Lower the enemy's Defense with Screech. Use Curse to boost Swampert's Attack and Defense. Use Mud-Slap to charge the Tera Orb while lowering the Accuracy of the enemy. Deal damage with Liquidation with a chance to lower the enemy's Defense. |
Use Screech to lower the enemy's Defense and follow it up with Curse to boost Swampert's Attack and Defense.
Use Mud-Slap for the Tera Orb charge while also lowering your opponent's Accuracy. Terrastalize and switch to using Liquidation to deal the most damage with a chance to lower the raid boss' Defense, which is helpful when the enemy resets any debuffs it has.
This build recommends Swampert to have a Water Tera Type to maximize the damage dealt by Liquidation from a double STAB.
As a Physical Attacker, an Adamant nature is the recommended nature. If Swampert happens to have a different nature, you can use an Adamant Mint to change its nature.
Let Swampert hold a Shell Bell to restore health when it deals damage, increasing its survivability against raid bosses.

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