When the Unrivaled Incineroar Tera Raid event was first announced, Pok\u00e9mon players were mildly concerned that this would be a tough one to beat. After all, Incineroar is known as one of the most dominant forces in VGC history as a fantastic utility \u2018mon. Sure enough, this cat is also an absolute monster in this difficult seven-star Tera Raid. In a Sept. 6 Reddit thread, players discussed what made this the \u201cworst experience\u201d in Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids. Compared to previous seven-star raid events, Unrivaled Incineroar feels especially difficult with how quickly things can get out of hand. The cat opens up the raid with multiple stat-lowering effects, putting you and your allies at an immediate disadvantage. Then it boosts its own stats, and before you know it, it\u2019s one-shotting your Pok\u00e9mon. It took me multiple attempts with different Pok\u00e9mon before I finally found a solid build and counter for Incineroar. The raid\u2019s difficulty isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing on its own, but it can get a little tilting when paired with other factors. One of the most annoying parts about this raid by far was the opening sequence where Incineroar\u2019s Intimidate ability would lower everyone\u2019s Attack stat one by one, followed by a Snarl that would lower everyone\u2019s Special Attack in the same tedious manner. As if that wasn\u2019t enough, the cat will then Taunt one unlucky Pok\u00e9mon before you\u2019re finally able to make your first move\u2014imagine having to rewatch that long sequence every time you restart the raid! Players commented on how it was \u201ctorture\u201d and \u201cwastes a ton of time.\u201d In another thread, other players had beef with people bringing Koraidon as a counter for group raids. As a Fighting\/Dragon-type Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, Koraidon may seem like the perfect counter for Incineroar at first glance, but it can negatively affect other players in group raids. The Paradox Legendary automatically sets up the sun with its Orichalcum Pulse ability, powering up Incineroar\u2019s Flare Blitz in the process. So, don\u2019t bring a sun-setter like Koraidon to group raids unless you want to make it even more difficult than it needs to be!","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Pokemon-Incineroar-grassy-field.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334262"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1334262"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1334293,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334262\/revisions\/1334293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1197259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1334262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1334262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1334262"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1334262"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1334262"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1334262"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1334262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

When the Unrivaled Incineroar Tera Raid event was first announced, Pok\u00e9mon players were mildly concerned that this would be a tough one to beat. After all, Incineroar is known as one of the most dominant forces in VGC history as a fantastic utility \u2018mon. Sure enough, this cat is also an absolute monster in this difficult seven-star Tera Raid. In a Sept. 6 Reddit thread, players discussed what made this the \u201cworst experience\u201d in Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids. Compared to previous seven-star raid events, Unrivaled Incineroar feels especially difficult with how quickly things can get out of hand. The cat opens up the raid with multiple stat-lowering effects, putting you and your allies at an immediate disadvantage. Then it boosts its own stats, and before you know it, it\u2019s one-shotting your Pok\u00e9mon. It took me multiple attempts with different Pok\u00e9mon before I finally found a solid build and counter for Incineroar. The raid\u2019s difficulty isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing on its own, but it can get a little tilting when paired with other factors. One of the most annoying parts about this raid by far was the opening sequence where Incineroar\u2019s Intimidate ability would lower everyone\u2019s Attack stat one by one, followed by a Snarl that would lower everyone\u2019s Special Attack in the same tedious manner. As if that wasn\u2019t enough, the cat will then Taunt one unlucky Pok\u00e9mon before you\u2019re finally able to make your first move\u2014imagine having to rewatch that long sequence every time you restart the raid! Players commented on how it was \u201ctorture\u201d and \u201cwastes a ton of time.\u201d In another thread, other players had beef with people bringing Koraidon as a counter for group raids. As a Fighting\/Dragon-type Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, Koraidon may seem like the perfect counter for Incineroar at first glance, but it can negatively affect other players in group raids. The Paradox Legendary automatically sets up the sun with its Orichalcum Pulse ability, powering up Incineroar\u2019s Flare Blitz in the process. So, don\u2019t bring a sun-setter like Koraidon to group raids unless you want to make it even more difficult than it needs to be!","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Pokemon-Incineroar-grassy-field.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334262"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1334262"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1334293,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1334262\/revisions\/1334293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1197259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1334262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1334262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1334262"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1334262"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1334262"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1334262"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1334262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
