Protosynthesis and Heat Crash's Fire-typing both benefits from Sunny Day Use Leer for more damage, and Morning Sun for more Survivability Gouging Fire's base weight pairs well with Heat Crash especially against lighter Pokemon |
The best ability for Gouging Fire in Tera Raid Battles is Protosynthesis. This ability boosts Gouging Fire's attack stat during Sunny Weather. Using Sunny Day to change the weather also benefits Heat Crash as it also boosts all Fire-type moves.
Dragon Dance and Leer is used to boost the damage output, while Morning Sun and Shell Bell is for more survivability.
As a Fire-type attacker, getting an Gouging Fire with a Fire Tera Type is recommended to get the damage boost to Fire-type moves. The Adamant nature is best for Gouging Fire as it has few uses for the Sp. Atk stat.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
This build aims to make Gouging Fire deal the most damage with Heat Crash and have enough survivability to not lose any buffs from fainting.
Max out your Attack and HP EVs while adding the remaining EVs into Def. Give it Shell Bell to heal itself in the raid.
Gouging Fire Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Strategies | |
---|---|
Turns 1~6 | Use Dragon Dance to boost Gouging Fire's Attack and Speed. Attack with Heat Crash to heal with Shell Bell if needed. |
Turns 7 | Use Sunny Day to activate Protosynthesis and boost Heat Crash's damage. |
Turn 8+ | Start attacking with Heat Crash and Terastallize when possible. |
This build is best used against Pokemon, which are significantly lighter than Gouging Fire in terms of weight, as Heat Crash gets more base power from the difference between Gouging Fire and the target. Against the right target, Heat Crash can get a massive 120 Base Power.

How to Make Best Gouging Fire Tera Raid Build |
---|
|
Gouging Fire is found near a waterfall that is near Research Area 3 in Area Zero in The Indigo Disk DLC, and is exclusively in the Scarlet Version of the game. You can catch it once you register 200 Pokemon in the Blueberry Pokedex and help Perrin.
If the Gouging Fire 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
If its ability is different from our recommendation, you can use an Ability Capsule to change it.
This item can be bought at Chansey Supply shops for ₽100,000.
