Get ready for another challenging 7-Star Tera Raid in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, this time featuring the fiery Water/Fighting-type starter, Quaquaval! This isn't your average Pokémon battle; prepare for a tough fight. Here's your guide to conquering this formidable foe.
Quaquaval's Weaknesses and Resistances
To succeed in a 7-Star Raid, understanding your opponent is crucial. Quaquaval's Water/Fighting typing makes it vulnerable to Electric, Grass, Fairy, Flying, and Psychic-type moves. Remember, Quaquaval's Tera type during the raid is Water, making Electric and Grass-type attacks exceptionally effective. Conversely, it resists Water, Fire, Ice, Dark, Rock, Bug, and Steel-type moves.
Quaquaval's Moveset
Knowing Quaquaval's moveset is half the battle. Expect a mix of powerful attacks, including: Aqua Step (Water), Brave Bird (Flying), Close Combat (Fighting), Feather Dance (Flying), Ice Spinner (Ice), and Mega Kick (Fighting). Ice Spinner is particularly troublesome, boasting 100% accuracy and clearing any terrain effects. Feather Dance further complicates things by lowering Attack. Quaquaval also utilizes the Moxie ability, boosting its Attack after a knockout – a significant challenge, especially for solo players.
