And, while it isn\u2019t a seven-star raid event, both Paradox Pok\u00e9mon are still extremely powerful, so here are some tips on how to counter each Tera Raid.\u00a0 Since this is a five-star raid event instead of a seven-star one, this plays to Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet\u2019s version exclusivity.\u00a0 Just like with previous events, this means Walking Wake is Scarlet exclusive while Iron Leaves is Violet exclusive. In the long run, this doesn\u2019t actually matter since players who have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription can just join Tera Raids online via the Pok\u00e9 Portal and refresh until they see the opposite version\u2019s raid pop up, circumventing the issue.\u00a0 Related: All Pok\u00e9mon Day 2023 announcements: Scarlet and Violet DLC, new Paradox Pok\u00e9mon, and wrong rumors This will also be the first Tera Raid event post-performance update, meaning many of the raids' worst bugs and visual errors have been fixed. So if you plan on taking on these improved raids and the new Paradox Legends, here is how you can do so.\u00a0 How to beat the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Five-star raids are much easier to manage than seven-star raids. But be warned\u2014both Walking Wake and Iron Leaves still pose a significant threat to unprepared trainers who try to challenge them.\u00a0 As the featured spotlight Pok\u00e9mon in this event, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will appear at level 75 in these raids\u2014paired with additional boosts to make them even stronger. Thankfully those strengths are easily countered since they don\u2019t have a full moveset and their strategies are very telegraphed.\u00a0 How to beat Walking Wake Walking Wake is a Water and Dragon type, and will appear as a Water Tera Type. Despite this, it only has one Water-type move, Hydro Steam, and a moveset themed around setting up the sun since it is a Paradox Pok\u00e9mon that gains boosts from doing so.\u00a0 Related: How to get Walking Wake (Paradox Suicune) in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet It will have Sunny Day and Flamethrower to pair together, so bringing a Pok\u00e9mon that can set up the rain would be a good call. From there, you only have to deal with Dragon Pulse and Noble Roar, which can be easily handled by bringing the proper counters.\u00a0 How to beat Iron Leaves Iron Leaves is a bit more general since it will try to set up Electric Terrain for its own Paradox Ability boosts. The Grass and Psychic-type will try to use Swords Dance to boost its stats before hitting you with Psyblade, Leaf Blade, or Megahorn. If you bring a Fire-type, you should be fine as long as you remember it is a Psychic Tera Type.\u00a0 Related: How to get Iron Leaves (Paradox Virizion) in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet You have plenty of time to take down both Walking Wake and Iron Leaves, since they will be featured in raids until March 12. But if you do find yourself struggling at all, here are some of the best Pok\u00e9mon you can use to counter them.\u00a0 And make sure you update your copy of Scarlet or Violet before trying to access the raid event. If you don't, there is a chance you could encounter a bug that will lock you out of catching the new Paradox Pok\u00e9mon. Related: Massive Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet bug locks players out of catching Walking Wake, Iron Leaves in Tera Raids A fix for that bug is on the way, but there is no timeframe for when it will be out and it might not be out before the March 12 end of this event. Best counters for the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Since this is a five-star raid, you won\u2019t need to be as picky about which Pok\u00e9mon you bring to the Tera Raid as long as you are at least matching Walking Wake and Iron Leaves at level 75. You can get away with being lower leveled if you specifically bring a counter to them, but the higher your level, the easier the raid in this case.\u00a0 Here is a breakdown of some specific Pok\u00e9mon and strategies you can use to tackle each of the Paradox Pok\u00e9mon.\u00a0 Best counters for the Walking Wake Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Walking Wake moveset Hydro SteamDragon PulseNoble RoarFlamethrowerSunny Day Hydro Steam is a weird move since it's actually boosted in harsh sunlight, meaning it will deal 50 percent more damage. You will need to watch out for that, along with Flamethrower being boosted and Dragon Pulse being a strong STAB attack.\u00a0 If you can bring a bulky Water-type to the battle, Walking Wake can\u2019t really do much to you. Gastrodon and Toxapex are decent options, especially if you plan to set up the rain to counter Sunny Day. Even Clodsire will do well considering its Water Absorb ability, but you should probably focus on Special Defense in that case.\u00a0 Related: Best Gastrodon Tera Raid builds in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Good Electric and Fairy types are also decent pickles here, though be wary of bringing anything with poor defensive stats.\u00a0One really solid option is Iron Hands. Best Iron Hands build for the Walking Wake Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Iron Hands is bulky and can deal damage in two ways, over time with its decent options or all at once after using Belly Drum to set up.\u00a0 Overall, you don\u2019t really need to think this build through. Try to Belly Drum early and then knock out Walking Wake with Thunder Punch or another Electric-type attack. If you take too much damage or Belly Drum doesn\u2019t work out, alternate between Thunder Punch and Drain Punch as needed to ensure you stay alive. Tera Type: Electric or FightingAbility: Quark DriveIf Electric Terrain is active or if it's holding Booster Energy, the Pokemon's highest stat is boosted by 30% if the stat is Attack, Defense, Special Attack, or Special Defense or 50% if the stat is Speed.Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, \u2013 Special Attack)Held Item: Booster EnergyAn item to be held by a Paradox Pok\u00e9mon. Activates the Protosynthesis or Quark Drive Ability of a Paradox Pokemon which boosts its highest stat.EV spread252 Attack252 HP or Special DefenseThe remaining four can go into the stat you don\u2019t max out between HP and Special Defense, or you can play around with values and split them.\u00a0MovesThunder PunchDrain PunchBelly DrumClose Combat Best Azumarill build for the Walking Wake Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet If you need to bust out old reliable for this raid, you won\u2019t be shunned for doing so. Azumarill resists or is immune to all of Walking Wake\u2019s moves. Just don\u2019t get cocky with Belly Drum because you aren\u2019t hitting for supereffective damage this time.\u00a0 Tera Type: FairyAbility: Huge PowerDoubles the user's Attack stat.Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, \u2013 Special Attack)Held Item: Sitrus BerryIf held by a Pokemon, it will restore 25% of the holder's HP if it falls below 50% or less.EV spread252 Attack252 HPThe remaining four can go into Special Defense or SpeedMovesBelly DrumPlay RoughLiquidation\/Ice Punch\/Superpower (not really used here)Helping Hand\/Rain Dance Best counters for the Iron Leaves Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Iron Leaves moveset PsybladeLeaf BladeMegahornSwords DanceElectric Terrain Iron Leaves is much more straightforward and just wants to set up Electric Terrain before beating you down with Physical Attacks. And, thankfully, you can bring several good Flying-type Pok\u00e9mon to counter the Grass and Psychic-type fairly well.\u00a0 While that Psychic Tera Type will cause some problems and Megahorn stops you from bringing most Dark types, you can reasonably rely on Pok\u00e9mon like Noivern, Bronzong, Honchcrow, and Talonflame here.\u00a0 Umbreon is good too since it can likely take multiple hits from a non-STAB Megahorn and provide support for your teammates. Just make sure it is properly trained up because overconfidence in this could lead to an early defeat. Best Murkrow build for the Iron Leaves Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Honckrow hits harder, but Murkrow is more annoying and takes hits better. Use this annoying bird to Haze and Screech away at your enemies. You can also set up Tailwind for good measure too\u2014but you should probably only use this if you are comfortable with your teammates or see a composition that fits this build.\u00a0 Tera Type: DarkAbility: PranksterIncreases the Speed priority of status moves by one. Moves affected by this ability are ineffective against Dark-type opponents.Nature: Calm (+ Special Defense, \u2013 Attack) or Bold (+ Defense, \u2013 Attack)Held Item: EvioliteAn item to be held by a Pokemon. Increases the holder's Defense and Special Defense by 50% if the holder can still evolve.EV spread252 HPSplit the remaining 256 into both Defense and Special Defense, though you should focus on the former for this raid.\u00a0MovesHazeScreech\/TauntFoul PlayTailwind\/Roost Best Talonflame build for the Iron Leaves Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Another annoying bird, but this one hits much harder.\u00a0 Talonflame can hit Iron Leaves hard, resists all but one move, and can be very supportive by using moves like Taunt, Will-O-Wisp, and Tailwind.

While both were teased in the base game of Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and Violet<\/em>, players can now officially catch the Paradox Pok\u00e9mon iterations of Suicune and Virizion, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves<\/a>. And, while it isn\u2019t a seven-star raid event, both Paradox Pok\u00e9mon are still extremely powerful, so here are some tips on how to counter each Tera Raid. <\/p>

Since this is a five-star raid event instead of a seven-star one, this plays to Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and Violet\u2019s <\/em>version exclusivity. <\/p>

Just like with previous events, this means Walking Wake is Scarlet <\/em>exclusive while Iron Leaves <\/em>is Violet <\/em>exclusive. In the long run, this doesn\u2019t actually matter since players who have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription can just join Tera Raids online via the Pok\u00e9 Portal and refresh until they see the opposite version\u2019s raid pop up, circumventing the issue. <\/p>

This will also be the first Tera Raid event post-performance update, meaning many of the raids’ worst bugs and visual errors have been fixed. So if you plan on taking on these improved raids and the new Paradox Legends, here is how you can do so. <\/p>
