Best Pokemon for Tera Raids

Best Counters for 5-Star Alolan Exeggutor Raid: Sylveon, Klefki, Flutter Mane, Florges, or Clefable!

The best counters for the Rayquaza Tera Raid are Sylveon, Primarina, or Clefable! Magearna pairs extremely well with Intimidate users to buff itself with Soul-Heart and then debuff Rayquaza's damage.

Alternatively, Sylveon, Primarina, Florges, or Clefable is an easier to get option that can combo Calm Mind with Draining Kiss.
