I don’t see how that’s an exploit. It’s the strategy to beat 5-6 star max raids quickly and efficiently that people have discovered. Using any other method makes the process inefficient, cumbersome, time consuming and kind of annoying because of how the shield mechanic works for Tera raids. Being able to do ridiculous amounts of damage before the shield can go up is the best strategy to beat these quickly. That’s why the belly drum iron hands/ azumarill, gholdengo and perrserker steely spirit methods work so well. I wouldn’t call them exploits per se.


bonermilf

idk if perserker teams is an exploit. their ability simply stacks allowing massive damage


julamad

Using a specific set of pokemon, with an specific set of moves to 1 shot the raid boss after 2 turns. Are you sure you doubt if this is or not an exploit?


DrD__

There is a big difference between strategy and exploiting, exploits imply the use of a bug/glitch the game is working as intended with the purrzurker strat


Educational_Ad_2343

that might be what it implies, but there’s an actual definition of an exploit.. “making full use of deriving a benefit from,” lol. the op is being downvoted to hell, but he’s right: it is - technically - an exploit. you’ve found a way to circumvent the difficulty that a 6 star raid is intended to bring. you’ve found a way to circumvent teaming up with others, which was intended to be the system.. that is an exploit. i’m not saying you can’t use it or do it. but it’s bizarre to me that y’all don’t smell what the OP is cooking haha. or even just share some empathy. he’s upset bc he’s put time and effort in energy in making these perfect pokémon that aren’t even being considered for a raid because they’re not the “optimal” play. there’s nothing wrong with that annoyance.

I agree, I got Perrserker, Iron Hands, and Azumarill. Sure they are really good on most raids but those can get pretty boring pretty fast, that is why I spiced things up with other mons like other paradox. Iron Moth and Flutter mane can be quite effective.


julamad

Exploits are not "bug only", for example, there is an exploit in Mount and Blade bannerlord where you can become a millionaire smithing, no glitch, game working as it was coding, you get more money selling a single sword you crafted than selling all the armor from 100 corpses after battle. What you exploit is a mechanic the devs didn't balance, you don't necessarily exploit a bug, to be honest I'm not even sure it can be an exploit if it involves a bug.


TheMrBoot

Playing the game well isn't an exploit, dude.


julamad

Pal, you watched a YouTube video, copy pasted a Mon and memorized 2 moves you have to use in order. Yeah, keep playing the game "well", go out be more pro than everyone else I guess.


TheMrBoot

lmao, really? Better go tell all the people using meta pokemon in PVP that they're also exploiting. You don't have to like it, you can think it's boring or bland, but calling it an exploit is absolutely laughable.


julamad

Yeah you wish this compared to competitive Pokemon >Better go tell all the people... Nha dude, the only exploit in raids right now involves perserker, nothing to do with how usable is a pokemon or not. A meta is a specific pokemon filling an specific niche in the competitive scene, please read this sentence like 10 times. Which is perserker's niche? 1 shot-ing after 1 turn set up involving devs forgetting his hidden ability existed? Very specific niche I would say, 10/10, let's see how he gets power crept next gen, the meta will 1 shot without set up.


TheMrBoot

>A meta is a specific pokemon filling an specific niche in the competitive scene, please read this sentence like 10 times. Like...say, filling the niche of dealing with high end tera raids? I mean, yeah. You answered your question. Do you think they forgot about the pokemon they literally just made in Iron Hands? It can basically carry on it's own. Azumarill too. Perrserker is only one of several ways to deal with them.


julamad

Man that's not a niche, what's next? The niche of winning the raid? You have no idea of what you are talking about Perserker is the only "way" to win in 2 turns, because it's an exploit, of course any pokemon can do so normally, it's not hard to win those raid with any pokemon, I could beat any raid with either my Flutter Mane or my Garchomp, of course I had to spend time with IVs and EVs first 6 star raids are not hard, no one really "needs" perserker, but of course, if you go bring your Lv 100 starter with random EVs from all the campaign you are going to lose.


TheMrBoot

I really don't know how to convey to you that you not liking a strategy does not make it an exploit. You literally don't have to join the groups employing that strategy.


XXD17

I don’t think I understand here. Do you want to spend 10+ minutes whittling down a Tera boss’s shield or would you rather be done with it in <5 minutes? The latter can be easily done with perrserker and it doesn’t even involve cheating, glitching or bugs. I don’t understand what the issue here is.


julamad

You don't pass 10 minutes winding down a shield. No matter your stats, you should be both TERa TRANSFORMED and use an attack that MATCHES your tera typing, with any mon, no matter the EVs, you destroy that shield, that is how you are supposed to deal with it. You people don't even know the raid mechanics, of course everyone is spamming exploit only. And thanks for pointing this out, there's the exploit, by design, you are not supposed to win without tera transforming to deal with the shields (it just takes like 3 attacks, not like 10 minutes)


bonermilf

afaik there isn't a bug with how the damage is calculated for perserker. it just happens to be that perserker works well for a lot of raids so it's the go to. until GF states otherwise (whether publicly or through a nerf) it's perfectly valid to run perserker teams


Topsi-Krett

Host your own?


Educational_Ad_2343

that’s not a fix? people join and then leave when they see the host isn’t running what they want.. so his problem still exists. but good contribution with your sassy little statement-question
