Every trainer knows some are better than others at certain things, whether it\u2019s single battles, double battles, competitive battles, inflicting statuses, and more. The same can be said when it comes to Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids. The Pok\u00e9mon encountered in them are extremely powerful, especially when they\u2019re Five-Star, Six-Star, or Seven-Star Tera Raids. These monsters are souped up in just about every way, requiring a team of four players to take on. It also has to be done within a specific time limit that reduces each time a Pok\u00e9mon faints. Like everything in Pok\u00e9mon, the best ones for the job depend on various things, including type and the all-new Tera-type mechanic. There are some clear-cut favorites for general use that have proven to be effective time and time again, especially when paired with certain builds incorporating abilities, effort values, held items, moves, nature, and Tera-type. If you\u2019re looking for a surefire way to steamroll through most Tera Raids, including some of the most difficult ones, look no further than these 10 imposing Pok\u00e9mon and their respective builds. Annihilape Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Defiant 252 HP 252 Attack 4 Defense Life Orb Rage Fist Drain Punch Bulk Up Screech Adamant Ghost Annihilape is an excellent choice for most Tera Raids. Use the build above to get the most out of the burly Fighting and Ghost-type Pok\u00e9mon. Start the battle with Bulk Up to increase Attack. Then use Rage Fist over and over again, as the damage it deals increases each time. You can also use Close Combat as an alternative. When in need of a top-up, use Drain Punch to heal. Screech also helps against Pok\u00e9mon with a lot of defense. Azumarill Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Huge Power 252 Attack 252 HP 4 Defense Sitrus Berry Belly Drum Play Rough Liquidation Helping Hand Adamant Fairy Azumarill has been a staple pick among trainers from the very beginning. The build above works well in most Tera Raids. Start off using Belly Drum to max out Attack, then spam Play Rough or Liquidation depending on what\u2019s more effective against the Pok\u00e9mon you\u2019re facing. Helping Hand also increases the damage output of allies, giving them an extra kick. Gholdengo Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Good as Gold 252 HP 252 Special Attack 4 Defense Wise Glasses Nasty Plot Shadow Ball Make It Rain\u00a0Thunderbolt Modest Steel Gholdengo might look like a slacker, but don\u2019t judge a book by its cover. This Steel and Ghost-type Pok\u00e9mon packs a punch. Start off with Nasty Plot to boost Special Attack, then use either Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, or Make it Rain to wear the raid boss down. Make it Rain will deal double damage when Terastallized, so that\u2019ll be the main tool from then on. Iron Hands Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Quark Drive 252 Attack 172 Speed 76 HP Booster Energy Belly Drum Close Combat Thunder Punch Drain Punch Adamant Fighting Like Azumarill, Iron Hands has been wreaking havoc in Tera Raids from the get-go. This mighty Paradox Pok\u00e9mon works in a similar way, too. First, you\u2019ll want to use Belly Drum to max out its Attack, then use Close Combat and Thunder Punch depending on what\u2019s more effective, switching to Drain Punch when in need of a heal. It\u2019s a simple but devastating formula. Flutter Mane Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Protosynthesis 252 HP 252 Special Attack 4 Special Defense Booster Energy Moonblast Shadow Ball Mystical Fire Fake Tears Modest Fairy Flutter Mane is yet another Paradox Pok\u00e9mon that has proven to be effective in Tera Raids. Despite its docile look, this Ghost and Fairy-type Pok\u00e9mon deals an absurd amount of Special Attack damage, especially when Terastallized. Moonblast will be the go-to move, but Shadow Ball and Mystical Fire can come in clutch against certain types, while Fake Tears can be used sparingly to deal even more damage. Koraidon Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Orichalcum Pulse 252 HP 252 Attack 4 Defense Black Belt Collision Course Drain Punch Screech Fire Fang Adamant Fighting The Legendary Paradox Pok\u00e9mon from Scarlet is the perfect companion to take into a Tera Raid. It\u2019s incredibly powerful and durable, and the build above plays into that strength. Start the battle with Screech to lower the raid boss's defense, use Collision Course and Fire Fang as your main damage-dealing moves, and switch to Drain Punch when in need of a heal. Miraidon Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Hadron Engine 252 HP 252 Special Attack 4 Defense Weakness Policy Electro Drift Metal Sound Charge Parabolic Charge Modest Electric The Legendary Paradox Pok\u00e9mon from Violet is also an excellent choice for Tera Raids. This build will help you get the most out of its Electric attacks, making it particularly good against Water and Flying-type Pok\u00e9mon. Use Charge on the first turn to increase the power of Electro Drift, then follow up with Electro Drift. Parabolic Charge is a good alternative when needing to top-up your HP. Perrserker Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Steely Spirit 252 HP 252 Attack 4 Defense Metal Coat Iron Head Screech Taunt Helping Hand Adamant Steel A Perrserker with Steely Spirit deals 50 percent more damage when using Steel-type moves, making it an absolute machine in Tera Raids, especially against the right match-ups. Start with Taunt, then use Iron Head repeatedly to maximize your damage output. Screech and Helping Hand can also come in clutch to help your allies finish the job. Slowbro Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Oblivious 252 HP 252 Special Attack 4 Defense Leftovers Iron Defense Nasty Plot Stored Power Psychic Terrain Modest Psychic Slowbro isn\u2019t the first name that springs to mind when thinking about tearing up Tera Raids, but the Gen I Pok\u00e9mon is an absolute beast when paired with this build. The premise is simple: use Iron Defense three times to make Slowbro an immovable object, then Nasty Plot three times to max out its Special Attack. After that, spam Psychic Terrain to increase the damage of Stored Power, then use Stored Power to dish out a lethal blow. Umbreon Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Synchronize 252 HP 252 Special Defense 4 Defense Leftovers Screech Helping Hand Yawn Fake Tears Calm Ghost Unlike the other Pok\u00e9mon on this list who are all about dealing or absorbing tons of damage, Umbreon shines as a support in Tera Raids. Start off with Screech to drastically lower the raid boss\u2019 defense, then use Helping Hand to increase your allies\u2019 attack by 50 percent, followed by Yawn to put the raid boss to sleep, then repeatedly use Fake Tears to lower its Special Defense.

Every trainer knows some are better than others at certain things, whether it\u2019s single battles, double battles, competitive battles, inflicting statuses, and more. The same can be said when it comes to Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids. The Pok\u00e9mon encountered in them are extremely powerful, especially when they\u2019re Five-Star, Six-Star, or Seven-Star Tera Raids. These monsters are souped up in just about every way, requiring a team of four players to take on. It also has to be done within a specific time limit that reduces each time a Pok\u00e9mon faints. Like everything in Pok\u00e9mon, the best ones for the job depend on various things, including type and the all-new Tera-type mechanic. There are some clear-cut favorites for general use that have proven to be effective time and time again, especially when paired with certain builds incorporating abilities, effort values, held items, moves, nature, and Tera-type. If you\u2019re looking for a surefire way to steamroll through most Tera Raids, including some of the most difficult ones, look no further than these 10 imposing Pok\u00e9mon and their respective builds. Annihilape Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Defiant 252 HP 252 Attack 4 Defense Life Orb Rage Fist Drain Punch Bulk Up Screech Adamant Ghost Annihilape is an excellent choice for most Tera Raids. Use the build above to get the most out of the burly Fighting and Ghost-type Pok\u00e9mon. Start the battle with Bulk Up to increase Attack. Then use Rage Fist over and over again, as the damage it deals increases each time. You can also use Close Combat as an alternative. When in need of a top-up, use Drain Punch to heal. Screech also helps against Pok\u00e9mon with a lot of defense. Azumarill Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Huge Power 252 Attack 252 HP 4 Defense Sitrus Berry Belly Drum Play Rough Liquidation Helping Hand Adamant Fairy Azumarill has been a staple pick among trainers from the very beginning. The build above works well in most Tera Raids. Start off using Belly Drum to max out Attack, then spam Play Rough or Liquidation depending on what\u2019s more effective against the Pok\u00e9mon you\u2019re facing. Helping Hand also increases the damage output of allies, giving them an extra kick. Gholdengo Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Good as Gold 252 HP 252 Special Attack 4 Defense Wise Glasses Nasty Plot Shadow Ball Make It Rain\u00a0Thunderbolt Modest Steel Gholdengo might look like a slacker, but don\u2019t judge a book by its cover. This Steel and Ghost-type Pok\u00e9mon packs a punch. Start off with Nasty Plot to boost Special Attack, then use either Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, or Make it Rain to wear the raid boss down. Make it Rain will deal double damage when Terastallized, so that\u2019ll be the main tool from then on. Iron Hands Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Quark Drive 252 Attack 172 Speed 76 HP Booster Energy Belly Drum Close Combat Thunder Punch Drain Punch Adamant Fighting Like Azumarill, Iron Hands has been wreaking havoc in Tera Raids from the get-go. This mighty Paradox Pok\u00e9mon works in a similar way, too. First, you\u2019ll want to use Belly Drum to max out its Attack, then use Close Combat and Thunder Punch depending on what\u2019s more effective, switching to Drain Punch when in need of a heal. It\u2019s a simple but devastating formula. Flutter Mane Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Protosynthesis 252 HP 252 Special Attack 4 Special Defense Booster Energy Moonblast Shadow Ball Mystical Fire Fake Tears Modest Fairy Flutter Mane is yet another Paradox Pok\u00e9mon that has proven to be effective in Tera Raids. Despite its docile look, this Ghost and Fairy-type Pok\u00e9mon deals an absurd amount of Special Attack damage, especially when Terastallized. Moonblast will be the go-to move, but Shadow Ball and Mystical Fire can come in clutch against certain types, while Fake Tears can be used sparingly to deal even more damage. Koraidon Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Orichalcum Pulse 252 HP 252 Attack 4 Defense Black Belt Collision Course Drain Punch Screech Fire Fang Adamant Fighting The Legendary Paradox Pok\u00e9mon from Scarlet is the perfect companion to take into a Tera Raid. It\u2019s incredibly powerful and durable, and the build above plays into that strength. Start the battle with Screech to lower the raid boss's defense, use Collision Course and Fire Fang as your main damage-dealing moves, and switch to Drain Punch when in need of a heal. Miraidon Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Hadron Engine 252 HP 252 Special Attack 4 Defense Weakness Policy Electro Drift Metal Sound Charge Parabolic Charge Modest Electric The Legendary Paradox Pok\u00e9mon from Violet is also an excellent choice for Tera Raids. This build will help you get the most out of its Electric attacks, making it particularly good against Water and Flying-type Pok\u00e9mon. Use Charge on the first turn to increase the power of Electro Drift, then follow up with Electro Drift. Parabolic Charge is a good alternative when needing to top-up your HP. Perrserker Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Steely Spirit 252 HP 252 Attack 4 Defense Metal Coat Iron Head Screech Taunt Helping Hand Adamant Steel A Perrserker with Steely Spirit deals 50 percent more damage when using Steel-type moves, making it an absolute machine in Tera Raids, especially against the right match-ups. Start with Taunt, then use Iron Head repeatedly to maximize your damage output. Screech and Helping Hand can also come in clutch to help your allies finish the job. Slowbro Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Oblivious 252 HP 252 Special Attack 4 Defense Leftovers Iron Defense Nasty Plot Stored Power Psychic Terrain Modest Psychic Slowbro isn\u2019t the first name that springs to mind when thinking about tearing up Tera Raids, but the Gen I Pok\u00e9mon is an absolute beast when paired with this build. The premise is simple: use Iron Defense three times to make Slowbro an immovable object, then Nasty Plot three times to max out its Special Attack. After that, spam Psychic Terrain to increase the damage of Stored Power, then use Stored Power to dish out a lethal blow. Umbreon Ability EVs Held Item Moves Nature Tera Type Synchronize 252 HP 252 Special Defense 4 Defense Leftovers Screech Helping Hand Yawn Fake Tears Calm Ghost Unlike the other Pok\u00e9mon on this list who are all about dealing or absorbing tons of damage, Umbreon shines as a support in Tera Raids.
