There are lots of things about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids and if you want to know how to beat 5-star raids then read below.
It’s not just about bringing in a strong Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to get into Tera Raiding endgame. Six- and five-star raids can be challenging, especially if you don’t have the right matchup. If you want to catch Pokemon with perfect IVs, farm Herba Mystica, or collect rare items such as Bottle Caps, you’ll need to participate in Tera Raids.
In Tera Raids, time is the most precious resource, as the timer rapidly depletes whenever an allied Pokemon faints. In order to effectively complete these raids, you’ll require powerful Pokemon. So here is the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids guide that is going to help you in this difficult situation.
If you want to win higher-level raids (five-star raids, six-star raids, and seven-star raids), you need to pay attention to type advantages. This is not a recommendation; instead, you’ll have to use it. It doesn’t matter what Pokemon you use, if they’re weak against the opponent’s moves, they’ll faint, costing you time, even if they excel in the meta.
As indicated by the symbol in the top right corner of the raid screen, your Pokemon needs to deal regular or super effective damage to the Tera Type of the raid Pokemon. The raid Pokemon should also be able to deal reduced or regular damage to your chosen Pokemon. However, you need to consider its regular typing as well.
If you’re up against a Charizard of the dragon Tera type, it can still perform flying and fire-type attacks. Even while you would be tempted to bring your powerful Froslass to use ice-type moves to neutralize the dragon-type, Charizard will unleash a fire-type attack to eliminate your Pokemon.
You should be on the lookout for a few specific raids in Tera Raids if you wish to farm Herba Mystica. Herba Mystica can only be obtained from five- and six-star raids and certain Pokemon can drop certain varieties of it. Not every Pokemon in five-star raids will drop Herba Mystica, but if they do, there is a 10% chance they’ll drop it.
There is about a 13% chance for Herba Mystica to drop for every six-star raid Pokemon. Note that the Pokemon below will drop each type of Herba Mystica, so if you are lucky, you might be able to get five Herba Mystica in one raid. A five-star raid should feature Gengar, Blissey, Glalie, Drifblim, Amoonguss, Eelektross, Palafin, Cetitan, and Dondozo. A six-star raid should contain Vaporeon, Blissey, Amoonguss, Cetitan, Dondozo, and Farigiraf.
Choose a weak Pokémon if you’re hosting a Ditto raid since Ditto will change into the host’s Pokemon. Although Magikarp is a well-liked option, it could potentially be weak. This will make it simple for you to finish the raid, and as a bonus, you’ll get a Ditto with a few perfect IVs, which is excellent for breeding.
You can one-shot most Tera Raid bosses by using the Huge Power ability, which doubles attack stat, and the moves Belly Drum and Play Rough. With this combo, trainers can make short work of somewhat troublesome typings. When raiding solo, it is recommended that players use this Azumarill build, as it takes a few turns to set up. To lower the boss’ defense, players can use Tail Whip or Belly Drum at the start of the raid.
It is important to note that players shouldn’t use Tail Whip more than once, as the AI Pokemon will start dealing damage and may trigger the Pokemon’s shield if used too often. In any case, Belly Drum is a necessary skill to maximize Azumarill’s Attack and HP stats, and Play Rough is a great way to end the Tera Raid. Play Rough can also be substituted for Liquidation if the Pokemon is weak to water-type attacks.
A player will need to learn its hidden ability – Pixelate – as well as a moveset consisting solely of TM moves in order to set up Sylveon. In order to prevent fellow players from chipping too much health from the boss before the setup is completed, this Sylveon build requires three turns of setup at the start of Tera Raid battles. To increase Attack and Special Attack, players will want to use Calm Mind once.
To weaken the Raid Boss’ Special Defense, use Fake Tears three times. Players can keep using Hyper Beam for the duration of the fight until the boss passes out. You should switch to Hyper Voice if your PP runs out.
This build does not require much setup. In fact, it is entirely optional to use setup moves with Miraidon, as its Hadron Engine ability transforms the ground into electric terrain, boosting the power of its Special Attacks. With a boost from Wise Glasses, players are ready to take part in the action when Miraidon enters the battle with its Hadron Engine ability that covers the terrain in electricity.
It is possible to use Metal Sound three times to make the Pokemon more vulnerable to incoming attacks if the Tera Raid boss has high Special Defense. In the event that Miraidon cannot one-shot the Raid Boss, its moveset is ready. The player can store power using Charge before using Electro Drift. In addition, it can Terastalize with an Electric Tera Type, resulting in even greater damage output.
So this is everything you needed to know about the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids. Follow the guide and you will be able to beat 5-star raids easily.
