    As the title states. Looking for a Friend Ball to capture the Mightiest Mark Decidueye in, so only have until 23:59 UTC Sunday to get it.

    Link to my Trade Sheet is my signature. Will give at least 3 HA Aprimons for an Apriball given the relative scarcity.

    I've been resetting Scarlet's auction like crazy looking for one for ya, but no luck so far... I hope I can find one for ya if you haven't managed to get one already yourself.

    Ah thanks, that's too much! Its not done, but I've arranged a trade for one tonight (the main hold up being my slowness at breeding).
    Let me know if you want to raid together at all this weekend, I'm set with people for Decidueye tonight though
     
    Would we be raiding for something specific? Cause I've already caught a Decidueye of my own. (much easier than that Greninja was to catch, that's for sure)
    Let me know if you need any other Apriballs, I managed to get a few different ones while resetting for the Friend Ball.

    Blissey event gives out tons of tera shards (and can be shiny). I can get plenty of assists for Decidueye on reddit, just can't decide if I want to use Friend or Moon ball now.
    I'm always down to collect apriballs, and my trade sheet is constantly updating (literally haven't done any story progression on a Pokémon game in two weeks bar one Team Star base, just been trading constantly lol)

    I completely forgot about the Blissey event! I really could do with more tera shards in Violet...
    I caught mine in a Moon Ball, it looks really nice with it and would look even better if it were shiny!
    I'm not in the market for any Pokemon at the moment, my Dex has been done for a while now and any shinies I would care about aren't that hard to farm in S/V.
    I just wanted to let you know I've got a few other apriballs in the event you needed one of the ones I've got, share & share alike as they say.

    Yeah Tera Shards are like, pretty much all Blissey gives. So if you wanted to jump in a Union Circle and grind it out, just really need a physical attacker and something to quickly lower its defences - I've been assisting people with my shiny Corviknight.

    I managed to 'crack a few eggs' last night with my Kingambit. Though I'm not sure how well it will do against a Tera Type it can't hit super effectively.

    Get enough Atk boosts and Def drops and a neutral hit will probably but it in range for like a 5HKO once the shield goes up. Iron Hands does the job on a lot of Tera types too

    I've seen those Iron Hands two or three turn OHKO a few times... I've just never really been interested in using them. I usually pull defence when I see one or two
    of 'em on the field.

    Yeah, I only got one to grind that raid with you (Pika? WW? Memory is shot from probably too much Pokémon lol). Found someone willing to do it in Union Circle last night - no codes for each raid, just a way, way too fast prompt when they select 'invite' - and I literally didn't need to do anything, Belly Drum + Drain Punch one-shotted every non-resisted type we did. I basically just added to the timer with the shiny animation for my Corviknight

    Dang, that must've gotten you loads of resources. I believe it was a WW with a specific nature, but I don't remember which one at the moment.
    I'd say these Blissey raids are some of the easiest they've released, I even got to use some of my backup 'mons to battle them successfully.

    Oh yeah, if you have an east beat-down its incredibly easy to amass resources. Because of selfless people resetting the same Decidueye raids I have over 50 Ability Patches now!

    That's actually my favourite thing about these raids - that generally they make people think outside the box with their Pokémon choices. I've been running a shiny Corviknight as a supporter all weekend, and people have been using Bellibolt too which - although an interesting design for sure - otherwise probably doesn't get much use. Likewise Clodsire against Greninja, or Contrary Lurantis as a guaranteed winner against Pikachu. Without knowing the moveset I'm thinking of Scovillain against Samurott next week.

    Damn that's a lot of patches! Even if you don't need them for Pokemon, you can sell 'em for big money!

    I must admit, I'm getting a real kick outa the 7 star raids myself. (even if I've only won the two I've taken part in via luck strats)
    Beating that Greninja after like twenty tries with a Galade solo was sooo worth the feeling I got for actually doing it, worth even more than the 'mon itself!
    I'm only just now hearing about Samurott and I'm already excited about it!

    If I get there, I'm definitely going to try and solo it. Samurrot would be perfect actually, I could re-EV and Patch my shiny Corviknight as its the most likely 'mon to not take a SE hit from it. But I refuse to rush the game too

    I can respect that. It took me two months to finally get through Shield when I first played it, I just wanted to take my time for a change.
    How far in are you? If you don't make it in time, I can always set up a raid for you.

    Done just over half the map. I can fly to the town with the waterfalls because I needed an item for raiding, and beat Larry before heading up Glaseado Mountain, but other than that if you draw a line down the middle of the map I've done the right half.
    Yeah could be fun, I think 2 is probably a nice balance between a 2-turn KO resource-farming strategy and the drama of solo'ing it.

    Neat! Is that just Gym Leaders, or did you mean Team Star & the Herba 'mons as well?
    I still have no strat for Samurrot yet, I tend to figure something out after I get owned by the 'mon a few times first.

    No I've been doing everything as I come across it. I've basically been in that Bamboo forest for a month though - 2 weeks of not playing, then a week of trading and doing the Star base nearby, then raiding.
    Nice, yeah I just go to the reddit gurus as I have no way of testing for obvious reasons. My instincts are good though, I instantly thought of Corviknight and a few people are heavily leaning that way. I kinda hope someone comes out with something really left-field though.

    I'd say as long as you're having a good time with the game that's all that matters, even if it takes a while to beat.
    I hope that whatever it is people come up with as a viable strat involves a Pokemon I've already trained up.
    Not really all that thrilled to have to start from scratch with a rando-mon just to win one raid. But I'll see how it goes.
