This is the first time players can catch Samurott and obtain its evolutionary line in Gen IX, but to do so they will need to conquer what is essentially Scarlet and Violet\u2019s hardest post-game challenge.\u00a0 Seven-star Tera Raid events are designed to be the toughest raids, testing players\u2019 abilities to train the right Pok\u00e9mon and work together against mighty bosses. Whether you team up with friends, randomly match with strangers, or challenge the Unrivaled event solo, you will need to properly prepare yourself.\u00a0 How to beat the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet These seven-star Tera Raids all follow the same format, by bringing in a Pok\u00e9mon previously unavailable in Scarlet and Violet as a level 100 super boss with some additional boosts. This means players will want to make sure they are only bringing a Pok\u00e9mon that is also level 100 because going in with anything less than that could lead to early knockouts and ruined raid attempts.\u00a0 Just like with previous bosses, Samurott will only appear with a Bug Tera Type. This helps it hit harder and avoid some key weaknesses, but you also need to remember it will still have Water-type moves too, so bringing something like a Fire-type as a counter is not a good call. Related: What moves does Samurott know in the Unrivaled Tera Raid event? Thankfully, Samurott is notorious for being easy to counter because it has a limited move pool and is more of an all-rounder, making its attacks a bit less dangerous if it has a mixed spread. This specific build has no Ice-type coverage and is focused on landing increased Critical Hits. Here are some of the best counters you can use to challenge the Unrivalved Samurott. which ends on April 9 and won't return until a later date. Best counters for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Best Corviknight build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Even if Ice-moves were on the table, Corviknight is defensive enough to tank some hits thanks to its natural bulk. Now it is basically the ultimate answer to Unrivaled Samurott since it resists or is immune to every move outside of Aqua Cutter.\u00a0 Get yourself a bulky bird and go to work today. Tera Type: Flying Ability: Pressure When this Pok\u00e9mon is hit by a move, the opponent\u2019s PP lowers by two rather than one. Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, \u2013 Special Attack) Held Item: Leftovers\/Shell Bell Both of these items heal Coriknight in their own ways, giving it additional time on the field without needing to use a move like Roost and waste a turn to heal. EV spread 252 Attack The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, HP and Defense are recommended. Moves Drill Peck\/Brave Bird Screech Reflect\/Roost\/Taunt Best Salamence build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet As soon as it was shown that Unrivaled Samurott would have no access to Ice-type moves, legions of Dragon-types saw their usage rates skyrocket. Salamence most of all thanks to its access to Intimidate and a number of other fantastic moves. Tera Type: Flying Ability: Intimidate Upon entering battle, the opponent\u2019s Attack lowers one stage. Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, \u2013 Special Attack) Held Item: Leftovers\/Shell Bell Since you will likely be focusing on setting up and dealing damage, these items will let you skip out on Roost as a move if you want to while still having some residual healing.\u00a0 EV spread 252 Attack The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, HP and Defense are recommended.\u00a0 Moves Fly\/Dual Wingbeat\/Fire Fang Dragon Dance Roost Best Cloyster build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet If you are worried about Critical Hits, why not simply ignore them? Cloyster has access to plenty of good moves, a high Defense stat, and the ability Shell Armor\u2014which completely negates the chance of a Critical Hit on moves it is hit by.\u00a0 Pack some decent moves for all situations and you should be good to go with this pick.\u00a0 Tera Type: Ice or Water Ability: Shell Armor The opponent\u2019s moves cannot Critical Hit. Nature: Bold (+ Defense, \u2013 Attack) Held Item: Leftovers\/Shell Bell\/Ice Stone If you want some extra HP every turn, pick your poison between Leftovers and Shell Bell. Ice Stone will keep your Snowscape up longer, giving you more turns with boosted Defense without needing to set it back up.\u00a0 EV spread 252 HP The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, Special Attack and Defense are recommended.\u00a0 Moves Chilling Water\/Ice Beam Snowscape Boosts the Defense of all Ice-types, so it can help you live longer Helping Hand\/Life Dew Best Azumarill build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet The king of casual raids returns as a viable option against Unrivaled Samurott, mostly thanks to its duel typing.\u00a0 Azumarill is not the best option out of this list, but if you don\u2019t want to build something new up and have old reliable sitting in your PC box, go ahead and break the glass for Belly Drum. Tera Type: Water Ability: Huge Power The Pok\u00e9mon's Attack stat is doubled while it has this ability. Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, \u2013 Special Attack) Held Item: Shell Bell When this item is held, the holder recovers 1\/8th of the damage it inflicts on its opponents. EV spread 252 Attack The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, HP and Defense are recommended.\u00a0 Moves Belly Drum Liquidation\/Bounce\/Play Rough Helping Hand\/Rain Dance Best Tauros build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Do not bring Fire-types to this raid. But this single build from popular Pok\u00e9mon YouTuber HoodlumCallum shared has been putting in work during this event as long as you play it smart\u2014or have a reliable group to team up with for better communication.\u00a0 With this Paldean Tauros setup, you will bring the Blaze Breed and use Tail Whip on turn one. Even if you die on turn two, just set up Sunny Day when you get back in and start spamming Raging Bull from there. The rest should be history.\u00a0 Tera Type: Fire Ability: Anger Point Increases Attack to maximum level upon taking a critical hit. Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, \u2013 Special Attack) Held Item: Shell Bell When this item is held, the holder recovers 1\/8th of the damage it inflicts on its opponents. EV spread 252 Attack The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, HP and Defense are recommended.\u00a0 Moves Tail Whip Sunny Day Raging Bull Flare Blitz Best Walking Wake build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet This is one of the first seven-star events to roll out after Walking Wake was added to the game, making it the perfect time to roll out one of the weirdest Water-types in the game. Setting up the sun and throwing out Flamethrower is the play.\u00a0 Tera Type: Dragon or Water Ability: Protosynthesis Increases the user's highest stat by 30% (or 50% for Speed) while Sunny Day is activated or if the Booster Energy is attached. Nature: Modest (+ Special Attack, \u2013 Attack) Held Item: Shell Bell When this item is held, the holder recovers 1\/8th of the damage it inflicts on its opponents. EV spread 252 Special Attack The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, HP and Defense are recommended.\u00a0 Moves Sunny Day Flamethrower Chilling Water Noble Roar Best Koraidon build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet This is a bit of a push for Violet players since they likely don\u2019t have access to a Koraidon, but this is a similar situation to Walking Wake where it can take advantage of the sun to put Samurott in a bad situation while getting boosts for itself\u2014and teammates.\u00a0 Tera Type: Fire Ability: Orichalcum Pulse The user changes the weather to Harsh Sunlight for five turns, and boosts its Attack stat by 30% while said weather is active.

This is the first time players can catch Samurott and obtain its evolutionary line in Gen IX, but to do so they will need to conquer what is essentially Scarlet and Violet\u2019s hardest post-game challenge.\u00a0 Seven-star Tera Raid events are designed to be the toughest raids, testing players\u2019 abilities to train the right Pok\u00e9mon and work together against mighty bosses. Whether you team up with friends, randomly match with strangers, or challenge the Unrivaled event solo, you will need to properly prepare yourself.\u00a0 How to beat the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet These seven-star Tera Raids all follow the same format, by bringing in a Pok\u00e9mon previously unavailable in Scarlet and Violet as a level 100 super boss with some additional boosts. This means players will want to make sure they are only bringing a Pok\u00e9mon that is also level 100 because going in with anything less than that could lead to early knockouts and ruined raid attempts.\u00a0 Just like with previous bosses, Samurott will only appear with a Bug Tera Type. This helps it hit harder and avoid some key weaknesses, but you also need to remember it will still have Water-type moves too, so bringing something like a Fire-type as a counter is not a good call. Related: What moves does Samurott know in the Unrivaled Tera Raid event? Thankfully, Samurott is notorious for being easy to counter because it has a limited move pool and is more of an all-rounder, making its attacks a bit less dangerous if it has a mixed spread. This specific build has no Ice-type coverage and is focused on landing increased Critical Hits. Here are some of the best counters you can use to challenge the Unrivalved Samurott. which ends on April 9 and won't return until a later date. Best counters for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Best Corviknight build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Even if Ice-moves were on the table, Corviknight is defensive enough to tank some hits thanks to its natural bulk. Now it is basically the ultimate answer to Unrivaled Samurott since it resists or is immune to every move outside of Aqua Cutter.\u00a0 Get yourself a bulky bird and go to work today. Tera Type: Flying Ability: Pressure When this Pok\u00e9mon is hit by a move, the opponent\u2019s PP lowers by two rather than one. Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, \u2013 Special Attack) Held Item: Leftovers\/Shell Bell Both of these items heal Coriknight in their own ways, giving it additional time on the field without needing to use a move like Roost and waste a turn to heal. EV spread 252 Attack The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, HP and Defense are recommended. Moves Drill Peck\/Brave Bird Screech Reflect\/Roost\/Taunt Best Salamence build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet As soon as it was shown that Unrivaled Samurott would have no access to Ice-type moves, legions of Dragon-types saw their usage rates skyrocket. Salamence most of all thanks to its access to Intimidate and a number of other fantastic moves. Tera Type: Flying Ability: Intimidate Upon entering battle, the opponent\u2019s Attack lowers one stage. Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, \u2013 Special Attack) Held Item: Leftovers\/Shell Bell Since you will likely be focusing on setting up and dealing damage, these items will let you skip out on Roost as a move if you want to while still having some residual healing.\u00a0 EV spread 252 Attack The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, HP and Defense are recommended.\u00a0 Moves Fly\/Dual Wingbeat\/Fire Fang Dragon Dance Roost Best Cloyster build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet If you are worried about Critical Hits, why not simply ignore them? Cloyster has access to plenty of good moves, a high Defense stat, and the ability Shell Armor\u2014which completely negates the chance of a Critical Hit on moves it is hit by.\u00a0 Pack some decent moves for all situations and you should be good to go with this pick.\u00a0 Tera Type: Ice or Water Ability: Shell Armor The opponent\u2019s moves cannot Critical Hit. Nature: Bold (+ Defense, \u2013 Attack) Held Item: Leftovers\/Shell Bell\/Ice Stone If you want some extra HP every turn, pick your poison between Leftovers and Shell Bell. Ice Stone will keep your Snowscape up longer, giving you more turns with boosted Defense without needing to set it back up.\u00a0 EV spread 252 HP The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, Special Attack and Defense are recommended.\u00a0 Moves Chilling Water\/Ice Beam Snowscape Boosts the Defense of all Ice-types, so it can help you live longer Helping Hand\/Life Dew Best Azumarill build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet The king of casual raids returns as a viable option against Unrivaled Samurott, mostly thanks to its duel typing.\u00a0 Azumarill is not the best option out of this list, but if you don\u2019t want to build something new up and have old reliable sitting in your PC box, go ahead and break the glass for Belly Drum. Tera Type: Water Ability: Huge Power The Pok\u00e9mon's Attack stat is doubled while it has this ability. Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, \u2013 Special Attack) Held Item: Shell Bell When this item is held, the holder recovers 1\/8th of the damage it inflicts on its opponents. EV spread 252 Attack The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, HP and Defense are recommended.\u00a0 Moves Belly Drum Liquidation\/Bounce\/Play Rough Helping Hand\/Rain Dance Best Tauros build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Do not bring Fire-types to this raid. But this single build from popular Pok\u00e9mon YouTuber HoodlumCallum shared has been putting in work during this event as long as you play it smart\u2014or have a reliable group to team up with for better communication.\u00a0 With this Paldean Tauros setup, you will bring the Blaze Breed and use Tail Whip on turn one. Even if you die on turn two, just set up Sunny Day when you get back in and start spamming Raging Bull from there. The rest should be history.\u00a0 Tera Type: Fire Ability: Anger Point Increases Attack to maximum level upon taking a critical hit. Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, \u2013 Special Attack) Held Item: Shell Bell When this item is held, the holder recovers 1\/8th of the damage it inflicts on its opponents. EV spread 252 Attack The other 256 can be placed in whatever stat you want. For this raid event specifically, HP and Defense are recommended.\u00a0 Moves Tail Whip Sunny Day Raging Bull Flare Blitz Best Walking Wake build for the Unrivaled Samurott Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet This is one of the first seven-star events to roll out after Walking Wake was added to the game, making it the perfect time to roll out one of the weirdest Water-types in the game. Setting up the sun and throwing out Flamethrower is the play.\u00a0 Tera Type: Dragon or Water Ability: Protosynthesis Increases the user's highest stat by 30% (or 50% for Speed) while Sunny Day is activated or if the Booster Energy is attached.

Time to get back in the seven-star saddle as Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and Violet <\/em>launches its latest Tera Raid event\u2014featuring the Unrivaled Samurott.<\/p>

This is the first time players can catch Samurott and obtain its evolutionary line in Gen IX, but to do so they will need to conquer what is essentially Scarlet <\/em>and Violet\u2019s <\/em>hardest post-game challenge. <\/p>

Seven-star Tera Raid events are designed to be the toughest raids, testing players\u2019 abilities to train the right Pok\u00e9mon and work together against mighty bosses. Whether you team up with friends, randomly match with strangers, or challenge the Unrivaled event solo, you will need to properly prepare yourself. <\/p>
