The Next Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Battle Event Has Been Revealed

That is pretty soon.

Fire. Fire. Fire. Also psychic, maybe. But mainly fire.

Interesting.

Probably another one Kingambit's going to be well equipped for.

@RupeeClock Fire > Flying and also strong against the grass attacks that are going to be coming in. The issue will be the ghost attacks too. I main Iron Hands with bright powder so will try it, but I think those strong grass attacks are going to be a problem.
EDIT: sorry, was wrong about fire strong against flying. But I do think the flying is resistant to fighting (drain punch)?

@riChchestM I'm not sure you understand how typings work. Fire isn't strong against flying. Electric, Ice or Rock types will be best here.

@RupeeClock Yes, sorry! I've edited original comment.

@RupeeClock Probably be a good fit but I kind of just am reluctant to use Iron Hands on principle at this point after frustration with how many people seem to think it's the solution to EVERY raid even though it's often completely useless.

Generally, wouldn't a Rock Tera type make more sense for a Decidueye? Flying Tera would deter Bug attacks (and Ground, but Grass is already resistant to those), but Rock Tera is resistant to more types — Bug, Ice, Fire, and Flying — that would otherwise be advantageous against Decidueye.

Another Raid for Iron Hands to carry.

I could see Iron Hands actually being quickly overwhelmed in this one. It's so slow it's probably going to have to tank two Brave Birds or Hurricanes before it can do anything and combine with Belly Drum it's going to be a serious detriment to its survivability. Especially since Drain Punch isn't going to be a good option.

The best counter to this raid is Kingambit using Shell Bell. Use Atk/HP EVs with 4 in defense. Use Stone Edge with 3 PP Up's and Swords Dance. Use Defiant Hidden ability to counter Feather Dance. Kingambit resists all grass, ghost and flying attacks, so you shouldn't really die in this raid.

There are other counters, like using Klefki or Magnezone for support mons. Reflect is going to be really good in this raid. Also, Metal Sound can be really nice if you pair these up with Miraidon.

While Iron Hands with Thunder Punch will be okay, it could be risky. Kingambit has no such defensive risks at all. Iron Hands can deal enough damage to end the raid a little faster, but will take 2x as much damage as Kingambit would.

Anyway, happy raiding! I hope this helped.

I can't help but think this is gonna be another trap for Miraidon users, just like the Pikachu raid. I'm curious how they're going to handle the weakness Decidueye has to Electric types. Good luck folks, we're all gonna need some.
