The second raid update, Vs. The Greater Masticator Invader!, is also ready.
Notes on this raid:
Notes on this raid:
- Condensing this raid's alternating-round structure into Phases proved difficult. We've arrived at a three-Phase structure that puts the old Devour rounds together, instead.
- This Raid forced us to codify a Fixed Damage modifier (e.g. "Psystrike =10"), because so many of the Pokemon's utility moves are low-BAP spread attacks that would create huge wastes of refs' time.
- We took a lot of pain to simply the old Raid's excess text, such as by removing Guzzlord's Defense ranks innately.
- By far the hardest part was settling on new Behaviors, though. Old Guzzlord had no clear focus and several points of harsh RNG.
- The new behaviors emphasize high amounts of fixed spread damage. The raid also is harsh on Physical AGs early on (Iron Defense) and harsh on Special AGs later (Snarl), differentiating their feel.

Destroy all items the Boss is holding.
Then, if any Berries remain in the Boss' backpack, the Boss equips one at random; otherwise, the challenger loses the battle.
The Raid's Berries can't be restored.
An Acquired Taste
The restriction text of the Boss' Belch is ignored.
While the Boss is performing Belch, if the Boss has an Ingested Pokemon:
Belch's types are the Ingested Pokemon's types.
Intradimensional Intestional IngressionIngested Pokemon can't receive orders, take turns, or act. Actions can't target ingested Pokemon.
While a Pokemon is ingested:
The Boss is the ingested Pokemon's types.
The damage of hits dealt to the Boss is doubled (x2); and the Boss' Defense and Special Defense ranks are zero.
If a condition would be created on the Boss; instead, it is created on the ingested Pokemon.
The Boss has all of the ingested Pokemon's conditions and markers, in addition to their own (which can result in the Boss having more than one condition of the same names). Additionally, the Boss has the greater of their own stage and the ingested Pokemon's stage, for each stat stage.
Devour
At the end of each odd round:
The Boss ingests a raider at random, from among the raiders that have been ingested the fewest times this battle.
At the end of each even round:
The Boss regurgitates their ingested Pokemon, if any. Inflict Corrosion on that Pokemon until the battle ends.
(Once regurgitated, they're no longer ingested.)
