Hoopa Unbound's ability, Magician, does not contribute much to Tera Raids.
We also recommend getting a Hoopa with a Psychic Tera Type because Psychic gets an increased damage boost from your Psychic Tera type. As a Special Attacker, Modest nature would be best.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards Bulky Offense. Max out your HP and Sp. Atk EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Defense. Give it Shell Bell to heal up any damage you might accrue.
Hoopa Unbound Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turns 1~3 | Use Nasty Plot to boost Hoopa Unbound's Special Attack. |
Turn 4 | Use Psychic Terrain to boost Psychic-type damage. |
Turn 5 | Use Wonder Room if the enemy has a lower Def stat than Sp. Def. |
Turns 6~8 or Low HP | Use Psychic. |
Turns 9+ | Terastallize and continue using Psychic. |
Start Tera Raid Battles by using Nasty Plot three times to boost Hoopa Unbound's Special Attack by six stages. With Hoopa Unbound having one of the highest Sp. Atk stats in the game, boosting it further with Nasty Plot should allow you to clear most raids with ease.
Use Psychic Terrain after to boost Psychic-type damage output, allowing Psychic to deal massive damage. After your initial setup, use Psychic to deal damage against the Raid Pokemon.
Once you have enough Tera Orb charge, Terastallize to further increase your damage output, ending the raid faster.
Since Wonder Room switches Special Defense an Defense of every Pokemon on the field, use it against Pokemon with High Special Defense, but low Defense stats, like Blissey.

Psychic(+6 Sp. Atk, Psychic Tera, Psychic Terrain) 3,012 ~ 3,548 (39.6 ~ 46.6%) |

This Hoopa Unbound Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Fighting, and Poison Type Tera Raid Bosses. If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Bug, Dark or Ghost Type outside of Terastallization, perhaps consider a different build, as Hoopa Unbound will be weak to these Types as a Psychic-Type attacker.

Hoopa's Unbound Forme has amazing offensive capabilities that is only made better by having access to Nasty Plot which makes it a great pick for Raids.
We also recommend getting Hoopa with a Dark Tera Type to increase the damage of Dark Pulse. As a Special Attacker, a Modest nature would work best for this Pokemon.
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards increasing the Pokemon's HP and Sp.Atk stats. Max out these EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Sp. Def. Equip the Pokemon with a Shell Bell to give it passive healing when it uses an attacking move.

---|---|
Optional | Use Taunt to prevent the Raid Boss from using Status moves. |
Turn 1~3 | Use Nasty Plot to boost Hoopa Unbound's Special Attack |
Turns 4~6 | Use Dark Pulse or Tera Blast to build up Tera Orb Charges. |
Turns 8+ | Terastallize and use Dark Pulse or Tera Blast until the Raid Boss is defeated. Feel free to reset any buffs you might have lost. |
Start the raid by setting up Nasty Plot to boost Hoopa Unbound's Sp. Atk. to +6. You can also use Taunt to prevent the Raid Boss from using Status moves.
With maxed out Special Attack, Hoopa Unbound's Dark Pulse and Tera Blast will make quick work out of the Raid Boss.
