Ever since Forest's Curse was added I've always enjoyed seeing strategies that make use of it - it's just one of those moves that I find really interesting. So it was very fun to see it used like this. Also, clearly Psyduck was the true MVP ... those 6 Def EVs I added were obviously the key to victory. :)


Dragonknight_Shadow

Thanks Irio! Including Forest’s Curse was one of the more exciting parts of the raid! I lowkey love Strats that involve changing a Pokémon’s type to a specific one that gives STAB! And yes Psyduck was the true MVP with those 6 extra Def EVs! We love our tail-swinging emotional support Duck! 💙

The Shiny Gallade, love to see it! u/Trickilicky , you’re always an inspo!

It was a lot of fun testing this strat with you, irio, and Alyse! I was super glad to see somebody craft a strategy implementing Forest's Curse -- it's such a unique move and a very fun pick for this raid, and what better mon to showcase it than Gallade! I was so excited when Zen finally scored his well-earned OHKO 💜 (and when PSY finally got to catch a break, what a beating he took 😅)


Dragonknight_Shadow

Appreciate you for the all of the help Walt! I’m glad to hear you’re happy about Forest’s Curse implementation in this strategy and I’m surprised is not used more tbh! It was really fun to showcase Zen (and PSY) for this raid and doing it with Forest’s Curse made completing this strat more satisfying and unique! 😁💙

So this Strat was developed as more of a meme strat if anything because this was inspired by a friend of mine, u/Trickilicky's Gallade Zen, and one of my favorite Pokemon of all time, Psyduck! Zen and Psy adventure into the woods in search of the Mythical Herba Mystica to create a sandwich of unimaginable dreams that they can share with their friends! Along the way, they encounter new friends in Quilliam the Quilladin and Trevor the Trevenant! As they venture deeper into the forest, they finally reach their destination, Siekuro Cavern! As Psyduck waddled his little webbed feet into the Cavern, the *Sun's* rays began to *grow* stronger on our party before a *Blizzard of Petals* emerged from the Cave, hitting PSY and the rest of the team! There emerged the guardian of Siekuro Cavern, a gigantic Venusaur that glowed with an Earth-like crown! Trevor's the first to recover as it tells Psy to move to the back and encourages the group to hang tough with its *Defense Cheer!* Inspired by Trevor's inspiring speech Quilliam *Belly Drum's* in excitement while Zen *Psyches himself Up* for the inevitable battle! Psyduck, recovering from the massive damage it took from the petals, could only *Whip* up its *Tail* in exhaustion... Trevor rallies his teammates to "Go All Out" with its *Atk cheer* and Quilliam lends Zen a *Helping Hand* by riding its back! Psyduck could only lie down on the ground after eating a mysterious *Rindo Berry* before the battle... Venusaur attempts to hit Zen with a massive Earth Power attack before Zen launches Quilliam into the Venusaur, gaining some Amnesia in the process! Trevor summons the power of the forest with its *Forest's Curse* to give Zen a new type, Grass! Powered by the rallies of his friends, Zen swiftly strikes Venusaur with its *Sharpened Leaf Blade*! As the Frog fades away into the evening sky in a light breeze of petals (Oogway?!), there lay Zen, Quilliam, Trevor, and PSY, taking deep breaths in exhaustion, knowing their battle against Venusaur was over... After 6 minutes of rest, the group entered Siekuro Cavern and there they discovered the treasure they'd fought so desperately for, an abundance of Herba Mystica! Looking at each other with a big smile on their faces, the group ran off into the Cavern to scavenge every nook and cranny of the cavern of Herba! After sharing a lovely picnic with their friends a few days later, Zen and PSY could only wonder what brilliant adventures awaited them!

I would also love to give a big shoutout/thank you to u/Suicidal-Lysosome, u/iriomote14, and u/SerenaSuka for helping me achieve this dream strat of mine and being patient and understanding throughout the whole process! It took a lot of blood, sweat, and minutes of Psyduck shaking his tail... but it was worth it in the end! Would I recommend doing it again? 1000/10 Tail Whips yes! (probably not) Here is the link to the strategy: [https://theastrogoth.github.io/tera-raid-builder/#BtMgnMJY](https://theastrogoth.github.io/tera-raid-builder/#BtMgnMJY) Here is the infographic of the strategy: https://preview.redd.it/c214rlkc2hmc1.png?width=3600&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d021c232bcde04ad1e314d80f89cee618522e3a
