Here is a bit of advice for doing 5 star raids. Try to find them in your own world and do them alone, except for Ditto, or really gimmick based mons. The reason is fairly simple: Your teammates are weak and that is awesome. You do not get punished harshly if a teammate dies, and the teammates will not get the Pokémon to go into shield mode early. So you can just sit there for 5 rounds, buff/debuff the enemy and then 1 shot it, instead of trying to slowly wittle down that awful Tera shield. Edit: For the Ditto thing. If you find a Ditto raid, then always use your own Ditto and do the raid online. Ditto can only transform into the Pokémon of the original world that the raid is from. So if transforms and Ditto is the origin Pokémon, it can only use transform and the other 3 can wail on it. Never use a good Pokémon if you are the one who has the Ditto den. Edit: Apparently the Ditto thing is inconsistent, so try it for yourself, see if it works. If it doesn’t then go back to normal strats.
@@Flootenkerp001 The only difference I noticed is that when an AI trainers Pokémon dies, it will not give the time penalty that occurs when a player dies. Other than that it‘s the same from what I can tell.

@@tomvandeklok1376 unfortunately you cannot reset the rewards. Once the raids spawn the rewards for it are already generated and locked in for that raid
Rewards are always the same, HOWEVER you could potentially get three of your friends and help them farm once you figure out the rewards of a raid and continually reset a raid
Thank's so much for putting the pokemon on screen when talking about which ones give the salty herba, other sources I saw just gave the names and it's so much easier to with the images.
I know it wasn't the focus of the video by any means, but this actually confirmed to me that Palafin is in Tera Raids. I wasn't sure if it was, and it's one of the last 4 pokemon I need for dex completion, the others being Scizor, Gimmighoul's Evo and Slowking. 2 trade evos and a collect-a-thon, yay. Anyway, thanks! The Herba Mystica staff's cool too I guess lol
palafin was my last pokemon for the dex too lol! and i found out that they are in raids because i joined one thinking it was just the pre-evo but was pleasantly surprised. i guess the whole gimmick regarding palafin was promoting the new online features so tera raids as well as the union circle :0
I literally spent like 6 hours farming these 5 star raids and got like 12 or so. Safe to say my luck was ass, but those few got me almost all future paradox shiny pokemon. Shiny sandwiches are insane.
The only 6 star raids I have done were for Pokémon I am missing in my deck that I haven’t had time to trade with friends yet (or at least haven’t been playing at the same time). They are 100% not worth it and way too difficult. This was a great video and will be noting down which Pokémon to go for.
thank you so much for simplifying it for us. as someone who has a hard time understanding things more so than others (mainly math) thanks to disorders this really helps alot and i was able to understand perfectly! your such a kind soul for simplifying for us thank you so much
Doing the persekrer trick with a discord server and then just moving your day forward until you get a 6 star salty Mon has helped me get 2 salty in less than 30 minutes so it's been pretty good so far. That's 30 minutes for a shiny basically (maybe multiple)
So in effect, 6* are for extremely powerful pokemon with better baseline stats, 5* for time spent/rewards line out better with less pain especially with the updated shiny sandwich list
Here’s a list i made that has all of the Salty Herba pokemon! Priority are the ones that ONLY can drop salty herba mystica! The others can drop it, alongside other herba mystica as well! Id recommend going for priority mons especially! slowbro-priority Cloyster -priority bronzong -priority Hippoedon -priority Avalugg -priority Greedent -priority Corviknight -priority Coalossal -priority Copperajah -priority orthworm -priority Garganacl -priority Gengar Blissey Glalie Drifblim dondozo palafin cetitan Amoongus Eeleektross
I was just thinking that myself and left a comment about it. I'm not great with the math and probability, but it seems like it would be better to farm the ones that DON'T drop 'every' HM because you may get the wrong HM taking up drop chance 'slots' that would otherwise be ONLY Salty HM.
Thanks so much for this I’m just hopping back into the scene been out for awhile, some peeps tend to be assholes when you don’t know all the perfect moves or have a perfect IV’s, I’m just tryna learn man 😂
5 star and 6 star raids are only hard because of how laggy it is. The health bar just keeps going up and doen and half the time it only lets me pick a move like twice in a full raid encounter
6 star raids are easy IF you got the right pokemon. For example you can solo some 6 star raids with Ghouldengo (Nasty Plot, Metal Sound, Recover, Steel Beam). Yes i tried it and it works nicely, though not on all of them, but some you can cheese solo with it and it will be easier then with other people pokemon fainting. I also recommend pokemon with abilities that give extra immunities such as Flash Fire/Well-Baked Body, Earth Eater/Levitate, Lightingrod/Volt Absorb, Water Absorb/Storm Drain/Dry Skin, Sap Sipper and utilizing pokemon type immunities (ground, steel, normal, ghost, fairy, dark). For example i can solo Water tribe Tauros in my Scarlet game with just Gastrodon (Chilling Water, Recover, Muddy Water, Earth Power (note: for some reason the blue Gastrodon i captured couldn't get Earth Power from memory, even though it should have learn it by lvl up so i had to spend TM for it, but w/e guess another bug in the game code)). And it doesn't matter what tera type the Tauros have, it will usually be able only to hit me with Close Combat, wich reduces his own defenses, and even if i dont have STAB against his tera type, i get random boost with Storm Drain whenever it uses water move on me + defensive drops he does to himself combined with Chilling Water reducing his att power and i gradually become stronger while he gradually become weaker and i get easy wins this way). Gastrodon is basically super good againt any water type tera raids, though if its Water Absorb Vaporeon, i would need different movepool. As for 6 star Amoonguss i also solo it but with my Vital Spirit Annihilate who carry Metronome (Screech, Poison Jab (it has poison tera type), Drain Punch and Rage Fist). I just had 2 amoongus 2x in a row while watching this video and both i soloed. Yes they were 6 star raids and it was faster for me then waiting 5 minutes for a chance for a desired raid to appear at random and then hoping that i will get in. So my advice: simply solo those 6 star raid dens with the right pokemon that completly counters the enemy. If it's not possible, then ye, go match with some people online, it does help if they use brain and use moves that decrease enemy defenses. However be wary that some hidden abilities that certain pokemon might have in the dens may bounce back those moves (Mirror Armor Corviknight for example) or may ignore your allies boosts (Unaware ability for example on Clodsire or Dondozo (normal ability but it might have it)). Knowing this i bring my Skill Swap pokemon to the team (I use Tinkaton because it has great type for most encounters) and i play a support role (turn 1 i get rid of enemy ability, then i use cheers and if i got time i then use either Sword Dance before attacking or straight up attack - you can use Rock Smash to decrease enemy defenses even if they are shielded or drop their attack potentially with Play Rough). So its really up to you to prepare a solid little army of pokemon that you could use for various scenarios. As for people bringing Perrserker... if you never used it before.... please don't bring it. Many people doesn't even have it's hidden ability unlocked via Ability Patch and they think they will make it work. And please note to bring pokemon that won't take supereffective hits from the enemy's regular typing because it WILL be using those moves. Ignore it's tera type because in most cases they will not even have Tera Blast move (it's a chance that they might use it, but you can guarantee they will use their regural STAB). I am saying this because i am tired of people brining fightng types against things like Girafarig who clearly has psychic STAB and WILL destroy you easily even if its tera type was dark, rock or normal. In most cases reducing enemy defenses by 4~6 stages and buffing yourself with Belly Drum for example will most likely work AS LONG AS one of the people uses brain and use defensive cheer turn 1 and heal allies up on turn 2. You dont have to be the star of the show with big dps that one shots. Be the star who keep team alive so they can kill it for you. If all 4 people use belly drums turn 1, chances are one or more of them will die right away. Defenses up first and keep at least 1 defense cheer ready as back up after the boss removes "abilities and stat changes" from you and your allies. Hope these informations help you guys because imo 6 star raids are not hard if you are prepared properly and know what to do when.
the hardest raid i had so far was a 6 tera electro Salamence with Moxie. it took me a lot of luck to beat it. especially with the bugged tera shield reviving it >:(
Tbh for me six star raids is the go. Simply because six star raids is much easier to find on map and I can just reset if I don’t get salty mysitca. Also I don’t really feel like six star raids are that difficult with correct setup.
I agree I’ve been soloing them consistently I think people just got spoiled by S&S where you could just solo any raid with any Pokemon and now there’s only one or two that can solo most and you can solo any of you type match correctly with trained Pokemon.
II have only managed to beat 2 of the 24 ish 5* raids I have tried thus far because either I get doodoo npcs, nobody who joined the raid has a decent pokémon and we all die, no one ever terastalizes to break the shield it's actual hell.
This was pretty interesting (I love seeing the numbers)! There were just two minor things I was wondering about: 3:07 Probabilty(getting at least 1 salty HM) = Probabilty(getting at least 1 salty HM | being in a raid that gives salty HM) * P(being in a raid that gives salty HM) = 24.308% * 20/99 = 4.911% = 4.911/100 = 1/20.36 (it would just be a bit closer to 1 every 20 raids). Did I get that right? Also (this might be too much detail, but I thought it would be interesting to point it out), the relevant equation here is the law of total probability, which states that for any events A and B we have P(A) = P(A∩B) + P(A∩B^c) (where ∩ is the intersection and B^c is the complement of B). If we define A = getting at least 1 salty HM and B = being in a raid that gives salty HM (which makes B^c = *not* being in a raid that gives salty HM), the probability we want is (also using the fact that P(A∩B) = P(A|B) P(B), where P(A|B) means "the probability of A assuming that B happens" ): P(A) = P(A∩B) + P(A∩B^c) = P(A|B) P(B) + P(A|B^c) P(B^c) = P(A|B) P(B) (because P(A|B^c) = P (getting at least 1 salty HM | *not* being in a raid that gives salty HM ) = 0). That's why we can just ignore the right side of the sum in the previous calculations. 2:00, 2:49, 4:16, 4:41, 5:26 Does every Pokémon has the same probability of showing up in a raid (it's a reasonable assumption, but I'm just not sure of it)? If so, everything checks out. If not, that would change how we compute P(being in a raid that gives the HM we want).
6 star raids can be tough but if you figure out how to beat them it isnt to bad. Austin John Plays has a good video on how to consistently beat 5 and 6 star raids if you are looking.
i was ripping my hair out trying to do 6 Stars for the salty Herbs. i was looking for a possible 6 star i could do with my 2 Box arts and i could maybe scrape by one every hour which didnt even Guarantee me one. After i saw your video i was able to scout out the 5 Stars i need and got my 4 Salty Herbs in like 2 hours which is insane. Thanks my guy!
Great video. It’s probably worth mentioning that as long as you aren’t the raid host you still get the rewards if the raid fails. You don’t get the fancy screen telling you, but the items appear in your bag after the raid. I know this works for 6*, I haven’t confirmed for 5* though.
I would love to know the math on a 3 segment shiny dudunsparce 🤣 would make for a cool video going over rare variations of Pokémon with there shiny odds.
Herbs Mystica are nice but not even really necessary for shiny hunting. Already with mass outbreaks and the picnic reset you can get a shiny in 15 mins. Ofc the one advantages of herbs is that they can cause extra outbreaks to spawn
Raids have fixed rewards after appearing, so if you have friends or 2nd switch that can find raid with salty HM as reward you can farm for it indefinitely, host will have to reset and won't get any tho
I'm glad hero and savior Golden God is able to onehit or two hit 6star raids together with his buddy iron hands, as much as I wanted herba mystical I got 2 in 10 raids but since I wanted an ability patch even more 6* was the way to go and after my 7th 6 star I finally got it and cloned it a lot, sad that we can't clone ingredients, since they are worth more then any clonable item imo.
Personally with 6 stars being the only marked raid on a map and thiers only a handful of 5 star raids on any given map meaning youd have to search literally all of them to be sure I really only search 6 stars. I can see why you'd say only 5 stars are worth it for the average player but I Personally think until 5 stars are identifiable on the map its more efficient to refresh 6 stars and find a way to solo it before turning over every raid on a map hoping to find the right mon and hoping it drops enough herba to be worth the effort.
6* raids can be pretty easily soloed with something like Gholdengo or Iron Hands. For Gholdengo: Nasty Plot 3 times, Metal Sound 3 times, recover as needed and then Hex/Steel Beam depending on what you're fighting. For Iron Hands (holding Sitrus Berry), Belly Drum and then Close Combat.
I recommend using drain punch over close combat. You fully heal after one turn, you don’t have the defense drops, and you can replace your item with something like booster energy
Realistically going five raids without getting one will be VERY common, but you can absolutely maximize your chances with the nine Pokémon I speak about, I feel you though the exact same happens to me!
It’s very annoying for me to do raid battles bc I don’t have Nintendo switch online and I already used 1 week free so I NEED lvl 100 Pokémon but to easily do this i need exp candy which you get from Tera raid battles so I’m kinda screwed
I’ve done 12 5 star raids including 1 Blissey and have only got 1 herba mystica. It was not from the Blissey but an ice type bronzong I think. My goal is to get a level 100 fully ev trained with perfect iv’s perfect nature shiny Appleton. It is my favourite Pokémon.
The guaranteed rewards may have changed since the patch. I got a single bug shard fro 6 separate 5* raids while I was grinding earlier this week. Demoralising.
The hardest part of 6* online raid battles is joining them lol. To flat out say to avoid 6* raids is wrong. Not all 6* raids are made equal. Avoid annihilape and dragons. Target flying, steel and grass types bc pokemons like Skeledrige (torch song), iron hands and Miraidon are great counters. And lastly, for the love of god, use the shell bell. Good luck farming these things.
So if the first 9 Pokemon on that list have a chance at giving ANY HM, and there are a set amount of 'slots' for items to drop, would it be preferable to farm the latter 11 Pokemon for SPECIFICALLY Salty HM??
I don't understand the struggle with these raids. I've soloed a few sixes now too with no problems. I think most people aren't aware of how cheering works. It's a pretty big buff for the go all out, and the heal one also heals status like if you've been sleeped. Just max out your legendary's EVs, IVs and give it a proper nature, level it to 100, give it a good held item and a wide variety of moves, and make sure you're fighting dens that you can beat with a super effective hit on the TERA type. Not the regular type. That's irrelevant. Have like 3-4 fully trained level 100 mons that cover a wide variety of types. For the occasional raid that you lose because the AI isn't doing helpful things, try it online. But imo, solo is easier because when your teammates die, you don't lose time and the AI always keeps up defensive cheers automatically.
Been playing since release. Finished like 300 raids solo and many 6 never got one salty anyway. Game freak deserves kyoani for atrocity that are terra raids

Here is a bit of advice for doing 5 star raids. Try to find them in your own world and do them alone, except for Ditto, or really gimmick based mons. The reason is fairly simple: Your teammates are weak and that is awesome. You do not get punished harshly if a teammate dies, and the teammates will not get the Pokémon to go into shield mode early. So you can just sit there for 5 rounds, buff/debuff the enemy and then 1 shot it, instead of trying to slowly wittle down that awful Tera shield.
Edit: For the Ditto thing. If you find a Ditto raid, then always use your own Ditto and do the raid online. Ditto can only transform into the Pokémon of the original world that the raid is from. So if transforms and Ditto is the origin Pokémon, it can only use transform and the other 3 can wail on it. Never use a good Pokémon if you are the one who has the Ditto den.
Edit: Apparently the Ditto thing is inconsistent, so try it for yourself, see if it works. If it doesn’t then go back to normal strats.
That's... actually really smart, remembering that.

Knowing this i bring my Skill Swap pokemon to the team (I use Tinkaton because it has great type for most encounters) and i play a support role (turn 1 i get rid of enemy ability, then i use cheers and if i got time i then use either Sword Dance before attacking or straight up attack - you can use Rock Smash to decrease enemy defenses even if they are shielded or drop their attack potentially with Play Rough).
So its really up to you to prepare a solid little army of pokemon that you could use for various scenarios.
As for people bringing Perrserker... if you never used it before.... please don't bring it. Many people doesn't even have it's hidden ability unlocked via Ability Patch and they think they will make it work.
And please note to bring pokemon that won't take supereffective hits from the enemy's regular typing because it WILL be using those moves. Ignore it's tera type because in most cases they will not even have Tera Blast move (it's a chance that they might use it, but you can guarantee they will use their regural STAB). I am saying this because i am tired of people brining fightng types against things like Girafarig who clearly has psychic STAB and WILL destroy you easily even if its tera type was dark, rock or normal.
In most cases reducing enemy defenses by 4~6 stages and buffing yourself with Belly Drum for example will most likely work AS LONG AS one of the people uses brain and use defensive cheer turn 1 and heal allies up on turn 2. You dont have to be the star of the show with big dps that one shots. Be the star who keep team alive so they can kill it for you. If all 4 people use belly drums turn 1, chances are one or more of them will die right away.
Defenses up first and keep at least 1 defense cheer ready as back up after the boss removes "abilities and stat changes" from you and your allies.
Hope these informations help you guys because imo 6 star raids are not hard if you are prepared properly and know what to do when.
the hardest raid i had so far was a 6 tera electro Salamence with Moxie. it took me a lot of luck to beat it. especially with the bugged tera shield reviving it >:(
I will not ignore the Flamethrower on a koraidon at 2:46, wtf
Glad to see you back my guy!
I love numbers. Thank you for this video
Tbh for me six star raids is the go. Simply because six star raids is much easier to find on map and I can just reset if I don’t get salty mysitca. Also I don’t really feel like six star raids are that difficult with correct setup.
I agree I’ve been soloing them consistently I think people just got spoiled by S&S where you could just solo any raid with any Pokemon and now there’s only one or two that can solo most and you can solo any of you type match correctly with trained Pokemon.
*cries in no internet to do online terra battles*
II have only managed to beat 2 of the 24 ish 5* raids I have tried thus far because either I get doodoo npcs, nobody who joined the raid has a decent pokémon and we all die, no one ever terastalizes to break the shield it's actual hell.
This video saved my sanity.
no chance there's a 24% chance of gettin an herb from a 5 star raid. i've done at least 50 of em and have gotten 5 herbs total
I've done many 5 star raids and no herba mystica. Hopefully my luck turns around soon.
This was pretty interesting (I love seeing the numbers)! There were just two minor things I was wondering about:
3:07 Probabilty(getting at least 1 salty HM) = Probabilty(getting at least 1 salty HM | being in a raid that gives salty HM) * P(being in a raid that gives salty HM) = 24.308% * 20/99 = 4.911% = 4.911/100 = 1/20.36 (it would just be a bit closer to 1 every 20 raids). Did I get that right?
Also (this might be too much detail, but I thought it would be interesting to point it out), the relevant equation here is the law of total probability, which states that for any events A and B we have P(A) = P(A∩B) + P(A∩B^c) (where ∩ is the intersection and B^c is the complement of B). If we define A = getting at least 1 salty HM and B = being in a raid that gives salty HM (which makes B^c = *not* being in a raid that gives salty HM), the probability we want is (also using the fact that P(A∩B) = P(A|B) P(B), where P(A|B) means "the probability of A assuming that B happens" ):
P(A) = P(A∩B) + P(A∩B^c) = P(A|B) P(B) + P(A|B^c) P(B^c) = P(A|B) P(B) (because P(A|B^c) = P (getting at least 1 salty HM | *not* being in a raid that gives salty HM ) = 0). That's why we can just ignore the right side of the sum in the previous calculations.
2:00, 2:49, 4:16, 4:41, 5:26 Does every Pokémon has the same probability of showing up in a raid (it's a reasonable assumption, but I'm just not sure of it)? If so, everything checks out. If not, that would change how we compute P(being in a raid that gives the HM we want).
Just breed the right Goldingho and you can do a lot of the 6 star raids solo. Way easier cause when NPC pokemon faint it doesn't effect the timer.
6 star raids can be tough but if you figure out how to beat them it isnt to bad. Austin John Plays has a good video on how to consistently beat 5 and 6 star raids if you are looking.
i was ripping my hair out trying to do 6 Stars for the salty Herbs.
i was looking for a possible 6 star i could do with my 2 Box arts and i could maybe scrape by one every hour which didnt even Guarantee me one. After i saw your video i was able to scout out the 5 Stars i need and got my 4 Salty Herbs in like 2 hours which is insane. Thanks my guy!
You don't need salty any will work
@@kiranearitachi you need salty for the perfect sandwich (shiny rate AND encounter rate up)
I just found out that, you don't actually need salty Herbs to make the recipes. It works with every kind of herb.
I believe one Salty Herba Mystica controls the encounter power but yep you can then use any other, I use Spicy and each time it works
@@PDWinnall any 2 herbs will work
@@kiranearitachi For shining power yes, but you need Salty so you also get the encounter power
I did a 6* raid earlier that gave me 2 Salty Mystica, 1 Ability Patch, and 1 Bottle Cap.
Completely stacked rewards.
Great video. It’s probably worth mentioning that as long as you aren’t the raid host you still get the rewards if the raid fails. You don’t get the fancy screen telling you, but the items appear in your bag after the raid. I know this works for 6*, I haven’t confirmed for 5* though.
I hope they buff the drop rates on six star raids with a patch. It’s ridiculous we get nothing for them
I would love to know the math on a 3 segment shiny dudunsparce 🤣 would make for a cool video going over rare variations of Pokémon with there shiny odds.
.04 times 1/4096 so this decimal 0.0000097656 it doesn't come out to a clean fraction so thats the best I got
@@BorderFreak thanks! I figured it was something crazy lol
...I didn't know you could catch palafin in tera raids
Herbs Mystica are nice but not even really necessary for shiny hunting. Already with mass outbreaks and the picnic reset you can get a shiny in 15 mins.
Ofc the one advantages of herbs is that they can cause extra outbreaks to spawn
thanks dude, great vid!
Literally exactly after I watched this video I found a 5 star cloister den and got salty first try
This was very helpful
Are the rewards static? Or can I save in front and reset if I don’t get the desired drop from the Salty Herba Pokémon?
The rewards are decided when the raid den spawns, so they are static
Finally, a useful video of getting this shit. I think I may have better odds just grinding for the shiny charm tho 😭 we'll see
TBH the benefit of the chance to get Ability patches defo makes 6 star raids much more tempting ahahaha
Absolutely, avoid Pokémon like Salamence that can set up on you with Dragon Dance it has ruined my life the last few days!
Raids have fixed rewards after appearing, so if you have friends or 2nd switch that can find raid with salty HM as reward you can farm for it indefinitely, host will have to reset and won't get any tho
And I'm over here with 25+ 5 star raid completions and not a single herba mystica
Yesterday I got 3 salty herbs from one avalugg 😂
It was a 5* too 😳
I’ve been trying to get it for 3 hours now 🥲
thx amazing , 3 herba mystica in15 min
I'm glad hero and savior Golden God is able to onehit or two hit 6star raids together with his buddy iron hands, as much as I wanted herba mystical I got 2 in 10 raids but since I wanted an ability patch even more 6* was the way to go and after my 7th 6 star I finally got it and cloned it a lot, sad that we can't clone ingredients, since they are worth more then any clonable item imo.
Personally with 6 stars being the only marked raid on a map and thiers only a handful of 5 star raids on any given map meaning youd have to search literally all of them to be sure I really only search 6 stars.
I can see why you'd say only 5 stars are worth it for the average player but I Personally think until 5 stars are identifiable on the map its more efficient to refresh 6 stars and find a way to solo it before turning over every raid on a map hoping to find the right mon and hoping it drops enough herba to be worth the effort.
Great video bro. Great statistics.
You are able to make sparkling 3 and encounter 3 with any 2 herb mystica, not just 2 salty
Look at the pinned comment from a few days ago
6* raids can be pretty easily soloed with something like Gholdengo or Iron Hands. For Gholdengo: Nasty Plot 3 times, Metal Sound 3 times, recover as needed and then Hex/Steel Beam depending on what you're fighting. For Iron Hands (holding Sitrus Berry), Belly Drum and then Close Combat.
I recommend using drain punch over close combat. You fully heal after one turn, you don’t have the defense drops, and you can replace your item with something like booster energy
@@JWillicus I use both, i spam drain punch but if i see i'm going to die anyway i will use close combat. Or if the timer is very low
@@minatonamikaze6400 not bad at all, I opt for force palm bc of stab and high paralysis chance
Sometimes I get like 3 herba mystica in a raid and other times I get like 0 for a long time
Realistically going five raids without getting one will be VERY common, but you can absolutely maximize your chances with the nine Pokémon I speak about, I feel you though the exact same happens to me!
So many people that just aren't ready and setup for these raids always join five stars and it does my head in 🙄
This is would be helpful if the online raids available weren’t 100% dracopult/hydreigon, and it didn’t take 2+ minutes to be able to refresh the feed
It’s very annoying for me to do raid battles bc I don’t have Nintendo switch online and I already used 1 week free so I NEED lvl 100 Pokémon but to easily do this i need exp candy which you get from Tera raid battles so I’m kinda screwed
I wish they’d add the option to kick a player from the queue and increase the lobby time to like 5 minutes
I spent 6 hours trying to get salty mystica and now I know why I wasn't getting them..
Refreshing Tera feed would be helpful if my lag wasn’t so massive. Takes 5 minutes for the refresh button to light up 😢
Yas I was waiting for this !
THaank you soooo much dude!! Taking ss for sharing!
I’ve done 12 5 star raids including 1 Blissey and have only got 1 herba mystica. It was not from the Blissey but an ice type bronzong I think. My goal is to get a level 100 fully ev trained with perfect iv’s perfect nature shiny Appleton. It is my favourite Pokémon.
My next 5 star was a drifblim and I got 2 sour and 1 sweet. I can’t believe that just happened
Thank you for your hard work!
Didnt even know they were in the game
With a very optimized level 100 Pokemon? I’ve been able to solo 3 6 star raids.
its crazy how i went from almost breaking my switch bc of 5 star raids then the next day im one shotting 6 star raids
what changed? btw are 5 star raids available if i dont finish the story?
i've done like 20+ raids and got 1 singh herba mystica. i hope this vid helps
Hey PD! I just got 2 sweet herbas from pawmot
only reason to go for 6/7 star raids is the charzard you can get
The guaranteed rewards may have changed since the patch. I got a single bug shard fro
6 separate 5* raids while I was grinding earlier this week. Demoralising.
Oh, I didn't know you could get palafin in raids. Nice.
What sucks is that you have to be really fast when joining raids and gf thought it was a good idea to put a timer on the refresh button
The hardest part of 6* online raid battles is joining them lol. To flat out say to avoid 6* raids is wrong. Not all 6* raids are made equal. Avoid annihilape and dragons. Target flying, steel and grass types bc pokemons like Skeledrige (torch song), iron hands and Miraidon are great counters. And lastly, for the love of god, use the shell bell. Good luck farming these things.
So if the first 9 Pokemon on that list have a chance at giving ANY HM, and there are a set amount of 'slots' for items to drop, would it be preferable to farm the latter 11 Pokemon for SPECIFICALLY Salty HM??
Thank you for the advice!!!
I don't understand the struggle with these raids. I've soloed a few sixes now too with no problems. I think most people aren't aware of how cheering works. It's a pretty big buff for the go all out, and the heal one also heals status like if you've been sleeped. Just max out your legendary's EVs, IVs and give it a proper nature, level it to 100, give it a good held item and a wide variety of moves, and make sure you're fighting dens that you can beat with a super effective hit on the TERA type. Not the regular type. That's irrelevant. Have like 3-4 fully trained level 100 mons that cover a wide variety of types. For the occasional raid that you lose because the AI isn't doing helpful things, try it online. But imo, solo is easier because when your teammates die, you don't lose time and the AI always keeps up defensive cheers automatically.
also you can just buff/debuff like crazy and one shot, since the ai won't do enough damage to trigger the shield, and other effects.
@@vivil2533 Yep. They never attack first turn either. It's always just a defense buff. So you get 100% free setup turn 1.
@@Zynnix so what you're saying is "belly drum"
Been playing since release. Finished like 300 raids solo and many 6 never got one salty anyway. Game freak deserves kyoani for atrocity that are terra raids
