Best Counters for Hard-to-Find Version Exclusives Tera Raid

Top Counters

Tier	Pokemon
Legend: Red = Physical Attacker Blue = Special Attacker Green = Support Pokemon

Due to the nature of the Raids having Random Tera Types, it is difficult to recommend a single Pokemon for each Raid. Try to have Pokemon that are resist the Attacking moves of the Raid Boss but can still hit for Super-Effective damage on their Tera Type!

Make sure to use Pokemon who deal more damage on the weaker defense stat of each Raid Boss. Stonjourner, Eiscue, and Armarouge have a lower Special Defense stat, while Ceruledge has a lower Defense Stat.
