Decidueye's resistance to Grass and immunity to Fighting-type moves make it a great counter for the 7-Star the opponent Raid.
Overgrow is the best Ability for this build so that Decidueye gets a 50% Attack or Special Attack boost when using a Grass-type move when it has 1/3 of its HP left.
Grass Tera Type is best for this build to give it a boost to its Giga Drain. A Modest Nature is necessary so that it can hit as hard as possible with its special moves.
Max out Decidueye's HP and Sp.Atk EVs while adding the remaining 4 EVs into Defense so that Decidueye can hit as hard as possible with Giga Drain.
For this build, giving it a Shell Bell allows it to recover health while dealing damage stacks with Giga Drain.
Decidueye Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turn 1 | Use Nasty Plot to boost Decidueye's Special Attack. |
Turns 2~4 | Use Giga Drain to deal damage, heal, and build Tera Orb Charge. |
Turns 5+ | Terastallize into a pure Grass-type and use boosted Giga Drain to damage the opponent's shield and eventually KO it. |
Start the battle by using Nasty Plot to boost Decidueye's Sp. Atk, then use Giga Drain to damage the opponent and build up Tera Orb Charge..
Once you have enough Tera Orb charge, terastallize into a pure Grass-type and use boosted Giga Drain to damage the opponent's shield and finish the battle.

This Grass Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Rock, Water, and Ground Tera Raids.
If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Fire, Ice, Flying, Ghost, and Dark-type outside of Terastallization, perhaps use a different build as Decidueye will be weak to these Types.

Overgrow is a great initial Ability for Decidueye that boosts its Attack and Special Attack by 50% when using a Grass move when it has less than 1/3 of its maximum HP.
This is very useful in 6 and 7-Star Tera Raids against exceptionally strong bosses as the increased 50% boost translates to stronger healing from Giga Drain and Shell Bell.

As a special attacker, a Modest Nature is best to ensure that its special attacks hit as hard as possible.
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards bulky offense. Max out your HP and Special Attack to give it as much bulk and special offense as possible while adding the remaining EVs into Defense.

Once Decidueye has enough Tera Orb charge, terastallize into a Flying-type and use STAB Hurricane to damage the Tera Raid boss' shield and finish the battle!

Note: I would not recommend using the regular Decidueye because of Hisui Decidueye's scrappy ability. Also Ogrepon doesn't work at all due to Hisui Decidueye's brave bird attack. Are there any other Pokemon that can be used for solo and not having to rely on a team?
