Best Pokemon to Solo Drifblim

During the raid, Drifblim's moves revolves around using Stockpile to bolster its Defense and Special Defense. It also uses Strength Sap against physical attackers with boosting moves, restoring lost health depending on the amount of boosts.

You can use Taunt to prevent it from using Stockpile and Strength Sap. You can also use strong physical attacks to damage Drifblim and is more effective if it hasn't used Stockpile yet!

Best Tera Type For Drifblim and Mismagius

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

Drifblim

Mismagius

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	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.
