The best ability for Rayquaza in Tera Raid Battles is Air Lock. While it's Rayquaza's only ability, this ability can be used defensively against Tera Pokemon that like to use Weather and move combinations like Thunder in Rain or Blizzard in Snow.
We also recommend getting a Rayquaza with a Flying Tera Type to buff its Flying-type moves further. Since it's a Physical Attacker, an Adamant nature is best to boost its offenses.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards a 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 also let it hold a Shell Bell to regain lost health upon attacking.
Rayquaza Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turns 1-3 | Use Swords Dance to max out your Attack stat. |
Turns 4~6 | Use Aerial Ace to build Tera Orb Charge. |
Turns 7+ | Terastallize and use Dragon Ascent to quickly defeat the Tera Raid Boss. |
Start by maxing out your attack with Swords Dance. Rayquaza has access to both Aerial Ace and Dragon Ascent, use these moves to quickly defeat the opponent with powerful Flying-type Moves.
It is recommended to use Dragon Ascent after terastallizing since it lowers Rayquaza's defense stats.

This Rayquaza Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Grass, Fighting, and Bug Type Tera Raid Bosses. If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Fairy, Ice or Dragon Type outside of Terastallization, perhaps consider a different build, as Rayquaza will be weak to these Types as a Flying-Type attacker.

Alternatively, you can transfer Rayquaza into Scarlet and Violet via Pokemon HOME! Check out where you can obtain them in our other guides!
How to Transfer Pokemon from Pokemon HOME
If the Rayquaza build you are following requires it to have a different Tera type, you will need to have 50 Tera Shards of the type you need, and bring it to Medali to have your Pokemon's Tera Type changed.
If it has a different nature, you can use Adamant Mint to change its nature to Adamant.
The easiest way to get this is by buying it from the Chansey Supply shop at Mesagoza for ₽20,000.
How to Change a Pokemon's Nature
EV train Rayquaza according to the build's EV spread using Vitamins or the traditional way with Power Items and battling Pokemon with the right EV yield.
If you have the money for it, you can just buy 26 Protein (for Atk), 26 HP Up (for HP) , and 1 Iron (for Def). All of these items can be bought at a Chansey Supply shop and it will cost you ₽510,000 in total.
Alternatively, you can use Power Items that you can buy at a Delibird Presents shop for ₽10,000 each. Have your Pokemon hold the respective Power Item while defeating the Pokemon listed below.
