Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - TV Tropes Forum (2024)

Don't think too much about it, really

As multiple tier 7 Starter raids have shown us again and again, they won't be that "over prepared", so that players can still beat them. Like, people were worried about Emboar's coverage, turns out Emboar just has three STAB moves + head smash.

I was kind of hoping Sceptile would be something other then Tera Dragon, but I suppose its movepool limits their options. At least since they seem unwilling to use the move designed to make sure (almost) all Tera Types can have a STAB move.

Actually, I'm curious... Do competitive players use Tera Blast either?

Sceptile's movepool isn't that shallow where the choice was limited to Dragon.

Can't say how common it is in VGC, but I can recall a few Pokemon that had it.

That's pretty why I'm now generally at the point of "wait and see" as opposed to trying to prep something beforehand. Though I think examples like Meganium provided a bit of a curve ball.

I got curious about what Tera types haven't been used by an Unrivaled Pokemon yet, and I think Dark is the only one left?

Unless they decided to do one with Stellar, too.

Missed getting Emboar due to coming down with COVID-19 the same weekend the raid happened.

I felt sh*tty enough that I didn't even want to touch my Switch. Oh well.

Disgusted, but not surprised

I'm gonna try a Nuzlocke run in Violet starting in July.

If you play with fire, you're gonna get burned.

I would not recommended it, as it's too open world so you'll need to make modifications to the nuzlock rules, like how I did when I attempted it.

After 10 year plus years I have the confidence to be here. "Mother...wouldst thou truly lordship sanction, in one so bereft of light?"

Oh well, nobody's perfect, right?

That would be correct. As of now, the Tera Type distribution of the Mighty/Unrivaled Raids are as follows:

Normal: Eevee, Rillaboom
Fighting: Cinderace
Flying: Blaziken, Decidueye
Poison: Swampert, Greninja
Ground: Venusaur
Rock: Chesnaught
Bug: Samurott
Ghost: Typhlosion
Steel: Blastoise
Fire: Hisuian Typhlosion
Water: Pikachu, Hisuian Samurott
Grass: Hisuian Decidueye
Electric: Emboar
Psychic: Mewtwo, Meganium
Ice: Empoleon, Inteleon, Iron Bundle
Dragon: Charizard, Sceptile
Fairy: Delphox, Primarina

Right now, I'd say that Incineroar is the most likely to have the Dark Tera Type, considering Mighty Decidueye's Tera Type is its pre-evolutions' secondary type, while Mighty Primarina's is its secondary type (as Popplio and Brionne were both pure Water types).

I want to go to Tonio's.

So yeah, I’ll be off this site through July and August for my run.

See you then. Be sure to recount your adventure when you get back.

Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!

We'll miss your inputs.

Power is just power! The desire for all power leads to conflict. And that conflict leads to the ultimate battle! Now is the time!

Actually I’ll pop in whenever I get a badge.
