Have you been doing all the starter event Tera raids?

    They've been releasing fully-evolved starters from various regions in raids, lasting a weekend for two periods. So far we've gotten Cinderace, Greninja, and Decidueye, with the next raid being Samurott. Have you done all three so far?

    I missed out on Decidueye since I was away and the few attempts I had at it resulted in a loss. But otherwise I plan to get them all. Do you do them all, only the ones you care about, or none?
     
    The only Tera Raid that I've done is the one with Greninja. For the rest of them, I just simply traded random Pokémon to my friends for the Starter Pokémon that they bred. To be honest, I'm not really the biggest fan of Tera Raids.

    I sadly missed out on the Charizard and Cinderace raids as I wasn't far enough into Violet when the raids dropped, (I also skipped Pikachu cause I couldn't be bothered with a 'mon I could just catch on the side of the road) but I did manage to take on Greninja and Decidueye.
    Both were great! I'm really looking forward to the Samurott raid as well!

    Have you been able to get a Rowlet at least? If not, I'd be happy to trade you one.

    I have Rowlett in Moon, Luxury, and Nest Ball if you need/want any.

    RE: I have been doing all the raids, yes. I am gathering all these tera shards, but I've yet to ever change a Pokémon's tera type since I don't battle yet.
     
    I completely missed Charizard as my game was nowhere close to being far enough to even do them at the time.

    I did Cinderace and Greninja.
    Decidueye I skipped willingly as I can just import a HA one whenever Home support is implemented.

    I guess I'll have to try and get Samurott during on of it's weekends as I don't have an HA one yet.

    I only intend to do the gens 5, 6 & 8 starter ones as I'm either missing those starters' HA or don't have them in an Apriball.
     
    Charizard - I did not participate in this event as I did not have any level 100 raid ready Pokemon yet. I was not far enough in the game.
    Cinderace - I farmed this many times to receive the drops.
    Greninja - I farmed this several times to receive the drops.
    Decidueye - I connected online at the last minute just to capture one.

    As you can see, my interest in these tera raid events is waning. With the inevitable connectivity to Pokemon Home, I could easily transfer these starters. I'd rather spend my time shiny hunting than raising a level 100 Qwilfish or whatever (insert next raid ready Pokemon recommended to defeat Samurott).
     
    I did not take on Charizard or Cinderace. In fact, putting the first in-game event Pokémon into the post-game of what are the biggest Pokémon games yet actively put me off playing.
    After a week or so I moved to Legends: Arceus and didn't look back until chancing getting into Greninja raids with members here. I'm hooked now, I've intensively farmed Pikachu and Decidueye to 999 or their respective Tera shards whilst happily cashing in the other bonuses (amassed about 60 Ability Patches from these two as well!). I'm psyched for Samurott as its the first one I've faced that I have used as a starter, I really like it. I've mostly been defecting to reddit where they come up with 1-2 turn KO strategies, I enjoy that it leads to using Pokémon that often wouldn't see much play in competitive or in my in-game teams.
    My last two raid builds have been Gastrodon (was never a fan, but now I really like the blue one - this one was pink ironically), Appletun (didn't have room on my SwSh team, but I love it even more than expected!) and now Corviknight (putting a great use to the shiny Rookidee I caught!). Despite my previous comment i expect to use Gastrodon in BD and Corviknight in my next Galar run, but what they've teamed up with has been interesting: the likes of Bellibolt (one of the last Pokémon I'll end up using in Paldea) and Lurantis (don't even know what gen its from).

    I really enjoy using something for a raid that I'd never use for a playthrough.
     
    Ihaven't done any. I hope they will be available in the future outside tera raids.
