This weekend, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players on Nintendo Switch are gearing up for the latest special 7-Star Tera Raid, which spotlights the formidable Ghost Tera Type Typhlosion.
Developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokemon Company, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have maintained a thriving raid ecosystem since their launch in November 2022, offering players limited-time opportunities to capture rare or otherwise unobtainable Pokemon.
This highly anticipated Typhlosion event is the exclusive method to add Typhlosion to your team at present, while also providing generous rewards like Vitamins, Rare Candies, and Ability Patches for completing the challenge. Unlocking 7-Star Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet To access the 7-Star Typhlosion raid, players must meet three specific criteria: finish the main game and watch the end credits, complete every Gym Rematch along with the Academy Ace Tournament, and finish at least ten 4-Star or higher Tera Raids.
Once these tasks are completed, the 7-Star Raid will become available via your Tera Raid board and as an encounterable crystal in the overworld. Typhlosion’s Raid Profile: Moveset and Battle Behavior The event Typhlosion comes with a Ghost Tera Type, meaning its Ghost-type moves receive a power boost when it Terastalizes, in addition to maintaining its strong Fire-type offense.
Typhlosion features the Flash Fire ability, granting it immunity to Fire-type moves and boosting the power of its own Fire attacks when hit by them.
The moveset includes: - Eruption (Fire): A powerful special attack that targets all opponents, decreasing in power as Typhlosion’s HP falls. - Shadow Ball (Ghost): A hard-hitting Ghost move with a chance to lower the opponent’s Special Defense. - Play Rough (Fairy): A physical move that can drop the opponent’s Attack. - Earthquake (Ground): Hits all foes with strong ground damage. - Sunny Day: Sets sunny weather, boosting Fire-type moves and reducing Water-type effectiveness. During the raid, Typhlosion will initially remove buffs from your Pokémon and suspend your abilities for a single turn.
When its HP dips, it uses Sunny Day to supercharge its firepower and follows up with Eruption.
At half health or below, it will reset its own stat changes and clear debuffs. Tips, Counters, and Battle Recommendations - Avoid taking Pokémon vulnerable to Fire, Ghost, Fairy, or Ground moves to maximize survivability and prevent time penalties from faints. - Bring Level 100 Pokémon, maximize vital stats using Vitamins, and utilize in-raid Cheers like "Go For It!" and "Heal Up!" strategically. - Moves that reduce Typhlosion’s Defense or Special Defense can help you dish out more damage.
Lowering its Attack or Special Attack provides greater staying power. - Consider Dark or Ghost Tera types to effectively challenge Typhlosion’s Tera Shield. - Weather manipulation (Rain, Sandstorm) can counteract the impacts of Sunny Day. Recommended Pokémon and Strategies 1.
**Annihilape** - With its Defiant ability (boosting Attack when stats drop) and Ghost/Fighting typing, Annihilape can tackle Typhlosion solo.
Use Screech to lower defense, then repeatedly unleash Rage Fist—its power accumulates every time Annihilape is hit. - Adamant Nature, maxed Attack/HP stats, and Shell Bell as a healing item are advised.
Terastalize at full HP, and keep applying Rage Fist until the raid is complete. 2.
**Tyranitar** - Its Rock/Dark typing resists key Typhlosion moves, and the Sand Stream ability increases Tyranitar’s Special Defense.
Start with Screech, attack with Crunch, and use Iron Defense as needed.
Terastalize into Dark for optimal damage.
Shell Bell aids recovery during intense moments. 3.
**Chi-Yu** - Boasting Fire/Dark typing and the Beads of Ruin ability (reducing all Pokémon’s Special Defense), Chi-Yu excels when using Nasty Plot and Dark Pulse.
Run Modest Nature and focus on Special Attack and HP.
Taunt neutralizes Sunny Day, while moves like Reflect can reduce damage from Earthquake and Play Rough.
Remain on the offensive with Terastalized Dark Pulse. 4.
**Dachsbun** - Thanks to its Well-Baked Body ability and Fairy typing, Dachsbun is immune to Fire moves and can act as strong support.
Use Snarl and Charm to weaken Typhlosion, Helping Hand to assist offensive teammates, and Crunch to break Tera Shields when Terastalized.
Equip Ability Shield to prevent ability nullification. The Typhlosion 7-Star Raid in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet stands as both a challenge and an opportunity to expand your collection with a rare regional variant, while reaping substantial rewards.
Stay connected to the ongoing schedule of Tera Raids via Nintendo Direct announcements and the Switch eShop to ensure you never miss your next chance at competitive glory. For more official updates and full event details, visit the in-game news or the official Pokemon website.
