Starfall is built around reaching each Meloetta mechanic at a controlled point while preserving the Slowbro core for the final phase.
The opening sequence uses Lucky Chant, Trick, Fling, Gravity, Safeguard, Snarl, Quash, and Metal Sound to control the boss and its adds before transitioning through the heavy-damage phase.
The final half of the raid revolves around Slowbro, Reuniclus, Musharna, Jirachi, and Conkeldurr. Carefully tuned Speed and Special Defense values control the boss AI and Trick Room order.
⚠️
Core requirement
The exact party order, Speed tiers, and Special Defense ranges are part of the strategy. Small changes can alter targeting or turn order. Do not treat the listed spreads as general recommendations.
⚙️ Raid Mechanics and Important Rules
🧠
Slowbro AI Control
P1 Slowbro uses Oblivious to manipulate Chimecho's AI. The AI prioritizes attacking Slowbro because it believes Slowbro is easier to confuse.
🛡️
Safeguard
Safeguard makes Slowbro immune to confusion, invalidating the attack attempt while keeping the boss focused on that target.
P1 Slowbro must be faster than P2. P3 must be faster than P2 and slower than P4. P4 Reuniclus must be slower than all team Slowbro.
🐛
Scolipede IVs
Scolipede IVs do not need to be exactly 25, but the required positions must be 20 or higher. IVs marked x are not relevant.
🎯
Target tuning
P3 Slowbro is tuned to make Exploud attack it. P4 Slowbro is tuned so Meloetta prioritizes it. P4 Reuniclus must remain the slowest Pokémon in the Slowbro group.
✨
Jirachi EV precision
Jirachi should use only the stated 120 SpD EVs. Adding more EVs changes how the strategy functions.
⚔️
P4 Escavalier
P4 Escavalier can be Adamant. It only needs enough Speed to move faster than Meloetta under Trick Room. Target Speed is 88+.
👥 Team Builds and Manual Stats
