User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Day: Silver Rathalos and Gold Rathian/@comment-94.2.2.222-20120408152631

I have slain every varient of these wyverns at Hi-rank. There is a definate gap between the Azure rathlos and the Silver Rathlos. Ive noticed the silver prefers to remain airborne more often, while the Azure charges around a lot more than normal. The rathian also uses its signature poison move at gold a lot more often, though I usualy fight the rathlos and am not as well versed against the gold.

While they can be beaten using a decent Raw GS/LS, I would reccomend Either the Kirin King Thundersword or the Khezu Shock Blade. For LS I would use the Hi-rank Devil Slicer, the name of which currently eludes me. I used my Killers Scythe the first time around against the silver. Then switched to the King Thundersword once I had the materials. A dragon blade will work well with the Pink Rathian, but thunder is usualy preffered.

For armour anything with a High Defense, and fire resistance. I use my Lo-Rank Tigrex armour out of habbit (64 def per peice, I like phsycic vis for conveinience). Attack Up or Reckless abandon would work well with this monster.
