YesIs it live?
Damn yo what'd you use?Just soloed it first time lmao
This one:Damn yo what'd you use?
There was a bit of luck involved - I almost got knocked out once or twice - but I think this strat should work out in a few goes at mostSo apparently you don't get a time penalty when your NPCs are knocked out in raids - that's why playing with NPCs seems mostly better than with people. I highly recommend everyone use Iron Hands, Level 100, Hyper Trained in HP/Atk/Def/SpDef, Adamant nature, with Belly Drum, Drain Punch, and Thunder Punch (fourth move doesn't matter too much) and holding the Punching Glove. You'll be able to solo 6-star raids with ease (except for Ghost Tera type)
It learns Ice Punch too, might be worth trying to soloThis one:

Definitely beats trying with others, who will wear down the timer much faster due to being KOed
What Pokémon are you using? Do you want to try to do it together?Yeah after 10 attempts with the raid I'll have to pass lol. The cherry on top was getting Charizard Hp down to zero 3 times only for him to regenerate, and then my Pokemon gets confused, attacks itself, dies and then we lose. I was personally attacked by the game lmao
I don't think that's the play, to be honest. The main reason the strat is so consistent is because assuming the opponent doesn't have a shield up yet, or you're Terrastalized, Drain Punch will fully recover your HP each time it connects after a Belly Drum. So if you survive the first two hits you're goldenIt learns Ice Punch too, might be worth trying to solo
Have you unlocked 6-star raids yet? I think you need to have done that firstI haven't even found the raid. Is it not marked on the map?
Yeah... turns out I was one 5 star away from doing soHave you unlocked 6-star raids yet? I think you need to have done that first
I just had someone with that set, it was unbelievably helpfulI actually haven't bothered unlocking the six star raids either, so I'm trying to cruise through some lower level ones to get those
I ended up making a Blissey set to wall Zard and support the Drummers with Life Dew, Light Screen, and Helping Hand
Were you Tera Fighting? Mine is Tera Electric and I'm worried that I wouldn't do enough damage after the shield is up.What Pokémon are you using? Do you want to try to do it together?

Yeah, mine is Tera Fighting. The shield will definitely be an issueWere you Tera Fighting? Mine is Tera Electric and I'm worried that I wouldn't do enough damage after the shield is up.
I’m with you on that I think it’s somewhat unfortunate that the discussion on the technical performance is overshadowing discussion on the core gameplay design. And this is one that I highly agree with.barely any elaborate points of interests to discover and explore
There was a bug that only had the first few notes of the song play, so that’s why people were saying that.People kept saying that the Elite 4 track is terrible
I feel like such a mom running this, giving these bunnies water and shielding them from the heatI just had someone with that set, it was unbelievably helpful
Nah it's fine. I was using my Azumarill for a couple and then my Dachsbun. The Dachsbun did better simply because of the Well-baked body ability.What Pokémon are you using? Do you want to try to do it together?
You need to finish the postgame to find them. You can join with a link code, but if you don't have a strong Fairy-type Pokémon, you will almost certainly get demolished. Charizard is Lv. 100 with a huge health bar and powerful moves.I’m about half way through the game, enjoying not rushing it, but have just logged on for A Charizard raid and can’t find one. Am I locked out until I beat the game? Is there a way to do it with a link code? If so, is anyone hosting??
I legit didn't know this. I kept reading in the leak thread and on twitter that the Elite 4 theme is horrendous, so I prepared for the worst lol.There was a bug that only had the first few notes of the song play, so that’s why people were saying that.
I didn't realize until I saw patch note discussions that the Elite 4 soundtrack has a glitch? Basically it loops the first few seconds and sounds really kind of terrifying (it basically sounds like no music and this creepy sound effect over and over). When I played through it I thought it was intentional, given the entire set of battles takes place in some asylum-like room. Check YouTube for the glitch track, that might be what people thought was bad.People kept saying that the Elite 4 track is terrible, but uuuuuuhhh I thought it was good?
YES. like so many decisions, i don't get how this is a regression from arceus, and i really don't think its something that could have been hard to add... encountering the first i was really confused, thinking "wait...is it a bug" since i expected SOME sign that its a shiny...Shinies I found:
Skiddo (yuck), Kilowattrel, Cubchoo, Hawlucha, Goomy
I probably missed a lot (who thought it was a good idea to remove the overworld shiny jingle from Arceus ffs...), but still a pretty good haul. Wanted to find a shiny Dreepy or Bagon, but luck wasn't on my side.
There is a reason, even people that usually can ignore it are struggling with the tech.My opinion (keeping it very short):
I know I'm beating a dead horse with this, but the ridiculous performance issues are extremely frustrating. Pretty much in 2 ways even. Of course, these extreme frame drops are annoying and make exploring the world less enjoyable, this goes without saying. But what I find also very frustrating is the fact that these issues are dominating the discourse and divert from the games' strenghts. Because outside of these inexcusable issues, Pokémon S/V are actually good games. I don't who is responsible in the end (prolly GameFreak), but they pretty much scored an own goal by releasing the games in that state. Felt like this were the games that would bring extremely jaded long-time fans closer to the franchise again after "being done" Game Freak and modern Pokémon.
I believe Charizard gains health when it drops too low before the barrier goes up. There seems to be a fixed minimum for its health when the barrier goes up, and if you get it below that (as is not too difficult with a Belly Drum Azu, and harder for others) it will jump back upNow listen. Not to be a conspiracy theorist but I think there is a bug with Azumarill in the Charizard raid. I noticed that when Azumarill is in the raid Charizard gains health more. I tested it myself a couple times. He gained health 4 times when I use Azumarill. Only twice with my Dachsbun. The normal barrier rejuvenation that seems to happen with 6 and 7 star raids. And then when he gets into the red his health kind of double. But there were two more instances with Azumarill he gained health all towards the end of the raid.

If you really don't want to wait a couple of weeks, maybe some folks in this thread can set you up with something. There's enough people here who've finished that we could give you something good and help you along.
Once you finish the game and go to a Pokemon Center, you'll unlock the Judge function in your Boxes(not sure if that is likely to have good stats or not (or even how I would find out)
Before you train anything up you should read these:Thanks,
I found a wild Tera Type Azumaril at level 55 last night (not sure if that is likely to have good stats or not (or even how I would find out) but I’ve popped it in my party.
I’ve also now beaten all titans, and have three gyms and three star bases left, so figure I might push on to the end of the game and then try and build a decent Pokémon for the next set of Charizard raids. I really don’t want to miss out though
This might be why. Raids are so janky so this makes sense.I've heard the Azumarill bug is tied to how the raid calculates health and damage relating to Huge Power. I believe it's just a display issue where it shows you doing more damage than you actually did.
Yeah I know about that. Feels like it's just 50% health, which is fine. It's the health gains after that is where I'm seeing some weirdnessI believe Charizard gains health when it drops too low before the barrier goes up. There seems to be a fixed minimum for its health when the barrier goes up, and if you get it below that (as is not too difficult with a Belly Drum Azu, and harder for others) it will jump back up

So I'm not at the point for raiding, but I am making my way through the story so far. I am still loving the dialogue from the teachers, both in class and in their side stories. Some of the funniest stuff I've gotten from the franchise, too. I want more of this!
The professor for this class throwing definitely-not-Arven under the bus was actually pretty funny despite it being a fairly basic joke
They're opening for CharizardAlso, why are there so many Florges and mimikyu raids? I also can't tell the difference between the different color raids. Some 4 star raids are blue stars and have a gold background. It's weird. I'm sure there is a simple answer but it's just weird.
Protip: don't bother taking the classesTaking classes is a drag
Are there not side quests you get from taking them? That was why I thought you had to do them.Protip: don't bother taking the classes
not actually a protip because you do get some stuff from completing them but I still maintain the classes thing was not particularly well thought out
You get a bunch of stuff at the end of them.Are there not side quests you get from taking them? That was why I thought you had to do them.
Supposedly you get a side quest for finding the four Beasts of Ruin but I never bothered with the classes and I still found them soAre there not side quests you get from taking them?
