 We recently did a video covering some of the best builds for you to go in and take on 5, 6 and 7 star Terrarids. Well today we're going to do something a little bit different. We're going to have a look at some of the best supporting option builds for you to go into these Terrarids to make things a lot easier for you in your games. But before we get into today's video, please subscribe to the channel. Remember, you can always unsubscribe later if you'd like to. So most of the builds that we cover here on the channel are predominantly meant for going in and making life a lot easier for you as a solo player. A lot of these builds are meant to have a really good setup, strong enough to survive a bunch of attacks and then clear the raid very easily. Be this a 5 or 6 or even a 7 star Terrarid. Sometimes these solo builds aren't the best to take online and there are other options that you can look at to help support your teammates, especially in that online environment. When you're playing solo, it doesn't matter how many times you're partnering Pokemon get knocked out, it isn't going to affect the timer at all. But when you're playing online with a group of friends or randoms, this changes where any one of you as a player gets knocked out, it will inflict a reduction on the timer. So for this reason, it's really good to have supporting options as well as those offensive options that can have that nice balance where you as a group online aren't constantly trying to set up, get knocked out and have your own game plan, but you're playing together as more of a unit to make these raids even easier. Now, I would always say that support raid mounds are primarily going to be more useful online than they are going to be using solo in your game because of the move options that they do have access to where they're going to be more beneficial to supporting a team unit rather than just going in and trying to run through a raid as quick as you can. But this isn't to say that a lot of the options that we haven't looked at today can't be applied to solo raiding as well in your game when you're offline. So for the first example today, we're going to look at a great support option, one of my favorites as well, which is Poltygeist and this is obviously a ghost type. It's going to have the ghost terror typing the builds I'll go through each and every one of them going to give it the clear amulet because it does stop opposing Pokemon reducing any stat boosts that you get to yourself. So it can be quite useful when we get to the move set and you'll understand in a second level. 100 is advisable for all of these terror raids and I have hyper trained each and every one of these Pokemon, so they all have that perfect 31 IV stat. Now for the move set for Poltygeist, we've got Skill Swap, Strength Zap, Nasty Plot and Shadow Ball. It has the ability weak armor and then we have an EV spread of 252 HP and 252 attack. Obviously, if you have your own EV spreads in mind, then you're more than welcome to go over to a damage calculator. Link one down in the description that you can use and get your EV spreads to your specific needs, although just because you're going in and against such an array of different Pokemon for the majority of the time, it's beneficial just to make sure that you've got that higher HP stat. And if you don't want as much in the offensive stats, then you can always distribute it in the defensive stats, especially if it's playing a more supportive role. The idea behind this specific build is to turn one skill swap that will change your ability, which is weak armor with the opposing terror bosses ability. This can be so useful against Pokemon like King Gambit, like Annihilate that have that defined ability that can be so annoying to deal with in raid battles, especially if you've got means of trying to lower their defense stats, so you can hit them a bit harder. Well, every time you do that, they're getting an attack boost and becoming way more threatening. If you can get rid of that turn one, which you can do with skill swap, it will remain that ability for the rest of the terror raid. It cannot reset its ability after you've used that initial skill swap. So very good ability to use, and especially with the upcoming Dragapult raid this weekend, you can get rid of something like the clear body ability on Dragapult, so you're then able to reduce those stats. Very useful, like I say. The next move is Strength Sap, a great move, and it's going to be your line of recovery to keep Poltegeist healthy. And at the same time, you're going to be able to reduce the attack stat on the opposing terror boss. Nasty Plot is there for later on in these battles, where you're going to be able to just boost your own special attack up, and then Shadow Ball is your form of attack when you are in a comfortable position, where you and your teammates are able to kind of launch off attacks a bit more safely. But the skill swap and the Strength Sap are very good options for not only doing these raids solo, but online and supporting fellow players. Now, the next Pokemon we're going to look at is Bellybolt. It is an electric type. We do have that electric terror typing on it. It is have the held item of Expert Belt. Obviously, you can change that if you'd like, prefer something else. And it does have the ability, Modus, boosting that special attack stat with an EV spread of 252 HP, just maximizing its longevity and 252 special attack. With the move set, Slack Off is going to be a form of recovery, electric terrain to not only boost your electric type attacks, but give your you and your teammates an immunity to sleep. Going to have acid spray there as well, which is a big supporting option for not only allowing you to go into raids as a solo player, to reduce the special attack stat on opposing terror bosses. But you can also support your teammates as well. You've got that electric terrain for sleep immunity that can be so annoying to deal with things like yawn, things like spore, sleep powder, all those sort of things that can be annoying to deal with. And then you can support your teammates with the acid spray to make it a lot easier to take the terror boss down. The nice thing about acid spray is because it is an attacking move, the drops aren't blocked by the shield when that goes up on a terror boss. So you're still going to be able to reduce that special defense stat by two stages every time you hit that attack. And then we've got discharge as the main option for you to use on belly bolt. So you're able to do some big damage to it. Electromorphosis is the ability on belly bolt, probably the more optimal one here as well. And it is a regular ability, so you should be able to get that no trouble at all. The next Pokemon is going to be one of my all-time favorites. And I think a really good option for supporting an offensive raids is Muck. Poison type, it gives you a nice option as well with that poison territory for going up against specifically annoying fairies and things like that. We've got an adamant nature on it, with a EV spread of 252 in HP and 252 in attack. The ability stench there, you probably want to change this to poison touch, which is its hidden ability, but it doesn't really make too much difference. Move set, we've got screech, taunt, acid spray and that poison jab. You've got screech, which plays really nicely into poison jab. If you're going into solo, taunt there to stop any setup from opposing raid bosses. And acid spray, again, going to be very good for a supportive move for any partnering Pokemon that you do have to reduce that special defense on the opposing terror boss. Next up, we've got electros. It's going to be another electric type with that electric terror typing as well. Shell bell is the item here on this with that levitate ability. Going to have an EV spread here of 252 HP EVs and 252 special attack EVs. And then a move set of acid spray, gastro acid discharge and electric terrain. So gastro acid, really nice move, a little bit like skill swap, but you're not swapping abilities this time. You're just negating the ability on the opposing side of the field, which is really nice. Then you've got that combination of acid spray as well, which then allows you to reduce the special defense stat on the opposing terror boss. You've got electric terrain, which supports your team members. Because you are levitate and you're not touching the terrain, you're not gaining any benefit from it. So you're still going to be susceptible from sleep moves. You're still going to be susceptible from your own yourself, but you can protect your partnering or group Pokemon from this. And then discharge gives you a nice option for getting damage off once you've got those acid sprays off as well. Next up, we've got Espatra, which is the new psychic type Pokemon. We've got the clear amulet as its health item. Again, level 100 like every other Pokemon here. And it has got a move set of Roost, Carmine, Featherdance and Lumina, Crash. We've got the ability opportunistic. And then an EV spread on this Pokemon of 252 HP EVs and 252 special attack EVs with a modest nature. The nice thing about Espatra is that it does have the ability to recover itself off really easily with that Roost. You can boost your stats up with Carmine to give yourself this special defense boost and special attack boost to make you quite threatening as a player on the field. And then you've got that Featherdance as well, which is going to reduce an opposing terror bosses attack by two stages, which is huge. And then we come down to that move, Lumina Crash, which reduces the opposing terror bosses special defense stat by two stages every time you hit it. So increasing the damage significantly every time you use this move. And it's also a move that works through the shields as well. Opportunist ability as well is so good because it copies any of the stat boosts that your opposing terror boss Pokemon is using. So you're going to get the benefits of those as well. Overall, a really good support option Pokemon because of that Featherdance, because of the Carmine, the damage output that you've got there. But it is a Pokemon that you're going to be able to take and you do solo raids with easily as well. Now moving on to Umbrian, we're getting more into the specific support Pokemon. Starting off, of course, with Umbrian, it has got that Leftovers item. The item can be interchangeable. Obviously something like Safety Goggles could be good here. But Leftovers, I find quite reliable and nice means of recovery each turn because Umbrian has such bulk to it. Terror type is going to be dark. And on Umbrian, we have a bold nature just to boost its defense stat. We have a EV spread of 252 HP, 252 defense. It's got the synchronized ability, which I actually like in terror raids. So if you get paralyzed or affected by any status condition, it will then be transferred onto the terror boss as well. We've got taunt. It is such an important move to have in terror raids because obviously the terror bosses do tend to set up a lot of the time. That stops that completely. So you don't have to worry about setup. You don't have to worry about status moves as well, which is great for you and your partner in Pokemon. Snarl is a really nice option to reduce the special attack on the terror boss as well and can hit through the shield. You've got screech, which is going to be a great option to lower the defense stat of opposing terror bosses as well. By two stages each time you use it. And then foul play is an attacking option for Umbrian. Just to do decent damage. But all in all, Umbrian, a great, great support option and something that is one of the best ones I feel to take online to do terror raids with. Next up, we've got Gudra. So Gudra, the dragon type, it is going to have the terror type of dragon. Going to have the item shell bell for a line of recovery when you do damage. We've got the modest nature on Gudra and it is going to have an EV spread of 252 HP and 252 special attack EVs. We're going to have the ability GUI, which is a brilliant ability. So anytime the Gudra takes a contact move from an opposing terror boss, it will lower their speed by one stage, which is very useful in terror raids. Going to have the move set of acid spray, which again hits through shields. If the shields are up and reduces the special defense on an opposing terror boss by two stages. Life due, it is going to heal up you and your partner in Pokemon by a quarter every time you use it. So a good line of recovery for you and your party Pokemon. Chilling water is an attack that you can really benefit from as well as a special type attack, but does reduce the attack stat on terror raid or opposing Pokemon by one stage every time you use it. And then dragon pulse gives you a stab option to play off your dragon terror type if you do want to terastalize at any point in the games. Next up, we have Gastrodon. It is going to be that water and ground type Pokemon. We've got the itemistic water on it here and the terror type water. Obviously, if you would prefer to have a different item choice on Gastrodon that is more suitable for how you play, then that is an option. There are plenty of options out there that Gastrodon can take advantage of. And also with the terror type as well, if you want to go ground to give you that electric immunity, if you feel like it's more beneficial, then that is an option as well. We've got the move set of recover, clear smog, mud slap and chilling water. So we've got a line of recovery there with that recover and then clear smog a great move, which removes all stat boosts to the opposing terror boss when you hit it with this move. A great option. Mud slap is there. It's not a very powerful move, but it is an annoying move for opposing terror bosses to have to deal with because you are going to be reducing their accuracy stat every time that you use this move. So it means that their moves are going to be hitting as option given you and your partner in Pokemon a way easier time. And then you've got the chilling water as well, which gives you a stab option with your water typing as well as a way to reduce the attack stat on opposing terror raid bosses. You've got the ability storm drain, it pretty much gives you the immunity to water as well as any time a water move. It's fired out onto the field, then it will give you a boost to your special attack as well. The EV spread for this Gastrodon, and like I say, you can cater your EV spreads for specifically how you need them, but for this Gastrodon, I always find it more useful to have a very bulky, specially defensive one. And you could build one that's more specially defensive and then an alternative one is more defensive build. This one here has got a calm nature. It's got 252 HP EVs and then 252 special defense EVs as well. But like I say, if you want to go for a bold nature with 252 HP and then 252 defense EVs, then that is an option you can have as well. Next up, we've got Chansey. And Chansey, unlike a lot of the other Pokemon we covered in today's video, is primarily just going to be a support Pokemon, one that you're going to want to take into online raids to support your fellow Pokemon players because you aren't going to be really doing any damage with this Chansey, but it is going to be sticking around on the field and being a thorn in the side for those opposing Terra bosses because you're going to be able to do a lot to help keep your partnering Pokemon healthy and in a good spot to take down the Terra boss. We've got the normal Terra type, not that it really matters, any Terra type can work on this because the chances of you terasolizing in these battles is probably very unlikely. We've got that EVO light item, which gives you a 1.5 boost to your defense and your special defense stats because you are a pre-evolved Pokemon. Obviously, the final evolution is blessy. And then we've got the move set of light screen, life dew, helping hand and charm. Now the ability here is natural cure that I've got, but if I have a spare ability patch, this is something I would change to healer which gives you a chance to heal your Pokemon status condition, your partner in Pokemon status conditions rather than the natural cure, which is not the best option here. So just to note that one, EV spread, we have got a bold nature with 252 HP and 252 defense EVs. We don't really need any investment in that huge special defense stat anywhere. The light screen is going to give your teammate support against special type attackers and you're going to be in a great position to come in against any special type attacker and just soak up those attacks to get that off and support your partnering Pokemon. You've got the life dew, which heals you and your partnering Pokemon up as well. Helping hand going to boost the attack damage from partnering Pokemon and then charm is an option to reduce the attack stat by two stages on any terror bosses that you face. So all in all, Chansey does have a bunch of other options that you can use with it, but it is a very strong support option and you're going to be everyone's best friend in Terrorids online if you go in with a Chansey, especially if it's a special attacker, maybe not so much for those primarily physical attacking Pokemon because it isn't the strongest on that side of things, but it will help your raid partners through any raid be able to beat most of the Terrorids that you're going to come up against. Next up is Hatterine, Psychic and Fairy type Pokemon. Terror type is going to be Fairy for this one. We're going to give the item Light Clay and Hatterine is a great support option that you can take into using raids online. A bit like Chansey, it's going to be more of a Pokemon that's going to play a more supporting role rather than have an offensive outlet to it as well. Move set is going to be Dazzling Gleam, Life Dew, Reflect and Light Screen. So with that Light Clay, you're going to get extending turns for your Light Screen and Reflect rather than last for five turns with the Light Clay. It's going to mean that they last for eight turns alternatively. It's going to have the ability Magic Bounce as well, which is a great option because any status conditions coming out at Hatterine, it's going to be bounced back at the opponent. That includes things like Taunt. If anything tries to taunt you, that taunt will be bounced back onto them and they will be taunted. So it's a really good option for just keeping Hatterine safe and allowing it to function as a brilliant support Pokemon. Life Dew is a great option for support, like we've mentioned on other Pokemon, going to heal up you and your partner in Pokemon by a quarter of their HP. And then we're going to have Dazzling Gleam for just an attacking option as well with Hatterine. Obviously you can change this to a psychic terra-typing if you want and put a psychic-type attack on here. It's quite flexible, but primarily the basis of this support Pokemon is to set those screens up and give that defensive boost to you and your partner in Pokemon as well as then being able to sit there and recover health every turn as and when you need it. EV spread is going to be a bold nature on this Hatterine. It is a bit weaker on the defensive side of things. And then we've went for an EV spread of 252 HP and 252 defense EVs. Next up is Grim Snarl. So Grim Snarl is going to be the dark and fairy type. The terra-typing here doesn't really matter too much, but primarily if you want to have an offensive outlet you probably want to play a fairy or either the dark depending on which to attack and move that you choose to rely on with your Grim Snarl. I'd always suggest having at least one attacking move on your builds just because you've got then an option to actually do damage to Pokemon if you're in a bind and you get in a sticky situation where potentially you do get taunted and you're not locked out of doing anything every turn. Held item is going to be the terrain extender because we do have the move Misty Terrain on this Grim Snarl. So it just means that you're going to get more turns of the terrain on the field unless it is obviously changed but normally you get five turns. The terrain extender makes it last for eight turns. So as soon as you do set that Misty Terrain up if it doesn't get overwritten by another terrain it will last for eight turns just giving you a bit more protection. The nice thing about Misty Terrain is as well it gives you complete immunity to any status conditions like confusion, sleep, paralysis, burn any of those really annoying things for you and your partnering Pokemon for as long as it's on the field. So a really good option support wise for you to go into Terorates with. You're going to have reflect as well like it gives you and your partnering Pokemon a way of buffing those defense stats for five turns. Fake tears is going to be your support option to reducing special defense on the opposing Terorate boss to make it easy for your partnering Pokemon to deal with and then you're going to have Spirit Break as well which hits through the shield on Terorate bosses and reduces the special attack stat on those Pokemon every time it's hit by one stage. Got the ability prankster as well on Grimmsnull really important to have this ability on your Grimmsnull it is going to give any non-damaging moves a plus priority bracket so they're going to go before anything else with the prankster ability. We've got an impist nature on this Grimmsnull and then an EV spread of 252 Hp EVs 116 defense EVs and then 140 special defense EVs and this just splits the defense EVs a little bit. As I've said in many other examples we've got in this video you can cater your EV spreads to how you would like you can have a bit like the Gastrodon you could have a Grimmsnull where you've got a more defensive build and then you've got a more specially defensive build depending on what you're needing for support wise in raid vials. So that is every single Pokemon that I wanted to cover in today's video. I hope these builds will be helpful for you if you have your own support Pokemon builds that you've been using either online to support friends or randoms let me know what they are down below I would love to hear what you've been using in the support roles for Terrorades. I hope you found today's video useful if you have please drop a like and subscribe to the channel to stay up to date with all of the latest Pokemon skull and violet content. Thank you so much for tuning in friends and I'll see you all in another video very soon. So until then take care of yourselves and bye-bye.
