    I’ve said it once but I’ll say it one more time:
    Did you know? Flower trick, sprigatito’s final evolution’s signature move, when combined with its 70 base power, guaranteed critical hit, STAB, grass terrastilization, and a super effective type bonus will amount to a total of *420* effective power!

  • @Greyscal3d
    @Greyscal3d ปีที่แล้ว +684

    I think the worst part of the terra raids is the fact that the timer still goes when when playing animations, which you can’t disable. I have lost numerous of these raids simply because the Pokémon knew a move that would hit several times, and I would lose minutes watching the same lay animation 2-5 times per turn every. Goddam. Turn.

    • @raysay1818
      @raysay1818 ปีที่แล้ว +100

      There is so much wrong with raids. The animation take times sucks. The shields are beyond inconsistent like how much damage reduction does it give because it seems random or poorly scaled at the least. The amount of shards you get from a 5-6 star raid is criminal. And also you get interrupt while trying to input a move because the raid boss decided to act instead. Such bull all around they arent fun and I don't know why game freak insisted on re doing the worst thing of sword and shield while making it somehow worse.

    To explain what everyone else has already ranted: If she led with Glimmora and used Kingambit as an ace she'd legit be comparable to some of the series harder champions. In fact there's entire videos dedicated to reorganizing Geeta's entire team from movesets to abilities and ordering to make her as difficult as possible.

    I'm glad Jacob realized that when it came to the ending Champion battle(s), the full team(s) of Geeta & Nemona have a shared weakness to Fighting types (Avalugg, Kingambit & Glimmora + Lycanroc, Dudunsparce, & Orthworm {technically Meowscarada too depending on the starter}). The only thing to it though is that unlike Nemona, Geeta has countermeasures against such weakness: Espathra, Veluza, Gogoat's Play Rough, Kingambit's Zen Headbutt, & Glimmora's Dazzling Gleam

    On the topic of farming tera shards, I’ve personally found it most effective to use belly drum iron hands on 3/4 star raids with CPU for the sake of farming shards. It is still hell though :)

    Don't get me wrong, I just fiished this video and I love it, but man I just wish that this challenge run (or really any challenge run/nuzlocke) would actually go the whole way and complete the game rather than just stopping at one third of the game.
    Like there's still two more paths and the final boss of the game left to go but the way every single challenge video I've seen makes it out to be, they just don't exist which is kinda frustrating just because of how interesting the challenges of the other parts of the base game are.
