#TERA RAID

[shiny-kaibernyte]

Ooo is it ok if u write a drayton x reader where reader is really reckless and always takes on challenges such as doing 7 star terra raids and goes off on different adventures, and he gets worried and protective and the rest of the bb elite 4 find it cute and funny

Hope this is what you asked for. I'm kinda bad at writing this stuff 😅

Tag along | Drayton x Reader

Pokémon Scarlett and Violet Indigo Disk DLC Spoilers ahead!

After one to many raids where you get hurt. Drayton decided to finally ask you to let him come with you. Though things didn't go exactly as he had hopped.

Warnings: Small argument, Fluff, protective Drayton

SPOILER WARNING: No spoiler warning. Unless you don't know character names

“Drayton, I'm not so sure about this…” Your voice cut through the silence of the BB League room. Drayton had asked you completely out of the blue to let him tag along on your next raid. Which happened to be a black crystal 7star. “You’ve never even done a raid before.”

Leaning against the table, he simply turns his head and smiles, his pearly fangs flashing at you for a moment before pleading his case. “So? I’m a fast learner, I have good Pokémon too, gave you a challenge, didn’t I? Plus, you make one hell of a teacher.”

“True I do.” A snarky smile crosses your face for a moment, the sound of Crispin snickering in the corner at the self-confidence. “But even if I could show you about raid battling. I'm going to a 7 star… these aren't exactly teaching material. Especially given what's inside the crystal.”

“What’s inside? A larger than average Scorbunny? If so Drayton really should go.” Lacey teased, prodigy Drayton’s face with a gleeful smile. His own face scowled slightly at the remark.

“Maybe it’s an angry Trapinch coming back to taunt him! That would make for a spicy dish!” Crispin added, spinning his pan around.

Drayton’s head snapped up, and he stared at his fiery friend. “We do not talk about the Trapinch man! My ass still has NOT recovered from it… neither had my ego.”

“Think more… giant psychic mouse thing with serious anger issues.” You admit holding back the laugh that just wanted to leave your lungs.

“Well, that wasn’t what I expected… But hey! That's never stopped me before. Don’t forget which one of us helped you with the legendary hunt.” Drayton pestered, still clutching onto any string he can, to convince you to let him come. Anything to give him that edge up on you, if the dragon egg eyes won’t work. Then good old fashion pleading will have to do - and he’s about 5 seconds from doing that.

“Drayton, I love you, but I can't bring myself to let you come with me on this one! If it was a 4 star then yeah totally. But this is huge! These sorts of raids, I can't bring someone so inexperienced into the palace. I wouldn’t even bring Kieran!” You argued, it was no surprise that your pleas fell upon stubborn ears.

“That’s exactly why I want to go with you! It pains me whenever you come back from one of your raid trips hurt… or bruised. And I can't help but think to myself that I could have done something to help you. Take the load off of you!” His voice cracked slightly, not out of sadness or hurt, but more out of the fact he couldn’t do something to protect you. Drayton knows you can handle yourself, you’ve proven that to him on many occasions. But at the end of the day, you are still his treasure, and he wants to protect you, needs to. “Just let me come along this once! If I cause you problems, I’ll never ask again, just please humour me.”

Before you could even give him a response, Lacey’s voice cut through the tension, it was soft-spoken but clear. “Come on, let him… let him.”

“SHHH. It’s getting good…” Crispin's equally soft voice cut after hers, somehow eating popcorn. Where did he get that, why are you asking? He’s the chef, not me.

“Can you four stop bickering. You are ruining my concentration.” Amary’s scolded, the sound of her pocket watch snapping closed followed her voice. “In case you 3 have forgotten, we have a meeting to get to with the director. You have 5 minutes, don’t be tardy.” 

Amary’s left the room not long after. The 4 of you left dumbfounded in the room, it wasn't until Drayton’s voice chimed up again. “Okay, I was not the only one who had no idea she was in the room, right?”

“I think she spawned in?” Crispin answered with a question of his own.

“How long has she been here? I've been here all morning? Did she drink an invisibility potion… What does she know that we don’t?” Lacey’s brain scratched as well.

“I think it's like a Spinarak thing. If you stand still, they can’t see you.” Your fellow companions laugh at your remark, it's a dumb reason, but what isn’t. During the laughter, you take your chance to leave. Grabbing your bag and heading for the door, only for the sound of it shutting in your face to follow. Peering up, you notice Drayton’s somehow moved from the other side of the room to close the door. His face was one of worry. He couldn't keep eye contact with you, anytime he tried, he just looked back at the door then at you again; as if silently asking you to let him come with you. His face reminded you of the first time he admitted he loved you. That silent protective plea of his. Never spoken through words. With a deep sigh of defeat, you take a step back from the door and stretch your hand out towards it. “After you, dragon boy.”

“YES! I WIN!” Drayton proclaimed jumping up for a moment fist in the air victorious. Lacey elbowed him directly in the ribs moments later, Crispin crying of laughter on the floor trying desperately not to whack himself in the face with his frying pan. “Ow right, right. Thank you, love! NOW LET'S GO KICK SOME MOUSE BUTT!”

Mmm, coming to Rant about SV Tera Raids cause fuck them.

There are no... Real spoikers but on the offchance this will be tagged as Spoils just in case.

Tera Raids

I fucking hate them.

They took Gigantimax and Gigamax raids and screwed it over HARD.

Not only do they give a stupid penalty- its broken as FUCK

In G-Raids, if pokemon fainted 3 times, you are out of the den. Very fair and all imo cause it was balanced.

Tera raids? For everyone pokemon fainted its A MINUTE PENALTY instead of speeding up the timer or giving you a similar kick? It outrights deducts A FULL FUCKING MINUTE out of a roughly 5 minute battle.

Not only that but becayse of hoe slow the game it as times. The entire team of 4? Coukd be wiped out entirely.

NOT TO MENTION THE SHIELDS.

I get it to be a fair bit stronger but FUCK YOU it should NOT regenerate fucking a QUARTER OF THEIR FUCKING HEALTH

And whats also worse????

When it Negates Negative Effects? It can also brush aside any effects your team has built up in the SAME FUCKING TURN

Its BULLSHIT, its MALARKEY.L

The raids- especially level 4 and up- are extremely fucking broken and unfair for anybody to do! Its fucking stupid!!

I had to rant cause omg you can only win 1 out of the 7-10 raids you do because of a the above not to mention Lag and connection issues >:(

[segimaru]

My neurodivergent ass trying to explain tera raid meta to my friend in VRChat

[emberglowfox]

me and the homies watching the tera raid boss we’ve been wailing on for 10 minutes randomly regain 2/3 its health for no reason

[midnakoopa]

Shoutout to this motherfucker (affectionate) who spent the whole fight raising their stats and then one-shotted Cinderace.

Also shoutout to the person with the Espathra for Feather Dancing it to -6.

Hisuian Decidueye Tera Raid

Last week Alistar and I tried defeating/catching Hisuian Decidueye in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's Tera Raids, but it was super difficult! It felt like an hour or two went by super fast without making much progress! ...Eventually we did both end up getting one, but it was very difficult. OvO; So here we are in a little moment of defeat!

Kinda unfair for Tera Raid Battles to be timed but all the moves take forever to complete.

Cloyster used Icicle Spear!

5-second attack animation

5-second attack animation

5-second attack animation

5-second attack animation

5-second attack animation

The Pokémon was hit 5 times!

It's not very effective.

Ceruledge used Bitter Blade!

3-second attack animation.

It's super effective!

*tries to choose my next attack*

Cloyster removed all negative effects from itself!

*tries to choose my next attack again*

Cloyster is gathering its energy!

(That's nice, but let me choose my attack, please.)

Terastalize your Pokémon to stop Cloyster!

(I can't even do that yet.)

Cloyster stole some of your Tera Orb's charge!

(Okay, I get it already. Just let me attack!)

*knocks like 2% off Cloyster's HP*

Cloyster used Supersonic!

Ceruledge became confused!

*finally gets to make an attack without being interrupted for once*

5-second Terastalization animation

*bird noises*

Ceruledge is confused!

Ceruledge used Flare Blitz!

3-second attack animation that now takes 5 seconds because I'm terastalized

*moves the health bar by 5% now instead of 2%*

Ceruledge was damaged by the recoil.

Cloyster used Shell Smash!

Cloyster's Defense fell!

Cloyster's Sp. Def. fell!

Cloyster's Attack sharply rose!

Cloyster's Sp. Atk. sharply rose!

Cloyster's Speed sharply rose!

Cloyster used Icicle Spear!

(Wait, why does it get to move twice in a row?)

25+ seconds of being attacked

A tremendous energy is gathering! There's not much time left!

(Gee, I wonder why that is...)

Like, the bugs are annoying, but this is worse. You can't even turn off the battle animations, even for regular battles.

At least the music slaps. Thank you, Toby Fox.

[calamitaswrath]

I swear, hosting Tera Raids in Scarlet/Violet that require the players to even think the slightest bit about the matchup is an ordeal and a half...

It's like - yes, I know this Pokémon is tera bug, but it is still a fire type with Flash Fire for its ability. Please don't bring your own fire types. Or: I know this is a tera steel Garchomp, but it's still a Garchomp. Don't bring your Gengar, Typhlosion, Koraidon, or own Garchomp, they're gonna be useless. Or the people constantly bringing Charizard. To every single raid. Regardless of whether it's good or not. And more often than not, it is useless, because Charizard is awful.

[missyuwu]

Whooo’s that Pokémon? It’s volca- what

[dondozorider]

I'm convinced this is not its true form and it actually is some type of eldritch abomination once its powered up or something. It's too cute to be the cause of paradox pokemon and the tera crystal phenomenon. Also, its dlc is called the Indigo Disk and I truly believe Geeta is going to have a major role in it. There's indigo in her design and Glimmora. I feel like they made her team bad on purpose because she may have ties to Terapagos (disk legendary) and hasn't shown her true power yet. Geeta may have regretted her involvement with Area Zero and thus may try to stop this turtle legendary which may make her out to be a semi-villain. Iah be reaching so hard but look at her design and how it relates back to the Indigo disk.

MEWTWO RAID PSA

I just beat the Mewtwo raid with some Discord folks! Here’s how we won:

4 Mews, all Tera Bug

1 Phys Attacker with Silver Powder, using Struggle Bug, Swords Dance, Leech Life, X-Scissor (PP backup)

1 Phys Attacker with Light Clay, using Light Screen, Struggle Bug, Swords Dance, Leech Life

2 Healers (idk items), with Pollen Puff, Life Dew, Struggle Bug, and Misty Terrain

DO NOT BOTHER WITH SPECIAL ATTACKERS/ACID SPRAY- you’ll lose fighting against his Calm Mind SpD buffs. Plus, physical attackers mean you get access to Leech Life

From Turn 1, always have Light Screen up. Keep a close eye on it. Everyone else should spam Struggle Bug until his SpA is negative. Once that happens, attackers transition to x3 Swords Dance and then Leech Life. Healers are on heal duty and should keep Struggle Bugging otherwise.

When you break the shield, he’ll try to Rest (just once). Make sure you have Misty Terrain up right before the shield breaks to cancel this out.

For prep, max out your HP stat, attackers max out Attack, healers max out physical Defense. Fully PP Up Leech Life and Life Dew.

We won with a comfortable margin, but there’s little room for error here (we lost a healer to a crit but were still fine). Make sure Misty Terrain is up and do not bother with Special Attackers- everyone is hyping up Acid Spray and Nasty Plot and it’s too slow.

Best of luck!!

Is there a pattern for when the blissey raids come back?? I miss them. very good source of candy and my first raid build was exclusively for blissey raids. then they ended.

my new raid mons are annihilape and iron hands. Need to figure out other good mons for raids tho bc the 6 star tera raids that feature birds are a problem.

also wasted bottle caps and an ability capsule to make a second annihilape because 6 star breloom likes to use spore and sleep is bull crap.
