There are two version-specific Pokémon up for grabs during the event: Scarlet players can grab Slither Wing, while Violet players will be hunting for Iron Moth.

Several Tera Raid events have also now ended with the announcement of Slither Wing and Iron Moth, including the Mewtwo 7-Star Tera Raid, the 'Prepare the Offense' event, and the 'A Show of Supporters' event.

If only raids were actually fun to play.

@Takoda I enjoy them. It's fun preparing to do the 7-stars with friends, chatting in group about the strategy and such and then one-shotting it.

Raids are fun even with strangers.Sometimes you win other times you lose.When hosting your own Raid you can avoid trolls from ruining your Raid by canceling it if they are picking some obvious bad choice Pokemon which will lead in a failure.

The recent Tera Mewtwo raids showed the extreme end of this.
There weren't many viable builds, all it took was for someone to run a bad build like trying to use Tera Dark Mew instead of Tera Bug Mew, and it could ruin the entire attempt.

It wasn't fun having so many failed attempts with random players as each attempt is considerably time consuming, especially when the majority of high level raids follow the same format: Apply Buffs/Debuffs to max, attack with some means of HP recovery (shell bell, absorbing moves), repeat when raid boss cancels its debuffs or your buffs.

The Mewtwo raids had a unique twist in that it could actually use Rest at a scripted point in the battle, which was pretty mean.

@RupeeClock If you've got noobs in your team you can attack their Pokemon to end it quicker.

Loved the raids in SwordShield, but am really not enjoying them in ScarletViolet.

@Mauzuri That and it takes ages even offline, you’d think it’d go a little faster but nope. You do kind of need to go online to do any of the harder raids and those are a slog too.

@RupeeClock This. A thousand times, this. The Mewtwo raids needed an extreme level of coordination rarely achieved by most of the playerbase because you can't communicate with randoms and because the Tera Raids are a poopfest of glitches, lag, slowdowns and communication errors.
It was pretty frustrating and infuriating losing time after time because your teammate, who brought a Fighting type against Mewtwo, died 4 times in a single turn while the remaining time keeps moving forward when you are stuck between animations

Edit: I do enjoy chatting with friends and preparing for the raids, but once it's done all I feel is the relief of never coming back

The Mewtwo Raid was the hardest raid we had so far,barly comparable with others.
It took me 2 tries, with randoms, to do it on the second day after it was up.
While I understand the Mewtwo was ment to be excepcionaly difficult, in my opinion other 7 star raids should be more difficult then they are.

I see some complain that the raids can be too hard sometimes.

'That and Ogre Oustin', huh? Where's your 'Pokemon games are too easy' complaints now?' Ishihara says as he gets you in a headlock and furiously gives you a noogie.
