Loch Bygone Raid Battle 1: Vs. Piloswine!
Max Raid Boss Piloswine ★★★ Health Gauge: 100% Shields Up: 0 Status: None Raid Challengers Sneaze (Machop): 300 HP lilboocorsola (Lapras): 500 HP Maskerade (Meditite): 300 HP Slash (Cloyster): 300 HP As the raiders approach the Power Spot, the bewildered Piloswine takes notice of them through its hair, and after a moment or two of brief fretting over the location of its children, it gives a bellowing cry and stomps the ground. As the earth trembles, a spark and twinkle of Dynamax energy emanates from Jess's Dynamax Band. Dynamax Initiative: lilboocorsola, Lapras

"Looks like this place has seen better days."
Jess peered down into the parched well, dry and bare as a bone. According to legend, the lake of Loch Bygone had once been a thriving bed of aquatic life and human civilization harmonizing together, but now boasted nothing but toneless mud and dirt, drained of all its former color and glory. Yet, nature still found a way to survive. Where waters parted, the once marine wildlife were instead supplanted by creatures of the earth, crawling through crust to reclaim the land for themselves by burrowing deep into the rich, soft soil, making a welcome home out of such humble offerings. Returning to dust. With the wet season approaching, the mire also served as a breeding ground for prospective mates, giving birth to new life and affording mothers plenty shelter to raise and protect their young. Perhaps then it was the energy of encroaching spring that had caused a recently discovered Power Spot to suddenly erupt, forcing one poor porcine parent to swell to enormous size. The newly appointed gym leader of the region had immediately sounded the alarm, requesting the aid of any nearby trainers to assist in pacifying the pig. Jess had just arrived back triumphant but tired from two other successful raids (one where the location had sadly shut down altogether following victory, whereas the other’s environment itself had nearly threatened to destroy them more than the opponent) when she nevertheless heeded the summon. Gazing down into the giant sandpit, she saw the titan tottering to one side as its tiny offspring fled to the other end of trench, squealing in fear and confusion. The Piloswine was clearly perplexed as well, unable to grasp or get a handle on its own bulk as it pursued its precious litter in desperation. Realizing the danger they were all in, Jess forewent any sense of fussiness or fatigue and slid down the slimy slope to the bottom, ready to get her hands dirty if she had to in order to prevent irreparable harm from coming to any party. Joining three other brave boys at the bottom of the crater, they stood between the rampaging beast and its terrified brood. Perceiving the intruders as a threat rather than a boon, the Piloswine bellowed in rage and stamped its feet, prepared to put up a fight. Jess swallowed, sensing they’d have to wear it down first before they could get it to calm, lest it accidentally squash the Swinub swarm instead. Turning to the panicked piglets, she was reminded of a previous similar situation where she had to fend off a hoard of them, but this time her priority was in making sure these little ones stayed safe. “Don’t worry, we’ll get your mum back to normal, I promise.” (Or was it dad? Hard to tell with all the hair.) “Just say behind us for now.” She wasn’t sure whether she should ask them to keep their eyes closed – seeing as they already seemed to be – but hoped they would understand enough to trust these people were here to help and didn’t mean any ill intent. With that, she pulled out a Poké Ball and released her companion she was most sure was capable of soothing any critter. The Lapras crooned as she emerged, switching to a cry of surprise as she felt her flippers sink into the sticky swamp. She blinked in bemusement, unused to such an uneven and yielding terrain that neither let her slide nor swim. The image was admittedly a somewhat amusing one, like the Loch Ness monster being beached without her namesake, naked and exposed for all to bear witness. Jess merely shrugged apologetically in response. “Sorry Tess, I know it’s a bit uncomfortable, but we’ll have to make do.” Tessie hummed a slightly reluctant tune, but regardless her song was set in motion. Simultaneously, the notes seemed to resonate with the metal bracelet wrapped around her trainer’s wrist as it flashed and sparkled with a mystical magenta glow. The girl gasped and stared dumbfounded at the gleaming band, before registering it was infused with Dynamax aura from the same surrounding Power Spot – the first time she had been blessed with the signal. A surge of excitement rose within her as she couldn’t help but feel thrilled at the prospect of finally unleashing their full combined strength. “All right, Tess, let’s make the most of this opportunity,” she grinned as she raised the bracer to the air, recalling her partner temporarily before tossing the enlarging container as high up as she could, sphere shifting from the size of a globe to a boulder within seconds. Electricity crackled from her bangle as from the stormy orb burst forth a truly majestic and monstrous being, matching their adversary’s mass equally (and conveniently blocking the view of the squirming Swinub, providing a complete cover shield with her colossal shell). “Let’s start things off strong with a MAX GEYSER off HYDRO PUMP (110 BP)!” (Boosted by Sea Incense)

Slash approaches the battlefield, ball in hand. He couldn't deny he was nervous; he had never seen this new "Dynamax" thing before, but he'd heard nightmarish tales of Pokemon assuming massive sizes and abilities. He tried to push back the lump in his throat, though. He did a once-over on his allies, two other guys and a girl, who all seemed much more prepared for this.They'd probably all done this before.
The icy swine in the center of the field caught his eye. It seemed to have noticed him and his compatriots as well. After a brief burst of hyperactive activity, it seemed to steel itself,letting out a loud, deep cry and stomping, asserting it's territory. Slash felt a shaking in the ground, and a strange glint shone on a band the Leader bore. Somehow, without ever seeing it before, he knew it was the weird energy associated with the strange art of Dynamax. "Well, girl," he says to his Pokeball, pushing the little button to enlarge it to full size with a small whoop sound, "I suppose it's time to see what this is all about." He tosses his ball lightly, which hits the ground and opens, erupting with a flash of light. The light shapes and forms into his inexperienced Cloyster, clearly as wary as he is. He laughs nervously, "how's this for a battle debut, huh, girl? Don't worry, I know you'll make me proud no matter what," he says as he pats her hard shell. She gathers herself, hoping she's ready for what's coming next. "It's time to throw down, girl!" He shouts. "Let her have a taste of your Whirlpool" (BP 35) |

Max Raid Boss Piloswine ★★★ Health Gauge: 73% Shields Up: 3 Status: Sandstorm (4 turns left), Whirlpool (4 turns left) Raid Boss Attack Summary Attack 1: Avalanche (120 BP) Slash, Cloyster: 165 HP Attack 2: Max Rockfall (130 BP) lilboocorsola, Lapras: 505 HP Raid Challengers Sneaze (Machop): 282 HP lilboocorsola (Lapras): 474 HP [Dynamaxed: 2 Turns Left] Maskerade (Meditite): 282 HP Slash (Cloyster): 147 HP With the power of the Dynamax energy, Jess unleashes Tess into the field once more and the Lapras undergoes a tremendous growth, matching the Piloswine in size before unleashing a devastating deluge of water into the hog. The follow up assaults only serve to infuriate the boar as it bellows, bringing up a triplicate of shields to defend itself with, before using the prior assault to its benefit, burying the Cloyster under a mound of ice and snow before dropping a great boulder onto the Dynamaxed opponent, dispelling the torrential rain with a fierce sandstorm that whipped throughout the field of battle, the stinging debris hurting all but the raid pokemon. The Piloswine snorted, it had been taken by surprise and would take the trainers as more of a threat. Dynamax Initiative: lilboocorsola, Lapras

Max Raid Boss Piloswine ★★★ Health Gauge: 59% Shields Up: 0 Status: Sandstorm(3 turns left), Whirlpool (3 turns left) Trainer Recovery Summary Maskerade, Meditite: Drain Punch Maskerade, Meditite: 300 HP Trainer Damage Summary Slash, Cloyster: Surf (90 BP) Sneaze, Machop: 192 HP lilboocorsola, Lapras: 407 HP Maskerade, Meditite: 210 HP Raid Boss Attack Summary Attack 1: Max Darkness (110 BP) Slash, Cloyster: 37 HP Attack 2: Earth Power (90 BP) lilboocorsola, Lapras: 259 HP Raid Challengers Sneaze (Machop): 174 HP (Sp. Def -1) lilboocorsola (Lapras): 228 HP (Sp. Def -1) [Dynamaxed: 1 Turn Left] Maskerade (Meditite): 192 HP (Sp. Def -1) Slash (Cloyster): 19 HP (Sp. Def -1) With a fierce blast of water and a swift strike, the Piloswine's shields shatter leaving the raid boss open to retaliation, which comes swiftly from the Meditite. The Cloyster's follow up Surf swamps over the battlefield, and the gym leader can only wince as the Bivalve pokemon's allies cry out as the water washes over them, causing considerable damage to all. Not impressed with this, the raid boss unleashes a great wave of darkness upon the Cloyster before striking the weakened dynamaxed Lapras with a fearsome Earth Power, leaving her worse for wear. The raging sandstorm then bites into the raiders, the Cloyster hanging on by a thread, while the whirling waters around the raid boss give the big pig more discomfort. The spectating gym leader gives a shake of his head, giving Slash a reminder to be wary of spread moves. Dynamax Initiative: lilboocorsola, Lapras

Max Raid Boss Piloswine ★★★ Health Gauge: 42% Shields Up: 1 Status: Sp. Def +1, Rain(4 turns left), Whirlpool (2 turns left) Trainer Recovery Summary Maskerade, Meditite: Drain Punch Maskerade, Meditite: 193 HP Raid Boss Attack Summary Attack 1: Stone Edge (100 BP) Sneaze, Machop: 99 HP Attack 2: Max Quake (130 BP) Sneaze, Machop: 0 HP Raid Challengers Sneaze (Machop): 0 HP (Must wait out 1 Round to recover) lilboocorsola (Lapras): 162 HP (Sp. Def -1) Maskerade (Meditite): 193 HP (Sp. Def -1) Slash (Cloyster): 19 HP (Sp. Def -1) The battle seemed to be going well for the raiders as the Cloyster and Dynamax Lapras's assaults brought the Piloswine to bring up a desperate second set of shields, only for them to be pulverized down to one barrier by the two fighting types. Frustrated, the Piloswine bellows out in anger before digging its massive tusks into the soil and striking the Machop with a powerful Stone Edge before burying the same pokemon with a devastating Max Quake that amplified its special resistance. As the dust settles Machop lays there with spirals in his eyes, down for the count. However, the pouring rain dispels the swirling sand as the raid boss seems a little uneasy, even as the Lapras shrinks back down to her normal size. Dynamax Initiative: Expired.

Max Raid Boss Piloswine ★★★ Health Gauge: 40% Shields Up: 0 Status: Sp. Def +1, Rain(3 turns left), Whirlpool (1 turn left) Trainer Recovery Summary Sneaze, Machop: Cheer (0 BP) Slash, Cloyster: 169 HP lilboocorsola, Lapras: Life Dew (0 BP) lilboocorsola, Lapras: 287 HP Maskerade, Meditite: 268 HP Slash, Cloyster: 244 HP Raid Boss Attack Summary Attack 1: Ice Beam (90 BP) Maskerade, Meditite: 120 HP Attack 2: Max Strike (150 BP) lilboocorsola, Lapras: 137 HP Raid Challengers Sneaze (Machop): 300 HP (Fully Recovered) lilboocorsola (Lapras): 137 HP (Sp. Def -1) Maskerade (Meditite): 120 HP (Sp. Def -1) Slash (Cloyster): 244 HP (Sp. Def -1) Pushed to the defensive, the raiders take a moment to hold their ground as the efforts of the Lapras buy them some much needed time. As the Machop's trainer cheers the group on with words of encouragement, the Cloyster seems greatly invigorated, and the healing water from the Lapras serves to replenish the raider's vitality, and the Bivalve pokemon responds in kind by shattering the Piloswine's last defensive barrier. Aggravated, the boar blasts the stunned Meditite with a chilling Ice Beam before delivering a savage Max Strike to the Lapras, inflicting a severe dent in her health as the whirlpool the raid boss is trapped in begins to waver and weaken, but chipping away at its health slowly but surely. At th end of the round, the dynamax energy flows into Machop and he springs back to his feet, fully replenished and ready to return to the fight. Dynamax Initiative: Expired.

Max Raid Boss Piloswine ★★★ Health Gauge: 19% Shields Up: 0 Status: Attack +1, Sp. Def +1, Rain(2 turns left) Raid Boss Attack Summary Attack 1: Icy Wind (55 BP) Sneaze, Machop: 218 HP lilboocorsola, Lapras: 76 HP Maskerade, Meditite: 38 HP Slash, Cloyster: 183 HP Attack 2: Max Knuckle (95 BP) Maskerade, Meditite: 0 HP Raid Challengers Sneaze (Machop): 218 HP lilboocorsola (Lapras): 76 HP (Sp. Def -1) Maskerade (Meditite): 0 HP (DISQUALIFIED) Slash (Cloyster): 183 HP (Sp. Def -1) As the assaults continue, the Piloswine's desperate attacks amplify, as it blows a chilling blast of icy wind that washes over the battlers with gale force strength, before the raid boss stomps the ground and summons a massive meteoric fist from the skies that hurtles straight for the inactive Meditite! Unable to move, the force of the impact sends it and its trainer flying clean out of Loch Bygone and into the sky, and a second later a twinkle flashes as the two are launched clean out of the battle! The Piloswine is slightly comforted as the whirlpool finally dissipates, but shudders somewhat, the exhaustion and force to remove one troublemaker seemingly impacting it. With its guard down, it seems like a few hard knocks should put the pig on ice. Dynamax Initiative: Expired.
