Copperajah is the Steel elephant that has a bulldozer Gigantamax form. It takes hits well and has strong attacks alongside its Ability Sheer Force, which removes additional abilities on an attack to increase its damage. If any players haven’t spent a lot of time with this powerhouse, now may be the perfect time to change up the party.Experimenting with different types of Pokemon is crucialto finding the perfect balance in battles.
Players can add Copperajah to their list of max raid battles to take on for the next couple of weeks. During the month of August,SwordandShieldwill showcase Water and Ground Pokemonin raids. Gamers who still need a good Drednaw or Sandaconda with Gigantamax abilities can get their hands on them while their spawn rates are increased. Both of these Pokemon do well in competition, friendly battles, and the Isle of Armor DLC.
With Copperajah and some of these Water and Ground Pokemon, trainers might be better equipped to take on theTrial of Armor challenges without needing any exploitsto do so. It is unclear if the Crown Tundra DLC will also include any sort of challenge system but collecting these powerful Gigantamax Pokemon is sure to help trainers conquer anything that the addition has in store.
While players still have to wait for theCrown Tundra and whatever returning Pokemonit may bring, there is plenty in the base games and Isle of Armor DLC for them to stay busy training. Between competition, collection, and curry, these games continue to provide nearly endless hours of entertainment and adventure.
