Summary
APokemon Scarlet and Violetplayer crafted a strategy they used to take down the Seven-Star Tera raid boss Charizard the Unrivaled, with the Pokemon Sylveon as the focal point of their plan. ThePokemon Scarlet and Violetplayer also shared their steps to make Sylveon easy to use in solo and group Tera raids, and other players provided feedback on their plan.
Known as the Intertwining Pokemon, Sylveon is the Fairy-type evolution of Eevee, and it was introduced inPokemon X and Yalongside the Fairy type itself. As the most recent Eeveelution introduced to thePokemonfranchise, Sylveon is a pink Pokemon with light blue eyes and ribbons across its body and ears. An Eevee with high friendship and a Fairy-type move learned will evolve into Sylveon upon leveling up. Given that the Fairy type was created to be a hard counter to Dragon-type Pokemon, including Terastallized Pokemon like Charizard the Unrivaled, severalPokemontrainers have created strategies that useFairy Pokemon like Sylveonto great effect.
With the return of Charizard the Unrivaled, aPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayer chose Sylveon to form a strategy around. On Reddit, a user named Pale_Software_3241 shared their build for Sylveon on the r/PokemonScarletViolet subreddit. Thoughstrategies using Magikarp were popularfor taking on Venusaur and Blastoise in previous Seven-Star Tera raid battles, the OP chose to stick with the Fairy types to take down the Dragon-Tera Charizard and could be used either solo or with another player. Their Sylveon build used the Intertwining Pokemon’s Hidden Ability, Pixilate, which turned Normal-type attacks into the Fairy type with a slight potency boost, and gave Sylveon the move Hyper Beam to use in conjunction with this ability. Hyper Beam received another boost thanks to the Life Orb held by Sylveon.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Player Creates Sylveon Strategy Against Charizard
To weaken Charizard and buff Sylveon, the OP also gave the Fairy Pokemon the moves Fake Tears and Calm Mind, with the former lowering Charizard’s special defense. In theirPokemon Scarlet and Violetsolo raid guide, the OP recommended three uses of Calm Mind to start things out. This would then be followed by two uses of Fake Tears, with a Hyper Beam at turn six as the coup-de-grace toCharizard the Unrivaled.
Pale_Software_3241 also recommended thatPokemon Scarlet and Violettrainers max out Sylveon’s effort values (EVs) in special attack and special defense, use Hyper Training, and a three-star Dragon Raid Power sandwich to make things easier. WithSylveon being one of the best Pokemonto bring to Tera raids, only time will tell what strategies players will form in future raid battles.
