Figure 1 displays the window that you will be presented with after opening RaidCrawler for the first time. For the purposes of the guide this window will be referred to as the "Main Window". Inside the Raid Controls box we can see various buttons, here's some information about what each button does.

Button Overview

• Read Raids - Re-scans for active raids at any given point.
• Screenshot - Takes a screenshot of the game for sharing using Discord Webhooks.
• Open Map - Shows the location of the currently viewed raid on the world map.
• Dump Raid - Dumps the raid block (for researchers & raid preservation).
• Pull Events - Pulls the most recent promotional event raid data.
• Rewards - Shows the reward items given to the player after completing the raid.
• Raid Power Sandwich - Influences reward items, set this according to your active Raid Power sandwich.

Clicking the Edit Filters button opens the Filter Settings subwindow, here is where you can set the conditions that will tell RaidCrawler to stop scanning for raids once a result has been found.

You can set filters to search for a single specific target or search for multiple targets at once. Such as filtering for any shiny Pokémon OR a 6IV Pokémon, or filtering for a shiny Pokémon WITH 6IVs. Filters can be enabled or disabled at will by checking/unchecking the boxes on the right-hand side of the subwindow.

Search Filter Example

• Clicking the Shiny? checkbox then updating the filter will look for any shiny Pokémon.
• Clicking the Species checkbox, setting a desired species, then updating the filter add a second filter for Pokémon of the chosen species.
• If we are seeking a shiny Pokémon of a specific species, we would combine both of these filters into one instead.
• If we are seeking ANY shiny Pokémon OR a Pokémon of a specific species, we can set the filters independently to look for one or the other instead of seeking both.

Clicking the Open Settings button will open the RaidCrawler Settings subwindow. Here we can change a bunch of settings that determine how the program operates.

Settings Overview

• General - Shows game information such as story progress.
• Match - Decide how you want to be notified when a result has been found.
• Advance Date - For making changes to parts of the date skipping routine.
• Webhooks - Hook RaidCrawler up to your Discord server using Webhooks.
• Experimental - Unfinished experimental features of the program.
• About - Shows current program build and developer information.

Date skipping is required to refresh the active Tera Raids currently on the map. We can utilize sys-botbase to completely automate the date skipping process, then use RaidCrawler to scan the active raids until a result that matches the chosen filters has been found.

Pressing the Advance Date button on the main window will initiate 1 of 3 date skipping routines, based on what was chosen inside the Settings subwindow.

1. Zyro's method - This method advances the system time once every 5 seconds by altering the system clock using sys-botbase instead of System Settings.
2. Touch screen inputs - This method is the quicker of the two methods that manually change the date as intended using System Settings.
3. DDown inputs - This method is the slower but more consistent System Settings method, use this if you are having trouble with option 2.

If you are using Zyro's method for date skipping, ensure that Date & Time is synced via the internet in the Switch system settings. If you are using either of the other methods this setting should be disabled.

In Figure 4 we can see that the filters have been set to search for any shiny Pokémon, after making sure that the search filters are configured correctly, we then opened the settings subwindow and confirmed that we are using our desired date skipping method.

If you have not already done so, enter the overworld in-game and pause to open the map, then click Connect on the main window of RaidCrawler. Disconnect any controllers that are currently connected to the console once you have reached this stage. Controllers must be disconnected for RaidCrawler to take proper control of the console.

Click the Advance Date button to initiate the date skipping routine. RaidCrawler should now begin advancing the date and scanning for new Tera Raid dens, it will continue to do this automatically until a result that matches your search criteria has been found.

After scanning the raid dens and advancing the system date using Date Skipping, we were able to quickly find our desired Tera Raid and we have been provided with the following information:

• Pokémon Seed, PID and EC, PID will be highlighted gold if the Pokémon is shiny.
• Species and Tera typing.
• Location of the raid on the map.
• Raid difficulty & Rewards.
• IVs & Nature of the raid.
• Raid Type (normal, event distribution).

The Open Map button displays the rough location of the Raid Den on the map. If RaidCrawler produces multiple potential locations, compare with the in-game map to find the properly matching location.
