With special Tera Raid events popping up often in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet, it\u2019s important to find reliable Pok\u00e9mon to take down the big bosses and breeze through smaller raids.\u00a0 Slowbro is one such Pok\u00e9mon. During the Unrivaled Cinderace Tera Raid event, Slowbro quickly proved to be the perfect counter that could wall anything Cinderace tried to throw at it. This made a lot of sense, considering Slowbro\u2019s Water\/Psychic typing gives it the defensive and offensive advantage against Cinderace\u2019s Fire-type attack and Fighting Tera Type. Turns out, it has even more potential. Best Slowbro builds for Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids With a lot of good setup moves in its move pool, Slowbro\u2019s main job in any Tera Raid is to get as many stat boosts as it can before launching off a powerful Stored Power attack. If executed correctly, this has the chance to one-shot the strongest Tera Raid Pok\u00e9mon, including the Unrivaled Cinderace. Even though that event has already passed, this same strategy and build is also a surprisingly viable option for the Unrivaled Greninja event. Unrivaled Greninja counter It might sound weird to bring a Water\/Psychic-type Slowbro against a Greninja carrying a strong Dark-type attack like Night Slash, but in this case, it\u2019s much better than you would think. Slowbro is naturally bulky with a 110 Defense stat, and since the Unrivaled Greninja is a mixed attacker, its Night Slashes aren\u2019t hitting at maximum damage. This means Slowbro can take the hits well enough as it boosts its Defense with Iron Defense. Once Slowbro\u2019s Defense is maxed out, it can use several Nasty Plots to maximize its Special Attack. Stored Power will do a good amount of damage against Greninja at that point, but it can be boosted even more with the \u201cGo all out\u201d cheer.

If you want to make more use of your Slowbro, consider these other options for putting together a strong build. The main difference from the Unrivaled Greninja build is that you will have more flexibility with the moveset depending on the specific Pok\u00e9mon you\u2019re facing. It\u2019s best to carry Iron Defense against physical attackers or Amnesia against special attackers along with Nasty Plot in both cases. Alternatively, you can go with Calm Mind and Psychic Terrain for a similar outcome.
