Armarouge and Ceruledge Tera Raid Event: Best Types and Rewards

Difficult to Obtain Version Exclusive Pokemon

Charcadet Evolution Line
Charcadet	Give 10 Bronzor Fragments to the man in Zapapico near the Poison Team Star Base →	Armarouge
	Give 10 Sinistea Chips to the man in Zapapico near the Poison Team Star Base →	Ceruledge

Armarouge and Ceruledge are Pokemon Scarlet and Violet version exclusive Pokemon respectively. They are also tedious Pokemon to obtain, as they require you defeat 10 Bronzor or Sinistea in order to get enough fragments/chips to be able to evolve them in their respective versions.

Once obtained however, both are very useful Pokemon, with Ceruledge being an excellent Solo 6-Star Blissey Counter, while Armarouge is the key player in a dedicated One Turn 7-Star Greninja OHKO Strategy!

Best Tera Type for Armarouge and Ceruledge

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

Armarouge

Ceruledge

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 Armarouge and Ceruledge in story playthroughs or Tera Raids.

You can obtain Fire Tera Type Armarouge and Fire Tera Type Ceruledge by catching wild Charcadets, 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.

Low Possibility for Shiny Armarouge and Ceruledge Raid

Check the Map for Sparkling Tera Raid Crystals

Event Tera Raids in Yellow Cards

An important note to keep in mind is that event Tera Raids will have yellow event cards, which can be observed from the Tera Raid preparation screen or the Tera Raid Battle Search menu in Poke Portal.

This is useful so you can determine if the Tera Raid you found or will join is an event raid, and not just a regular one!
