- Raichu – Utilizing a Pikachu’s evolved form with moves like Thunderbolt can provide both familiarity and effectiveness.
- Rillaboom – Its Grass-type moves, such as Wood Hammer and Drum Beating, are potent against Water types.
- Lanturn – With its Electric/Water typing, Lanturn can resist Water moves while dealing strong Electric-type damage.
These Pokémon offer a blend of speed, power, and strategic advantages, ensuring a solid lineup for tackling the raid.
Whether you’re battling the Mighty Pikachu in Tera Raids or hunting for Shiny variants in Mass Outbreaks, these events provide a wealth of exciting opportunities for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players. Mark your calendars for July 12th and get ready to dive into these thrilling new challenges!
