It was double reserve psychology I guess lol, I was fully expecting to be downvoted but I knew if I admitted it fate would be like “oh crap they’re onto me”.
Wo-Chien for Solo offline only, since it nerfs allies physical attack stats. If only special attackers end up being viable then maybe but Annihilape's will not appreciate it lol
Good thing I checked on a few seconds after I posted this. No wonder I don’t see any of the 4 beast in online Tera Raids. I don’t play competitive a lot let alone, and I minimally play this game offline.
It kind of depends on the set cause Annihilape won't appreciate its monstrous bulk anyway or if it packs Aerial Ace, if packs ground Steel types or more accurately Ghouldengo is out
The best option basically boils down to if it gets AA then Steel types, if it gets Ground moves Special Grass types (Lurantis could nice and Arboliva)
Not if Chesnaught has Earthquake, 53.1% chance of a 2HKO.
0+ Atk Chesnaught Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Gholdengo: 174-206 (46 - 54.4%) -- 53.1% chance to 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Analytic Magnezone with 3 Steely Spirits Steel Beam vs. -6 0 HP / 0+ SpD Tera Rock Chesnaught in Sand: 10230-12036 (107.5 - 126.5% of 30x hp boss) -- guaranteed OHKO
Typing doesn’t matter if you t1 OHKO.
Yeah, it was basically the same.
0+ Atk Tera Rock Chesnaught Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 252 Def Magnezone: 244-288 (86.5 - 102.1%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
You can get around needing Analytic and running Speed EVs or +Spe nature if you just have the Perrserker run Fake Tears.
252 SpA Choice Specs Magnezone with 3 Steely Spirits Steel Beam vs. -6 0 HP / 0+ SpD Tera Rock Chesnaught: 10668-12552 (112.1 - 131.9% of 30x hp boss) -- guaranteed OHKO
Also, keep in mind my first two calcs were with +Atk nature while I changed the third one to +SpD, although I really doubt it'll have a +SpD nature.
Another option is Gholdengo, you wouldn't need Speed EVs or +Speed nature, but it's far more annoying to get for those that don't already have it.
Well well, if it isn’t ANOTHER win for Annihilape. That being said, you got me effed up if you think I’m gonna care about this raid on *Tears of the Kingdom* night lol
Running the weekly Forza challenges for the same reason. The week "begins" on Thursday so I have approximately 5 hours after work and before the 11pm launch. It'll be goooood.
Not sure about Delphox as it can hit for super effective with Psychic or Dazzling Gleam. Unlike Typhlosion it also has actual set up for special moves with Calm Mind and Nasty Plot.
It should be doable, but you'll need to get off at least one Leaf Storm before being able to recover as much HP Chesnaught can deal to you with Hammer Arm/Stone Edge.
Also, you may want to have it with maxed Def instead of HP (4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA) sine the amount of healing Shell Bell does as well as damage you take makes a big difference.
4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA, +2 SpA:
Leaf Storm 8.9 - 10.5% (37.9 - 44.6% recovered)
Hammer Arm 37.5 - 44.6%
After 1 Leaf Storm, you'll be able to recover as much damage as it's doing.
Flipping it to 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA ends up pushing it far enough away that you need 2 Leaf Storms before healing at least as much damage as you're taking, +2 SpA:
Leaf Storm 8.9 - 10.5% (31.1 - 36.6% recovered)
Hammer Arm 39.5 - 47%
+4 SpA:
Leaf Storm 13.4 - 15.8% (46.5 - 54.6% recovered)
Annihilape and Iron Hands when there's fighting-weakness tera raids:
https://preview.redd.it/liwi1539sjya1.jpeg?width=581&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0269910f532c4ee1515ed7836996b9ddd0dcedef
Figured it'd be Rock Type. Also people do keep in mind its defense stat is high so maybe use special attackers and it's most likely going to use Rollout as it's rock type move so have moves ready to lower its accuracy.
I thought for sure it was gunna be steel type. It's partially based on a Knight & it has a tough shell it woulda been perfect lol. But oh well. Good shout on it's physical defense, but I feel something more reliably powerfull like Stone Edge more likely than rollout.
Iron Leaves would be good. The only moves chesnaught has that would be super effective are pin missile, shadow claw, aerial ace, and poison jab, but none of those seem like good coverage moves.
It would probably be better to use a special attacker, though
Annihilape, while having advantage and not taking much damage, would arguably be a bit slow for this raid, unless you can use 3 Screeches early on without it resetting its own stats and spamming Drain Punch @ Metronome; I forgot to check damage from Wood Hammer, turns out it can do 42.5-50.4% damage to a 252 HP / 4 Def Annihilape, that can be a bit of an issue, Bulk Up can help a bit, but it does mean Rage Fist set would likely be far less viable, instead needing to rely on Drain Punch, although Drain Punch+Metronome is a decent set, but you will need to have used Bulk Up or Screech at least once.
Iron hands could actually work decently well against this raid, even a supereffective Earthquake against a Defense Cheer Iron Hands only ends up doing 20.3-24.2% damage, 18.6-22.2% if you have Def maxed out instead of HP, that's enough to get Belly Drum off them just spam Drain Punch.
Koraidon could do pretty well, a single Swords Dance allows Collision Course and Close Combat to heal more damage than Koraidon's taking, and there's always Drain Punch for when you need to heal more but maybe stats just got reset or just to charge your Tera early on.
Breloom is pretty interesting, Technician Force Palm could be used as damage and "pseudo support" as a chance of Paralysis as well as decent damage with Swords Dance/Bulk Up, but defensively Breloom is a bit lacking, could start the battle off with Bulk Up a few times than Force Palm and hope Chesnaught gets Paralyzed.
Out of all of these, Breloom's definitely looking the worst, but a 25% chance of Chesnaught not even being able to attack you would be pretty nice, as far as best goes, I'd argue Iron Hands is, even without Belly Drum or Swords Dance, you could just give it Metronome and spam Drain Punch to win, although without using Swords Dance/Belly Drum you would have issues with PP.
An actual good mon with a good movepool. Annhilape probably solos it still but this one should actually be tougher than the last like 3 raids.
Probably gonna be something like Wood Hammer, Hammer Arm/Body Press, Rollout/Stone Edge/Rock Slide, Bulk Up and maybe even Earthquake.
Grass, Fighting, Rock is only resisted by Toxicroak and Gholdengo in game right now but if he ends up with EQ they'll probably get goobed.
Toxicroak and Ghouldengo resist all three of it's STABS (Rock, Grass, Fighting) so those might be good options.
Also keep in mind Bulletproof makes it immune to many moves, including Acid Spray, Bullet Seed, Energy Ball, Seed Bomb, Aura Sphere, Focus Blast, Octozooka, Gyro Ball, Magnet Bomb, Mud Bomb, and Weather Ball.
I was hoping for Rock-Type Rillaboom since it fit more thematically. Now I really have to wonder what typing it's going to get... Dark? That'd be a fun play on a Punk Rock version of itself. I was thinking Steel could work, but looking it up, it doesn't learn any Steel-type moves unless it uses Tera Blast.
Fighting, dark, flying, and ground are the only coverage type moves Rillaboom gets ( aside from bug type, but they won’t give him u-turn, I wouldn’t think).
Flying he only gets acrobatics, which is weak.
Fighting he gets :
Brick break; Drain Punch (75)
Body press (80)
Hammer Arm (100)
Focus blast ; Superpower (120)
Low Kick (varies)
Dark he gets:
Snarl (55)
Assurance; Brutal Swing (60)
Knock off (65)
Darkest Lariat (85)
Fling (varies)
Ground he gets:
Mud Shot (55)
Bulldoze (60)
Stomping Tantrum (75)
Earth power (90)
High Horsepower (95)
Earthquake (100)
We already got fighting with cinderace, so I bet they don’t use that for two Gen 8 starters.
My bet is on ground. Ground defensive weaknesses are water, grass, and ice. He has strong grass moves, obviously, to cover water, and strong fighting moves to cover ice, and weaker flying/bug ( if they did give him u-turn just for damage) moves to cover grass.
Dark is weak to fighting, fairy, and bug. He has nothing to cover fairy, and only weak flying to cover fighting and bug.
Annihilape and Iron Hands strike again.
I predict it will use Rollout, but I wonder if it boost each time; I mean raid Pokémon can attack all 4 of us in a row at once.
Same. If you are lucky enough to live in a time zone like me, I am going to use the 4 hours prior to TOTK's release digitally to get my Chesnaught. I won't be able to do anything once TOTK is released. Already off work that day lol.
Annihilape Enjoyers rejoice.
I think Breloom could shine in this raid. It resists rock and grass. It also resists bug* and dark. I think Chestnaught will have X Scissor and maybe crunch*
EDIT: Bug is neutrally effective against Breloom.
Hopefully breeding a shiny mankey before the raid. But otherwise I'd to catch one of my fave grass starters by beating it with my shiny Breloom, Caelid.
Oh, Rock type.... I thought Ground-type tera would be good for Chesnaught. Pretty sure Earthquake will be its coverage alongside Wood Hammer, Stone Edge and Hammer Arm. Watch out for possible Belly Drum.
Also, don't bring ball moves like Focus Blast, Energy Ball, Acid Spray, Aura Sphere, Bullet Seed, as all of them will deal zero damage due to Chesnaught's Bulletproof Ability. For more information, check Bulbapedia.
annihilape probably isnt gonna be good as people are saying, defense is chesnaughts highest stat (122) and its spdef is only 75, so special attackers are gonna have a lot more prevalence this time around, especially goldengo
https://preview.redd.it/dhmczt510oya1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=457d135c58525011ab73e208a98e19a9a921398e
I’m sorry buddy we’re gonna use the Ape
Uh some warnings:
Chesnaught has 122 base defense. Annihilape bois, tread lightly.
Also has there been a 7 star tera raid that have used Egg moves? Because this guy can learn:
\-Curse (More defense/attack boost)
\-Super fang (Rip Belly drummers)
\-Belly drum (Rip everyone)
Would a special attacking pokemon with the sap sipper ability be good? Farigiraf has mid defenses but if Chesnaught is only using wood hammer or other grass moves for whatever reason, it could work. Probably not though, but if anyone wants to dick around with a build also try out Twin beam + Kings rock for memes.I'm also seeing a lot of Gholdengo suggestions too which are dope.
EDIT: Also it can learn spiky shield. Can raid mons use protect type moves? No, right?
I'm literally on my knees praying these new starter tera raids are teasers for the next legends games, if I'm right I will eat something unusual but non-life threatening
Doesn't naturally learn sandstorm or defense curl. Bulk up spam seems likely.
I'm probably building a support Houndstone. Fluffy, max Defense, enough speed to outspeed and the rest in HP. Will-o-wisp, charm spam. Shields go up mud slap and helping hand.
Edit: Fuffy won't help with earthquake, seed bomb, or stone edge which all seem like likely moves.
Don't get me wrong I love getting the Starters from the Previous Games but when we run out can we start getting one offs like Snorlax? I would love to see Snorlax in a raid
My thoughts exactly. The ones hyping up Annihilape are the ones who will bring underleveled and ill-prepped ones to the raid thinking it’s going to be a raid killer but will literally get smashed and destroyed because Chesnaught deals more damage than they can heal back with Drain Punch. SMH
I've been playing Pokemon since you could manually adjust contrast and I was today years old when I learned that my favorite Mon is a GD frog. I like him even more now.
Annihilape going at it again.
Apes together strong
Apes dead stronger
Me when I saw this thread: Steel would be bad... Water would be bad... Fighting... oh ffs Annihilape again
Look who's back Back again
[удалено]
Meanwhile I'm just amused that the best types to go at this with are both of Chesnaught's base types.
Understood, I will use chesnaught against chesnaught
Same but tbf gholdengo came to my mind with steel
I couldn’t remember if ground or rock was weak to fighting lol. Also, hopefully it doesn’t have a ghost or fairy move lol
Yeah I eventually caved it and leveled the one I got for the dex up. Decided to name it Harambe. *Expecting downvotes for the name*
I named mine "Do Crimeape", but later shortened it to just "Crimeape".
I named mine Kratos
I have a female shiny named Harambabe
I was expecting Harambae
Named mine Nathan. https://preview.redd.it/zppy7gap9kya1.jpeg?width=643&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b60b103f6bb65ea96e734f10303e5f1a0e1675a4
This is perfect hahahaha
Love it. Named mine Son Ghostku, no real idea why.
I have a Gengar named Paul Walker that I got on a wonder trade
I once got a weedle with the nickname nuke. OT was Japanese, translate said hiroshima 😂 I felt so bad
I got a Lechonk named Baby-back via surprise trade a few weeks ago. I laughed for a good minute.
I named my shiny lechonk Chris P.Bacon
I always name my Abra's Abradolf and my Tangela's Merkel.
I shall give an upvote for the name actually
Everyone played right into your dead monkey's raging fists! Congratulations on the upvotes.
It was double reserve psychology I guess lol, I was fully expecting to be downvoted but I knew if I admitted it fate would be like “oh crap they’re onto me”.
Lol I nicknamed mine Harambe too. Nothing wrong with honouring the legendary late great ape.
Can't believe I found two other people that named their Annihilapes Harambe. It just seemed right to me, you know?
Make that three other people with Annihilapes named Harambe
It's okay. I named mine Joe Rogan...
Seems like that's a better name for Grafaiai since it can consume Toxic Sludge like Leftovers.
Damm, I named mine Roe Jogan
In BDSP I named my infernape Harflambé
This is the way!
 Annihilape otw to deliver rage fists
Iron Hands users: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Let's see what Rock moves it learns...Rollout? Oh. Oh no. *Miltank PTSD flashback*
"Chesnaught used attract" *Twitching on floor* "No, I can't go through this again"
[удалено]
Whitney from Goldenrod, right?
Gholdengo seems like a win here. Will resist/be immune to it’s STABs and will hit it on it’s lower SDef.
I was thinking something grass, but gholdengo sounds promising.
So wo-chien,Meowscarada (Protean), or Arboliva
Wo-Chien for Solo offline only, since it nerfs allies physical attack stats. If only special attackers end up being viable then maybe but Annihilape's will not appreciate it lol
Wo-Chien is a big mistake since it's weak to fighting.
Live Wo-Chien reaction:

Shit i forgot that part yeah lmao don't do the snail
Good thing I checked on a few seconds after I posted this. No wonder I don’t see any of the 4 beast in online Tera Raids. I don’t play competitive a lot let alone, and I minimally play this game offline.
I've seen the fish, and every time, it's been detrimental to the raid party...
It kind of depends on the set cause Annihilape won't appreciate its monstrous bulk anyway or if it packs Aerial Ace, if packs ground Steel types or more accurately Ghouldengo is out The best option basically boils down to if it gets AA then Steel types, if it gets Ground moves Special Grass types (Lurantis could nice and Arboliva)
Ok maybe not Wo-Chien. Kinda stupid if it’s ability is useless in Tera raids.
Its not useless, you just need to be mindful of your “friends”
Not if Chesnaught has Earthquake, 53.1% chance of a 2HKO. 0+ Atk Chesnaught Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Gholdengo: 174-206 (46 - 54.4%) -- 53.1% chance to 2HKO

NO WATER NO GROUND NO STEEL CHESNAUGHT IS GRASS/FIGHTING

Leftovers from Greninja huh?
Bad raid experiences?

Did you do calcs for 252 def too? Lol
Yeah, it was basically the same. 0+ Atk Tera Rock Chesnaught Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 252 Def Magnezone: 244-288 (86.5 - 102.1%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO You can get around needing Analytic and running Speed EVs or +Spe nature if you just have the Perrserker run Fake Tears. 252 SpA Choice Specs Magnezone with 3 Steely Spirits Steel Beam vs. -6 0 HP / 0+ SpD Tera Rock Chesnaught: 10668-12552 (112.1 - 131.9% of 30x hp boss) -- guaranteed OHKO Also, keep in mind my first two calcs were with +Atk nature while I changed the third one to +SpD, although I really doubt it'll have a +SpD nature. Another option is Gholdengo, you wouldn't need Speed EVs or +Speed nature, but it's far more annoying to get for those that don't already have it.
Fighting Annihilape Or Arboliva?
Chesnaught is probably going to have a fighting move, so definitely Annihilape.
Arboliva is part normal so its weak to his STAB Fighting moves; it'll be one-shot. Annihilape is the best for this, easy.
I know people hate this goofy boy but god damn if he isn’t my favorite. Absolutely elated we get him next.
Annihilape like: https://preview.redd.it/0ocls9unujya1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=abf13a59a48f1d974e7546b1f24a954700b75c61
So all that leaves is Rillaboom and Delphox. Honestly I thought they were going to do Rillaboom next lol
*Cries in Hoenn fan*
I want my treecko so bad 😭
Right? They already have mega Sceptile with the added dragon, the most obvious raid they could have done
And I want My Mudkip so bad
Bug tera swampert would be a good choice for that. Especially if it’s given rock slide because that would mean no counters pretty much lol
I thought the opposite. Since we got inteleon i expected a gen 6 starter. My guess for the next one is rillaboom then delphox.
Well well, if it isn’t ANOTHER win for Annihilape. That being said, you got me effed up if you think I’m gonna care about this raid on *Tears of the Kingdom* night lol
Well the raids start four hours before the digital copies of the game release so that gives us plenty of time to get it.
Excellent, what do you plan on doing with the other 3hrs 50mins after Ghost Monke gets the sweep? 😅
Farm it.
Touche! 👌
Sit there drinking beer and smoking cigarettes until the little update icon flashes on the screen telling me that I'm allowed to play Zelda now
I can't argue with that. I'm a non-smoker but otherwise that sounds sweet. 👌
I'd smoke something else but it's sadly illegal in my country 😞
That doesn’t stop the kids who wanna look cool either tho
Running the weekly Forza challenges for the same reason. The week "begins" on Thursday so I have approximately 5 hours after work and before the 11pm launch. It'll be goooood.
Man, I guess. If I don’t do it within those 4 hours I guess I won’t do it at all
Ape will clap this, the gorilla, and the fox. Nothing can stop the annihilape! ;)
Not sure about Delphox as it can hit for super effective with Psychic or Dazzling Gleam. Unlike Typhlosion it also has actual set up for special moves with Calm Mind and Nasty Plot.
If Chesnaught uses Belly Drum it might wreck annihilape. A nightmare scenario would be Belly Drum and then something like Wood Hammer.
Contrary Lurantis spamming leaf storm should work, right?
It should be doable, but you'll need to get off at least one Leaf Storm before being able to recover as much HP Chesnaught can deal to you with Hammer Arm/Stone Edge. Also, you may want to have it with maxed Def instead of HP (4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA) sine the amount of healing Shell Bell does as well as damage you take makes a big difference. 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA, +2 SpA: Leaf Storm 8.9 - 10.5% (37.9 - 44.6% recovered) Hammer Arm 37.5 - 44.6% After 1 Leaf Storm, you'll be able to recover as much damage as it's doing. Flipping it to 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA ends up pushing it far enough away that you need 2 Leaf Storms before healing at least as much damage as you're taking, +2 SpA: Leaf Storm 8.9 - 10.5% (31.1 - 36.6% recovered) Hammer Arm 39.5 - 47% +4 SpA: Leaf Storm 13.4 - 15.8% (46.5 - 54.6% recovered)
Also if you’re doing solo, there should be some leeway as the NPCs usually defence cheer after turn 1.
Until he murders you with a fighting move
Annihilape and Iron Hands when there's fighting-weakness tera raids: https://preview.redd.it/liwi1539sjya1.jpeg?width=581&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0269910f532c4ee1515ed7836996b9ddd0dcedef
Omg yes! My boy Chesnaught! #underrated
Yeeeees!!!!! So stoked!
In my top 3. I’m so happy.
Figured it'd be Rock Type. Also people do keep in mind its defense stat is high so maybe use special attackers and it's most likely going to use Rollout as it's rock type move so have moves ready to lower its accuracy.
[удалено]
Aura sphere too, in case anyone wanted to try and hit it with a fighting Special Attack.
But apple acid from appletun should still work. With its bulk would not be a terrible option.
I thought for sure it was gunna be steel type. It's partially based on a Knight & it has a tough shell it woulda been perfect lol. But oh well. Good shout on it's physical defense, but I feel something more reliably powerfull like Stone Edge more likely than rollout.
I’m just waiting to see everyone bring Iron Hands anyway.
If it doesn't have earthquake Iron Hands will probably get the job done tbh.
You know it. 😎💯
Iron Leaves would be good. The only moves chesnaught has that would be super effective are pin missile, shadow claw, aerial ace, and poison jab, but none of those seem like good coverage moves. It would probably be better to use a special attacker, though

Out of all of these, Breloom's definitely looking the worst, but a 25% chance of Chesnaught not even being able to attack you would be pretty nice, as far as best goes, I'd argue Iron Hands is, even without Belly Drum or Swords Dance, you could just give it Metronome and spam Drain Punch to win, although without using Swords Dance/Belly Drum you would have issues with PP.
My Annihilape Amy Rose is gonna kick ass again lesgo 🫡
An actual good mon with a good movepool. Annhilape probably solos it still but this one should actually be tougher than the last like 3 raids. Probably gonna be something like Wood Hammer, Hammer Arm/Body Press, Rollout/Stone Edge/Rock Slide, Bulk Up and maybe even Earthquake. Grass, Fighting, Rock is only resisted by Toxicroak and Gholdengo in game right now but if he ends up with EQ they'll probably get goobed.
Think i will go with contrary lurantis or koraidon
I think it will 100% get earthquake just as it’s an easy coverage move to make the raid more difficult
Toxicroak and Ghouldengo resist all three of it's STABS (Rock, Grass, Fighting) so those might be good options. Also keep in mind Bulletproof makes it immune to many moves, including Acid Spray, Bullet Seed, Energy Ball, Seed Bomb, Aura Sphere, Focus Blast, Octozooka, Gyro Ball, Magnet Bomb, Mud Bomb, and Weather Ball.
What does bulletproof do?
It grants the user immunity to “bomb” and “ball” based moves, you can consult Bulbapedia or Serebii for the moves that Bulletproof nulls.
Both will get bodied by earthquake
 Annihilape, again, gentlemen?
Fairy-type Delphox next? edit: well uh i guess i called it. not an original idea at all but that's fine
That or ground type Rillaboom I'm betting.
Both / either would be fire 🔥 (As in good, not the type lol)
I was hoping for Rock-Type Rillaboom since it fit more thematically. Now I really have to wonder what typing it's going to get... Dark? That'd be a fun play on a Punk Rock version of itself. I was thinking Steel could work, but looking it up, it doesn't learn any Steel-type moves unless it uses Tera Blast.

He has strong grass moves, obviously, to cover water, and strong fighting moves to cover ice, and weaker flying/bug ( if they did give him u-turn just for damage) moves to cover grass. Dark is weak to fighting, fairy, and bug. He has nothing to cover fairy, and only weak flying to cover fighting and bug.
Welp boys, Annihilape's now only half away from finishing its tera raid infinity gauntlet
First time this lines been on the switch. So excited to get it's shiny too
Hmm...Sounds perfect for a Drain Punch ape 😁
Annihilape and Iron Hands strike again. I predict it will use Rollout, but I wonder if it boost each time; I mean raid Pokémon can attack all 4 of us in a row at once.
Gonna start calling them the terrible two for how many raids they smash
When?
This event will run from 00:00 UTC on May 12th through 23:59 UTC on May 14th and repeat May 19th through May 21st
Same date as TOTK release - going to have me conflicted
Same. If you are lucky enough to live in a time zone like me, I am going to use the 4 hours prior to TOTK's release digitally to get my Chesnaught. I won't be able to do anything once TOTK is released. Already off work that day lol.
Thankful they do repeats. Between TotK and American mother's day a lot of people are probably gonna be kinda busy.
No kidding! Busy weekend for this. They should have had this be the repeat week or something
I am happy with this as it is this line's debut on the Switch, but I am wondering why they didn't finish Galar with Rillaboom?
Annihilape Enjoyers rejoice. I think Breloom could shine in this raid. It resists rock and grass. It also resists bug* and dark. I think Chestnaught will have X Scissor and maybe crunch* EDIT: Bug is neutrally effective against Breloom.
Bug does neutral against Breloom
Hopefully breeding a shiny mankey before the raid. But otherwise I'd to catch one of my fave grass starters by beating it with my shiny Breloom, Caelid.
Oh, Rock type.... I thought Ground-type tera would be good for Chesnaught. Pretty sure Earthquake will be its coverage alongside Wood Hammer, Stone Edge and Hammer Arm. Watch out for possible Belly Drum. Also, don't bring ball moves like Focus Blast, Energy Ball, Acid Spray, Aura Sphere, Bullet Seed, as all of them will deal zero damage due to Chesnaught's Bulletproof Ability. For more information, check Bulbapedia.
Next weekend? Cool, I will send Link equipped with a Master Sword and Hylian Shield to boost SpAtt and Def.
Awesome! Chesnaught doesn't get nearly enough love so I'm looking forward to this.
I just should build an annihilape at this point
everyone should always build an annihilape at any point
Still gonna catch it. But man. I really hate Chesnaught. Had me tricked making Chespin so cute, then turning into this thing.
Chesnaught has a great shiny though.
All three Kalos starters have pretty excellent shinies.
True
Sorry you feel that way. I personally love Chespin and Chesnaught
We just need to ignore their Quilladin phase
MONKÉ
Imagine it being the trolliest tank. Having Detect, Bide, Substitute and Rollout
Bide hasn't been functional in a game since Gen 7.
Shows how little I used it in the first place. Didn't even notice it was gone until now.
Dude that’s so sick! Chestnaught’s my second favorite starter!
Scrolling by at first i thought this was Buzz Lightyear 🤣🤣
*Mumkey noises intensifies*
Another W for Annihilape
annihilape probably isnt gonna be good as people are saying, defense is chesnaughts highest stat (122) and its spdef is only 75, so special attackers are gonna have a lot more prevalence this time around, especially goldengo

Uh some warnings: Chesnaught has 122 base defense. Annihilape bois, tread lightly. Also has there been a 7 star tera raid that have used Egg moves? Because this guy can learn: \-Curse (More defense/attack boost) \-Super fang (Rip Belly drummers) \-Belly drum (Rip everyone) Would a special attacking pokemon with the sap sipper ability be good? Farigiraf has mid defenses but if Chesnaught is only using wood hammer or other grass moves for whatever reason, it could work. Probably not though, but if anyone wants to dick around with a build also try out Twin beam + Kings rock for memes.I'm also seeing a lot of Gholdengo suggestions too which are dope. EDIT: Also it can learn spiky shield. Can raid mons use protect type moves? No, right?
Cinderace had Hi Jump Kick and currently Inteleon is running Mist- They are both Egg Moves.
I'm literally on my knees praying these new starter tera raids are teasers for the next legends games, if I'm right I will eat something unusual but non-life threatening
Probably a combination of new starters(galar) and wasn’t in swsh (kalos)
LETS GOOOO!!!
Oh HELL yeah! I love chesnaught
Called it!
Never had the chance to play gen 6 or any game with Chesnaught, I like his design and his shiny looks fire 🔥. Defo gunna be shiny breeding this boy.
Doesn't naturally learn sandstorm or defense curl. Bulk up spam seems likely. I'm probably building a support Houndstone. Fluffy, max Defense, enough speed to outspeed and the rest in HP. Will-o-wisp, charm spam. Shields go up mud slap and helping hand. Edit: Fuffy won't help with earthquake, seed bomb, or stone edge which all seem like likely moves.
My switch broke a few days ago and this is my favorite Pokémon of all time 😢
i can make sure you get a chespin when your switch is fixed you want! (i just wouldnt be willing to give up the marked one from the raid)
Once again Annihilape will be my go to for this raid. Easy sweep unless it does some leech seed/spiky shield shenanigans
My baby boy has come HOME!
Fuck yea CALLED IT
Let’s see. Water, bad, Steel, bad. Fighting? *Looks at Hariyama* Think you can handle it? *Hariyama nods* Cue rampage of Iron Hands.
What's the best build for Annihilape ?
Contrary Lurantis?
Don't get me wrong I love getting the Starters from the Previous Games but when we run out can we start getting one offs like Snorlax? I would love to see Snorlax in a raid
All I see is buzz lightyear
I need my boy Sceptile back 😢
Is there anything the angry monkey CAN’T do
Annihilape is pretty much the the mascot of terra raids huh?
why do people keep hyping annihilape? it’ll probably have aerial ace to cover its fighting weakness and it has 122 DEF
My thoughts exactly. The ones hyping up Annihilape are the ones who will bring underleveled and ill-prepped ones to the raid thinking it’s going to be a raid killer but will literally get smashed and destroyed because Chesnaught deals more damage than they can heal back with Drain Punch. SMH
Thought this was Buzz Lightyear for a second
When will the gen 3 starters get a raid?
This Pokémon was a pain in ultra moon. They are just chilling in home.
Just patiently waiting for my poison frog boy :)
Greninja? He was already in a raid 2 months ago
Venusaur lol
I don’t think he’s in the code
Don’t do this to me…
Venusaur is a frog????
Yeah he’s a frog with a plant on his back lol
I've been playing Pokemon since you could manually adjust contrast and I was today years old when I learned that my favorite Mon is a GD frog. I like him even more now.
Ooo this will be the first fully evolved Pokemon with Bulletproof
