 The Seven Star Samurai Terror Raid Event is now live in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. We're going to go over all of the details in today's video as well as the best Pokemon to solo this with in your games. So the first thing that we're going to take a look at is an overview of the raid event itself. If we hop over to Serabii, all of the details have been populated. As always, this Seven Star Raid Event will be level 100. Samurai will have access to its hidden ability and it will have the moves Aqua Cutter, Mega Horn, Night Slash, Drill Run with additional moves, Focus Energy. Was something that we did consider being an option on this Samurai with all these high critical hit ratio moves, sword stance and bulldoze. We were pretty spot on with the move choices that we thought Samurai would have other than the Drill Run. Everything else was included in our preview article. It will as always have the mightiest mark as well. No helled item here, but a bill have that bug terror type tie to it. And it is only catchable once per save file. So keep that in mind. And it is a Seven Star Raid with the 35 HP times multiplier, which we already covered in our preview article as well. Item drops are pretty good as usual for the Seven Star Raid events. Going to get a bunch of large and XL candies, bug terror shots as well, ability patches as well as other high cost items and the TM88. So to get this event in your games, you are going to have to come into your poker portal. I know we've went through this a few times in previous videos, but for anyone new here we go, press the L trigger. This will connect you to the internet once you are connected. You're going to want to head down to your mystery gifts. Then a mystery gift you want to just come down to check poker portal news. It'll connect. It'll give you this message. It'll say that your dens are updated and the time, etc. And then you will have access to this event in your games. And I will mention now, if you don't go online after this event finishes after this weekend, you will keep this terror event in your games until the next time you go online. So once you've updated your game, you want to locate the event terror raid and it will look like this with the bug icon over it. And it'll look like a seven star terror event. So once you're at the den, we can now go over the raid build itself. The Pokemon that we're taking into solo this raid den event with is going to be the Chloe star. I feel like it is the best option going in against Samorot in particularly because it has that focus energy and those high critical hit rate moves. One reason why we're choosing cloister. We covered it in our preview article and it is all about the shell armor ability, which prevents critical hits from landing. So it doesn't matter if the Samorot does go for the focus energy. You're not going to be affected by the critical hits. The move said that we've got for this cloister is iron defense to boost our defenses, shell smash to boost our attack, rock blast is going to be our main attacking option and aqua ring as well HP and attack or the EV investment numbers with two five two in each and then the rest dumped in the fence with an adamant nature and we have the item loaded dice, which is an item that increases the chances of multi hit target attacks hitting more times. So something like rock blast that hits between two and five times that'll give you an increased chance of it hitting five times, which is really what you need for this battle. And it's also advisable before you go into the raid if you have access to PP ups just to make sure that you PP max up your rock blast because you're going to need them for this battle. It isn't the most accurate of moves it can miss. So you don't want that really punishing you in the raid itself. So just make sure that you max out the rock blast. The build for cloister will be down in the description below but all of the details that we've covered in today's video are here loaded dice is the ability. Terra type is the rock type. You don't necessarily need to do that but I feel like when you get to the latter stage of the battle you want to be terasolizing into that rock type so you can be doing more damage with the rock blast and then the move set is as we've mentioned with the EV spread and that adamant nature. So once you're ready and you've got your cloister, you can go into the raid event and you can take the Samurai on and I'll talk you through exactly how we approach this one because it is a bit different from some of the previous seven star terror raid events that we've had and it's a side different from the deciduous which was super easy and I feel like this one is definitely probably one of the most challenging that we've had. If not the most challenging that we've had so far turn one you are going to see the Samurai before anything happens get a focus energy off and that is going to increase the chances of it landing critical hits but because we have that shell armor ability on our cloister were not affected by it. Now the first turn what you want to do is set up your aqua ring now that is going to give you a line of recovery for the rest of this match. You see the mega horn come out from the Samurai will hit us and then that's normally followed up by a bulldoze as well but we get our aqua ring off. That's going to help us just tick up with our HP throughout this match which is really really useful. Next up we are going to go for the rock blast. Don't worry about setting up now because Samurai is going to put its screens up pretty quickly in this match and it's going to nullify all of your stat boost. So just use this time to kind of chip away as best as possible at its HP while you've got the opportunity to. So we'll see how many of these rock blasts we do land. You can see they're not doing too much damage because it is quite a low power move but once we are set up later in this game and we are terastalized as well will be in a much stronger position to take on the Samurai. As you can see here I think going into this one will probably see the shield go up and then all of the stats on our side of the field nullified and the big thing to remember at this point is our ability is going to be nullified this turn. So we're going to be prone to taking a critical hit this turn which is not ideal. We will now go for an eye in defense because we're pretty safe to fingers crossed. We don't get critical hit here because it's likely we will we don't. We don't. That is a big letter for us but just for most case scenarios here because of our ability being nullified this turn we are going to get critical hit and that can put you a little bit behind you're not going to get knocked out but we want to get two iron defenses off here and this will allow us enough room to then go for the three shell smashes that we need to without actually lowering our defense below neutral. Right so number one shell smash and the idea is we want to max our attack out to plus six and then we can start attacking with the Rock Blast as well. The Lord of Dice is just going to help us get the maximum amount of hits per turn with the Rock Blast and that's the reason why we chose it. You could go for something like expert belt if you want or a boosting item on the Rock Blast but I just feel like the Lord of Dice is probably the more consistent option of them all and once you've got this last shell smash up I'll show you the stats of the Cloister to make sure that you're aware of these and it's probably worth getting an additional iron defense up so you're ready when you do terastalize so you're not really taking too much super effective damage from the water type attacks that can come out from the Samurai because at the minute Tintness with the Mega Horns because it's its best strongest option against us you can see it's not doing too much damage at all and we can go for this last shell smash here and of course just use the Heal Chair if you need to at any point but the Aqua Ring because your defenses are so good at this stage and you're not prone to those critical hits you're going to be able to kind of soak up the damage and still kind of tick up your HP every turn as you go through this and you can see if you've got good opponents the shield is getting chipped away and our stats now after that last shell smash should be maxed out now so we'll have a quick look when we get to that screen and you can see all maxed out and we still got plus one defense as well so we're in a really good strong position to start firing off these Rock Blasts and hopefully I guess it can miss and that is very unfortunate but we're in a good place with the timer at the moment the timer is in a healthy spot we're not too worried so we just need to get rid of the shield and you'll see in a minute that the we're not going to be doing too much damage with these Rock Blasts with the shield up it is going to take probably a couple of rounds here to remove it from the field but it looks like we're going to be able to do it right here which is great and this one should smash the shield and that is excellent for us so I'm going to get this Mega Horn now coming out which is fine and it does nullify the abilities on the outside of the field once again so that's not great for us because we're going to have to iron defense again we're going to have to go for the shell smashes again and there's a third shell smash but you can have a look at the stats of Cloister right now we are stacked up high and we can actually go for the terastalize before we finish this off and we can finish it in style with the Cloister as I say you're not going to need the terastalization we definitely don't need to do it here but we'll be able to see how much a rock blast does to the Samurai once we're plus six with the terastalize boost on top of it which is always super nice to kind of just see for reference in this battle but Cloister I say the most consistent most optimal choice going into this because otherwise it's going to be so difficult and I think the loaded dice is a really crucial option to have on the Cloister as well just to make sure that when you hit those rock blasts you're getting the maximum amount of hits per turn with it because otherwise you might be ending up getting really unlucky and only hitting two times and you really need to get rid of that shield before you're able to get rid of the Samurot so there it goes down that's great and I think what we're going to do is catch ours in a lure ball and there we go Samurot was caught so we now have it in our game and you can see the rewards here that we've got the ability patch your lots of XL and large candies bug terashards, TM88, ability patch and loads of other high cost items and level up candies so that is basically the best Pokemon to take in if you are soloing this raid in your games it's not going to be a quick one though I'm not going to lie to you it is definitely not going to be a quick raid to do it will take a bit of time and like I say I think one of the hardest seven star raids that we've had so far in our games and we can take a quick look at the Samurot and it does have the mightiest mark as well so we can attach that and then you can breed this down to get a shiny if you want in your games because currently it is the only way to get a shiny Oshawa, a shiny Samurot in your games by breeding it at the moment but this is the cloister build just to kind of recap once again the rock terra type on it loaded dice with the adamant nature, 252 HP and 252 in attack with 4 in defense shell armor ability is the big thing to remember on this with iron defense shell smash aquaring and rock blast is the move set it is the cloister from our preview article that we already covered earlier in this week the only difference is we took the shell bell off and put the loaded dice on which helps it out with the rock blast and that multi target attack and of course once you have complete the raid in your game if you want to get it again to farm these for the high cost items then all you need to do is hit your home menu then come down to your system settings and then in to system down to date in time just make sure your clock via the internet is off just like it is on the screen now then come down to your date in time and just literally click through the date like that and then hit your home menu come back into your game and all your dens will change around in your game and you will respawn the seven star raid then you'll be able to just go up to it battle it again beat it again and then repeat this process and you'll be able to do the Samurot over and over until you no longer want to do it anymore so that is everything for today's
