Hisuian Samurott's Hidden Ability Sharpness boosts the power of cutting moves it can use during the raid, which is the central strategy for this build. Hisuian Samurott can raise its Attack stat with Swords Dance, and attack with either Razor Shell or Aqua Cutter.
For this build, you can let Hisuian Samurott have a Water Tera Type to boost the power of its Water-type attacks. As a physical attacker, an Adamant Nature would be best for Hisuian Samurott to boost its Attack stat even more.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards bulky offense to help with survivability and dealing as much damage as possible. Max out your HP and Attack EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Defense. You can let Hisuian Samurott hold a Shell Bell to give it a recovery option while dealing damage.
Hisuian Samurott Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Optional | Use Taunt to prevent the raid boss from using status moves. |
Turns 2~4 | Use Swords Dance to boost Hisuian Samurott's Attack stat. |
Turns 5~7 | Use Razor Shell to deal damage and build up Tera Orb charge. |
Turns 8+ | Terastallize and use a boosted Aqua Cutter |
At the start of the raid, you can use Taunt to prevent the raid Pokemon from using a status move which may boost its own stats or reduce Hisuian Samurott's stats, or you can immediately start raising your Attack stat with Swords Dance.
Once you maximize your Attack stat boosts you may begin attacking with Razor Shell, which has a chance to lower the target's Defense stat and in turn makes the raid boss more vulnerable to your physical moves.
After fully charging your Tera Orb, Terastallize Hisuian Samurott and use a Tera boosted Aqua Cutter, which has a higher chance to land a critical hit on top of its damage being boosted by Sharpness.
