• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

7-Star Raids - Strategies, Speculation & Discussion Thread

Don't have much an issue since it means an extra week farming his raid daily

And not just that but Walking Wake as well.
I still think it should be allowed to catch more than 1 copy of a raid boss. It's fast than leveling up a pokemon up to level 100 from eggs or getting a preferred nature.

I don't mind this one bit, i already caught Chesnaught during the last event. Iron Treads is easy to find in Violet
(It would be great if it was a event where the Great Tusk could be caught for Violet Players) I don't mind items too much

Regarding Great Tusk for Violet players, this is that event. You should be able to easily join Great Tusk raids online whether you're playing Scarlet or Violet.

Well- when the event ever goes live...

Sorry to double post. Has anyone any news on the Tera raids? Did they ever rematerialise? Have I missed them?
I suggest that we wait, the developers might be still working on the problem. I haven't seen them yet.

New data shows that if it wasn't for the raid suspension, the next raid to be released this week was supposed to be Fairy Tera Typed Delphox.

Currently unknown when the release will be.

We need a smart strategy, Delphox will very likely have fire and psychic moves so it won't be easy to bring a steel type or fighting. I think this is one case where Annihilape won't be as strong compared to usual.

I feel like with the right set up, stats and tera type, that Revaroom, Tinkaton, Kingambit and Gholdengo can be good candidates.

Doing Their Best
Fairy Tera Delphox is going to be pretty tricky, Fire/Psychic are both super effective against Steel and Poison and carries actual set up in Calm Mind and Nasty Plot. Not sure whether bringing Steel-types is a good idea as it requires quite a bit of support to offset potential boosted Fire moves (particularly as Spirit Break and Mystical Fire are the only moves that can debuff Special Attack through the shield).

Blissey would make for an excellent supporter provided Delphox does not run Psyshock. Defensive Tera for attackers may not really fly since the damage against the shield for non-matching Tera Types is reduced to 30% for the Mightest Raids.

I think there would be a answer with Inteleon with Steel or Poison Tera Type....for a Tera Blast move. But does Inteleon have good
setup moves aside from allies like Swagger and Inteleon holds a Persim berry right before the Tera-Orb ready?

Unless Greninja can get Protean in this game which means it can't remove it's Dark type to survive Delphox's fairy move and might not survive to use a Gunk Shot or Tera Blast as a Steel or Poison Tera Greninja.

I remain flabbergasted that we've had no indication of when the weekend raids are coming back.

Chesnaught hasn't finished up and most of us never saw the Paradox Donphans.

I know in the grand scheme of things it's not the end of the world but it was one of the few parts of the post game I did look forward to. I am glad I haven't bought the DLC as yet - the plan was to buy it for both versions next month - but it feels like so much with the S/V cycle has just gone wrong. It's such a shame.

Does anyone else have ideas that can defeat the dangerous Delphox that is coming?

It's going to hit hard on poison steel and fighting types.

What's the point of discussing it when we have no idea when it's coming?

It's at least two to three weeks away at this point, given we're now two raid weekends down.
