SwSh Latest Wild Area Max Raids

[Daren]

You can use the Dynamax candies in the Cram-o-matic to mass produce Dragon Fangs, at least. Dragon Fangs have a decent value when used in the Cram-o-matic. I think 2 dragon fangs + 2 Dynamax Candy gets you a Wishing Piece. Which is...a thing, I guess. Save you some Watts.
There are probably more impressive things you can get if you do a little crafting flow chart with Dynamax Candy and other common items but I haven't worked them out.

Next Max Raid event is live and the theme is

basically ROCKS n' STUFF I GUESS

... although right now the raids are crashing the game because they reward you with an item that doesn't exist

Which kinda intrigues me as the raid event seems like nothing special. The theme is just r o c k

. So what could this mystery item be?

Pokemon simply does not stop crashing

"In a nutshell"

Eh, this is the only major issue I've had with HOME outside of errors that were caused by poor Internet on my end.

In the interest of clarity, the boosted mons are all Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-type. Basically the Galarian Meowth, Rhyhorn, Onix, Rolycoly, and Cufant lines, with Gigantamax Coalossal and Copperajah available.

Kaphotics (dataminer) says they suspect based on the item ID that it's an Armorite Ore equivalent for the Crown Tundra, so maybe they meant for it to give out actual Armorite Ore and slipped up. It'd fit the theme, even though it would be useless to anyone without the DLC.

This kinda reminds me of what happens when you play HGSS without an AP Patch.

 

[Eeveely]

The glitch is fixed, and the item iiiiiiis: *drumroll*.......nothing at all.

 

[Daren]

All right the event is over and I can finally start looking for Hidden abilities and grinding amorite...
...
...
...Sigh.

It’s like they’re deliberately suppressing Ore farming

I honestly wouldn't be surprised.

 

[CynthiaLover]

I guess they're trying to stop our plans to mine for ore stone cold. *chuckles*

I'll show myself out.

What the heck, why can't I join online Max Raid battles? Everytime when a raid starts, a communication error happens. I know it's not on my end since I was able to use Reshiram in Max Raid Battles way before this problem started happening. Am I the only one with this problem?

It's another problem with the current event raids. It'll be fixed.

I wonder what went so wrong with setting up this raid event compared to all the others. The fact that it struck at the same time as the HOME crash and the new Shiny Zeraora not passing hack checks is just icing on the cake.

Maybe it's the recent update? The one where the Y-Com's search ability was upgraded from four digits to eight so not to accidentally attract the wrong search number? Maybe that update hasn't been agreeing with the game's main system and causing the crashes? Just throwing out a guess as that's really the only major update we've had outside of the DLC itself in a while.

@Poke Dragon @Esserise @CynthiaLover

If there’s more problems with the raid event after this, then maybe they should just cancel/withdraw the current promoted raid event until they can get things working again

The online promoted raids glitch is fixed, and now they give armorite ore.

That’s good to hear. Let’s just hope nothing else comes up.

Mining is a cool theme I guess, and Isle of Armor players are going to appreciate the Armorite Ore and players without neither Armor and NSO are going to appreciate the Rhyperior (which is a pain to obtain otherwise). But I can see myself getting tired of this very quickly.

 

[Daren]

I'm glad we get Ore now and, from the looks of things, lots of treasure items like comet bits and nuggets.
I wonder what this theorized Crown Tundra Armoite equivalent is for though...(give Hidden Ability change please I got a Scizor from a purple raid with great stats but I'd really prefer Technician to Light Metal).

I'm almost amused how much easier Rhyperior is to get with the expansion.
In the base he's quite hard to find, but he's a common walker in the Isle of Armor.

I guess things being more convenient is another "third version" tradition, though.
