Hydration lets it get more benefits from Rain. Rain lowers damage from Fire-type moves. Weather Ball's damage doubles under Rain. |
The best ability Vaporeon has access to for this raid is Hydration. This will allow it to heal itself off any Status Conditions as long as it is Raining. This is very useful against Pokemon that like to inflict status conditions.
You can choose between Surf or Weather Ball for this build with Weather Ball being used for a bit more damage while Surf is more accessible for those who do not have the DLC unlocked.
We also recommend getting a Manaphy with a Water Tera Type to boost the power of Weather Ball or Surf. As a Special Attacker, Modest nature would be best.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards Bulky Offense. Max out your Sp.Def and Sp. Atk EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into HP. Give it a Shell Bell to keep its HP topped up so Water Spout will always be at its max power.
Vaporeon Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turns 1~3 | Use Fake Tears to lower the Raid Boss' Sp. Def to -6. |
Optional | Use Calm Mind for some Sp. Atk buffs. You should do this after the raid boss clears buffs. |
Turn 4 | Use Rain Dance to boost the damage from your moves. |
Turns 5+ | Use either Surf or Weather Ball and Terastallize when you are able to. Set Rain back up as needed. |
This strategy capitalizes on using using Fake Tears to easily shred the opponent's Sp. Def and Buffing yourself up with Calm Mind.
Rain Dance is used in two ways, to heal off any Status Conditions and also boosting your own Surf or Weather Ball's damage.
Damage Dealt by Vaporeon |

Weather Ball(+2 Sp. Atk, Rain, Water Tera) 5,884 ~ 6,924 (68.3 ~ 80.4%) |

Surf(+2 Sp.Atk, Rain, Water Tera) 5,296 ~ 6,232 (61.5 ~ 72.3%) |

This Vaporeon Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Fire, Ground and Rock Type Tera Raid Bosses. If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Grass, or Electric Type outside of Terastallization, perhaps consider a different build, as Vaporeon will be weak to these Types as a Water-Type attacker.

Covert Cloak |
The best ability for Vaporeon against Inteleon is Water Absorb. This allows Vaporeon to be completely immune from Water-type attacks, and heal from it instead.
We also recommend getting a Vaporeon with a Psychic Tera Type to boost the damage of Stored Power after Terastallizing. As a Special Attacker, a Modest nature would be best.
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards bulky offense to help with survivability, while increasing your maximum damage output. Max out your HP, and Sp. Attack EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Defense. Covert Cloak protects Vaporeon from the additional effects of moves, such as Gunk Shot's poison chance.
Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turn 1 | Use Acid Armor to boost your Defense against the opponent's Physical moves. |
Turn 2 | Use Aqua Ring to set up passive healing. |
Turn 3~5 | Use Acid Armor again to boost your Defense. |
Turns 6~8 | Use Calm Mind to further boost the power Stored Power |
Turns 9+ | Use stat-boosted Stored Power to deal Super Effective Damage. Terastallize once you have enough Tera charge to deal multi stat boosted STAB Super Effective damage. |
How to Make Best Vaporeon Tera Raid Build |

Eevee Locations |
You can find and catch an Eevee at South Province Area Two. Eevee evolves into a Vaporeon when given a Water Stone.
Make sure to bring a Pokemon that has False Swipe and can inflict a status effect to make it easier to catch.
Wild Eevee will always have Normal Tera type when caught in the wild. To change its Tera type, simply go to the Treasure Eatery in Medali with 50 Ground Tera Shards.
Keep in mind that you need to defeat Gym Leader Larry to change your Pokemon's Tera type at the Treasure Eatery.
