Do the tera raid battles get harder? I've done a few and the Pokemon usually dies so fast I don't even get a chance to attack.

I spent 45 minutes bashing my head against a Normal-tera piggy earlier before giving up. Three stars, I wasn't quite levelled and it kept getting off a bunch of Work Ups and nuking me. Even bringing a ghost type didn't stop it hurling Seed Bombs. I'm gonna go back soon and get that fucker.

Maybe it's that I think that Legends Arceus did a similar concept far better, with more style and structure.

agreed the busywork check list game of flat empty areas that repeated pokemon endlessly and couldnt have more than 2 on screen at once and had gameplay best described as holding down ZR to fire a machine gun of balls at everything and nothing else is much better. unrelated but a cartoon roadrunner just caved my skull in with an anvil.

Tera 5 stars are lvl 75 and apparently there's 7 star raids

It's the best because I saw a bigger than normal pokemon and clapped and the normal pokemon battle system for children is too complicated for me so the simplified game really was perfect for my dehydrated brain.

I've noticed I've been in a few Tera raids where I'll deal KO damage to the Pokemon, then a couple seconds later it'll suddenly have 1/4 health.

My guess is desynching issues.

probably the most gently caress ed up thing about scarvi is its pokedex is 1000x more compelling than the game which was supposed to be entirely focused on the pokedex just bcos it has a cool presentation vs a piece of paper with "catch 25 wurmple" written on it

Also all the players in the after endgame tourney all have 6 pokemons. So you have lvl 90 7 star raids and trainers all with 6 pokemon in the repeatable tourney endgame, all with random teachers, students, etc.

No they have a shield/endure/ etc. Best way is to Tera and try and break it

I always go with new pokemon, but this time I got to use a Mankey on a technicality. It's great. Mankey is one of my favorite pokemon that I've never gotten to use because it was always a version exclusive to the wrong game.

Annihilape's cry is pretty disturbing. I love it.

Houndstone's bone cracking cry scared the hell out of me the first time I met one in battle

The Arceus gameplay elements are fascinatingly divisive. Some people seem to really love them, some seem to really dislike them. I'd be very curious what a marriage of the two styles would look like, especially with S/V already representing a step closer.

In the East near to the elec-gym town there you can actually walk quite far into the water "on the sandbars" as it were, on the way to the islands. I tried to catch gyarados and dolphin there, no problem on foot or dragonback.

they should leave all the grinding checklists out of the main game and also make legends open world pokemon snap where instead of having to do a bunch of inane tasks each pokemon needs you to do one or two interesting photo setups. simple as that really.

56-62, they have 5 each. But there's tourneys post game with you going against 4 random story trainers/npcs, they have 6 mons around 70 I think I remember.

5 star Tera raids are lvl 75 mons. No idea what 7 star ones are like, never found anything past 5 so far

Playing coop with 3 others is the absolute best though
