 In today's video we're going to go over the best pokemon to solo the latest 7 star Pikachu Terrarid event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. 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 the pokemon that we're going to go over in today's video are going to be the best early builds that we've got for going in and beating soloing this Pikachu 7 star Terrarid event. Now we covered all of the details already on the channel if you want to check that video out I will link it up here for you it goes over all the details the move sets everything that you can expect to see from this Pikachu 7 star raid event and it is a lot tougher than what we initially thought obviously in our best builds video that we did in the lead up to this event we did a bunch of builds that are pretty much not going to be that effective going into this one because of the Pikachu putting a shield up as soon as the raid battle begins. Now we did suspect this going into this event but things like fake tears and other status moves like skillswap, gastro acid are just not going to work going into this raid event. So the two pokemon that we are highlighting in today's video are going to be Laurentus and Meowscarota. Now Meowscarota was the pokemon that we used in our initial video but I've changed the move set just slightly because the fake tears like I've already mentioned is a bit redundant we've given Gigadrain over that slot so Gigadrain going to give you another move to use to get to your triasalization a little bit quicker. So you're not having to go through those recharge turns with frenzy plant but once you're triasalized you'll be able to go for those frenzy plants and do some huge damage. The basic build is with the life orb it has got a grass terra typing and a move set of knockoff which is so important for getting rid of that light ball at the start of the battle you knock it off then the damage is cut in half from the pikachu then you're going to rely on nasty plot and then gigadrain then you can triasalize and you're in a healthy spot to do so and then you can start launching either gigadrains or frenzy plants off onto the pikachu. Now the ev spread that we've got for this meowscarota is 252hp 252 special attack and the overgrow ability here. The things that you're going to have to watch out for in the early game before you triasalize are going to be the play roughs from the pikachu but because you have used the knockoff the damage will be cut down but it still will be threatening you every time it does try and use that move but that is the meowscarota but getting on to the main build of this video and it is all going to be centered around lorantis. Now lorantis is going to be a pure grass type it is going to have that grass terra typing as well and we've given it the shell bell item. For this build we've went with a modest nature we have hyper train this lorantis as well so all of its IVs are 31 using bottle cap. We have maxed out its EVs using 252hp 252 special attack and 4 special defense with the contrae ability which is the hidden ability so you're going to need an ability patch to get this ability if you don't catch one in a terror raid and what contrae does is every time you take a stat drop it actually reverses that and gives you a stat boost instead so something like leaf storm where you would take minus two after you've used that move it'll actually give you a plus two instead so you're kind of boosting yourself up every time you use an attack with that contrae ability. Now the move set is synthesis sunny day solar beam and leaf storm the basic premise is going in against the Pikachu you're going to set up your sunny day turn one soon as you can synthesis turn two if you need to recover some health or heal cheer and then start launching off those leaf storms after three of them you should be in a position where you can to rascalize you might need an extra turn if the Pikachu kind of steals some of your terror or power but once you can to rascalize you're going to be able to cut through the Pikachu pretty easily but this is the lorantis here as I say with the modest nature that EVs spread that hidden ability and the shell bell item level 100 of course as well so let's go into the raid and I'll show you exactly how good this lorantis can be at going in against this Pikachu solo okay so before the terror raid battle even begins the Pikachu is going to throw up its shield immediately so it's going to have those defense boosts straight away and it's also going to set up rain dance as well and then get a surf off so it's going to get a lot of damage off right off the bat before you're able to do anything but being a grass type lorantis is going to be able to take this pretty well the first thing that we're going to look to do is set our sunny day up so we reduce the damage of the surf and we also reduce the accuracy of thunder as well thunder 100 accurate when it is in the rain if it is in the sun it becomes 50 accurate so that is something that we all want to take advantage of first of all now we are going to take a bit of damage we'll be able to survive this turn and get our sunny day up now you're in a position this turn where you're probably going to want to go for a heal chair if you go for a synthesis here you're all going to faint so the heal chair is something that you're going to want to take advantage of in this spot and then the next turn we can go for that synthesis because then we'll be in a bit of a better position and if we get a bit lucky with maybe a thunder miss we're going to be in a great spot to try and heal up fully first to start launching those leaf storms off fortunately the thunder does hit but not doing too much damage but we are in a position where we can get that synthesis off here and we do get fortunate with that thunder miss and because it is 50 accurate because the sun's up it does help us a bunch now we're going to be in a healthy position where we are going to start launching these leaf storms off and like I said with that contraeability instead of getting minus two every turn that we hit a leaf storm we're going to get plus two every turn which means that we can get to plus six quite easily and hopefully if our terror orb energy is installed and we're going to be in a good position where we can terastalize pretty early maybe not though we'll see what the Pikachu does as another thunder misses but this is why the thunder is so important and also just bear in mind if you are using this set and this spread and moves and everything like that then do bear in mind the leaf storm is a lower accuracy move so we'll miss from time to time and that can be quite frustrating as well because it is slowing your progress down to be able to terastalize but there we go there's the third one we are going to be on plus six now so it's just a matter of time before we are able to terastalize and start doing some big damage to this Pikachu the sun will be running out it only lasts on the field for five turns so we want to set it up again just to reduce the damage of that surf and reduce the accuracy of the thunder and keep that going until we can terastalize it'll just make the battle a lot easier for us so just bear that in mind and you can keep an eye on how active the sun is in your battle status screen you can see here we got the plus six and the sun isn't actually active at the minute but we can just throw it up now as we get pretty fortunate with another thunder miss okay we can now terastalize we are plus six I would suggest locking in with solar beam if you've got the sun active on the field this turn because this will mean that you aren't going to miss if you terastalize and you go for that leaf storm first turn and you're relying on the recovery the health recovery from the shell bell it's probably not advisable to click in a leaf storm the first thing you're going to want to do is click in with the solar beam and that will make sure it hits and we get pretty fortunate here with another thunder miss which is great so we're going to be in a good position now to close out this game and we're going to because with terastalize now it's really important that we do not faint we do not get knocked out because if you lose your terastalization against this Pikachu you're not going to be able to do any damage at all to it because obviously you've seen the damage that we've done before we terastalize it's just non-existent we are going to be able to get this last leaf storm off and hopefully this is the last one that we get as another thunder comes out and misses so if you keep the sun up on the field you will get pretty fortunate with the thunders like it's a coin flip at this stage and that's the best you can do to kind of put the odds in your favor and that is as easy as it is with lorantis and then you're going to be able to get all of these amazingly good high cost items by just farming the event over and over and like i covered in the last video once you've done a raid event in your game you've cleared it it will disappear and it won't spawn again until the next day rolls around but you can use a little trick in your game to get the raid event back if you can see on our map here it isn't there anymore but if you hit your home menu come down to system settings then into system then down to date and time just make sure your synchronized clock for the internet is off clicking today just click through it till you get to the okay come back into the home menu and then all your raid event then will respawn and you'll just need to locate the next seven star terror event then there it is and then head to it and that is as easy as it gets so that is everything that we were going to cover in today's video i think lorantis at the moment as an early build is the best pokemon that we can take into this raid event to do this event solo in your own copy of skull and violet so if you do take this build in to use against pikachu please let me know down in the comment section how you're getting on with it or what builds you've been using and what you're finding more success with in this terror event i hope you have a lot of fun with this event over the weekend thank you so much for tuning in if you found this video useful please drop a like do subscribe to the channel for more pokemon skull and violet content and i will see you all in another video very soon so until then friends take care of yourselves and bye
