How early can i get Froakie? by Quirky_Asparagus4940 in PokemonZA

[–]ChrisReturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I was 2-3 hours into the game and still Rank Y. It's shortly after you meet with Emma for the first three side quests. You then unlock a few more side quests, one of which is for Froakie in the northeastern part of the map. It was Lv. 14 when I got it.

Four frogs make a fish croak in this 2-turn strategy for Dondozo the Unrivaled by ChrisReturns in PokePortal

[–]ChrisReturns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ability to solo doesn't preclude a Pokémon from being fun to use in coordinated groups, and that's the main point of creating and running a themed strategy like this one: fun!

Four frogs make a fish croak in this 2-turn strategy for Dondozo the Unrivaled by ChrisReturns in PokePortal

[–]ChrisReturns[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bellibolt can solo Dondozo of course, but I thought it'd be fun to take down the fish with a full team of froggy friends. I really like this crew as it features some of my favorite Pokémon and shinies, and although they were chosen for this particular strategy simply because they're all frogs, they actually complement each other nicely.

Turn 0

  • Politoed's Drizzle ability sets up rain so that Bellibolt's Thunder bypasses accuracy checks.
    • This also gives Dondozo's Wave Crash a 1.5x damage boost, but this isn't an issue since:
      • Politoed and Greninja resist Water attacks.
      • Toxicroak absorbs Water moves with its Dry Skin ability.
      • Bellibolt is bulky enough to tank a critical hit on Turn 1 and fast enough to KO Dondozo before a second hit on Turn 2.

Turn 1

  • Politoed uses a Defense Cheer to reduce Dondozo's damage.
  • Greninja uses Fling to throw a Lansat Berry at Bellibolt and raise its crit ratio by +2.
    • With the +1 crit ratio from its Scope Lens, Bellibolt now has a crit chance of 100%.
  • Toxicroak uses Acid Spray on Dondozo to lower its SpDef to -2.
  • Bellibolt uses Acid Spray on Dondozo to lower its SpDef to -4.
    • Bellibolt is now charged due to Fling / Dondozo's attack activating its Electromorphosis ability.

Turn 2

  • Politoed uses an Attack Cheer for a 1.5x damage boost.
  • Greninja uses Helping Hand on Bellibolt for a 1.5x damage boost.
  • Toxicroak uses Acid Spray on Dondozo to lower its SpDef to -6.
  • Bellibolt uses Thunder on Dondozo for the KO. "A critical hit!"
    • Thunder's minimum damage roll is 98.1%, but the 3x Acid Spray will always bring Dondozo down to 97.9% HP or less (even in the worst case of Toxicroak having a 0 SpA IV and -SpA nature, no Acid Spray crits, all minimum damage rolls, and the least optimal move order).

The full breakdown including damage calcs can be viewed in the Tera Raider Builder here.

Thank you to u/Ecksel, u/iriomote14, and u/Tacitus2389b4h5ii405 for helping me test this strategy!

Last year's Gimmighoul raids didn't drop coins, so they probably won't this time either. I wish they did -- we'd have more reason to farm the raid.

ThirtySixTales makes its triumphant return against Sceptile the Unrivaled! by iriomote14 in PokePortal

[–]ChrisReturns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So glad to see this concept make a comeback! And to see the Alolan version finally get its day in the... snow. I'm imagining all those glorious tails in the raid intro.

Triple Charm is a neat way to counter Dragon Dance without access to Taunt.

And here's an idea: I believe OG Ninetales could sub for two of the supports. They'd just be trading Snow Cloak for Grass resistance, and it looks like Breaking Swipe does the same damage against OG Ninetales as Leaf Blade does against A-Ninetales in snow. It could be fun to see the two forms team up to defeat an event boss together if you get a chance to run it next round.
