Summary

The best ability for Chesnaught in Tera Raid Battles is Bulletproof. This gives Chesnaught's immunity to certain moves, improving your survivability against certain Raid Pokemon.

Best Tera Type

We also recommend getting a Chesnaught with a Fighting Tera Type because both Drain Punch and Hammer Arm's damage increase when you Terastallize to Fighting. As a Physical Attacker, Adamant nature would be best.

EV Spread Explanation

Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards Bulky Offense. Max out your HP and Atk EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Defense. Give it Shell Bell to help Chesnaught recover HP after it deals damage.

Tera Raid Strategy

Start Tera Raid battles by using Belly Drum to immediately maximize Chesnaught's Attack stat. Since Belly Drum will bring your HP down to 50%, use Drain Punch for the next few turns to recover HP back to full health.

With Belly Drum boosts, Chesnaught should be able to maintain its HP above 60% with healing from Drain Punch, or through Shell Bell. Once you have enough Tera Orb charge, Terastallize and repeatedly use Hammer Arm until the Raid Pokemon is defeated.

Summary

The best ability for Chesnaught in Tera Raid Battles is Overgrow. This boosts the power of Chesnaught's Grass-type moves once it falls to around 30% HP.

With access to Belly Drum, Chesnaught is set to rival Belly Drum and Azumarill.

Best Tera Type

We also recommend getting a Chesnaught with a Grass Tera Type to further boost Seed Bomb and Giga Drain's damage after Belly Drum and Grassy Terrain setups. As a Slow Hybrid Attacker, Brave nature would be best.

EV Spread Explanation

Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards Bulky Offense. Max out your HP and Atk EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Special Defense. Give it Shell Bell to help Chesnaught recover HP after it deals damage.

Tera Raid Strategy

Start Tera Raid battles by using Belly Drum to immediately maximize Chesnaught's Attack stat. Against most Pokemon, Chesnaught should be able to survive even with 50% HP, giving you space to set up Grassy Terrain.

With Belly Drum and Grassy Terrain boosts, Chesnaught should be able to maintain its HP above 60% with healing from Giga Drain, or through Shell Bell. Continue cycling through Seed Bomb and Giga Drain, depending on your remaining HP, and then Terastallize once you have enough Tera Orb charge to end the raid faster.

Effective Counter Against Water, Ground, and Rock Type Tera Raids

Super Effective (2x)
Not Very Effective (x0.5)
No Effect (x0)	None

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