Raid guide
How the fight goes and what to bring.
Do not bring Fire, Ice, Steel damage — Clamperl resists it and your lobby will run out of time before it runs out of HP. Everything in the counter list above already hits for super effective damage, so pick the six highest entries you actually own and power up.
On the catch screen, use Golden Razz Berries and aim for Excellent curveball throws.
