The Pokémon Company and Game Freak continue to engage players worldwide with fresh post-launch content for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
This weekend, trainers are invited to tackle a formidable 7-Star Tera Raid battle featuring a Flying Tera Type Blaziken bestowed with the Mightiest Mark.
This special event represents one of the few avenues to obtain Blaziken outside of using Pokémon HOME or in-game trades, making it a must-play challenge for competitive and completionist players alike. Blaziken’s 7-Star Tera Raid: Exclusive Rewards and Accessibility Completing the 7-Star Flying Tera Blaziken raid isn’t just about capturing this iconic Fire/Fighting Pokémon in a rare form—it’s also a lucrative opportunity for players to earn high-value rewards.
Victorious trainers can expect to receive valuable items such as Vitamins, Rare Candies, and Ability Patches, which are highly sought-after in the competitive scene.
The event is available to all qualified Nintendo Switch players who have reached end-game content in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. To unlock participation in this advanced event, trainers must first complete several milestones: - Finish the main storyline and view the end credits - Complete all Gym Rematches and the Academy Ace Tournament - Successfully clear at least 10 raids rated 4-star or higher Once these prerequisites are fulfilled, the 7-Star Tera Raid dens will become accessible both on the overworld map and via the game’s Tera Raid board. Blaziken’s Tera Forma and Moveset Breakdown This Blaziken appears in its Flying Tera Type, boosting the power of its Flying-type moves alongside its signature Fire and Fighting arsenal.
Its Speed Boost ability increases Blaziken’s Speed each turn, heightening the need for strategic play.
Key moves include Blaze Kick, Brave Bird, Earthquake, Low Kick, Overheat, Rock Slide, Swords Dance, and Bulk Up. The raid’s difficulty spikes due to Blaziken’s tactical behaviors: - At various HP and time thresholds, it utilizes stat-boosting or cleansing moves like Swords Dance and Bulk Up. - It removes player team buffs at 90% HP and sets a Tera Shield when its HP dips below 80%. - Blaziken will use Overheat and Rock Slide at set HP intervals, posing significant threats to unprepared teams. Top Strategies and Recommended Counters Community-tested strategies emphasize assembling a team of Level 100 Pokémon that resist Blaziken’s Fire, Fighting, and Flying attacks to avoid costly knockouts. Highlighted raid counters include: **Miraidon** (Dragon/Electric) makes use of its Hadron Engine ability to set up Electric Terrain, empowering Electric-type moves.
With a focus on special attack and defense stats, recommended moves include Parabolic Charge, Electro Drift, Metal Sound, and Reflect.
Utilizing Metal Sound to lower Blaziken’s special defense and then attacking with Parabolic Charge and Electro Drift once Terastallized, Miraidon can serve as a highly effective main attacker. **Bellibolt** (Electric) leverages its Electromorphosis ability to power up Electric-type moves after being hit.
Moves like Chilling Water and Acid Spray can reduce Blaziken’s Attack and Special Defense, respectively.
Parabolic Charge sustains Bellibolt’s HP, and Reflect can bolster team defense. **Rotom-Wash** (Electric/Water) comes with immunity to Earthquake via Levitate.
Its recommended set includes Will-O-Wisp to halve Blaziken’s Attack with a burn, Nasty Plot for setup, and Thunderbolt for damage.
Using a Shell Bell restores HP each attack, and Terastallizing into Electric enhances thunderbolt’s effectiveness. **Toxapex** (Poison/Water) acts as a robust supporter.
It employs Chilling Water to lower Attack, Acid Spray for Special Defense reduction, and Rain Dance to weaken Blaziken’s Fire-type attacks, all while using Recover and Black Sludge to stay healthy. Battle Tips: Effective Use of Cheers and Stat Reduction Utilize in-battle Cheers appropriately—for boosting attacks with “Go For It!” or restoring team health with “Heal Up!” When possible, employ moves that lower Blaziken’s stats to either speed up the raid or enhance the team’s resilience. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s ongoing Tera Raid events on Nintendo Switch demonstrate Game Freak’s commitment to delivering rewarding and challenging content.
Whether seeking the rare Mightiest Mark Blaziken or maximizing rewards for competitive play, trainers will find this raid a highlight in the ever-expanding Pokémon universe. Share your best raid strategies and experiences in the comments below.
