Summary

Summary
Magnet Rise gives Earth Power Immunity. Immunity to Dragon moves and take neutral from Steel type moves. Boost damage with Metal Sound and Calm Mind!

Best Tera Type

We recommend getting a Klefki with a Fairy Tera Type to increase the damage of Dazzling Gleam.

As a Special Attacker, a Modest nature would be best.

EV Spread Explanation

Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards bulky offense to increase survivability while dealing as much damage as possible. Max out its Sp. Atk and Sp. Def EVs, while adding the rest into HP.

Give it a Shell Bell so that it can heal itself while using its attacking moves.

Tera Raid Strategy

Klefki Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy
Turn 1	Use Magnet Rise to make Klefki immune to Earth Power.
Turns 2~3	Use Calm Mind to boost Klefki's Sp. Atk and Sp. Def to +2.
Turn 4	Use Metal Sound to reduce Palkia's Sp. Def to -2.
Turn 5	Use Dazzling Gleam to build up Tera Orb charge and heal Klefki.
Turn 6	Reset Magnet Rise to keep Klefki immune to Earth Power.
Turns 7~9	Use Calm Mind to continue boosting Klefki's Sp. Atk and Sp. Def.
Turns 10+	Use Dazzling Gleam until Dialga is defeated. Don't forget to Terastallize when possible.

At the start of the raid, use Magnet Rise to make Klefki immune to Dialga's Earth Power. Follow that up with 2 Calm Mind boosts to help Klefki's damage output and ability to tank Dialga's attacks.

Next use Metal Sound and Dazzling Gleam to reduce Dialga's Sp. Def and heal Klefki respectively. After the Dazzling Gleam turn, Magnet Rise should have worn out so make sure to use it again to keep Klefki immune to Earth Power.

Once Magnet Rise has been reset, use Calm Mind 3 times to get Klefki enough Sp. Atk and Sp. Def boosts to help it knockout Dialga by spamming Dazzling Gleam. Also, don't forget to Terastallize when possible to increase Klefki's damage output.

Key Damage Calculations

Damage Dealt by Klefki

Effective Counter Against 5-Star Palkia

Using this strategy it should take approximately 11~15 turns to take out 5-Star Palkia. More turns may be required, depending on when it will put up its shield and reset stat changes.

Summary

Klefki's great bulk and typing let's it be a great counter to a lot of offensive threats. With Magnet Rise, it also gets immunity to Earthquake that a lot of Rock and Ground types usually carry.

Prankster is the best Ability for this Klefki so that it gets priority to its status moves.

Best Tera Type

Steel Tera Type is best for this build to give it a boost to its Flash Cannon. An Modest Nature is necessary so that it can hit as hard as possible with its special moves.

EV Spread Explanation

Max out Klefki's HP and Sp.Atk EVs while adding the remaining 4 EVs into Defense.

For this build, giving it a Shell Bell allows it to recover health while dealing damage and is the only way Klefki can recover lost health.

Tera Raid Strategy

Klefki Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy
Turn 1	Use Magnet Rise to give Klefki Immunity to Earthquake.
Turns 2~4	Use Metal Sound three times to lower the opponent's Sp.Def by 6 stages.
Turn 5~7	Use Flash Cannon to build Tera Orb charge
Turns 8+	Terastallize and use boosted Flash Cannon until Chesnaught is defeated..

Start the battle by using Magnet Rise to give Klefki immunity to Ground-type moves for five turns*.

Use Metal Sound three times to lower the opponent's Sp.Def by six stages, and then use Flash Cannon to deal damage and build up Tera Orb Charge. Take note that even if Klefki gets knocked out, it will still retain its Tera Orb charge.

Remember to use Magnet Rise again after 5 turns, to maintain Klefki's immunity to Earthquake.

Once you have enough Tera Orb charge, terastallize into a pure Steel-type and repeatedly use boosted Flash Cannon to damage the tera raid boss' shield until you finish the battle!

Effective Counter Against Ice, Rock, Fairy Tera Raids

Super Effective (2x)
Not Very Effective (x0.5)
No Effect (x0)	None

This Steel Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Ice, Rock, Fairy Tera Raids.

If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Ground, Fire-type outside of Terastallization, perhaps use a different build as Klefki will be weak to these Types.

Best Tera Type

We also recommend getting a Klefki with a Psychic Tera Type to further increase the damage of Stored Power. As a Special Attacker, a Modest nature would be best.

EV Spread Explanation

Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards a bulky offense to help with survivability while also dealing as much damage as possible. Max out your HP and Sp. Atk EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Special Defense. Give it Sitrus Berry to help Klefki restore HP in a pinch.

Tera Raid Strategy

Turns 6~8	Use stat boosted Stored Power to deal Super Effective damage against the opponent.
Turns 9+	Terastallize and use stat boosted, STAB Stored Power.

Start the battle off by using Calm Mind to raise Klefki's Sp. Atk and Sp. Defense. Use Iron Defense three times to increase Klefki's Defense by 6 stages. After getting the boosts from Calm Mind and Iron Defense, use stat boosted Stored Power to deal super effective damage against the opponent.

Recycle serves as a way to keep Klefki healthy.
