Man, those elemental taurus are harder to spawn than I thought they would be.
Guess they're rare.
If you eat an Encounter Power Fire (Scarlet) or Water (Violet) sandwich, and go to a place that has large herds of Tauros, you should be able to find one relatively quick.
Something I've learned is that when I'm having particular trouble finding a certain pokemon, the answer is usually sandwiches. For example, I spent about an hour searching fruitlessly for a Tandemaus, but eating a Tofu sandwich for Encounter Power Normal had me tripping over at least 3 of the guys.
I spent the past two days grinding normal terra raids for the 50 shards I need to swap my Dragonite to tera normal type (extreme speed goes brrrrrrrrrr). Finally get it done, then go to the eatery place where you actually swap types...
Magnemogal are formed when magnemite attach themselves to the most popular magnemite in the area. The one on top absorbs the magnetic power of those below them to affect increasing numbers of magnemite.

What the heck is this? What is the point of running Meowths? Not even Persian?
What, is everyone trying to spam Pay Day to get extra money? There's better ways to do that, but that's the only thing I can think of for running Meowth.
Heck, if you want money, they could make a team of Goldengho instead
Looking at their signature moves and hidden abilities, I'm really happy with what they've done with the starter pokemon this gen. Each one has a useful set of tricks that makes them fun to use even outside of the main story, it seems.
Meowscarada gets an auto-hit, auto-crit grass move that can blow past defensive stat boosts, and it gets Protean. Protean got nerfed, but being able to get STAB on any type, even one time, is pretty sweet.
Skeledirge gets a power-crept version of Fiery Dance (in that it always boosts special attack), meaning it can snowball up a huge special attack stat, in a manner reminiscent of what Mega-Kangaskhan did with ATK. And it gets Unaware as an ability, which again lets it blow past defensive stat boosts.
Quaquavael gets a speed-boosting signature attack, and it gets Moxie, meaning it can snowball huge Speed and ATK boosts if it keeps KOing stuff. Which is very generically good.
It's nice when the starters get a lot of love and are useful in battle.

I ended up playing a ton over the weekend. I am now mostly done with the three "main quests" - I just need to do the Elite 4 for the gym path. I was actually super impressed with how sweet the storylines of the other two paths were. After the mess that was Galar it was kind of a relief to have a Pokemon game with a non-shit story! (well, relatively speaking)
Performance continues to be garbage trash (and at one point even the MENUS were lagging terribly - I was so worried the game was gonna crash.. like, I'd catch a new Pokemon and the "putting it in the Pokedex" animation was in slow motion.. it was BAD. This is right after a restart of the game btw - been shutting it down and loading fresh each time cuz I know of the memory leak).
You know, been thinking about these issues too. It's a real, real shame because I think I actually really like this game. If you ignore the gross state it was released in, the gameplay is fun, I like the story and characters, I like a lot of the new Pokemon (I have even come around on Quaxly's final evo seeing it in motion). I even noticed it doesn't seem like they've done the "Pokemon thing" where there's like five stock NPCs and they just reuse them everywhere. People actually seem to have unique appearances (I'm assuming they leveraged the player customization system for hairstyles and the like which is something they should have been doing for awhile now). There's some genuine effort put in almost everywhere *but* the technical aspects of the game (also shops, I don't like the menu shops). There's still things I don't like, like how you can't customize your shirt and pants or the lack of sparkle/sound for shinies (whyyyyyy??????!?!?!) but overall it's a fun game. When it's not running like dogshit... *sigh*
I don't understand why they didn't get Monolith to help. Like, look at any Xenoblade game on Switch and compare it to Pokemon, a game that looks way worse and also runs like trash. Hell, look at Breath of the Wild, a game Monolith assisted on. Monolith are like THE "giant open world on Switch" pros. Baffles me.
Random side note, fuck that Math class. Why is literally every question a trick question? This feels like one of those stupidly accurate depictions of the kind of teacher that likes to fuck over their students with bullshit quiz questions. God forbid I answer your dumb math question like a MATH question and not take into account the fucking free Premier Ball (YOU ARE TEACHING BAD MATH! 2000/200 does not equal 11!!!!), and then on the test you fucking turn it around and say GREAT BALL to fuck with people again. Arggg... I have feelings about this course. Then I did Languages and it was like Festival Plaza 2.0 easy sauce :P

Heck, if you want money, they could make a team of Goldengho instead
Its Perrserkers that use setup to "one shot". It is like the Iron Hands belly drum build or the Goldengho Iron Beam setup build. You Taunt, Screech, Cheer then all Iron Head together as Perrserker.
Some people are gate keeping and unless you show Perrserker they swap in a low level (if not lead) or cancel raid if they are lead. Ive run into it a couple of times myself. Taking the Iron Hands or Goldengho into groups can cause problems as the setup is more. Belly Drum you lose hp and so if people start destroying the mob it will null stats. Gholengo you want to nasty plot 2-3x (2 for 5*) and Metal Sound 2-3x and the mob will null stat changes on itself early and on the group at 1/3 or so hp so can lose all your setup easy.
Hey Folks, we bred some copies of the meta regional steel pokemon that needs hidden ability to really shine. They all have the HA and mostly max IVs. (Next round will have perfect IVs but have a box full of non-max) so if anyone needs one to prepare for higher end raids hit me up and i'll be happy to trade you one.
Gonna have to hit you up for one. Was breeding it for IVs before realizing I needed the HA.
[edit] Does that mean a Pokemon with a HA which evolves gets the evolved state's HA by default?
I'm actually pleasantly surprised at the variety I'm seeing in random multiplayer tera raids
Lots and lots of box legends and belly drum Iron Hands/Azumarill or course, but a ton of people are bringing random support sets with moves like Helping Hands, Screech/Scary Face, a weather move to debuff whatever type the raid mon likes to spam, dual screens, Life Dew.
Honestly just 2-3 super effective attackers and 1-2 supports seems like the way to go, so if you want to get into a specific tera raid but don't have something that works for that specific raid, bring something bulky with good resistances and spam helping hand + screech to let the Iron Hands or whatever murder it faster
I had a glitch when I faced the Elite Four. In which the music bugged out and only looped the 10 second (or so) intro suspense tones the entire time. The Champion theme too. Apparently that can happen if the game's been on for a long while.
I thought that was just what the music was; a weird ambient thing this time. I had no idea that it was a glitch.
And it's a damn shame, because the full versions are very good.

4th move has generally been Helping Hand. Sometimes the strategy is everyone Iron Head, sometimes it's everyone Helping Hand a single dude for one big attack.

Yeah. With no ability to talk just usually I follow the pattern. But I made the Goldengho and it is really fun to just solo them heh.
It's not so bad Austin John Plays has a really nice guide on Chest Gimmieghoul spawns and doing a circuit unlocks all the various watch towers as fast travel points. I had to do it twice because somebody in a discord asked to touch trade it for Dex credit and they stole my first one.
For raids right now since i'm not bothering to make a HA Zerker and don't have a good Iron hands yet is a Espathra with Special attack EVs Clear amulet opportunistic ability and Lumina Crash.
Lumina Crash is pretty decent support because it's -2 Special defense for use.
So far iv only cancelled a single raid and that was a 5 Star Gardevoir where the people who joined locked in 2 dragonites It was a Fairy Tera Gardevoir

It's Purrserker not Meowth and it's the new strategy that only works half the time and only if you have an ability patch to get it's hidden ability
I didn't see one in the OP so I'm gonna make a private discord for doing raids and such if anyone is interested dm me and I'll send you an invite
I have a lot of extra Hidden Ability Galarian meowths still. Breeding a lot for perfect IVs so plenty of ones with 1-2 IV's off i can trade whenever. If anyone wants some just hit me up and I can trade them
CorriganX on Steam and just about everywhere else.

To my understanding it’s exactly that. It has been common enough that every clip I’ve seen of the game has had the host comment on them (though they appeared as regular balls in most cases). Evidently the team didn’t have time to do the final pass on the game to make them invisible.
I can’t wait to learn that the huge memory leak is caused by infinitely spawning diglets inside an unused building or something.
Should the Gimmeghoul chests respawn or something? Because I’ve never seen them come back after visiting the towers again. The lil coin guys do, but not the ‘mon itself.
I am pretty sure you can mess with the date out of game to get them to respawn.
Also a cool little Gimmighoul factoid is that there is a chest spawn on a little cliff directly at the start of the game that i am pretty sure you can reach with a good ride-mon jump from the top of the light house it's a level 5 so a great early add to the team
Holy shit that ending chapter. Holy crap what a way to end a Pokemon game. I absolutely wanna see future games continue to get that crazy; it reminds me of how much I loved Black/White jumping the rails towards the end.

Yeah, I keep seeing it in the titan cave cutscenes. I tried to go back in to get the "obvious item on the floor" only to remember you can't enter those titan caves.. lol

How long tho? The very first one I found like 4 days ago hasn’t respawned?

Seriously, how is the game this broken?
So I think what happens is for example when you start gym leader battles, they don't teleport you outside to the arena. Instead they change your surroundings from the lobby to the battle arena without actually moving you.
So afterward when you're back in the lobby, it shows the ball you threw during the battle.
Because the one time I used a pokemon in a Heal Ball against a gym leader, there was a Heal Ball in the lobby afterwards.

Ahh, that actually makes a lot of sense. And I've seen weird shit in battles where like an NPC trainer in the background will disappear but not their pokeball, so there's just this floating pokeball flipping up and down. They must be forgetting to cull the pokeballs specifically out of the scenes for whatever reason which leads to weird shit like this.
(also holy shit if that's actually what they're doing to load some of these areas no wonder the game runs like shit... I wonder how many objects are actually hiding culled away in the background taking up resources)
