You can call me a madman for this but I found the Mewtwo Raid among the 6*/7* to be the most 'doable' with the assumption that at least one Mew (preferably Bug Tera Type) is present. Since everyone gets Mew, this isn't an excuse for any non-NPC players to not use it tbh. I found that as long I could break the barrier and also debuff Mewtwo (I basically spammed Snarl), my chances to beat Mewtwo were really favorable after 1/2 HP. I also got lucky with dealing damage when Mewtwo would use Rest so it never actually got to heal
Was able to beat it 4 times (out of 8), all with me having a Steel Tera Mew (only had ~20 Bug Tera Crystals so I couldn't change types). 1 Win was with 4 Mews (3 Bug, 1 Steel) and the other 3 Wins had 1 Bug Mew + Steel Mew (me) + 2 NPCs (Paldean Tauros, Gallade, Clefable). The 4 losses was from. All of them had our Mews fainting several times but we still had more than enough to win. I basically spammed Snarl to keep Mewtwo from doing a lot of damage while the other (Bug) Mew set up with Swords Dance + Leech Life to finish off Mewtwo
I found in the past year of doing 6* and 7* raids that the raid pokemon would often attack 3-4 times in a row (I had as much as 8) before I even got make an action (eerily similar to PLA) and I always struggled with these types of raids since I and other people would get oneshotted if the raid pokemon did a set-up move like Swords Dance/Dragon Dance/Bulk Up/etc. The lagging and missing animations in normal 6*/7* was really anooying as well (like having the countdown go from half to '___released its gathered energy' in a span of 10 seconds). All of the other 7* star raids admittedly took me 20+ attempts to beat once (Delphox, Chesnaught, etc)
Having Mewtwo attacking only once per turn (after the initial Calm Mind + Tera Barrier) before/after I made a move was honestly very refreshing and much more manageable since Mew's good enough to tank Ice Beam. I also realllly appreciated the countdown timer being much more generous with Mewtwo since at least for it me it stopped moving much at all once i broke the barrier

early start for me on the DLC 😅
gonna be doing the same strat that I did for SV's story mode and complete the Kitakami Pokedex/reach all of the areas before I complete the story w/ Ogerpon
also I hope its not only me but I've been having legit troubles getting into any Sinistcha raids (5* or 6*), they never seem to load and I always get the 'you weren't able to join' notice >:(

just did the perrin sidestory and damn didn't expect to hear eterna forest again :')
anyone got a milotic raid y'all can hook me up with? its literally the last pokemon i need to complete the Kitakami pokedex (and then an Aipol via Ambipom x Ditto since its a Violet exclusive)
ok i caved in and got milotic (I only have 1 from Sw/Sh lol) and aipom from HOME to complete the pokedex X_X
The mask maker actually didn’t make the masks out of nothing! It said in the story he used the stones he got from Ogerpon’s original partner, meaning that both Ogrepon and her partner are originally from Paldea. This could be the reason that Ogrepon likes the Player Character so much—they remind her of her original trainer and old home.
I love my Ogerpon (DeservesHugs) too damn much >.<
not sure if you got thru the DLC Part 1 yet but I'm very excited to see what Part 2 holds since its an actual continuation unlike SwSh having 2 separate storylines

All right, I caved immediately because I have no self control…
How did I not see the bit about the Blueberry Academy being located in Unova anywhere online, I’m just learning this upon meeting Briar…whatever they have planned for the Gen 5 redux, it’s gonna be good
