If we are lucky then maybe they might do another Pokemon Presents in August.

They didn't do it last year though, but the years before they did do it.

Cheering is such a dogshit mechanic. It almost never works properly when you really need an actual heal. What the fuck do they expect people to do when you only get healed for like 50 HP?

Who the fuck designed this shit?!

Yeah you are right. Cheering in raids is pretty frustrating, especially when it comes to healing. It is super inconsistent, giving a flat 20% of max HP instead of a fixed amount, which can feel useless when you need a desperate save. And the worst part? It eats up an entire turn.

Game Freak definitely could have done a better job balancing it. Maybe making the heal scale better instead of the 20%. It's not reliable at all.

Most of the raid mechanics are kinda ass imo. I’m not a fan of them at all

I just rely on moves like drain punch or have my Pokemon hold leftovers or shell bell for restoring health instead. :/

Even Shell Bell struggles to help when the shield goes up. Basically worthless until you tera.

The raid boss debuffing you seemingly at random is the worst, it never feels consistent. Along with when the shield decides to go up.

Maybe they nerfed these features to focus on their tera mechanic. When the tera type is right, it does feel good to see chunks of HP reduced with every attack tho.

It actually worked in my favor last night when I did the Skeledirge 7*, me (Swampert from ORAS) and 1 (Kyogre) other person were attacking with Water Tera(s) while 2 other people periodically used the Heal/Cheer mechanic and alternating attacks. It ended keeping everyone alive w/o being KO'd and we beat the raid with over a quarter of the time left

btw Thundah Boiiiii

It's so satisfying after a few boosts while you're in tera lmao.

im so salty i missed the Meowscarada 7* raid though, I've been busy with work all week and I missed it by 15 minutes as I logged into the game >:(

I want my grass kitten!!!

I still can’t believe that the only things we really know about Z-A at this point in time are that the game does exist, Mega Evolution is coming back, and the starter trio is highly confusing (to be extremely generous, can also be read as “fucking stupider than hell”), but that just means the inevitable leak season is gonna be absolutely ridiculous

 

[RobertoTheOharaSurvivor]

I now know who I will be choosing as a starter for Z-A...>.<
