Use Screech to lower the Raid Boss' Defense. Boost Sceptile's Attack with Swords Dance. Use Solar Blade with Sunny Day up to deal damage to the Raid Boss without charging on the first turn. |
Sceptile's attack can be further boosted by using Swords Dance, partnered with Screech to lower the Raid Boss' Defense which maximizes the damage of Sceptile's Solar Blade.
Activate Sunny Day to remove the one-turn charge of Solar Blade.
This build recommends Sceptile to have a Grass Tera Type to maximize the damage dealt by Solar Blade from a double STAB.
As a Physical Attacker, an Adamant nature is the recommended nature. If Sceptile happens to have a different nature, you can use an Adamant Mint to change its nature.
Let Sceptile hold a Shell Bell to restore health when it deals damage, increasing its survivability against raid bosses.

Turns 1~3 | Use Swords Dance to increase Sceptile's Attack. |
Turns 4~6 | Use Screech to lower the raid boss' Defense. |
Turn 7 | Activate Sunny Day to remove Solar Blade's one-turn charge. |
Turns 8~10 | Use Solar Blade to build Tera Orb charge, terastallizing when possible. |
Turns 11+ | Terastallize and keep using Solar Blade until you beat the raid boss. Feel free to set up any buffs or debuffs you may have lost. |
Start the raid battle with Swords Dance and use it three times to boost Sceptile's Attack stat to max it out, followed by Screech three times to lower the Defense of the raid boss by 6 stages.

This Sceptile Grass Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Water, Ground, and Rock Type Tera Raid Bosses. If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Fire, Flying or Bug Type outside of Terastallization, perhaps consider a different build, as Sceptile will be weak to these types as a Grass-type attacker.
