EV Spread Explanation

Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards bulky offense. Max out your HP and Sp.Atk EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Special Defense.

Giving Farigiraf a Shell Bell ensures it gets passive healing from its attacks.

Tera Raid Strategy

Start the battle by using Skill Swap to swap Abilities with Typhlosion. Although Farigiraf will lose its immunity to Grass-types, it will instead get an immunity to Fire-types thanks to Flash Fire.

Use Light Screen to raise your team's Special Defense. Then, use Shadow Ball to deal super effective damage to Typhlosion while also building up Tera Orb Charge. Take note that even if Farigiraf faints, it will still retain its Tera Orb Charge.

Once Typhlosion resets stat changes, use Nasty Plot three times to raise its Sp.Atk by 6 stages. Then, terastallize into a Ghost-type and use boosted Shadow Ball to damage Typhlosion's shield and finish the battle!

Effective Counter Against Ghost and Psychic Type Tera Raids

Super Effective (2x)
Not Very Effective (x0.5)
No Effect (x0)

This Ghost Tera Raid Build is also an effective counter to Ghost and Psychic-type Tera Raid Bosses. If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Dark Type outside of Terastallization, perhaps consider a different build, as Farigiraf will be weak to these Types.
