 The next 7 Star Terrorite event featuring Pikachu will be going live in a little under 2 days time. In today's video we're going to cover all of the best builds you can take in to beat this Terrorite and farm this event in your copy of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. But before we get into the video please subscribe to the channel remember you can always unsubscribe later if you'd like to. So the next 7 Star Terrorite featuring Pikachu will be going live on the 24th of February and running over the weekend which will be coming to an end at midnight on the 27th of February as we say farewell to Pokemon Day for another year. Now as we know with the 7 Star Terrorite events they are pretty difficult they will appear in your game you're going to be able to catch it once in your game and cover all of the details as and when the event does launch. But if we take a closer look at Pikachu we can have a look at what we potentially can expect to see from this Pokemon when it does appear in these events. We know we'll have the Water Terrorite giving it really only a weakness to grass type Pokemon. The big question marks for me are is it going to have that lightning rodability that it does have access to which is going to make it a lot more difficult than if it does have that static ability which is the regular ability meaning if it does have static you're going to have a way easier time taking in a bunch more electric Pokemon that will be able to hit it for super effective damage. Obviously with the lightning rodability it will be immune to any electric type attacks and this is what makes me think it will have the lightning rodability there. Now another big question mark over this event is whether or not this Pikachu is going to have a held are you none of the other 7 Star Terrorite events have had held items going into their respected events but Pikachu being in middle stage evolution doesn't have the highest stats so it's going to need a buff somewhere along the line and it does make sense that it holds its signature item the light ball. Now whenever Pikachu is holding the light ball it's special attack and attack stats are doubled so it gives it a huge buff to its offensive output meaning it is a lot more threatening on the field. Now whether or not we'll see the light ball is a question again and if it is you can make adjustments that we'll cover in this video. Of course being a 7 Star Terrorite it will be level 100 it does have a base speed of 90 so it's pretty fast. Now looking at other Terrorites in the game which feature Pikachu you can see that awesome moves tied to all of them including Raichu. Nuzzle is going to be one of those that is a disruptive move it does paralyze you as well as doing a little bit of damage. This charge is another common attack that we do see on Pikachu and Voltackle is something I personally think we will definitely see on this Pikachu. Voltackle is its signature attack it is a very strong physical electric typing attack so it could make a lot of sense on this Pikachu. Surf as well probably will be on this set it kind of goes along with the terror typing perfectly. Iron Tail is a signature attack you know they love it in the anime series so it is on the 3 Star Terrorites that we see the Pikachu in the game already so it would make sense that it does have Iron Tail and it does make it a little bit more difficult to bring some Pokemon into these matchups. Fly is an option I guess if we're going to go along with the surfing Pikachu the flying Pikachu. Fly could be an option and could cause a few issues if we are bringing predominantly grass types that we're relying on quite heavily in this matchup and then Grass Knot and Trailblaze are the other options that give it coverage, grass coverage in particular. If you are thinking about bringing things like Gastrodon and Quagsire that could be a good matchup overall with their ground typing and water absorb abilities but if there is the presence of Grass Knot and Trailblaze these grass type moves are going to hit you for four times super effective damage making that matchup pretty difficult. Now if you look at the setup options Pikachu has it does have access to electric terrain this could be one of those options that we see it use on its first turn before the terror it actually begins. Nasty plot is a way for it to boost its offensive output giving a special attack boost by two stages. Rain Dance complements the terror typing of water and that surf attack that it could potentially have. In fake tiers it's something that will disrupt our side of the field by lowering our special defense by two stages so these are pretty much the best options I think Pikachu will have and which ones it will have going into this terror attack up in the air. I would probably say Rain Dance, Electric Terrain make a lot of sense they boost both of its electric and then water type attacks respectively when they are out on the field but other than that Pikachu doesn't really have anything else that we would need to be worrying about. I could see definitely Nuzzle, Voltacle, Surf, Iron Tail and then potentially Electric Terrain and then the Rain Dance but that's not to say that we won't see Nasty Plot as well which is something that we have to consider within these builds. Also just to mention as well that the HP stat just to give you an idea obviously going in against seven star turrets their HP is multiplied by 30 so the damage we're going to have to do to this Pikachu to knock it out is 6,330 HP points so that is what you're going to look at to knock it out and a little bit like the Greninja raid I could see the Pikachu thrown a shield up pretty soon or even maybe even at the start of the battle just to give it an extra buff so don't be surprised if we see maybe it's set up the Rain Dance or the Electric Terrain turn one and then it shield go automatically up to give it that extra buff that it's going to need through the rest of the battle. That could be wrong of course but now we'll take a look at the specific builds that we're going to look at for this terror raid. I'm going to start off with my favorite one that I've put together and I think it's going to be really good going into this particular raid against Pikachu and that is Oblivia so Oblivia is a grass and normal type got that grass type that is going to resist the water going to resist the electric type attacks and there's no real threat of anything like an ice type attack coming out from the Pikachu that we'd have to worry about like I've mentioned in the preview of Pikachu the only thing that we would maybe have to worry about a little bit is going to be that fly but whether or not it's there I don't think it will be to be honest covered cloak is the item of choice on this we don't want to get paralyzed from the nuzzle so that will prevent that and that is going to be enough to really keep us in the game as well and because we've got recovery I don't think we require anything like Shell bell and just not being paralyzed not losing turns from fully paralysis that gives us enough reason to use the cover clock in this situation so the move set that we have is sap strength sunny day growth and energy ball sap strength is really nice move as well if we are seeing a mixed Pikachu like I expect us to see it is going to reduce that attacking stat every time we use it on Pikachu by one stage as well as recovering the health on our Pokemon by the amount of attack points that the Pikachu does have so it should give us good HP restoring we've got sunny day as well which is going to interact on boosting our stats that little bit further and also disrupting the rain dance if Pikachu does have access to it if Pikachu doesn't have rain dance then it makes it a lot easier for us because we don't have to worry about our sun getting taken off the field but sunny day gonna play in conjunction really nicely with growth growth gives us a boost in special attack and attack by one stage but if it is sunny on the field you get a two times boost to both your attack and special attack every time you use it cutting down the amount of turns that you're going to need to use it to boost and max out your attacking stats energy ball is the main attacking option we're going for because it does have the secondary effect of long special defense which just increases our damage output overall and probably a better more reliable option than something like giga drain when we don't really need to worry about the recovery so much anywhere we've got seed saw which is such a big ability because if the Pikachu does have electric terrain means any time we take a physical attack then the seed saw activates we get the grassy terrain on the field which not only boosts our energy ball it gives us a line of recovery as well so all in all I feel like our Bolivia is going to be a really good option for you a consistent one for us to take into this particular raid next up we have leafeon another grass type it makes sense to take grass types into these raids because I do worry a lot about the lightning rod ability so relying on electric type attacks might not be the best idea again going for the covert claw because we've got a line of recovery on the leafeon which you'll see in a minute and again it just stops us being paralyzed from the nuzzle if we're holding that item so leafeon level 100 grass terra typing here covert cloud the held item with an adamant nature and EV spread of 252 HP 252 attack the rest was just dumped in special defense and a move set of synthesis tickle sword stands and leaf blade we've got the leaf guard ability there but the ability itself doesn't really make too much difference on this set but the basic premise of this set is going to be getting your sword stands up three times use tickle a couple of times tickle works by lowering the attack and defense start by one stage on the opposing target so you're going to be able to reduce the defensive stat on the Pikachu and then you can use synthesis when required to heal up your health and then leaf blade which has a high critical hit rate as well playing off that boosted attack stat from the sword stances and you're going to be doing a lot of damage with leafeon I really think a nice option for you to rely on if you like leafeon and you want to go into this raid with something a little bit different the next grass type that we're going to feature today is going to be a bomber snow like one of my favorites I think and I did the calcs with the bomber snow and it's not too shabby it's going to do a good job against this Pikachu I'd say the one caveat to using this pokemon is if Pikachu does have access to iron tail because that is going to be doing a lot of damage because of the ice typing on a bomber snow so for that reason alone if we do see iron tail you might want to rely a little bit more on the arbolivia or the leafeon if you want to go down a grass type route but we've got the terra typing grass on the bomber shell bell because it gives us a line of recovery when we do hit the Pikachu for big damage then we have an ev spread of 252 hp 252 attack rest dumped in special defense move set we've got sword stance leia aurora veil and seed bomb so basic premise of this turn one when you've got the hill on the field use that aurora veil it's going to give you a technically a reflect and a light screen support for you and the rest of your team for five turns so going to reduce the output from the Pikachu and then you want to go for those sword stances get three of them max your attack out use a couple of leias if you've got room to and then seed bomb away which is going to do big big damage to the Pikachu and obviously with the grass terra typing as well that you've got on the bomber snow once you're terastalized you're going to be able to do big damage every turn to the water terra typing Pikachu and it's also going to resist the electric type and water type attacks going to tend to throw out at you with that snow warning ability so that is the bomber snow in a nutshell and then the other grass type that we will feature is meow scurrada as well the grass and dark starter pokemon grass terra typing on it we've given the item life or just for increasing the attacking part on this thing when we do click into an attack and a move set of knockoff fake tears nasty plot and frenzy plant so the basic idea around this meow scurrada is with knockoff in particular if the Pikachu is holding a lightball now this is just theoretical at this point nothing's been confirmed if it is holding the lightball knockoff it's going to be key in reducing the attack damage that the Pikachu can do you can remove that item turn one and it's only going to be hitting his half as hard as normally would be after that item has been removed fake tears nasty plot kind of makes sense nasty plot up three times boost your special attack up as much as you can fake tears reduce Pikachu special defense by two stages and then hit it with a frenzy plant which is a base 150 grass type attack it does have a cost or comes at a recharge turn after you've used it but because you're doing so much damage and if you are able to get three nasty plots up and then three fake tears off and with the life orb stacking on top of that I would say you're probably in a position where you're going to pick up the one shot onto the Pikachu with the frenzy plant especially if you've got a cheer or help and hand support around you ev spread on the meow scurrada pretty straightforward 252 hp 252 special attack rest dumped in special defense and the overgrow ability here now with the grass types out the way we'll get into more interesting builds if you want to have a little more fun with this raid over the weekend now the first pick is for rigouraf I love this pokemon normal and psychic typing with a terror electric typing so it might take a little bit of work to get this particular build done in game but I think a really good one and it will be a lot of fun when you get this going in game item shell bell there and then we have a move set of skill swap nasty plots sunny day and thunderbolt now we are building this off the presumption that Pikachu is going to have the lightning rod ability turn one you are going to skill swap making you completely immune to any of its electric type attacks but then you can set up your sunny day that's going to reduce the damage from the water type attacks that are coming out from the Pikachu and then nasty plot up three times to boost your special attack up and then start thunderballing away without worrying the world about it having lightning rod of being immune to any sort of electric type attacks because of that lightning rod of being on you and not on them the av spread on this for a graph this was built for competitive vgc player but it translates into this rate then pretty nicely you've got a lot of special defense bulk in here you've got two four four hp 28 defense 76 special attack 156 special defense and then the rest is just dumped in speed although it won't make any difference on this particular photograph because we've got a quiet nature six speed iv so you don't need to build it exactly the same but the ev spread for the defense the special attack in hp will all make sense and this particular spread will be linked down in the description along with everything else if you'd like to take a closer look at these after the video for your own builds and the next one the next fun one is going to be electros and you might be thinking yeah well you've been talking about lightning rod this whole video why are you bringing an electric type to this battle well electros is a good pokemon actually if we look at the moveset that we're going to give it has the terra typing electric shell bell is the item it is level 100 it is hyper trained as well and the moveset is gastro acid acid spray sunny day and thunderbolt so gastro acid when it does make contact with an opposing pokemon it will nullify their ability for the rest of the time that they're on the battlefield so the lightning rod will not be in effect you don't need to worry about it you can then hit it with your super effective electric type attacks acid spray is going to reduce its special defense by two stages sunny day going to reduce the damage from those water type attacks thunderbolt going to be your main attacking option with the terra typing as well going to boost that even further when you do terastalize levitate the only ability of option that we've got on there eevee spread we've got a modest nature and 252 hp 252 special attack and just some bonus options to mention clod sire i haven't included in the main builds because i just feel like it's damage output is a bit underwhelming but it is a very good support pokemon against this pikachu see with this water absorb ability and its pod ground typing it will have immunity to all of the electric and water type attacks that come out of the pikachu and can be a very good support pokemon we went for the leftovers on this and a moveset of recover acid spray stockpile and earth power and an eevee spread of 252 hp and 252 defense with a sassy nature there's a water absorb there basic premise is to support your partnering pokemon online in particular with the acid spray reducing special defense on the target pokemon by two stages stockpile gives you the ability to boost your own defenses and earth power just gives you a way to hit for a decent ish damage and like i say i just think it's overall damage output is a little bit underwhelming to be a solo build pokemon now another pokemon to mention is iron hands i think this will be actually really good if the pikachu doesn't have the lightning rod ability you can give it the terra type of electric citrus berry and go with the belly drum set obviously you'll be relying a bit more on thunder punch as its main damaging output here but you can always then rely on drain punch to give you some health recovery through this terror raid with an eevee spread of 252 hp 252 attack and an adamant nature and again it goes the same for belly bolt as well which you do feel like would be good going into this raid if the pikachu doesn't have lightning rod with that electric terror typing shell bell for recovery there and then slack off thunder wave which can be changed in particular to this raid event for something like reflect or light screen if you like there acid spray is again just going to reduce the special defense on the pikachu and discharge going to be your main attacking option with electromorphosis as the ability and hp and special attack with 252 eevee investment and a modest nature and also if you would like a little bit more fun going into this raid event this weekend if you've got a few friends that you would like to go online with and do this raid super quickly i've put together this team build which is going to include maria don is the main attacking option here you've got it at level 100 modest nature with the hedon drive ability 252 hp 252 special attack and four special defense move set of calm mind metal sound taunt and electro drift then pairing it up with electros you're going to need one of these in your party the main thing that you're going to want from the electros is that gastro acid acid spray and sunny day then you want to pair these two up with two clod sires recover acid spray helping hand and mud slap honestly mud slap is just a filler so you could put anything in that last slot for clod sire sassy nature water absorb 252 hp 252 defense and four special defense the basic premise against the pikachu is turn one your maria don is going to go calm mind gastro acid on the electros which will nullify the lightning rod ability on the pikachu whilst both clod sires go for acid spray the next turn you're going to go for another calm mind with maria don and acid spray with electros while one of the clod sire attack cheers and one goes for a defense cheer and then turn three which should be the last turn in this raid and i will test this when the event goes live you electro drift with your maria don then you go for either a heal cheer if required with electros or sunny day and then helping hand with both your clod sires which should remove the pikachu from the battle so just something fun i thought i'd add in for this video especially if you've got a few friends that you want to go into these raid events with have an easy time going through this raid event to form potentially some really good item drops they are the options that we've got today and our bolivia is my pokemon of choice i would say it's going to be a really fun one going into this event but hopefully i've given you some ideas that are going to be really beneficial for you going into this seven star raid event over the weekend of course i'll do a bunch of testing as soon as the event goes live and i will put up another video saying what the best and most consistent build for this event to get it and then farm for all of the items because i have a feeling that the item drops for this particular event are going to be probably better than if the other seven star terror raid events that we've had but if you've enjoyed today's video please drop a like it really goes a long way to help with the algorithm do subscribe to the channel if you enjoy this content you want to keep up with that other scholar and violet content that we do here on the channel thank you so much for tuning in take care of
