Greninja down, solo Slowbro does it again.  Here's the build and strategy I used (spoilering in case anyone wants to figure it out themselves): Slowbro / Own Tempo Tera: Psychic @Shell Bell +SpAtk / -Atk EVs: HP, SpAtk Stored Power Nasty Plot Iron Defense Slack Off Slightly modified from the Cinderace OHKO build. The strategy is to stall out for a few turns at the beginning until Greninja resets your stats, then boost up to +6 SpAtk and +6 Def and Stored Power his rear end until he dies. Slack Off if HP drops too low. Tera as soon as you can. He shields fairly early in the fight, so you will be able to chunk through it and most of his HP before he throws out two more Double Teams, and then you just need to plink him one more time. The only dangers I can forsee are too many Night Slash crits or repeated misses thanks to Double Team. You could try to stall out the rest of his HP by spamming Slack Off and cheers to help the NPCs live long enough to whittle him down.

Gastrodon build for Greninja: Tera: Ground Ability: Storm Drain Item: Assault Vest EVs: +HP to max, rest in SpATK, SpDEF, DEF Nature: Bold or Calm Attacks: Mud Slap Earth Power Clear Smog Chilling Water Instructions: Clear Smog R1 and whenever greninja Double Teams, as needed. Mud Slap 2+ times, until your team feels 'safe', then tera and blast away with Earth Power. Chilling Water is there to help reduce greninja's dark attack damage vs allies or to boost other Gastrodons that have Storm Drain or to heal allies with Water Absorb, like Vaporeon.

1 fight, 1 catch. I used a Toxapex. Functionally invincible. And you don't make Slowbros cry. Their feelings are very important to the meta. You have to data mine the raid it to see that though. Tera: Poison Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 HP 192 Def 64 SpD Nature: Bold Chilling Water Recover Toxic Haze The secret is having a team that doesn't use pokemon they saw and don't know how to use. This build doesn't work offensively for this raid. But it keeps you from taking more than 10 HP from anything Greeninja did. And I was already using this in singles anyway. So you can do support if you want. No one died, and we won in a few minutes instead of a forever slog just to lose. The slowbro only did like 5 turns of set up too. Instead of the usual entire time bar.

I'm looking for literally any suggestions for patches for either Crystal or Emerald that are 100% Legal for Bank/Home. What's best? What are my options? I've never played a romhack ever. edit: I never did a Nuzlocke ever either! wizard2 fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Jan 28, 2023 |

I've never played a romhack ever. I don't think there are any. Even if you were able to patch Crystal and Emerald and upload a playable version to a cartridge, you need to go through the Gen 4 games and a DS or DSLite to even get it into Bank. And I'd be willing to guess that near any fuckery with the code in those games would mess with the ability to sync it with a Gen 4 cartridge. Edit: After some digging, it looks like there's a version of Crystal Clear that can sync with the Poketransporter to get mons into a Gen 4 game if its set up right. But good luck finding it. I think there are also ways to get Pokemon generated through PKSM or PKHeX uploaded to the Switch generations, but it doesn't really involve the random generation you get with ROMhacks. You're just straight up hacking pokemon at that point. AlternateNu fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Jan 28, 2023 |

I simply got a froakie in my Scarlet early-game surprise trade last night! It's hard to pick a team in these games, but it's also easy to keep like 20 pokemon levelled up so that's fine.

Surprise trade got me all three starters on my first night playing, just absolutely wonderful. I was running around the other night and suddenly realized a murkrow in a group was purple. My second shiny find ever! I'm workshopping a name, probably will be CarmenSander after the sanderling bird.

Just beat Greninja with my stored power Vaporeon and an online team of... two Stored Power Slowbros and a second Stored Power Vaporeon. Took us a while to get going but smoked him once we got bulked.

I like to name Murkrow 'Hecuba' or 'Hecate' or something classical-sounding. Doesn't really work if you're going to evolve it though actually 'Hecuba' is a pretty good name for a scary mob boss lady.

I noticed that none of the in-game sandwich recipes, food stands, or restaurants give Raid Power Poison bonuses, so here's a really quick recipe for Raid Power Poison Lv. 1: 1x Green Bell Pepper 1x Horseradish 1x Whipped Cream Sweet & Hot flavor combo gives a Raid bonus, so I'm assuming you could combine those two condiments with any one of the mono-type ingredients to make any Raid Power Lv1.

Slowbro might as well throw stored power pre reset to build up Tera. I went three times. First time had another bro, an Umbreon and a tinkaton who both just fed. Second time, I won: two bros, a Lucario, and a Qwilfish. The other two didn't do anything noticable, but they also didn't faint, so, you know. The other bro and I were in perfect sync and we murdered it easily. I went back for a third run where we had two Vaporeon and an iron hands and the iron hands just got ate up immediately lmao.

It could've been you who disconnected and all three turned AI. Also, the AI doesn't JUST attack. That was only an example. But it doesn't do complex strategy. It will use stat moves sometimes.

The clodsire started spamming Megahorn r1 and I thought the Slowbros decided to "throw" by spamming unbuffed Stored Power afterwards until we wiped. Now I am much more relieved to consider that the meta isn't actually that toxic around the 7-star raids and that I just had a total disconnect from the other players, because on that run I'd almost turned it around and broken the shield mostly by myself before I decided to "let 'er rip" and use clear smog to remove all the evasion increases and accuracy decreases on the Greninja, signalling the incoming wipe times.

It's really hard to figure out some Lv. 2 sandwiches without resorting to Herba Mystica. There are a few sandwich generator apps out there, but they're more like simulators and in-game recipe searches. There's nothing I've found that lets you search for a specific power and have it generate recipes for you. e: I love building the massive sandwiches, they're so funny. This thing has 12 sausages and 2 giant tortillas in it and it's like a foot high. DizzyBum fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Jan 29, 2023 |

So the hacked 6IV shinies - are they safe to send into Home for the pokedex, or no? I wouldn't use them in raids or online or anything of course. Never even had one before and I've got two in two days. Shiny annihilape is not as cool as I'd hoped.
