Is anybody else getting tired of Tera Raids?

    I understand this is the game's main gimmick, but I'm just not the biggest of these raids. I don't really like the mechanic itself, and, to be honest, I'm just ready for the DLC and Pokémon HOME compatibility. What about you? Are you enjoying yourselves with everything Game Freak is offering players?
     
    Still feels positively towards Tera Raids. Enjoys speculating on strategies and giving different Pokemon a shot for the next 7-star Tera Raid. Pushes some different Pokemon and moves into the spotlight. How often do things like Houndoom, Dachsbun Howl teams, and Anger Point get any attention? Trained up a Polteageist just to try a ridiculous Weak Armor Skill Swap strategy. Will it work? Probably not. Piqued some curiosity, regardless.

    Will not call them perfect. Prefers less of a real-time element. Would like better indicators for when buff/debuff will occur. Depends heavily on specific moves (Nasty Plot, Swords Dance, Acid Spray, sometimes Screech and Metal Sound/Fake Tears) for nearly every 7-star raid. Whines about some AI partners being dumb (example: status spam while the shield is up) or ill-suited for the raid. Contributes more than the anchors in Sword/Shield did, at least.

    Offered decent grinding raids as of late. Beats the previous themed ones with uninteresting rewards.

    Wishes for other things too, of course. Imagine them releasing a monthly Battle Tower challenge or something. Clear X battles with not-fully evolved Pokemon and get a hat, trainer card background, or something like that. Permits players to complete them any time after their release. Just needs to make the Battle Tower...
     
    I am actually thinking we might stop getting them for a while once HOME drops (and they are out of Hisuian starters in raids now as well).

    I am still waiting desperately for Pokémon HOME compatibility.
     
    My only interest in them is getting HA mons that I don't yet have or in the case of the gen 8 starters catching them in an apriball.
    Aside from that Idc about them. I didn't bother with the Decidueye Raid and I'm gonna ignore the Typhlosion raid as well.
    I already have them with their HA and apriballs.

    I've actually been doing things in Shield instead for a while now and only hop back into Violet when there's a starter raid that's interesting for me, like the Samurott one since I didn't have a HA Samurott before that.
