pok\u00e9mon aren\u2019t eligible at all.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of a Max Lair Raid run, each participant will choose a Pok\u00e9mon from a randomized, limited pool to borrow for that run. It might have just the right moveset for the challenges ahead, or, more likely, it may absolutely not. There are four Pokemon the size of the Chrysler Building ahead, and there\u2019s really no saying which critter they\u2019ll be forced to face them with. Better get used to it.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Identify Which Pokemon The Silhouettes Are<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Veterans of the classic Who\u2019s That Pok\u00e9mon game will be glad to see that their skills will come in handy here too. Max Lair Raids are very open-ended, allowing the team to vote on which route they take to that final encounter with the Dynamax Legendary Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

RELATED: \u00a0Pok\u00e9mon: 10 Pok\u00e9mon That Should Be Legendary But Aren\u2019t<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Opposing Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon are shown on the map, albeit as faint silhouettes in a cloud of energy. Their primary typing is revealed, but to know more about them and inform your choice, you\u2019ll need to be able to make out exactly which species you\u2019re looking at.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Plan Ahead And Play To Your Strengths<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

How to decide which route to take to that final encounter? Well, if your team\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon have a lot of power Water-type attacks and there\u2019s a Fire Pok\u00e9mon in the first row, it\u2019ll be tempting to go straight for that option. Be careful, though, because there might be a Grass-type or two waiting on that route to bring a swift end to your fun.<\/p>\n

Take a look at each path in full and plot the route that seems most manageable. This is especially important if your team has a lot of weaknesses (if you have multiples of the unfortunate Ice or Bug typing,<\/a> for instance).<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Incorporate NPCs And Items In Your Runs If You Can<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sadly, then, the player has no access to their own Pok\u00e9mon during a Dynamax Adventure. This is nice as a leveler when players of different experience levels are teaming up, but nobody can use their own held items or medicine either.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t to say that these things are completely inaccessible, though. As players plot out a\u00a0route, they\u00a0might notice an NPC or a pile of berries on the path between battles. These can be hugely helpful, depending on the team\u2019s status. The berry pile will heal the team\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon for a modest amount, while the Scientist offers a switch for another rental Pok\u00e9mon and the Backpacker offers the team a choice of a held item each. Some of those items are incredibly useful,<\/a> meaning that it can sometimes be worth taking on a less-than-favorable encounter for these chances.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Don\u2019t Be Afraid To Switch Pok\u00e9mon If It Could Offer An Advantage<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Speaking of the NPCs, there\u2019s something very important to note about the Scientist: they won\u2019t offer you a choice of Pok\u00e9mon to switch to. It\u2019s entirely randomized. You might get the perfect critter to finish off that run with, or you might entirely ruin your chances.<\/p>\n

With each Pok\u00e9mon caught, however, you can see exactly what they\u2019d add to your party if you chose to swap your active fighter for them. Some players are reluctant to make the switch if said Pok\u00e9mon had been performing well, but it\u2019s vital to weigh up the situation and the battles ahead and determine whether your line-up could be improved or not (and who should switch).<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Play With Friends<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As anyone who\u2019s suffered from NPCs\u2019 terrible Pok\u00e9mon and AI in single-player Max Raids will tell you, the mode is most definitely at its best with friends.<\/p>\n

Solo players are on a much more even keel here, thanks to the rental system, but they\u2019re still at the mercy of three AI allies and their random decisions. From awful move choices to ill-advised Pok\u00e9mon switches, they just can\u2019t be relied on. For a less frustrating time with Max Lair Raids, team up with like-minded friends whenever you can.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Try To Synergize Your Moves With Allies Where Possible<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Once you\u2019ve assembled your team of Pok\u00e9mon-hunting powerhouses, you might find that these battles are still tougher than you were expecting. After all, there\u2019s a strict limitation on the number of times an allied Pok\u00e9mon can faint.<\/p>\n

As such, strategies won\u2019t always boil down to simply choosing a super effective move each turn and whittling your Dynamax foes\u2019 HP down. Certain status moves<\/a> to heal allies (such as Life Dew) or to debuff the opponent (such as Snarl) can also be game-winners in protracted battles. Against the last tough Legendary, you may find that some team members focus on a supportive role while the others deal the brunt of the damage.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Remember That Peonia Can Allow You To \u2018Choose\u2019 Which Legendary Pok\u00e9mon You\u2019ll Face<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Naturally, the big draw of Max Lair Raids for many players is the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon that awaits at the end. They have 100% catch rates, so players are free to use any Pok\u00e9 Ball they like on them after winning the battle.<\/p>\n

Before long, however, the same few Legendaries will continue appearing, and they can only be caught during the first encounter. To acquire different ones, speak to Peonia inside the Max Lair. She\u2019ll mention having seen a certain Legendary in the lair and, for 5 Dynite Ore, she\u2019ll share their location with you. What this effectively means is that, on your next run, that specific Legendary will be the final encounter.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>If Friends Are Missing Certain Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, Peonie Can Help With That Too<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Crown Tundra DLC added a dizzying amount of new Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, so it\u2019s unlikely that Peonie\u2019s offerings will always match up perfectly with the ones that a team of four all need. Luckily, there\u2019s a further sneaky trick that can resolve this.<\/p>\n

Players have discovered that, on speaking to Peonie with a Legendary (that is available through Dynamax Adventures) in the first slot of their party, that\u2019s the one she\u2019ll always offer the location of. If a group of Raid partners co-ordinate their efforts, then, they\u2019ll soon have a full set!<\/p>\n
