EV Spread Explanation

Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards increasing the Pokemon's HP and Attack. Max out your HP, and Atk EVs, while putting the remaining points into Special Defense. This allows Meloetta to have decent bulk, while still having high offense.

Give Meloetta a Metronome to boost the damage output of Drain Punch by 10% each time it is used consecutively!

Tera Raid Strategy

Start out the Tera Raid Battle by using Relic Song immediately to change forms.

Follow with Swords Dance 3 times to max out your Attack stat. Use Drain Punch when HP is Low to regain HP.

If it's not already up, use Charm to raise your party's bulk to Physical attacks.

Proceed to attack consecutively with Drain Punch to boost it's damage each turn, while also replenishing your HP.

Terastallize when you get a chance, to further boost your damage output and break through the Raid Boss' Energy Shield!

Summary

The best ability for Meloetta in Tera Raid Battles is Serene Grace. While this is the only ability Meloetta has access to, Meloetta can make use of this ability by saving up a few turns of setting up by boosting Psychic's ability to lower the opponent's Sp. Def.

We also recommend getting a Meloetta 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.

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