Best Pokemon to Solo Mismagius

Use Physical Attackers (With Taunt)

Mismagius has a high Special Defense stat, so it is best to use physical attacks to damage and defeat it. It also uses Mystical Fire to lower the target's Special Attack, which means special attackers are not a good match up against it.

It also has a high Special Attack stat, so avoid using Ghost-type Pokemon to counter a Mismagius with a Ghost Tera Type. Focus on using Dark-type Pokemon instead, particulary physical attackers that can take advantage of Mismagius' lower Defense stat.

Best Tera Type For Drifblim and Mismagius

For Tera Raids: Same Tera Type as One of Their Regular Types

Drifblim ImageDrifblim
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Ghost Type Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Flying Type Icon
Mismagius ImageMismagius
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Ghost Type Icon

By aligning a Pokemon's original Type with its Tera Type and using a move of that same Type, you can deal maximum damage. Therefore, if you are unsure of what Tera Type to go with, that is a great starting point for using Drifblim and Mismagius in story playthroughs or Tera Raids.

You can obtain Ghost or Flying Tera Type Drifblim and Ghost Tera Type Mismagius by catching wild Drifloon or Misdreavus with those Tera Types, but they can also appear fully-evolved in these Tera Raids with those Tera Types and better IVs compared to those caught in wild encounters.

Drifblim and Mismagius Raid Event Details

Tera Raids and Above May Feature Drifblim With Hidden Ability

Pokemon Hidden Ability
Drifblim ImageDrifblim Flare Boost
Increases Special Attack by 50% when the user is burned.

Tera Raids that are 4-Stars and up sometimes feature Pokemon with their Hidden Ability, so this is a rare opportunity to catch Drifblim with its Hidden Ability, Flare Boost. Mismagius does not have a Hidden Ability and will always have Levitate.

There is a (Low) Chance of Encountering a Shiny Event Raid

Drifblim and Mismagius can both be shiny, however it is only regular odds, which are quite low. If you would like to get yourself a shiny Drifblim and Mismagius it is better to instead hunt their basic forms, Drifloon and Misdreavus, by eating sandwiches with Sparkling Power and finding areas where only those Pokemon appear to Shiny Hunt them.
