PSA: A New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Battle Is Now Live

Yeesh. Priorities, Gamefreak...

After three hours of playing scarlet I got really annoyed by the performance of the game. My pokemon are lvl 20 max.

I’m wondering if anyone knows, am I able to join these tera raid battles anyway? Or will I hold back the team too much?

@Friendly I don’t think you can join a 5 star battle before beating the league but this is a pretty easy fight with blissy so you won’t hold them back

This is the first pokemon game I started and haven't wanted to finish. I've had both copies since day one and am only halfway through. I've been playing consistently since Gen 3.

It is a really disappointing game. I hope Game Freak reads the negative feedback and really goes back to the grindstone to make the next one the quality they used to be known for.

@Cashews I agree . I think I would be more forgiving of the performance if the visuals were better . I finished the game but it felt like such a chore at times .

They act like the games run just fine.

@LikelySatan Yeah because the bug fixing team is also in charge of the various events already baked into the system and don't need anyone to manage as its all on a timer.

@WallyWest ...there's a bug fixing team?

@Friendly level 20 won’t work out however if you surprise trade you may end up with Pokémon of higher levels you can use based on badge’s. Or you can find someone who you can trade with a Pokémon you caught level it up then trade it back for your participation.

@Tantani @wouldyoukindly @undefinedlegacy thank you all for your response. I’ll see what I can get done this weekend, maybe with help of a friend. Or are you going to play a lot this weekend where I perhaps can hop on for a raid battle or two?

And they think that this is the quality content that attracts players to continue roaming the pokewasteland for years to come

As a competitive player I'm loving this event, I'm raking in so many exp candies and tera shards, they're gonna come in handy when building future teams

@Friendly I’m going to play sometime this week. The last blissy terra raid gave so many shards and XP candies. Any particular builds your thinking? I want to say the azumaril build is pretty stock choice. And the Appleton has been wonderful too.
