    Movesets for 5 and 6 star raids?

    https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/pokemon-scarlet-and-pokemon-violet-tera-raid-battle-tips So they updated this raid tips page again, which they have been linking on the pokemon.com page for every 7-star event. The new date is from a few days ago (May 14, 2024 vs. the last revision from July...

    I watched to see Azumarill and this cut is all I get.

    I wanted to make a short update that CAP 34 is officially named Chuggalong and remind myself that the next month's battle count will be down naturally because of the outages, but also the equivalent of Toxic Chain counterplay to Mirror Herb is Unaware.

    Club Penguin

    I saw Club Penguin die, and I was playing Club Penguin before you were born. At a time I thought it would outlive me, but it was a wakeup call that nothing lasts forever and everything has a cost to exist. I dropped out of it around before Disney was revamping the whole modern artstyle and...

    "So hotshot, you want to reach page 5?" "Page 5? No, I'm on page 2." It's neat how they adapt the manga art sometimes though that one forehead is weird with the bang on the other side.

    7* Raid - Fairy Primarina - May 10-12/17-19

    This raid has exposed another hole in the AI in that Primarina doesn't seem to recognize Liquid Voice Sing as being ineffective on revealed Water Absorb/Storm Drain. The rest of this post will not be about a Water Absorb user though as there's lots of coverage on that already...

    7* Raid - Fairy Primarina - May 10-12/17-19

    Azumarill solos the Soloist Pokemon. This is probably one of the least engaging raids for some reason. The first tera charge steal/buff reset/debuff reset/Encore is all frontloaded, so you can just wait for the first 20% of the timer to pass and you avoid dealing with all that. In conjunction...

    7* Raid - Fairy Primarina - May 10-12/17-19

    Last hour predictions: I think the coverage move will be Psychic just because it hits Poisons best and they like to mess with the common picks over hitting everything neutrally. I am still not betting on Calm Mind, but the trend of status moves scaling up lately means anything else would be...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thinkers50 It seems like Wikipedia is too good for Thinkers50.

    7* Raid - Fairy Primarina - May 10-12/17-19

    I don't think Energy Ball is very helpful coverage. It is less than half as strong than tera STAB Moonblast and still weaker than neutral Moonblast when SE, so it will only be better against 4x weaknesses that Moonblast already hits neutrally anyway, and it can't benefit in any other matchup...

    7* Raid - Fairy Primarina - May 10-12/17-19

    Aside from Kanto for Pokemon Day it looks like this theory is still going, we'll see if Sceptile and Incineroar are next. The first thought I had is that we're running out of non-STAB types for even the main starter raids now that they're resorting to secondary types, though Fairy isn't a bad...

    A minor and major update with the Pokemon forums: A recent change noticeable in the images of my last posts is that all posts now have a 3-dot icon in the top right. Previously this menu had the edit posts option in the past, but it brings up an empty menu now even on your own posts...

    The new CAP 34 is in progress as of writing. It doesn't have a name yet, but it is Dragon/Poison and has a 45/43/117/120/110/115 stat spread (550 BST). Compared to Naganadel, it takes hits slightly better bulkwise despite the low HP, though it is also noticeably weaker with its Attack being its...

    Iron Leaves and Walking Wake Raid Event Movesets

    I was challenged to beat Iron Leaves with Azumarill again without Mud-Slap. It goes a lot faster if you have the right support (like Intimidate to cut both Attack and Quark Drive) and don't faint thanks to suboptimal move choices like Megahorn. I think it's important to note for these 5-star...

    Iron Leaves and Walking Wake Raid Event Movesets

    This does not seem like an optimal or tested strategy for a few reasons: The strategy assumes that Kingambit does not get hit and die for 6+ turns straight just to set up with only paralysis to stop it which is not reliable. Tera charge is stolen at the 40% HP mark, which Kowtow Cleave is going...

    I added a report on there, but realistically I don't think the mods will take much action if they're approving the links in the first place and the mods have been light on removing external links (depending on the mod, maybe Mod_Pandaroo would be receptive), and there have been no bans since...
