Best Counters for Valentines Luvdisc

Best Counter: Empoleon

With its Limited movepool, Luvdisc doesn't really have much to deal with an Empoleon. With the ability Competitive, which sharply raises Speciasl Attack when debuffed, Empoleon is the best choice to use when taking on this raid! Empoleon was also the previous Tera Raid that ran just before this raid!

Other Amazing Counters: Poison and Steel-Type Pokemon!

During the Tera Raid Event, Luvdisc will always have a Fairy Tera Type, which means that it will be weak against Poison and Steel-type moves. With its low stats but high speed, a bulky attacker is a great choice to use against it!
