Here Are the Top 10 Strongest Pokemon to Catch in Pokemon Violet’s Tera Raids

Every Pokemon game has its own special phenomenon that gives a Pokemon superhuman strength compared to its regular counterparts.

Mega Evolutions were a staple of the original Pokemon games, while the concept of Dynamax Pokemon was introduced in Sword and Shield.

Terastallization is a phenomenon exclusive to Scarlet and Violet that grants your Pokemon a third type (Tera Type) in addition to its normal type. Pokemon that have been terastalled can be caught in Tera Raids.

Because of the increased rewards, I suggest you try your hand at Tera Raids on a more difficult setting. List of the top Pokemon that can be obtained through Tera Raids and used to dominate in team battles.

10. Glimmora

Type – Rock, Poison

Where to find – 5-star and 6-star Tera Raids

Weak against – Ground, Steel, Psychic, Water

Glimmora has a strange look, but its base attack stats are some of the best in the game. Its base speed is also not too bad.

Glimmora’s Toxic Spikes can easily hurt a Pokemon on the ground that is not a Poison type but is not poison resistant. If you use this skill along with Venoshock, your opponent will die right away. It can also break down the defenses of Tera Raid enemies with its Acid Spray ability.

9. Corviknight

Type – Flying/Steel

Where to find – 5-star and 6-star Tera Raids

Weak against – Fire, Electric

Corviknight

In Sword and Shield, Corviknight made its debut as one of the most useful starter Pokemon. It has impressive defense and power stats, and its typing leaves few if any defensive loopholes.

In addition, more than half of the Pokemon types can be defeated with just Brave Bird and Iron Head. Additionally, its Swagger ability can increase its attack stats while also confusing the target.

8. Clodsire

Type – Poison/Ground

Where to find – 4-star and 6-star Tera Raids

Weak against – Water, Ice, Ground, Psychic

Baxcalibur

With the disappointing omission of Snorlax from Scarlet and Violet’s roster, Clodsire has become a fan favorite replacement. Clodsire’s massive HP and neutral defenses, on the other hand, have earned it a reputation as one of the game’s bulkiest Pokemon.

The poison moves complement its Toxic Spikes ability very well. Not only is Water-type attacks ineffective against it, but it can actually restore some HP when hit by them! Totally mind-blowing, right?

7. Baxcalibur

Type – Dragon/Ice

Where to find – 5-star and 6-star Tera Raids

Weak against – Fighting, Rock, Dragon, Steel, Fairy

Baxcalibur

Baxcalibur’s overwhelming attack power can be seen in some videos that have circulated among Pokemon fans, where it completely annihilates Area One’s Paradox Pokemon in just one turn. This is due to its massive 145 attack power.

In a hailstorm, Baxcalibur’s moves become even more powerful, and it possesses nearly every powerful move of its typing, including Crunch and Ice Beam.

Furthermore, Thermal Exchange protects Baxcalibur from being burned by Fire-type moves and increases its high attack even more when hit by one.

6. Ceruledge

Type – Fire/Ghost

Where to find – 5-star and 6-star Tera Raids

Weak against – Water, Ground, Dark, Ghost, Rock

When describing Ceruledge, the adage “appearances can be deceiving” rings true. Ceruledge is not only one of the strongest Pokemon in the game, but also one of the most beautiful Pokemon in Violet’s lineup.

Ceruledge is a late-bloomer, so its move set won’t help you in the beginning stages of the game. After level 48, however, you can learn Bitter Blade, this Pokemon’s best move. Bitter Blade can undo half the damage it deals.

5. Garganacl

Type – Rock

Where to find – 5-star and 6-star Tera Raids

Weak against – Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Steel

4. Annihilape

Type – Fighting/Ghost

Where to find – 5-star and 6-star Tera Raids

Weak against – Flying, Psychic, Ghost, Fairy

Annihilape

The legend of Annihilape’s creation is hilarious. There are rumors that this Pokemon got so worked up that it killed itself. On the other hand, this Pokemon’s stats are among the most well-rounded in the game.

One of Annihilape’s best attacks is Rage Fist, which gains 50 more power with each successful hit. There is no way to reset the hit counter, not even by switching characters or passing out. As soon as Annihilape dies, simply bring it back to life and continue attacking your foe until they succumb to your onslaught.

3. Garchomp

Type – Dragon/Ground

Where to find – 5-star and 6-star Tera Raids

Weak against – Ice, Dragon, Fairy

Garchomp
Garchomp

Garchomp has been a fan favorite in many Pokemon games because it is a low-investment Pokemon with a 130 attack stat, decent bulk, and amazing speed.

It can perform a wide range of moves, including Earthquake, Crunch, and Dragon Claw. Its diverse move set makes it quite versatile, and it can fit into any team. Furthermore, compared to other Pokemon games, you can catch Gibe quite early in Pokemon Violet.

2. Palafin

Type – Water

Where to find – 5-star Tera Raids

Weak against – Electric, Grass

Palafin
Palafin

Palafin’s main flaws are its unimpressive design and its tough innovation technique, which can only be unlocked in co-op. However, Palafin’s Hero Form, which can be unlocked by switching Palafin out of battle, places it second on this list.

Palafin’s Hero Form has one of the game’s highest attack stats, clocking in at around 160. Simply keep Palafin in command of your team and swap it out in Turn 1 to activate its Hero Form.

Palafin also has some great melee moves, such as Acrobatics, that work extremely well with its high speed, making it a formidable underdog in Pokemon Violet.

1. Gardevoir

Type – Psychic/Fairy

Where to find – 5-star and 6-star Tera Raids

Weak against – Poison, Ghost, Steel

The dependable old Gardevoir takes the top spot, as he is easy to catch in the early game and doesn’t require much effort to level up.

The Pokemon Gardevoir is the best to obtain in Tera Raids due to its powerful Moon Blast, which can easily be used to deal one hit kills against many opponents. In addition to being able to use Aura Sphere to protect itself, Gardevoir also has access to the devastating attacks of Thunder Punch and Shadow Ball.

Gardevoir’s abilities are greatly improved when exposed to Tera types as well. A Ghost Tera Type Gardevoir, for instance, gains insanity in its Shadow Ball attack.

In Pokemon Violet, Gardevoir is among the best special attackers due to its adaptability and accessibility.

Use these methods to defeat and capture all of the amazing Tera Raid Pokemon.

1. Attack tanky bosses when their defense stat is extremely low. First, use defense-lowering Pokemon to reduce their defense.

2. 5-star raids can be soloed by a Belly Drum user, so always bring one with you.

3. Physical attackers require Fake Tears/Acid Spray/Metal Sound teams, while special attackers require Screech teams.

4. Be patient and try again if the boss clears your team’s stats or the stats inflicted on it.

5. If the boss raises a shield, Terastallize when your HP is high and use moves like Acid Spray to boost your stats while reducing the shield.

Pokémon

The 1996 video game Pokémon is set in a world where humans hunt for monsters and keep them in miniature plastic containers called poke-balls.

These beings have a special connection to one or more elements, which grants them access to powers beyond those of regular humans.
