With the recent launch of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, online cooperative "Tera Raids" have become more popular (and complicated) than ever. Unfortunately, so has showing up to raids with strategically bad pokemon. As a side project, I decided to solve my problem by making an app, instead of trying to memorize type matchups 👀
It turns out, there's definitely a wrong way to do Tera Raids. There are literally hundreds of posts like these on Reddit, of seasoned users begging new players to stop using certain Pokémon in important and difficult Raids.
To help these poor souls (and myself) stop sucking at Tera Raids, I designed & built Pokémon Tera Typer — a Vue-based web app that helps noobs like myself figure out what defensive and offensive strategies to use, and how to avoid being the dimwit who brings the whole team down (RIP my Meowscarada, when I foolishly brought it against Pikachu the Unrivaled).
🧠 Good to know: "Tera Raids" are a special online co-op feature available in the most recent Pokémon games. Players pair up with 3 other Pokémon players online to take on one very powerful "raid" Pokémon within a specified time limit. If your Pokémon faints, everyone in the raid takes a time penalty.
