From Thursday, Sept. 5 at 7pm CT and to Sunday, Sept. 8 at 6:59pm CT and again from Thursday, Sept. 12 at 7pm CT until Sunday, Sept. 15 at 6:59pm CT, you have the opportunity to challenge and catch Incineroar with the Mightiest Mark in a special Tera Raid event. The Alola Fire Starter is feared as one of the best \u2018mons in competitive play, so don\u2019t expect this raid battle to be easy. It\u2019ll take a strong counter to take this cat down. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the Unrivaled Incineroar Tera Raid and how to beat it in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet. Table of contentsBeating the Unrivaled Incineroar Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and VioletWhat type is Unrivaled Incineroar?What moves does Unrivaled Incineroar know?MovesAdditional movesBest counter for the Unrivaled Incineroar Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and VioletBest Malamar Tera Raid build in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Beating the Unrivaled Incineroar Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet This Incineroar\u2019s gimmick revolves around a lot of annoying stat changes, so the best way to beat it is to use those stat changes against it. We\u2019ll also need to consider what Tera Type and moves Incineroar is using to determine the right Pok\u00e9mon to counter. What type is Unrivaled Incineroar? Incineroar\u2019s default typing is Fire\/Dark, and it also has the Dark Tera Type for this specific Tera Raid event. This gives the miniboss beast three defensive weaknesses: Fighting, Fairy, and Bug. Bug Pok\u00e9mon don\u2019t have the best matchup against Incineroar\u2019s STAB Fire attacks, so you\u2019re better off with either a Fighting or Fairy-type counter. What moves does Unrivaled Incineroar know? Incineroar\u2019s moveset is a mix of strong offense and annoying hindrances. It will open up the battle by lowering your Attack with its Intimidate ability and your Special Attack with Snarl. If you\u2019re unlucky, it may also target your Pok\u00e9mon with Taunt to prevent you from setting up or using status moves for a few turns. Incineroar\u2019s main offensive moves are Flare Blitz and Darkest Lariat, but it may also go for Iron Head or Earthquake. Moves Flare Blitz Darkest Lariat Iron Head Bulk Up Additional moves Snarl Taunt Earthquake Best counter for the Unrivaled Incineroar Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Incineroar is one of the tougher seven-star raid bosses we\u2019ve had to face in Scarlet and Violet, but it\u2019s not invincible. After multiple attempts with different Pok\u00e9mon, I found the easiest way to beat Incineroar is with Malamar. Best Malamar Tera Raid build in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Malamar is one of the few Pok\u00e9mon that gets access to the Contrary ability, which reverses any stat changes. This is perfect for the Incineroar raid where the cat tries to increase its own stats with Bulk Up and lower your Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s stats with Intimidate and Snarl.

We\u2019ll also need to consider what Tera Type and moves Incineroar is using to determine the right Pok\u00e9mon to counter. What type is Unrivaled Incineroar? Incineroar\u2019s default typing is Fire\/Dark, and it also has the Dark Tera Type for this specific Tera Raid event. This gives the miniboss beast three defensive weaknesses: Fighting, Fairy, and Bug. Bug Pok\u00e9mon don\u2019t have the best matchup against Incineroar\u2019s STAB Fire attacks, so you\u2019re better off with either a Fighting or Fairy-type counter. What moves does Unrivaled Incineroar know? Incineroar\u2019s moveset is a mix of strong offense and annoying hindrances. It will open up the battle by lowering your Attack with its Intimidate ability and your Special Attack with Snarl. If you\u2019re unlucky, it may also target your Pok\u00e9mon with Taunt to prevent you from setting up or using status moves for a few turns. Incineroar\u2019s main offensive moves are Flare Blitz and Darkest Lariat, but it may also go for Iron Head or Earthquake. Moves Flare Blitz Darkest Lariat Iron Head Bulk Up Additional moves Snarl Taunt Earthquake Best counter for the Unrivaled Incineroar Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Incineroar is one of the tougher seven-star raid bosses we\u2019ve had to face in Scarlet and Violet, but it\u2019s not invincible. After multiple attempts with different Pok\u00e9mon, I found the easiest way to beat Incineroar is with Malamar. Best Malamar Tera Raid build in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Malamar is one of the few Pok\u00e9mon that gets access to the Contrary ability, which reverses any stat changes. This is perfect for the Incineroar raid where the cat tries to increase its own stats with Bulk Up and lower your Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s stats with Intimidate and Snarl.
