You want hidden abilities? Best catch it in a raid or get an ability patch from a raid.
You want bottlecaps, mints, or ability capsules? Well they drop from raids, or you can buy them using money from the treasures you get... from raids.
EVs? Well you could buy 36 power items, 6 of each kind then go out and beat up 28 shitmon then swap items and beat up another 28, for every batch of 6 mon you train up. OR you can just use or buy the vitamins and feathers that from raids that you're already doing and get it done instantaneously.
And if you want a mon that is transfer only before Home comes out... well, 7 star raids is your only choice.
Do you see why it might be worth to have Raiders made?
