Loaded Dice |
The best ability for Cloyster in Tera Raid Battles is Shell Armor, because this Ability protects Cloyster from critical hits. You no longer have to worry about taking extra damage while setting up with Iron Defense.
We also recommend getting a Cloyster with a Rock Tera Type because it will increase Rock Blast's damage. As a Physical Attacker, an Adamant nature would be best.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards a bulky offense to help with survivability and with dealing as much damage as possible. Max out your HP and Attack EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Defense. Loaded Dice gives Cloyster a consistent four hits from its multi-hit moves, in this case, Rock Blast.
Cloyster Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turn 1 | Use Aqua Ring. |
Turns 2~3 | Use Iron Defense twice to offset the Defense drops from Shell Smash later. |
Turns 4~6 | Use Shell Smash three times to maximize Cloyster's Attack to 6 stages. |
Turns 7+ | Terastallize and use Rock Blast. |
Begin the match by using Aqua Ring, to give Cloyster HP recovery throughout the match. After that, start setting up by using Iron Defense twice before using Shell Smash three times. After setting Cloyster up with +6 Attack, use Rock Blast until the enemy is KOd.

This Cloyster Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Fire, Ice, Flying and Bug Type Tera Raid Bosses. If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Fighting, Ground, or Steel Type outside of Terastallization, perhaps consider a different build, as Cloyster will be weak to these Types as a Rock-Type attacker.

How to Make Best Cloyster Tera Raid Build |

|
You can catch a Cloyster with a Rock Tera Type at East Paldean Sea. You can also catch it at North Paldean Sea, and West Paldean Sea.
Make sure to bring a Pokemon that has False Swipe and can inflict a status effect to make it easier to catch.
If the Cloyster build you are following requires it to have a different Tera type, you will need to have 50 Tera Shards of the type you need, and bring it to Medali to have your Pokemon's Tera Type changed.
If it has a different nature, you can use Adamant Mint to change its nature to Adamant.
The easiest way to get this is by buying it from the Chansey Supply shop at Mesagoza for ₽20,000.
How to Change a Pokemon's Nature
If its ability is different from our recommendation, you can use an Ability Capsule to change it.
This item can be bought at Chansey Supply shops for ₽100,000.
