The best ability for Falinks in Tera Raid Battles is Defiant which raises its Attack by two stages whenever a stat is lowered.
We also recommend getting a Falinks with a Fighting Tera Type to boost the power of its Fighting-type STAB moves. As a physical-oriented defensive attacker, an Impish nature is best so that Falinks' Body Press hits as hard as possible.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards physical bulk to increase the power of Body Press. Max out your HP and Def EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Atk.
Giving Falinks a Shell Bell allows it to heal damage while attacking.
Falinks Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turn 1 | Use Rock Smash three times to deal damage and build up Tera Orb Charge. Note: Even if Falinks gets knocked out, it will still retain its Tera Orb charges. |
Turns 2~4 | Use Iron Defense three times to raise Falinks' Defense by 6 stages. |
Turns 5~6 | Use Focus Energy to raise Fallinks' critical hit ratio by two stages, then a Heal Up cheer to recover lost health. |
Turns 7+ | Terastallize into a Fighting-type and use boosted Body Press to finish the battle. |
Start the battle by using Rock Smash to deal damage while building up Tera Orb charge. This move has a 50% chance to lower the target's Defense by one stage. Take note that even if Falinks faints, it retains its Tera Orb charges.
Once Chesnaught resets all stat changes, use Iron Defense three times to raise its Defense stat by six stages. Next, use Focus Energy to raise its critical hit ratio by two stages followed by a Heal Up cheer to recover lost health.
Once you have enough Tera Orb charge, terastallize into a Fighting-type and use boosted Body Press to finish off the battle!

Not Very Effective (x0.5) | |

This Fighting Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Ice, Normal, Rock, Dark and Steel Tera Raids.
If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Flying, Psychic, or Fairy-type outside of Terastallization, perhaps use a different build as Falinks will be weak to these Types.
