*Pokemon Scarlet & Violet* is set to host another thrilling 7-Star Tera Raid, this time spotlighting the final Paldea starter, Quaquaval. As with previous starter Tera Raids, overcoming Quaquaval will be no small feat. Here's a comprehensive guide to the best counters for the *Pokemon Scarlet & Violet* 7-Star Quaquaval Tera Raid.
Before diving into a 7-Star Raid, understanding your opponent is crucial. Given that Quaquaval is a Water/Fighting type, it's vulnerable to Electric-, Grass-, Fairy-, Flying-, and Psychic-type attacks. However, during the raid, Quaquaval transforms into a Water Tera type, making Electric and Grass-type moves particularly potent.
For those seeking alternative strategies, neutral attacks are viable, but be aware that Quaquaval resists Water, Fire, Ice, Dark, Rock, Bug, and Steel-type moves.
To effectively counter Quaquaval, familiarize yourself with its moveset during the 7-Star Raid:
While moves like Close Combat and Aqua Step are expected, the inclusion of Flying-type moves like Brave Bird and Feather Dance can disrupt strategies focused on Grass-types. Ice Spinner, with its 100% accuracy and ability to remove terrain, poses a significant challenge. Additionally, Quaquaval's Moxie ability, which boosts its Attack after knocking out a Pokémon, can be particularly troublesome for solo players unless countered effectively.
Eelektross, Miraidon, and Serperior stand out as top choices to counter Quaquaval in *Pokemon Scarlet & Violet*. Each offers unique advantages and can deal substantial damage to the Water Tera-type. Here are detailed movesets and builds for these counters:
Eelektross's key advantage is its resistance to Flying-type moves, making it a solid choice against Quaquaval.
Start with Discharge to potentially Paralyze Quaquaval, creating an opening for your team. Use Sunny Day to weaken Water-type moves, and Gastro Acid to neutralize Moxie.
Miraidon excels in team settings, particularly in disabling Quaquaval's Moxie effect.
After neutralizing Moxie, set up Electric Terrain and repeatedly use Electric Drive. Use Calm Mind and Metal Sound to handle any challenging situations.
Serperior, another starter, can dominate the raid if Ice Spinner is managed effectively.
Use Reflect to bolster defenses, and Light Clay to extend its duration. Counter Ice Spinner with Gastro Acid to disable Moxie, then unleash Leaf Storm and Giga Drain to overpower Quaquaval.
To join the 7-Star Quaquaval Tera Raid, players must first complete the Academy Ace Tournament. This involves defeating all eight Gyms again in the post-game, winning the tournament, and participating in 4 and 5-Star Raids until Jacq unlocks the 7-Star Raid feature.
The Quaquaval Tera Raid event will run from March 14 at 7 PM EST to March 20 at 6:59 PM EST, providing a week-long window to capture Quaquaval and claim rewards.
These are the best counters for the 7-Star Quaquaval Tera Raid in *Pokemon Scarlet & Violet*. Prepare your team and strategies to conquer this challenging raid!
