Barreft posted:5 star Tera raids are lvl 75 mons. No idea what 7 star ones are like, never found anything past 5 so far 6-star raids are level 90 and unlocked by doing a bunch of successful 5-stars. 7-stars I believe are event-exclusive and the first one is the Charizard raids this weekend so no one has any idea yet. 6-star raids are loving hard. My success rate when doing them with randos is like 30%. Doesn't help that people will do things like bring Koraidon against a ground type, loving my Iron Bundle's terastab Hydro Pumps with its stupid sunshine.

Larryb posted:So on Tera raids, is it possible for the Pokémon to break out of the ball like they could in the Dynamax raids or is it a guaranteed catch? I haven't seen a single failed catch in something like ~40 raids so far. If it's possible it's really rare. Harder raids unlock based on story progression.

Yeah, turns out I didn't get the actual Champion theme either and jesus christ I feel so ripped off now.  I do find it hilarious though that the only two tracks I thought were bad were just bugs. Pretty fitting for S/V.

Zuzie posted:Apparently the main strategy for high level raids are all Perrserker with Steely Spirit to keep powering themselves and each other up. Maybe throw in the occasional Tinkaton in the mix. Yeah, HA Perrserker's ability, Steely Spirit, stacks with other instances of it, so four of it equals +200% damage to all Steel-type attacks in the raid. You have everyone Screech turn 1, then Helping Hand the raid host who hits the raid boss with the mother of all Iron Heads, one-shotting them. E: I'm also batch-breeding and hatching Galarian Meowths with a HA parent so if people want a murder catte of their very own, PM me.

Muscle Tracer posted:i have said it before and i will say it again: bring back the type effectiveness quiz from SM, ask a question when you sign into online, and pair up people who got it right with each other, and people who got it wrong with each other. Part of it is that, IME, you do far better gearing for defense against the opposing raid mon's move pool then you do specifically for targeting the raid's tera type. I've seen a bunch of grass raids where Ceruledges get massacred by something with Earthquake. Exceptions, of course, for coordinated burst strategies like 4 Perrserkers or Iron Hands.

Muscle Tracer posted:PSA: if you use Screech and your ally Azumarill usess Belly Drum -> Play Rough, you will fully one-shot him through all the bullshit. I've been having a great time with Umbreon and [Light screen / Screech / Helping Hand / Snarl], or a similar Sylveon with Rain Dance. Please for the love of god do not Rain Dance in the Charizard raids. Hurricane is easily its most threatening move to Azumarill due to the /water typing blunting the fire stuff and rain makes it 100% accurate.

From what I saw on streams, people were using Dachsbun as a mix of support and damage, yeah. Body Press for its main offense even if it isn't SE because all the fire damage is free defense boosts, and then Helping Hand and Misty Terrain to enable the Azumarills.

Countblanc posted:Forretress' talents dont really lend themselves to the VGC format. it excels at everything entry hazard-related, being able to set any of the main ones and it has access to both Rapid Spin and Volt Switch to keep momentum after clearing/setting hazards, but VGC really doesn't care about hazards in the slightest. I'm not really sure what you'd use it for on a doubles team. I guess it has access to dual screens, that's an option. Plus, like, anything Forretress would do, Glimmora can just do better. I've definitely seen some entry hazard/forced switching nonsense on the ladder, but only rarely and it still usually folds to a very angry Sylveon yelling at them to please leave.

If you are doing any sort of ranked battling please for the love of god remember that Farigiraf blocks priority moves or don't, and keep free wins to the people using it My favorite is when people try to use Taunt from their prankster mons at it to try and stop Trick Room

FAT32 SHAMER posted:Ahhhh Also for more niche competitive things like having a 0 in an IV for a given stat. You can use a bottle cap to get a 31 - you can't use one to get a 0. 0 IV comes up for things like Trick Room teams (you want your mons to be as slow as possible there), 0 IV in your Attack for bulky mons and special attackers so they take less damage from Foul Play or hitting themselves when confused, etc. At the end of the day, aside from 0 Speed for Trick Room, though, a lot of this is "final percentage" detail work, and not something that you do for like... every mon you wanna do ranked with.

I kinda want to build a hazard spam/stall/be a horrible goose team for ranked now that I've hit Master Ball with my Torkoal and Sylveon Yell and Explode Tour. Problem is my brain gets about as far as "well, obviously Glimmora + Garganacl, but then what" and stalls (heh) out. :/

Cattail Prophet posted:No idea if it'd actually be any good or just a dumb gimmick, or if it even really fits in on a stall team, but if you just want to be the biggest rear end in a top hat might I suggest a Grafaiai to gently caress around with items? It's got access to switcheroo, thief, knock off, and fling, can run either a prankster or unburden set depending on what you want to do with the other moveslots, and since it's a poison type you can give it black sludge. The entire team idea is based in being just a dumb gimmick tbh, so I'll put it on the consideration list. It was actually already low key on my radar because I had a match on Showdown today where it tried to Fling at my Farigiraf (blocked by Armor Tail), and turns out it was carrying a King's Rock for some sort of hosed up off brand Fake Out  .

Also remember that Glimmets like to hang out on walls, so ZL and look around. Eat for Encounter Power too. Probably poison, to limit the number of non-Glimmet things you'd get.

Alternatively, I'm sure everyone and their mom here will have eggs to spare once the event starts.

I'm sure someone will post some dumbfuck take about how this makes fashion balling ~too easy~ or some poo poo but the world would be a better place if the particular brand of brainworms that make people think exclusivity is valuable would perish.
