No one uses screamer pods?
I know there aren't a lot of monsters that screamers work against but black diablos is one of them. It's like I'm the only one who remembers to bring them.
I only ask in the quests where people actually cart.

Also, they don't stay grounded long enough for it to be worth it.

Now if they stayed grounded like they did in Monster Hunter Tri, then it would be worth it.

The only time now to use those pods is when they are dead tired but NOT leaving to go eat cacti because more often than not they just ignore a screamer pod regardless if you hit them with it or not when they leave to go eat. Doesn't matter if it's nearly dead or anything, they will almost always leave and ignore a screamer pod.

Screamers are basically worthless in this game.

I run gunlance exclusively against her, unless its the GL. So no, I just block that ♥♥♥♥.

Yeah it can be kinda annoying. I just think people don't know that screamer pods work against Diablos.

I prefer using sonic waves from the Zinogre horn instead, though the timing for B. Diablos is really tough.

i think a lot of people know that screamer pods works against Diablos, just before iceborne it was a hassle to use them and that just not worth using it

and that mentality just carried over to IB even though you can now use the slinger now while your weapon is unsheated

i use counter weapon against diablos,so i would rather they come toward their death

I really dont have empty slot on my loadouts, and will not swap an item just for diablos/black diablos.
I prefer just dodge out of the way

I never bring screamer pods with me, they basically only work on like 3 monsters. So if the storage chest doesn’t come with them, I ain’t using them.

Pods also aren't easily farmable lmao, have fun murdering Noios all day to make some pods AND have extra sacs to craft mid-hunt

Narga used to be weak to screamer pods in the older games when he poses but for some reason they took that cool mechanic out and the fight became less rewarding.

diablos, female diablos, what is the 3rd?? enlighten me

i just grab my lance if i want to hunt both diablos, it less risk, and if i open slinger it make me vulnerable by how fast they burrow.

test it specially tempered black diablos, shield is better than screamer.

Jyuratodus I’ve seen it work. I would assume Lavasioth as well but I’ve never tested.
