Summary

Pokeball IconAmazing Defense stat coupled with its access to Eviolite and Iron Defense.

Pokeball IconTailored to support Future Paradox Pokemon with Battery and Electric Terrain.

Pokeball IconAmazing debuffer thanks to Lunge and Mud-Slap.

The best ability for Charjabug in Tera Raid Battles is Battery. This allows Charjabug to boost the Special Attack damage of every ally in the Tera Raid.

With access to Eviolite and Iron Defense, Charjabug can reliably take hits from Physical Tera Raid bosses and Lunge can help it out even more.

Best Tera Type

We also recommend getting a Charjabug with an Electric Tera Type because it will only have one weakness thanks to it. As a Support, a Relaxed nature would be best.

EV Spread Explanation

Charjabug's EV spread should lean toward defense, max out your HP and Def EVs, and putting the remainder into Attack.Give it Eviolite to further bolster its Defenses.

Tera Raid Strategy

Charjabug Tera Raid Situational Strategies
Debuffer Help the other attackers by debilitating The Raid Boss with Lunge and Mud-Slap
Terrain Setter Set up Electric Terrain to prevent Sleep and boost the power of allied Future Paradox Pokemon!
Buffer Increase damage dealt by allies' Special Moves with Battery!

This Build focuses on Charjabug's singature ability, Battery. This allows it to boost the power of allies' Special attacks by 30%.

Combined with Electric Terrain, Charjabug is useful for Pokemon like Miraidon, Iron Bundle, Iron Moth, and other Future Paradox Pokemon!

Alternative Moves

Charjabug is a Pokemon whose moveset is geared towards supporting ally Pokemon. Here's a list of moves you can swap in if the situation calls for it.

Move Case
Light Screen and Eerie Impulse Can be added to a kit if you're facing a Special Attacker. Change your EV investment into Sp. Def instead of Def.
Rain Dance Amazing support for other Electric-types so they can run Thunder instead. Also weakens the damage recieved from Fire-type moves.
Discharge High chance to Paralyze and gain Tera Orb charges to evade some common weaknesses.
Struggle Bug Lower the opponent's Sp. Atk. Can be used if the Raid Boss likes to get its shield up early.
Dig Can be used in a pinch to prevent fainting by stalling out turns.

Effective Support Against Any Tera Raid

Pokemon Ground Type Icon

If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Ground, Flying, or Fire Type outside of Terastallization, perhaps consider a different build, as Charjabug will be weak to these Types if it doesn't make use of Terastallizing.
