Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 7-Star Tera Raid Guide: How to Defeat Ice Tera Baxcalibur

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet continue to captivate trainers worldwide with their innovative Tera Raid battles on Nintendo Switch.

This weekend, players are facing one of the toughest challenges yet: a 7-Star Tera Raid featuring Baxcalibur donning an Ice Tera Type and the exclusive Mightiest Mark.

As always, these high-level raids offer an array of sought-after rewards including Vitamins, Rare Candies, Ability Patches, and the fan-favorite Herba Mystica.

With such valuable items at stake, mastering this Tera Raid is essential for any dedicated player. Unlocking 7-Star Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet To access 7-Star Tera Raids like the Ice Tera Baxcalibur event, players must achieve several milestones in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Completion of the main storyline and viewing the end credits is just the beginning.

Trainers are required to complete all Gym Rematches and prevail in the Academy Ace Tournament.

Additionally, participants must successfully finish at least ten raids rated four stars or above.

Once these requirements are fulfilled, the 7-Star Raid will appear both within the overworld and on the Tera Raid board, accessible through the eShop-connected Nintendo Switch system. Baxcalibur’s Abilities and Moveset The featured Baxcalibur boasts an Ice Tera Type, amplifying its power in both Ice- and Dragon-type moves.

This makes it particularly vulnerable to Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel-type attacks, an essential note for trainers developing a strategy.

Baxcalibur comes equipped with the Thermal Exchange ability, which boosts its Attack stat if struck by a Fire-type move and grants immunity to burns.

Its move set is formidable: • Glaive Rush, a devastating Ice-type attack with the added risk of making the user prone to double damage next turn • Earthquake, a wide-reaching Ground-type move • Icicle Crash and Crunch, both of which can cause opponents to flinch • Swords Dance, sharply raising Attack stats Raid Battle Patterns and Recommendations Throughout the battle, Baxcalibur will employ specific strategies.

It typically opens with Swords Dance, invokes the Tera Energy Shield at high HP, and frequently resets both player and its own stats at critical points during the encounter.

Trainers are advised to avoid using Pokémon with vulnerabilities to Ice, Ground, or Dark moves, as repeated fainting lowers the overall battle timer—risking a failed raid if time runs out. Level 100 Pokémon are strongly recommended for this battle.

Maximizing stats through Vitamins and using the "Go For It!" and "Hang Tough!" cheers can make the difference between victory and defeat, whether boosting offensive or defensive capabilities or restoring health and statuses with "Heal Up!". Top Pokémon to Use Against Baxcalibur Orthworm stands out as a prime choice due to its Steel typing and the Earth Eater ability, which heals after Ground-type attacks.

Trainers may want to convert Orthworm’s Tera Type to Fighting by spending 50 Fighting Tera Shards at the Treasure Eatery in Medali.

Recommended moves include Body Press (synergizing with high Defense), Iron Defense, Mud-Slap to lower accuracy, and Protect to shield from attacks.

With an Impish Nature and maxed-out Defense and HP, Orthworm becomes a tank.

The Shell Bell item can help sustain it during the raid. Another top contender is Archaludon, a Dragon/Steel type with the Stamina ability, raising Defense each time it's hit.

With a recommended Fighting Tera Type, Archaludon benefits from the same defensive posture as Orthworm.

Moves like Body Press, Breaking Swipe, Iron Defense, and Protect, combined with maxed HP and Defense stats, prove effective against Baxcalibur’s onslaught. Conclusion The 7-Star Ice Tera Baxcalibur raid in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet stands as a challenging yet rewarding event for Nintendo Switch trainers.

By assembling a prepared team, maximizing stats, and understanding Baxcalibur’s mechanics, players can secure victory and claim some of the most coveted items in the game.
