 Hello friends, in today's video we're going to go over the best builds for beating the brand new 7 star Terraried event for Chessnaught that will be coming to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet later this week. So kicking off on the 12th of May and running through to the 14th of May for the first phase, Chessnaught will be coming to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The 7 star Terraried event will feature Chessnaught with the rock terra typing and of course it will have all of the standard attributes of a normal 7 star Terraried level 100, it will have the mightiest mark and you'll only be able to catch one of the ease per save file. So we're going to start the video off as always by taking a detailed look at what Chessnaught has available and what we could expect to see going into this raid later this week. So as we've mentioned, Chessnaught is going to have that rock terra typing, it will have weaknesses to grass, to water, to ground, to steel and to fighting. But some of those typings you're not really going to want to bring into this raid because Chessnaught has got good coverage and it obviously is its base typing is grass which is going to be super effective against ground types, super effective against water types, making those Pokemon choices pretty difficult to bring into this raid. It's going to be level 100 and it will have that 30 times multiplied to his HP. So we'll be sitting at around 9,510 HP points. That's the damage you're going to have to do to remove this from the field. And it will likely have its hidden ability, Bulletproof. Now, for those of you that don't know, Bulletproof gives immunity to all ball and bomb type attack moves. Now these are categorized into this list here. So things like acid spray that we generally use in terror raid events to reduce a special defense, you're not going to be able to use that. Bulletproof gives immunity to that aurora sphere as well, which would have been a great option going into this raid because Chessnaught has higher defense stat than its special defense stat. But unfortunately, it is immune to the aurora sphere. So you're not going to be able to use that. Other notable ones are going to be focus blast gyro ball as well, which would have been super effective, magnet bomb, seed bomb as well, which would be super effective against this Chessnaught because of its rock terror typing. And then the other one to mention is probably shadow ball. So just bear in mind that these moves will carry an immunity with Chessnaught having that Bulletproof ability. Chessnaught also not the fastest of Pokemon either. It's only got a base speed of 64. So the majority of things that we're going to be using against it are going to be naturally outspeeding it anyway. So that's quite a good thing to just keep it in mind going into this raid. Now, the move options are obviously going to have rock typing because of their terror typing that it does have. Stone edge and rock slide are probably the biggest kind of options that it's got. Does have access to rock tomb and, interestingly, roll out as well as another option. Now, there was a really good comment that said it would be funny to see the combination of defense curl on turn zero. And then just go for those rollouts after the defense curl, after it's got that buff to the move and then kind of just roll through your team. That would be kind of funny to see. I don't think that's going to happen, but it is something to consider, of course, like everything going into this raid. Wood hammer and sea bomb seem to be its most powerful physical type attacks. And just to bear in mind that chest note will be a physical attacker. It doesn't really have a very good special attacking stat. It doesn't have good special attacking moves. So it would make sense for it to be predominantly a physical type attacker. So that's what we're going to prepare for going into this raid. Close combat and hammer arm are its big fighting type attacking moves that it does get access to. And it also gets drain punch as well. So it has a move where it can utilize that recovery and just remember as well, steel types are going to be effective going into this raid. So it makes sense for it to have fighting type coverage to combat those steel type. It also gets coverage with earthquake. So it's got ground coverage there, iron head for steel type coverage. Although I don't really see it having iron head, but it's just something to bear in mind. If you were thinking about bringing maybe SAP, SIPA, a zoomer or something like that to this raid, that could be a little bit problematic. It does get Shadowclaw and crunch as coverage moves. Now, I could see one of these two on the chest note. That depends on the build, of course, but it would be good against some things that we're planning on bringing into this raid in general. It does also get Zen headbutt as well. So that's something to bear in mind. So it really does get a wide variety of different coverage moves. It gets other things that we haven't even put on the list like thunder punch as well. So it really does have a good move pool going into this raid event and a lot of options that we have to consider. Now, the things they probably see it having would be Stone Edge, Wood Hammer, Close Combat and Earthquake. They would be the main four I would see. I could probably see additional moves, maybe Shadowclaw or Crunch potentially, but I think the Earthquake, a big fighting type attack, Grass type attack and then Rock type attack make a lot of sense going into this one. Now, it's set up options that it does have. It does have some good set up options, things that we'll have to be aware of. Bulk up and Curse, obviously, they're in the same ballpark boosting attack and defense. By one stage every turn you use it. You've got sword stance as well, boosting two stages to that attack stat. So it could get out of control quite quickly and become pretty threatening. It's got eye and defense as well. It's already got a sky high defensive stat, but that's something to consider. It is an option on there. And if it wants to combat against big physical steel or fighting type attacks because of its terror typing, then eye and defense kind of makes sense here as well. It does get sunny day. Now, this plays in effect with synthesis as well, so you can get that recovery there. And it is one of the starter Pokemon that does get access to a recovery move. Whether or not we'll see it, I don't know. But the one that I have kind of starred that I do have a little bit of a concern about going into this raid, which I do suspect might be what we see is Bellydrum. Now, Bellydrum isn't something that we've seen in past seven star terror events. It was accessible on something like Charizard, but we didn't see it there because it made more sense for the Charizard to be a special attacker, but with Chestnut being more of a physical attacker, I could really see the combination of Bellydrum on that turn zero, where it maxes out its attack stat and then uses a combination of that and something like Drain Punch to recover its health back before the battle even begins. Now, that could be quite scary and throw a huge curveball at everyone's preparations going into this raid event because it does change how people will have to go into the raid. I have prepared a build specifically for this set if it comes up, so don't worry about that. We'll get into that as we get into the Pokemon builds later on, but that is something I think we have to really consider. Bellydrum, Drain Punch combination, you could even see Synthesis as a support option on there as well, but I do feel like that could be an option going into this one with the Chestnut and that plus six attack at the start of the battle if you don't have anything else to kind of help combat that, especially if the shield goes up pretty early. You're gonna be in a lot of trouble going into this raid and it is gonna be a very difficult one. Now, I think a lot of people think this is gonna be probably quite a straightforward raid, but I don't think this is gonna be as easy as everyone thinks. I think the Intellion raid was very easy, but I don't think the Chestnut one's gonna be as straightforward, but we'll wait and see, of course. So that's the overview of Chestnut. Let's jump into game and we can take a look at the Pokemon builds that we've got going into this one. Like I've mentioned, Chestnut is very strong on its physical defensive side of things, so a special attacker is gonna be preferable going into this raid. Now, the main one that I'm picking going into this raid initially is gonna be Goldango. I feel like Goldango is gonna be a really good Pokemon hitting on that special attacking side. It is gonna be able to do a lot of good damage, super effective damage to this Chestnut. The only things you're gonna have to worry about predominantly going into this raid are gonna be the Earthquake, which could be there, which I do suspect being there, which will hit us for super effective damage, and then either the Shadowclaw or the Crunch, which could be coverage moves that we see. Don't really need to worry about the Grass type attacks, the Rock type attacks, all the Fighting type attacks coming into this one. You'd only have to worry about the Fighting type attacks after you terastalize, but by that point, hopefully you're set up and you're in a good point just to kind of close out the game from there. So the Goldango build that we've got going into this one is gonna have the Steel Terra typing. It is gonna have the Metal Coat as it's held item just to give that additional boost to its attacking moves. And the move set is gonna be Recover, Nasty Plot, Metal Sound, and Make It Rain. We've got Recovery there with Recover. We've got Nasty Plot helps us set up our special attack game. Gives us better damage options. Metal Sound plays off that nicely because we're gonna be able to reduce the special defense on the chest note by two stages every time you use it, and then kind of combining that, doubling it up with the Make It Rain. Now if you don't want to use Make It Rain because it does reduce your special attack every time you use it, you can opt to use something like Flash Cannon, which is a bit more consistent because you're not getting the drops and you're doing that good damage every turn. Now the EV spread is 252 special attack and then 252 defense with the four in HP. We've got that good as Gold ability with a modest nature and that is Goldango. So I think a really good option and really probably one of the best ones before we go into this. Of course, when we see the move set, when the event goes live, we can assess whether or not this is gonna be the best option, but a very solid option as we prepare for it going into it. And I'm sure a lot of you already have a Goldango built in your games. Next one up is gonna be Corridon. Corridon gonna have that Fighting type and Dragon typing. So it is gonna have super effective same type attack going into this Rock Terror type chest note. It is gonna resist the Rock type attacks. It is gonna resist any of the Grass type attacks. The only thing that you would really need to worry about is if it does have Dragon coverage, it does get access to Dragon claw, but I don't really see it getting that. And the other option is Zen headbutt, but they're kind of really far out options that I probably don't expect it to have, although it does have access to those moves. Now we go with the Fighting terror typing on this one. We've given it the black belt item. It gives it a 20% boost to any fighting type attack. So it's a good item choice to have on it if you don't want the recovery, but I don't feel like we need it with this set because we are running drain punch, which gives you that great line of recovery. We're pairing that up with bulk up, screech and sword stance. So bulk up and sword stance seem to conflict there, but bulk up gives you a different option where you can boost your defense stat as well as your attacking stat. Obviously sword stance cuts down the turns that you need to boost your attacking stat and then screech combines with that nicely to reduce the defensive stat on the chest note. We've got an EV spread of 252 attack and then 252 defense that just allows you to take some more of these big physical type attack and moves a lot easier and allow that set up with the screech and the sword stance. And then we've got the drain punch to kind of play on there where we're going to be able to have a line of recovery where we don't need to worry about having the shell belt where we can have a boosting item on there like the black belt to give us a bit more power every turn. But I feel like Corridon going to be a very solid option going into this raid, especially because of its base stats as well. It's going to be able to come in and handle chest note pretty well. Next Pokemon we're featuring is Covenite. I love Covenite coming into this raid, flying and steel typing with the steel terra typing and we've given it the expert belt here. Again, you're going to take neutral damage from the rock type moves, but if it's got something like Stone Edge, you don't really need to worry about that too much because it is lower accuracy. Covenite already has sky high defense stats, so we'll be able to take those pretty well, but you're going to be able to resist the grass type attacks. The fighting type attacks will be neutral as well. And if it does carry a ground type coverage move, then you're going to be immune to it until you do terastalize late in the game. But like I say, by then, hopefully along the lines of the gold ingot, you're set up in a good position to not worry about that so much and just lay damage out onto the field. Like I say, we've got the expert belt as the item. The move set that we've got here is going to be Roost, Screech, Bulkup and Ironhead. So Roost, just bear in mind, it is an egg move. You can find something in your boxes with Roost, then just delete a move off the Covenite and then give it the Mirror Herb item, set up a picnic with the other Roost Pokemon in your party and it will transfer over to Covenites. So you've got that line of recovery on the move set. Screech we know about, Bulkup we know about and then Ironhead going to be super effective into this chest snort. And a really good option I feel with that Mirror Armor ability as well, but not so important going into this red with an EV spread of 252 attack and then 252 defense. Just to maximize your attacking output as well, maximize your defensive abilities with the Covenite on the field. Next up, we couldn't do one of these without featuring a good old friendly Enylep. And yes, I think Enylep probably will be very good going into this red once again, just naturally bulky, able to take a bunch of hits, able to set up and do some big damage in return. We give it the Black Belt item, of course you can change that up, you could go Shell Belt. If you wanted, you could go with Expert Belt but the Black Belt like I've already mentioned gives you 20% boost to fighting type attacks and that's primarily what we're going for here. We've got the Fighting Terror typing on this one. I feel like it's more optimal. Move set we're going for is Drain Punch, Bulk Up, Screech and then Rage Fist. The Define ability there and an EV spread, it is a little different from other Enyleps but we maximizing that attack stat with an Adamant Nature and then maximizing our defense stat as well. So that should be 252 in defense as well. And then the rest just put in HP. But the Enylep pretty straightforward like other Enyleps. What you're going to do is try and utilize that Screech. It will depend when the shield goes up on the Chestnaught if you can use that but if you can utilize it, try and get a few Screeches off and you can utilize your Bulk Ups and then just plow through with those Drain Punches until you can Terastalize and then you're going to be able to probably make quick work of this Chestnaught. Like I say, I couldn't really not feature the Enylep because it feels like such a good option going into this raid. Now the next option is going to be Lucario. Now I feel like Lucario could be a good option here. I initially thought, ah, Aurora Sphere, this special attacking Lucario could be good going into this raid but you've got to remember about that bullet proof ability of Aurora Sphere is going to be immune from the Chestnaught. So it's not going to be any good. So you have to go down a physical route with the Lucario which is a little bit unfortunate. We have got the Fighting Terra typing on this, a Black Belt again for that 20% increase to fighting type attacks. But with the Steel typing and the Fighting typing, you get that four times resist to Rock type attacks. You're not going to worry too much about the Grass type attacks and you're only going to have to really be concerned about those ground type attacks that the Chestnaught could have as coverage. Now with the Move set, we've got Eye and Defense, Screech, Sword Stance, and Drain Punch here and an EV spread of 252 Attack, 252 Defense with the Rest Put and HP. And the ability here we have got justified but we don't really need to worry about that too much. It's not really anything that makes any difference going into this Terrarid. So the idea of this set is to make sure that you get your Eye and Defense is up if it has got that coverage move like Earthquake. Even if not, it's probably worth just getting an Eye and Defense up at the start of the battle. Utilize Screech like you would do with the Annihilab with the Choreodon to allow that defensive stat of the Chestnaught and then Sword Stance and then just plow through with the Drain Punch. Until you can Terrasilize and you should be able to do this pretty easily. Now it's not got as high base stats, it's something like Annihilab or the Choreodon of course but the Lucario still can hold it on and I really like that fighting and steel typing as well just because you get so many resists to the things that Chestnaught can throw out and I feel like a Lucario is a different option and could potentially be quite good going into this Terrarid event. Now the final one that we are gonna feature today and I did mention it a little bit earlier when we were looking at the details of the Chestnaught and I suspect the Bellydrum and that Drain Punch combination that could be quite deadly going into this raid and this is why I've got Clodside. It might sound a little bit weird but it is the only Pokemon that would be able to go into this raid with the unaware ability and do some good work going into it. Obviously we're giving it the Expert Bell item because we do have a line of recovery with Recover. We've got the Ground Terra typing on there. You've just got to be careful with the Ground Terra typing because when you do Terrasilize you'll be more susceptible to those big grass type attacks that Chestnaught definitely does carry with the Poison typing your neutral damage but hopefully by then you've got some curses under your belt so you're not taking as much damage from those attacks as possible. Like I say, the move set is gonna be Recover, line of recovery. Hayes is there because if they nullify your stats and abilities early on in the game and they have set up either with a Bellydrum or with a Sword Stance, then you've got the option where you can just Hayes before you start setting up with your own curses and then you can start utilizing Earthquake once you have set up. Eevee Spread, just to make sure that we've got the longevity, it's still on the field to utilize the Hayes, utilize the Curse and the Recovers and things like that. We're maximizing our HP, maximizing our defense and then we've got the Curse to rely on to boost our attack stat and then our main attacking option is gonna be the Earthquake which is gonna be the big power hitting move when we are all set up. But I do feel if we do see something like that Bellydrum combination on Turn Zero which I do suspect we might see and then the combination of Drain Punch. Cloudsite is gonna be something to fall back on and I feel we'll do a good job going into this raid. If we don't see the Bellydrum, of course, then I think the other option that we've already featured here will be just as good as anything else. It's just I do have concerns that we're gonna see a curve ball this week and it could be the Bellydrum because it's an option that would make sense on it. It's an option that would make this raid incredibly difficult when a lot of people have been saying recently, Annihilate's so easy just to pick and bring into this raid. Well, I think if we sold the Bellydrum, I don't think Annihilate would be a Pokemon that we'd be easily able to bring into this raid because you're gonna see the Bellydrum, if it's got coverage moves with something like even Shadowclaw, it could just cut that Annihilate out pretty quickly and you've gotta think the game freak are looking at these seven star raids and thinking there's gotta be a time when we stop this Annihilate shenanigans going on. So maybe this is the week, maybe Bellydrum is the option, but like I say, if it is, Cloudsite is gonna be a good option for combating against that Bellydrum setup. The unaware is brilliant. It just ignores the Bellydrum and you can just get on with kind of wiping the stats to support fellow team members if you're doing this online and then set yourself up and then start cutting through it that way. But other than that, I think these are the best builds to prepare going into this raid. And of course, when the raid goes live later this week, we will cover it as soon as the raid goes out and we've done a bit of testing with the best Pokemon to solo this with. But I would love to hear your thoughts on what you think will be the best build going into this new Terrorite event later this week. Please leave your comments down below.
