The best ability for Sandy Shocks is Protosynthesis. This ability allows the Pokemon's highest stat is boosted by 30% if the stat is Attack, Defense, Special Attack, or Special Defense or 50% if the stat is Speed if Harsh Sunlight is active.
We also recommend getting an Sandy Shocks with a Ground Tera Type in order for the Pokemon to lose its weakness to Ground-type moves. As a Special Attacker, a Modest nature would be best.
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards increasing the Pokemon's Special Attack and HP. Max out these EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Defense. Equip the Pokemon with a Booster Energy to immediately activate the ability's effect without the need of Harsh Sunlight active on the field.
At the start of the battle, use Metal Sound to lower the raid Pokemon's Special Defense by two stages. Use Earth Power to further reduce its Special Defense by one stage before it uses its shield and remove all negative status effects. Terastallize to remove Sandy Shocks' weakness to Ground-type moves.
