Decidueye Tera Raid best counters

Players are currently using a single set-up, which is a Miraidon powered up with support Bellibolts as of the writing of this article.

With a Tera Type pilot, Decidueye has reached level 100. It is able to recognize Spirit Shackle, Brave Bird, Very low KickAnd Leaf BladeFeather Dance and Swords Dance are also available. While it does not have any noteworthy guaranteed setup, be sure to keep an eye out for buffs and other debuffs during battle.

Remember that your Pokémon should be at least level 100 when bringing them into seven-star raids. You may be able to get away with not perfectly EV or IV training them, but it’s recommended that you do for easy knockouts.

These raids are not without their challenges. There is a lot of strategies out there, so we’ll be sharing our own strategy. Miraidon, however, does appear to be a very good strategy. TheThis is how to easily clear the raid.

Decidueye Miraidon Tera Raid build

• Nature: Moderation
• Ability: Hadron Engine
• Tera Type: Electric
• EVs: 252 HP/252 Special Attack/4 Defense
• IVs: Maxed HP, Defense, Special Defense, Special Attack
• Holding item Magnet
• Moveset: Charge, Electro Drift, Parabolic Charge, Metal Sound

Miraidon can sweep Decidueye in just two turns if you have support. Just use Electro Drift in the second turn, and Charge the first. You should knock out Decidueye immediately after you’ve been properly debuffed.

If you don’t have the Bellibolt supports below, it will just take multiple hits to take out Decidueye. You can keep your time gauge high by using chants.

You don’t have to use the Miraidon/Bellibolt strategy in order to succeed, but it is a good idea to admit that you can do this without having to. We brought a Bellibolt as a support for Decidueye’s Miraidon in our first event. Even without this strategy, Decidueye was still able to defeat the Miraidon in just two turns. The damage was perfectly timed to prevent Decidueye from putting up a shield.

Other runs had us having three Miraidon allies. We were able power up with Charge and attack with Electro Drift and managed to eliminate the Decidueye in a matter of minutes. You should avoid repeatedly spamming Electro Drift and make sure to buff and debuff.

Decidueye Bellibolt Tera Raid build

• Nature: Bold
• Ability:Static
• Tera Type: Electric
• EVs: 252 HP/252 Defense/4 Speical Defense
• IVs: Maxed HP, Defense, Special Defense, Special Attack

You can run with Miraidon by Acid Spray Decidueye the first turn, and then using an attack-boosting cheer the second turn. Miraidon’s one-hit K.O. will keep you alive with the Focus Sash. magic.

Your job, if you are not running alongside a Miraidon is to just debuff Decidueye’s Swords Dance-boosted attack. Continue spamming Acid spray and Chilling Water to ensure others get clean hits.
