I hope a broader convo starts and that MAYBE JUST MAYBE Game Freak catches word and they look into it by increasing the drop rate or lowering the requirement from 50 to like.25 to 30. The raids are a more fun and interactive way to get the things you need to make teams, which has shifted from "Ditto + Power Items + Pokerus + Breeding items" to "Bottle Caps + Mints + Stacks of Pokedollars Reaching The Dorm Ceiling".which is actually a welcome change, but then everything comes to a screeching halt when I need 50 flying shards for my Bisharp, and 50 grass shards for my Armorogue, and 50 fire shards for my Sylveon, and 50 water shards for my Glimmora or whatever may need it, and if I don't get all these hundreds of shards, farmed like 1 to 6 per raid, my team is going to be disadvantaged. The tedium of breeding has been almost outright removed, which is good, but making tera raid farming even less effective and less reliable in comparison (especially if you don't use Switch time exploits) just makes it one step forward and two steps back, given the massive blunder on how the game handles TMs now. Part of the fun of Pokemon for me is team building, and in this gen, tera form changing is a part of that. However, FIFTY SHARDS PER TERA FORM CHANGE IS INSANE. Also, tera raids aren't boring to do, especially in comparison to breeding or going through the shields of dynamax raids. I get it: Making people NEED the shards fuels a population to do raids with, which validates the feature.
