We recommend getting a Scream Tail with a Fairy Tera Type because of its immunity to Dragon and the boost it gives to its Fairy-type STAB. As a Physical Tank with low Special Attack, a Careful nature would be best.
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards a Specially defensive-focused tank that buffs allies with Noble Roar and Helping Hand, while debuffing opponents by attacking with Play Rough. As such, Max out your Sp. Def and HP EVs while adding the remaining EVs into Attack. We recommended giving Scream Tail a Booster Energy to activate its Protosynthesis Ability.
