Shell Bell |
The best ability for Chien-Pao in Tera Raid Battles is Sword of Ruin. This ability lowers the Defense of the Raid boss b ut will also lower your party members' , so be careful when using this build in Co-Op.
We also recommend getting a Chien-Pao with a Dark Tera Type to further boost the damage of Payback and Crunch. As a Physical Attacker, an Adamant nature would be best.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards bulky offense to help with survivability while still dealing as much damage as possible. Max out your HP and Atk EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Def. The Shell Bell held item allows Chien-Pao to recover some HP after every turn it attacks.
Chien-Pao Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Optional | Use Snowscape to raise Chien-Pao's Defense. |
Turns 1~3 | Use Swords Dance to raise Chien-Pao's Attack to +6. |
Turns 4~6 | Use Crunch or Pay Back (when the raid boss is faster) to deal damage and build Tera Charge. |
Turns 7+ | Terastallize once you build up enough Tera Orb Charge, and continue using Crunch or Pay Back. |
You can start the Tera Raid battle by using Snowscape to set up snow and raise your Defense to tank more hits. Set up with Swords Dance a few times to boost Chien-Pao's Attack.
Use Crunch to deal super effective damage. Payback is preferred when Chien-Pao is slower than the raid boss. Once you have enough Tera Orb charge, terastallize into a Dark-type and use boosted attacks to finish the raid.

Start your hunt for Chien-Pao by finding all of its 8 Stakes scattered in the northwestern area of the Paldea region. Once you've found all of the stakes, head to the forest west of where the Bombirdier Titas is found to find the legendary Pokemon's shrine.
Before attempting to catch it, make sure that you turn off your Autosave first. This is so you can restart the battle all over again if it ends up with a Dark Tera Type.
Make sure to bring a Pokemon that has False Swipe and can inflict a status effect to make it easier to catch.
If the Chien-Pao 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 an 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.

EV train Chien-Pao according to the build's EV spread using Vitamins or the traditional way with Power Items and battling Pokemon with the right EV yield.
