[@mejustin5152]

it's not really that known, but the way that it works is the raids that it shows are for the pokemon, not actually one specific raid that is being hosted at that moment. so when you press it, it's going to search for a lobby that is open with that exact pokemon. it can take some time, but if it doesn't let you in the first time, you can keep pressing that raid until it finally finds an open lobby with that pokemon

[@pctwood65]

@@mejustin5152 It actually upsets me to know this, because now I have to ask why we’re limited to 8 options? Why do we have to wait so long for a refresh if that’s the case? Why can’t we just search for a Pokémon and be put into a random Tera type raid for it? It’s like they designed this to be purposely frustrating. Smh

[@danastarr1819]

Everything I hate about Tera Raids: -Timer continues to tick during animations (especially the horrendous animation that is Terastalizing and even half the time, that won't even fully work so it's just a still shot of the back of your Pokemon) -Opposing Pokemon WILL interrupt your actions for its animations and attacks -Tera Raids literally punish you for going down. The timer will reduce by a huge amount and you still have to wait for the rest of the seconds to count down (this is apparently a """PENALTY""") -Sleep is for some reason allowed, causing multiple turns to go to waste because everyone but the opposing Pokemon is SLEEPING -The opposing Pokemon can neutralize your good stats making cheers and stat boosting moves sometimes useless -You don't always get the right items from the raids (you're lucky to even get one bottle cap) -Sometimes, you can OHKO the opposing Pokemon but it will regain health just to put up its shield, wasting yet more time -Everything is constantly lagging, causing the health bars of Pokemon to look like they're unaffected by moves but they're just delayed, even offline this happens (this especially sucks for healing because most of the time when I notice everyone's health is getting low, I'll do the heal cheer and they end up dying anyways without being properly healed) -Shields are just gimmicks to prolong the battle, not make things harder or interesting There are more that I can probably list but this is longer than it needs to be.

[@JoshArtisto]

All of that, in addition to before even doing the raid, it takes FOREVER to join a raid online if you don't have friends to play with.

[@erk8520]

Played raids for about 200+ hours now. Here's some extra glitches/annoyances that happened to me: - The menu can glitch out and freeze. You won't be able to click on anything (not even escape) until the mon activates it's "You're running out of time" warning. At this point, you lost and wasted a ton of time just waiting for the clock to run out.... - Again with the menu: while trying to attack I was interrupted by the opponent (as usual) and make my menu disappear, but when my menu reappeared again ANOTHER MENU was overlapping my old menu (Looked like the BDSP menu glitch lmao). This caused me to freeze and was unable to exit the 2nd menu, making me lose the battle again... - Status effects are completely useless as the Pokemon can just remove said effect AS SOON AS ITS APPLIED (not even by its "remove negative effects" thingy). However they can spam Yawn a billion times, just stalling. - Minus Health effects and Healing are janky in raids. If you are facing against a Pokemon who uses Belly Drum, it will only lose a pinch of HP, then sweep your team. The same goes for Pokemon who uses Recoil moves as they take about 0.01% of its health. To make matters worse, If you are fighting someone with Roost/Recover/etc., you better hope you have taunt or else it becomes unwinnable. - Online lol. Don't get me started on this mess and UX nightmare.

Tera Raids are fine, but they are so bugged. Health bars won’t update when they should, Raid Pokémon will randomly heal for no reason, there will be long periods of time where you are stuck with no Pokémon moving but the timer is still ticking down, models will freeze or turn invisible for no reason, and more. They are so bugged and they need to perform so much better than they do.

I'd rather have a small free DLC addition or event in PLA to hold players over til Gen 9. I would have preferred a March 2023 or even a January 2023 release than a November 2022 release.

Finding the raids you want is one thing, but the raids themselves are also shit. Half of the time the enemy pokemon constantly interrupts me with stupid animations and shit. Like, I literally chose my move and am about to choose to attack the enemy mon, but NO, you gotta show that you have your shield up, that you reset my stat changes, and that you boosted your own stats, and then attacking once or twice before I can press the button I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PRESS MINUTES AGO Plus, most of the time I don't even get the Herba Mystica, which is the entire reason I do raids because I love shiny hunting in this game

[@574guy]

And then the fact that the clock gets drained whenever a player pokemon gets KO'd. Oh, you had a quarter of the timer left? Now there is only 10 seconds left.

[@Invisibool]

@@574guy I fail to see why this is such a point of complaint. It's a punishment for playing poorly

[@574guy]

@@Invisibool No, its an unnecessary punishment for an inevitability, especially in stronger raids. You can't actively dodge attacks without moves like Protect, and if you want to heal you have to forgo attacking (sometimes healing won't even matter because your pokemon will take too much damage anyways). ALSO, the amount of time ripped away from you scales by your pokemon's level, so bringing your perfectly setup level 100 is going to hurt you way more than an average level 70-90. In short, its just another middle finger to players.

[@Invisibool]

@574Studios You're able to heal, you can bring Pokemon with good defensive types to the raid. Sounds more like you need to learn to play better. You SHOULD be punished for playing badly

[@574guy]

@@Invisibool I've used online guides to set up good defensive pokemon, amd they were still wiped out multiple times. And again, healing isn't all that useful because the raid Pokemon can just overpower whatever amount you heal by. Have you never played past 5 star raids???

[@HungLikeTung]

You also forgot to mention one key thing: you wait 2 whole minutes per refresh to get 8 new raid postings, and of those 8 new postings you aren't even guaranteed to be able to get in simply because the game took too long to load you in, and someone else took the last spot, so now you have to wait until a whole new refresh to hopefully get the raid you're looking for again

[@getthegoons]

The worst part is it feels like a frustrated dungeon master stacking the deck against the party and patting himself on the back for providing a challenge. "Haha wow this raid sure is hard huh guys?" Yeah because he just one shots us. "Yeah, ha, you gotta kill him before he boosts." Well we could have, but he randomly became invincible when we started winning. "Well why didn't you tera?" We weren't able to, he got like 6 moves in a row before we got to do anything. "Sounds like you're just bad."

they absolutely suck. the delayed chat messages you have to click through WHILE THE TIMER TICKS DOWN is absolutely abhorrent. There should not be a timer that ticks down while other players decide what moves to choose or go through horrifically slow animations. The game would be a lot better without Tera Shields, and ESPECIALLY if instead of being timed, it worked on a shared life system like sword and shield (e.g. 6 lives between your team)

[@Acesilvergaming]

These raids are the one worse things I ever had the displeasure of experience. It's a god damned glitchy mess. 6 star pokemon are ridiculously busted even if you have a fully maxed EV IV trained pokemon.

[@angryaromatisse1801]

I miss Dynamax Raids ;-;

[@Yvs8962]

Honestly my least favorite thing about tera raids is that they made them so artificially challenging. Like its just some cracked out bot with 5 million HP that can attack you multiple times in a turn and puts up a shield that makes even super effective attacks do nothing, and you have to waste time boosting to kill it in a few hits but then it can just randomly get rid of all your boosts and reset you back to square one, and when its a mon with status moves they always spam it first turn and then the fight just becomes an RNG nightmare and between being punished by the lag, and animation times, then if you get a bad sequence of luck its just over. You lose and not even cuz you really did anything wrong. While playing through the game Tera Raids being tough can be kinda “haha fun :)” but there is ZERO reason why in the post-game I cant just bring a Lvl 100 EV Trained mon with perfect IVs and a type advantage and blow through it in 2 seconds. I want to be able to just seek the raids out, get the stuff, and go. You end up doing so many since its the only way you can get the stuff you need, and they very quickly just become boring and annoying. Why cant they at least just be quick??? Im trying to get a team together to fight competitive players, I dont need this stupid “Challenge”.

[@booleah6357]

The good news is if you can get just one Pokemon to beat raids fairly consistently you can snowball into others and open up more options for raids. Also I usually do battles with randos for multiple six star raids. It's painful sometimes and hella inconsistent but also a lot of fun when it works.

[@HennyGangBear]

Honestly I feel like they should held off on releasing this game until spring, not for Pokémon home but for the bugs and quality of life features. Idk how many solo offline raids I’ve been in testing builds and without being attacked my health just drains to zero. And then how long you have to wait for the refresh button on top of only seeing 8 online raids at a time. Why is there no way of seeing 5 star raids without visiting EVERY raid on your map. Why do we only get one 6 star raid a day? It’s like they want us to time skip/roll the clock back 1 minute. The raid Pokémon going into a random animation that pulls you out of your move select. And then there’s the random frame drop issues in hand held mode. And don’t get me started on them removing the over world shiny effect like LoA had to force us to use that Let’s Go Battle feature to find the shinies that that where the colors barely changed

[@JoshArtisto]

Unfortunately TPC forces Game Freak to release these games quickly. SV should have been November 2023 but they had to coincide with the anime and merchandise.

[@Dingosig]

If you're trying to find everything by yourself it can easily be a nightmare, but fortunately the trading community is incredibly active so you can get any hidden ability in a few minutes as long as you have good breedject of your own to trade for what you want. To me the most annoying part about raids was when I just finished the game. At that point I couldn't beat raids, so I needed strong pokemons. But beating raids is pretty much the main way to get strong pokemon (by getting a breeding ditto, dropping XP candy...) so I felt kinda stuck, and ended up having to grind XP on chansey to grow a paradox pokemon to level 100, so I can use bottle cap on it to make it optimal for raids. Once you have the pokemon you need to beat most, if not every raids quickly, it becomes less of a struggle. Tho ye farming shards is still too time consuming for sure. Online raids are indeed horrendous, you mentioned the awful loading times, but also some 6+ stars raids are close to impossible to beat because of teammates bringing suboptimal pokemon that keep getting ko'ed over and over. I wont blame them because raids are way too hards for kids anyway but between teammates and loading times, there's pretty much no reason to not limit yourself to solo raids unless you have a team of friends to farm raids with.

[@tsui1024]

You can "leech raids" with a decent supportive mon and just use Cheers +/- Def/SpDef dropping moves. Grind a mon up with chansey to about 85 and just silently leech raids. I have an incredibly unoptimised Iron Hands which got me a lot of raid drops

[@salmonfish5314]

I miss the good old days when you could just find a Pokémon with the hidden ability in the wild. No specific raid, no patches needed, just a normal wild encounter and rng.

[@valkstorm981]

I like Tera raids because of the items and xp but trying to get competitive Pokémon it’s hard because not only you need the hidden ability you need the nature but expect this to be fix soon because the game is still fresh most people didn’t get the game when it first came out but since Christmas is here everyone’s gf got them this game this is the newest Pokémon game I’ve gotten since Pokémon black and white and everything is new to me

[@feralpossum2089]

What makes me insane is - when the pokemon knows no healing moves, yet goes from yellow to near full health again?? - when you're staring at the screen for a full minute or more unable to do anything, EVEN OFFLINE (so no bad internet lag thing)

[@jackcart2345]

Once you've got decent Pokémon set up witch is so easy to do in this game the raids become easy and you can blitz through them for herbs and other useful bits, also it's worth mentioning if you get four people together and just keep skipping you'll get decent five and six star raids constantly for herbs.

Having a method to cheese the Raids doesn't make them good. Usually, cheesing methods are developed because the system is flawed. If the system was good, you'd see people using all kinds of different tactics, and being encouraged to try them. This is just a repeat of the Sw/Sh Raid system.

[@okboomer2473]

@@Kohchu did you… watch the video? He was complaining about them being too difficult, and thus, easy solution. And… you do see a lot of different strategies with it. Online I’ve seen stuff like polteageist, kingambit, umbreon, blissey, grimmsnarl, revaroom, dacshbunn, ceruledge, armourouge and the list goes on. People do use different kinds of tactics, and the fact that people realise iron hands exists means very little for it. They drop materials that can get you like 4 shiny Pokémon an hour with the shiny charm, of course people want to get through them quickly to farm that. They’re far from well designed because of all the performance issues and the desincs and the like, but the stuff this guy was complaining about is absolutely a skill issue

[@virtualcolt]

One thing that is specially brutal about these raids, is that if you go online during an event or when that event is over, THEY RESET AUTOMATICALLY. Why on earth they didnt keep it like in Sword and Shield where you just reset them manually? That has caused me to lose several 6 star raids already with some Pokemon with tera types I wanted.

[@lemguins7031]

I just want abilities like dancer to actually work. The pokemon has the ability wipe abilities of opponents at will at any moment after 75% health, so I don't see why they make stuff like that fail.

FYI: I give myself the job of running taunt or screens on the mons I bring, otherwise, I use a consistent band or specs like Cinderace, Iron Valiant, Iron Bundle, Chi Yu. Sometimes Nasty plot Gholdengo is all you need though.

Yea, not only everything is tied to the raid system, but the raids themselves are horrible It somehow tries to combine real-time and turn-based into a total mess It also has those (I hope not intentional) features that sometimes when you can see that you dealt 90% damage to the pokemon, it resets to 50% HP just so it can turn on its shield or something The shield itself is just a waste of time, as in most cases you know you will win anyways it just takes longer because now you deal no damage... truly amazing game design

They spam the same move over and over and don't bother to heal themselves or their team when they are low on health -Pokémon can interupt your and your allies moves just to tell you that they lowered your stats, including menuing. -Their movesets are never said. If you go into a Tera Raid and your team has a primary grass type, but somehow they just have Acrobatics to pick them off. -With how bad the Raids are, its dumb that you lose a chunk of time when you die, and you proceed to lose more time when the timer is ticking when you're waiting for fainted Pokémon to revive. -They keep spamming so much status conditions: paralyze, sleep, burn, ect. It's becomes more annoying then actually difficult. -Shields don't add anything new, all they really do is just give them a Hp boost while they continue to sweep your team. -Speaking about shields, the game always pesters you to terastalize your mons, but half the time they keep stealing your charge so you can't anyways. -And apparantly moves hit harder when you're terastalized like what the frick- -The only good thing about it is that it's a 100% catch rate I'd list a lot more but the issues are pretty obvious.

And you have to sit through all of this to get the pokemon you want, including event pokemon that you can catcch for 2 days, or else you have to give gamefreak more money to use the Pokemon Home service to transfer pokemon.

I'm a shiny hunter and doing tera raids is annoying and they are such a low drop rate you have a chance to not even acquire them at the end. Then theres technical issues in raids like timing out even though it's a 0 hp it's just so bad.

[@jamesdraken8456]

I just checked all the raids I could, using a pokemon with trace to check the ability it had before even considering finishing it. Yes, it took awhile to get some specific ones I wanted, but not needing to battle and catch every single one cut that time exponentially.

Pokemon scarlet and violet raids made me quit pokemon entirely, not just these two games but every previous one and future ones, because they suck so bad, the raid boss has infinite luck too, always crits, always poisons, always burns, always puts to sleep, never misses, etc... and I'm stuck having 0 luck, all my not 100% accuracy moves miss even if they're 95%, I never poison, I never burn, etc...

[@OxbowisaMstie]

All of that aside you now have to account for players getting confused by Tera typing match-ups. This is a completely new problem. The raids in this game are a complete step back in every way from Sw/Sh but especially in implementation.

[@TheRenaSystem]

It's not that confusing? I don't wanna be rude but it's literally just the type that the den is. That's it. It does normal damage, plus extra on its type, and defensively it's just the type. Unless I'm confused and there's more?

[@OxbowisaMstie]

@@TheRenaSystem It's really not, but you still get a ton of players who bring stupid shit to the raid. I did not experience this level of frustration in Sword and Shield even after they introduced the Legendary raids. Not to mention it's a buggy, laggy mess right now and there are 6 stars where you can fail because you brought a mon that has a weakness to a certain move you didn't know about. Oh and don't forget about the animations and abilities happening in real time that eat away at the timer.

Everything I'm going to say has already been said but I'll say it anyway The good Raids are the only way to get herba mystica, allowing me to get more shiny friends IF your lucky, you can get great items (but your probably gonna need to make a lv 1/2 raid sandwich They're faster than last generation And the bad The raids are SO laggy, especially online, but not so much offline It is SO ANNOYING when you one shot a 5/6 star boss, but the health bar swoops back And they put up the shield, just wasting time Nuffaling stat buffs just feel like you wasted a belly drum turn Sometimes the boss can attack twice and that's stupid Raids online are INCREDIBLY miserable because it takes forever to join and then you probably won't get in In short I love how they're faster than sword and shield and offer better awards But too many stupid mechanic decisions and online lag make them feel like a step back

10:20 given a 4.55% chance to get an ability patch per raid,it would actually take 99 trials to have a 99% chance of getting it at least once- more than 8 hours of grinding assuming 5 minute tera raids 😂

[@jacob99503]

Just popping in to critique your math, but the way you found your odds isn't quite right. You don't just multiply the chance of finding what you're looking for by how many times you search for it, because you don't run out of other raids. Instead you need to raise the chance of what you want not happening, to the power of how many times you get it. Unless I misunderstand terra raid mechanics and there are no repeat raids. For example, each individual raid has a 0.44% chance to be Hatterene or it's Hattrem, leaving a 99.56% chance for anything else. 99.56% to the power of 8 is around 96.53%, which means you have around a 3.47% chance for one of the raids to be Haterene or Hattrem each time you refresh. Slightly lower than what you mentioned, but still relatively close.

[@tboltgames]

Bro, it pains me to see you suffer like this 😖 Did you find a HA Hatterene? Or I can trade you an ability patch if you want.

[@PatTyploosion]

Nah Tera raids are fun.

[@BlazingCyberKnight95]

I can feel bad. Finding hidden abilities suck

[@SS-yj2le]

I hunted for a hatterene with magic bounce back in sword and shield. All those dynamax raids prior to Crown Tundra and doing the dynamax adventures to get the ability patch available from the dynite ores there.

[@kstanni87]

Just use the Ability Patch item. Unless it's a unique event Ability like Battle Bond Greninja then you can usually get your hidden ability.

[@leaffinite2001]

The whole raid mechanic is bad. Because its time based and not turn based, stuff like leftovers, life orb, or other items or abilities that could be extremely helpful or even necessary end up losing you the raid by wasting your fuckin time with long ass animations, which lag, and text. I swear less than a 16th of the time spent in a raid is actual gameplay. If the boss has a status move? Might as well fuckin reset, itll spam it plus a dmg move every turn, and every paralysis, sleep, etc either kills you or wastes time by a shit ton. The npcs are next to useless so if youre not 15 with nothing to do with your life and tons of friends with free time its impossible to do half of all 6 star raids, even with max iv max ev ideal typing/tera typing pokemon you just lose cuz the npcs are ass, and a lot of the 6 star raids have really good coverage for their tera type meaning you have to have really specific pokemon to be able to hit super effective without getting hit supereffective. The heal cheer is random. Sometimes it saves your ass and other times its as bad as a basic potion, so you if you have to use it your kinda already fucked. The boss can wipe its stat debuffs and status ailments whenever, which is frustrating but kind of expected. However it can also wipe your stat buffs and negate your abilities, making any sort of stat changes really unreliable, despite being a necessity against tankier bosses. Ive been using multiple lvl 100, max evs, max ivs, optimal tera type pokemon, with various item strategys and movesets, and even then i still can only win 6star raids against pokemon with awful defenses and even worse offense. The whole system is just time consuming, unfair, and unfun. I know the mechanic is based around the idea of multiple real people taking on the same raid, but they offer the npcs as a legit option to fight the raids, despite them being near useless. It cant be that hard to make them even slightly competent right? And i havent even mentioned how buggy the whole thing is. Ive seen more animations skipped than played, sometimes the terrastilization cutscene incorrectly uses the normal battle camera, so you just watch from behind while all the other pokemon despawn. It lags like crazy, stutters all the time, on numerous occasions ive seen turns play out just like normal except the damage from the attack simply doesnt appear on the health bar, with no effects as if it didnt hit. One time all the menus disappeared 10 seconds into the raid, so i sat there doing nothing for 5 minutes until i lost the raid, at which point the game froze and i had to reset my game. Its just garbage.

[@hbudson1248]

Hey I agree with a lot of your frustrations, but there's just 1 thing you failed to consider- the element of human decision in what comes up. People choose to host raids, you can't boil the odds down to a number really. The Pokemon that give Herba Mystica take up a lot of space in terms of people's desire to host them, so Idk if this would "drop" the odds or bring them up I should also note that considering every possibility for a raid is a bit disingenuous, I'm pretty sure the game's coded to make 5 and 6 stars much more likely once you finish the postgame Edit: I'm not trying to "well actually" you with this, but I see how it would come off as such, sorry lol.

Do you know what ability capsules are?

[@calebmon]

You can get pokemon with hidden abilities from any raid level not just 6 stars, just go raiding a punch of tera raids until you find one you need, also ability patches and also friends that have one with the hidden ability as well, its honestly not that hard to find one unless you stupidly reset the clock needlessly to try and find the mon your looking for in a 6 star raid for no reason at all Tera raids are awful but all the reasons stated in this video are poorly thought out and seem to fail to understand basic gameplay mechanics about raids.

[@Solqueen86]

I was lucky a raid with Florges with Fairy Terra ( I know what the hell?) Gave me an ability capsule....But still they should have just let us buy the things at the Chanese mart for like 50,000 since they love jacking up the prices on everything else.

Why would you want everything to be baby mode? Rarity and difficulty is exactly what pokemon needs to be interesting. If everything is easy than everyone would have the exact same experience which is lame. I love the fact that I struggled with 5 star raids.

[@shailynx9626]

Your math isn't accurate, but your point still stands

[@link123mega4]

You need an Ability Patch? I have 4. If I were you, I'd wait for Pokemon Home or trade with someone who has it. Tera Raids are terrible in so many ways...sometimes you are waiting just to pick your moves, you can't find what you are looking for because there are only 8 spots, and when you get disconnected because of your internet, you might not be able to play online for a bit. When compared to Sword and Shield online, it is even worse, which I didn't think was possible, lol. Scarlet and Violet were fun to play through at least. Good luck getting what you are searching for dude!

[@Stitchlover96]

The time you have to wait to refresh Tera raid postings is horrible. I don’t always have the ability to play online with my friends to fill up my Pokédex, so raids are my best option, I think it makes you wait a full minute before you can refresh. I think this would be a lot less of a hassle if it let you refresh a lot sooner or even search by star level, Pokémon, Tera type, etc. Because I swear I wasted at least 2 hours alone, just refreshing the page because I’m trying to find Scarlet exclusive Pokémon since I have Violet.

[@BaconNuke]

Okay yes Pokemon raids have been a flawed idea just because it's a lucky draw... GF does not seem to know that people want to just.. find specific mons.. or items... like sure in the wild you can find the non HA of mons.. but when some are locked into raids? Then you just gotta suffer.. for example in Galar when I was doing some challenge run.. did you know that the dens near Hammerlocke have a chance of Charmander? There are 1 and 2 star loot tables for every den.. but they don't actively work until 3 badges.. so I had to run around getting Watts to buy Wishing Pieces just to go to the singular den that has it.. and stupidly they don't unlock the flying location for "Hammerlocke Hills" until you actually entered Hammerlocke.. despite me walking there already and whatnot.. so I had to walk back to that den over and over dodging the high level mons on my way.. just to find like.. Sizzlepedes and Litwicks.. which were already findable in places that are much much easier to get to.. and you already have access to.. One good thing about raids in Paldea is the easy 1 and 2 star raids still spawn.. Galar I was just fucked if I *made progress*.. was annoying.. just wish could tell what the difficulty was before got there... Anyways back to Paldea raids.. why is there a fixed pool of raids? Galar made sense a bit.. certain areas have certain pools because the wild mons around it are kinda set too.. but Paldea they just spawn wherever tf they like.. I just assumed the stars were for the level of the mon (and thus obviously higher stars are higher level and/or fully evolved) and better chances are good items and HA or something.. like obviously I wouldn't want a 1 star raid Gardevoir or 6 star raid Ralts (well that last one would be kinda funny) but why would you limit what can be in certain raids?! Like I can be in that forest with the Bisharp and find a wimpy 1 star or be next to Cortondo and find everything but.. Okay so it sounds like GF just wants you to do any raid you can so you can either get what you want or just work towards getting it (ie could get lucky and get mon you want with HA or Tera Type you want) so they don't see the issue since.. if you aren't going for anything specific you can just do stuff and get rewards to use eventually.. Btw how tf do you get 5 and 6 star raids? The max I keep finding is 4 stars.. I have all the gym badges, beat all the Titans, and beat all of Team Star so.. umm.. why am I limited to 4 stars?

[@defoaqua]

I have no idea why certain fully evolved pokemon such as Slaking and Luxray aren't in 6 star dens I feel like that's a big design flaw because not everyone is going to check Serbii to find stuff like this out Also to get 5 star dens you have to finish the whole game until you see the credits play To get 6 star dens you have to beat all 8 gym leaders again, after that the academy will host a tournament which you have to beat and then you have to beat 15 5 star raids after you do all of that you'll get a message saying new mysterious dens have appeared and those are the 6 star ones

[@alolanchampion]

I honestly can't help but agree. Most competitive mons I wanna use will have to be obtained by breeding down pokemon from Swsh. Magic Bounce Hatterene for example. I'm not going through all that with a low chance of getting what I want. And then don't even get me started on the ev's. A big missed opportunity I hope they bring back was the ev removing lady from the isle of armor. That was SO USEFUL. It wouldn't be as much of a pain if you can just buy ev reducing berries from pokemarts, but nooooooo. GF just had to make us work for it by having them sparkle on the ground. I don't want to spend hours on that

[@bluephoenix4241]

There's a 3% chance to find a Hidden Ability in the wild.

[@AuraPhotonReality]

Imma rant to because oh boi this feature was *ANTICLIMACTIC AS FRICK* Okay so to start... ALL THE ICONS LOOK THE FREAKING SAME! For your thing of looking for a 5 star raid. I noticed this. The terra raid stuff looks the SAME. There may be a small difference I can't see. The only acception is 6 star raids. So finding the right difficulty is a pain! Maybe if they did something to make it easier. I see it is a 6 sided star of sorts for the shape on the icon. Perhaps the icon gets a different aura for each raid. Now the crystal in the overworld should have spikes to represent what star it is. Or something- like I want to know if that raid near THE GHOST GYM IS 5 STAR only to be a 2 star. Next is a small one but I would like to see the name of the type near the icon. Some are obvious but some aren't. It would be really useful for those not to familiar with the icons. Like I mix up Ground and Poison all the time! IN RAIDS Okay I hate what everyone else hates. Bad timer punishment, lag, and other stuff. How I would fix raids: - Make it easier to know which star is which; perhaps add a sort tool on map, or do something like "Find 5 star raid- perhaps even selecting it on the map displays what raid it is! Would make finding raids allot easier - Add the type name next to the icon. Some are obvious like Water and such but Ground and Poison for me look TO similar. Maybe those new to those type icons, add in the name of the type. So "Water" next to Water Type tera raids. IN Raid Fixes: - The Timer bar will receive major fixes. Firstly; It will be a better bar with how many seconds are left in number. I see time increases for higher/harder raids. Secondly; If you faint, the timer is cut a smaller amount but you revive within 3 seconds. It feels unfair it cuts 1/3 the timer then you wait 15 seconds. Lastly: When moves and such are used, the timer will pause for the animations. - Attacks go by order of speed stat; so you have time to choose and won't get cut off. - Debuffs will be allowed (AND CAN BE RE-APPLIED IF SHIELD IS UP) - The whole TERA CHARGE REMOVING, SHIELD UP, AND TERA REMOVING is getting reworked for balances. So first of all: Removing of Stats and Draining of charge will only affect ONE TARGET. Imo it is to unbalanced it affects everyone on top of... SECONDLY: Only one action of those can be done per "turn" - like most the timer is drained when they RAISE A SHIELD, REMOVE THERE DEBUFFS, REMOVE OUR BUFFS, AND DRAIN TERRA CHARGE. THAT is unfair as hell! Thirdly: The shield will be smaller PLUS weaker. Like the fact they can drain tera charge with shields up imo is a bit to overpowered. So yeah only one will be affected. Lastly: any applied stat drops can be re-applied. - Better rewards Other fixes: - It shouldn't take ages to connect and/or refresh - Random should let you choose which star you want - A ability to search for raids. - Bug fixes and lag fixes
