 In today's video, we're going to have a look at some of the best builds that you can take into this week's brand new Terrarid Spotlight event featuring Armor Rouge and Serellege. 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 starting on the 3rd of February, we featured a video yesterday on the channel going over all the details for the brand new Terrarid Spotlight event that will be happening this week, which will be featuring the Version Exclusives Armor Rouge for Pokemon Scarlet and Serellege for Pokemon Violet. And in that video, I did say if you'd like to see some builds that would make going into this raid a little bit easier, some dedicated builds for these specific Pokemon, then let me know and you did. So here we are with today's video. Now before we get specifically into the meeting bones of the builds that I've picked out for this raid event, we can have a look and reference what these Terrarids are going to typically look like this weekend from the current five star raids that we already have in game. Obviously these are just a reference, so it isn't any guarantee that they're going to be exactly the same as this, but like I say, it gives us some reference to an idea behind what movesets they're going to have and typically things that we can expect. Level 75 is going to be the level of the Pokemon that you're going in against against these five star raids and Armor Rouge is probably going to have its hidden ability as well as its base ability, so obviously that flash fire is going to be one of the options and then weak armor is the other one. The moves that they're typically going to have, Armor Rouge going to have that Armor Cannon, powerful fire type attacking move, Psychic as well, and then Nightshade, Willow Wisp, Sunny Day as additional move and then Calm Mind as well, something to watch out for. Typically these are not going to be as difficult as your seven star raid events that we've had like the Greninja, Cinderace and Charizard, they're going to be a lot easier to manage but it's good to just have a look at these options, you're going to have Cerrelage there as well, again the same with the abilities, probably going to have access to the hidden ability as well as its base ability, Bit of Blade going to be a staple on this set, going to have Shadowclaw, Psychicut, Willowwisp, Sunny Day and then its boosting option if it does have one is going to be Solde's Dance. So it gives you an idea of the attacks that you're going to expect. The Terror types are going to be random for these events, so expect to come up against a bunch of different Terror type Pokemon but these are predominantly the moves that they're going to have, no Terror Blast anywhere on these sets to be seen and I wouldn't have thought they would have Terror Blast so really when you are building a Pokemon going into these events you're going to want to look at the move options that they've got and then build something around that that's going to be able to resist these attacks, give you an easy time and pretty much cover bases with a wide variety of typings as well. So jumping into game, these are the three Pokemon if you are wanting to get dedicated builds for this weekend to make these raids super easy to do whether you're doing them in your copy of the game or you're going online to do the opposite version exclusive from people that are hosting those. I think all three of these Pokemon cover the bases pretty nicely. Now the top of my list is going to be Houndoom for a number of reasons. It's got that dock and fire typing, which definitely helps it out. The fire typing not so much, but the fact that it does have the ability flash fire really makes it immune to any sort of fire attacks that the Armour Rouge or the Sera Lege can throw out at it. It's obviously got that dock typing. It's going to be immune to any psychic type attacks from the Armour Rouge and it's going to resist any ghost type attacks from the Sera Lege not going to be able to get burnt, which both of them seem to have access to Willowespin. It seems to be a common option on there as well. So Houndoom all in all feels like a very good Pokemon to bring against both these Pokemon. Obviously, when we are talking about them having a variety of different terror types, you're going to have to have moves that kind of hit across the board for neutral damage, at least. And I feel like between Dark Pulse and Hyper Voice, you've got good coverage for whatever terror type you're going in against. Obviously, you don't want to rely on a fire type attack on your Houndoom because of the flash fire ability that would be present on either of these Pokemon. You've got Taunt there to stop the initial setup from Armour Rouge or Sera Lege, the Carmine or the Swordstands. Got a nasty plot, which helps you boost your attack up and then Hyper Voice, if it is more preferable to use, depending on the terror type that you're going up against or Dark Pulse, which is going to be your stab attack, your same type of attack bonus, which if they are in their base type, see the sidekick or they've got that ghost typing as their terraform, then the Dark Pulse is going to be extremely good against both of these Pokemon. Now, you can catch a Houndoom super easy next to PocoPath at the beginning of the game. I actually went out earlier and got myself a shiny one. Super nice and easy to do, got it in the moon ball there. But the item that we're choosing for this build is going to be Shellbell because otherwise, Houndoom doesn't really have any good form of recovery. You'd be relying on the cheers then. So at least with Shellbell, when you do some big damage to these Pokemon, you're going to get that recovery. Just extends longevity, especially taking advantage after you've used those nasty plot boosts. We've got an EV spread of 252 HP, 252 attack with a modest nature on there as well. And like we've already mentioned, taunt, nasty plot, hyper voice and Dark Pulse are the move options on it with a dark terra type, which I feel like is probably the best terra type to have on Houndoom because the dark typing is really what you're going into this raid with the flash fire there. Part of the fire typing is just a bonus on the Houndoom. Just gives you that immunity like we've mentioned already to those fire type attacks that could come out from your opponent. So Houndoom, like I say, it is going to be level 100. Don't forget that. It's hyper trained as well. So I have bottle capped all of its stats, except its attack because that's an irrelevant stat as well as those EVs. But I think top pick going in this weekend will do a good job solo or supporting players online as well. My next pick, if you don't fancy using Houndoom, which another Pokemon I do feel like will do a very good job in these rage is for Rigorath. It is a normal and psychic type for reasons alone, it is going to resist a lot of the main attacks that are coming out from Amaru's Serellege. You're going to resist the psychic type attacks, being a psychic type yourself. You're going to be immune to the ghost typing because of your normal typing. And you have a lot of bulk as well to allow you to take those fire type attacks. And you're not really going to be worried about Willowisk because you're mainly relying on your special attacking stat anyway. We've went with the Shellbell. Again, nice form of recovery when you've got attacks off with your Rigorath. We've went for a Terra type normal on this one, but it can be really anything that you want. I just want more power from our hyper voice when we do Thraslize in battle. The ability is not really important on the Rigorath if you're stuck for an ability or getting an ability patch or a capsule. To change that, I've got Armatill in this because it is just generally the best ability on Rigorath. But the move set, more importantly than anything else, is going to be Skill Swap because if they have got the Flash Fire, first turn you can take that away from them and you've got it and then you've got that immunity to any of their fire type attacks for the rest of the battle, which is super useful. Nasty plot, again, a bit like the Houndoom, boosting our special attack up so we hit harder. Hyper voice, going to be something that we're going to be using predominantly, not against Cerrel Edge. Obviously, if it has got that ghost, Terra typing, they'll be immune to it so you don't want to be relying on that. But then you have the Shadow Ball as the alternative option that you can hit them for very good damage with. Again, gives you nice coverage over pretty much everything, the hyper voice and the Shadow Ball. So you're pretty safe with this move set and it does a nice job. We've got a quiet nature on it, but you could go modest. This was a trick room build that I had that I've turned into a raid month. So anything boosting special attack and ignoring the attack, all the speed kind of works for a graph in this raid build. Now for EV spread, I would say, just go down a simple route for this one. These are five star raids. You don't need to do anything fancy. I would go 252 HP, 252 attack. I have a slightly different EV build here, but again, this is more dedicated for competitive play that I haven't changed the EV spread, but it will do a fine job. Like I say, I think if you are building this from scratch, just go 252 HP, 252 special attack, and then dump anything into probably the special defense that's remaining the stick that you got left over. Again, it is hyper trained as well, and it is level 100 just to make it a lot easier going in against these Pokemon. And the final one for those of you that want a supporting option and maybe something just a little bit more different, it is Umbrian. It can be a very good Pokemon to take online, support friends with, and it will do a job against all of these Pokemon. Again, the dark type, dark terra typing, got the leftovers option on the Umbrian here, and it is gonna have a moveset of moonlight for recovery, screech to law defense on the opposing Pokemon by two stages every time you use it. Skill swap again to disrupt the ability of the Serellege or Armor Rouge by taking that flash fire. You get that immunity to fire by doing it, and then file player to play off, especially into that Serellege. It's gonna use sword stance. You're gonna really take advantage of that. Hit harder because file players damage is based off your opponent's attacking stat, which makes it quite nice and the screech has quite a nice compliment there as well with it. So synchronize the ability there. Could be in a focus if you wanted, but it doesn't really make too much difference. The EV spread on this one is 252 HP, 252 defense, or you could do a defense split across defense and special defense as well there. We've got a bold nature on this one, but again, it doesn't really matter too much because both Serellege and Armor Rouge are kind of a special and a physical attacker. A spread if you're going up against them, a split across the special defense and defense would probably be more optimal and if you wanna boost any of the defenses, it's gonna be more optimal to boost your special defense. So something like a calm nature here would be better because the base stat total of that special defense stat on Umbrian is the highest overall. You wanna be boosting that out of everything else. So predominantly that would be what I would suggest, although you can go with the build that we've got here because it will work fine. And this one is just to be a bit more of a Pokemon that you can take online and use to support friends as well as have a good job doing it solo in-game if you like, if Umbrian's your favorite Pokemon. But like I say, I think the Houndoom is probably the most optimal going into this weekend and how often do we get to use Houndoom as well? So it's a really nice way for us to take it, use it, a cool Pokemon that doesn't get so much love and I think it's gonna do really well this weekend. So in-game as well, I have managed to find myself a five-star Omorouge raid. So we're gonna go in against it right now and show you how the Houndoom can perform against the Omorouge and it is a flying Terra-type. So random Terra-type as well, which will kind of show the example, hopefully working pretty well. Right, so here we go against the Omorouge. So this is pretty much gonna be a little bit of a preview. I wouldn't have thought that the actual five-star spotlight event will be much different from this and we'll start off like I would do in the spotlight one, we'll go for the taunt. We will stop Omorouge setting up any of those calm mines that it can do to get a bit out of control. Going straight for that armor cannon, boosting our flash fire. So showing already how useful having that ability is and I don't suppose this one's gonna be too difficult. Omorouge, Cerreledge aren't really renowned for having the best defenses. They are very good offensively, but they're not like glass cannons where they're just gonna get taken down super easy but the fact is they aren't gonna be massively difficult to deal with and if you have been doing a lot of the seven-star rate events recently, you're gonna have a pretty easy time coming into this but these specific builds will make it a lot easier, especially if you're new to raids and things like that. We've used two nasty plots. I think a dog pulse now is gonna be more than enough. Not quite because we have a lot of weakness of course but you can see the shell bell there really coming in handy and Omorouge will throw a shield up but like I say, these are not gonna be too difficult to take advantage of. The nice thing about the spotlight terror raids is you normally get more shards and extra item drops although you do lose the fact that you could get potentially things like Herbomistica and stuff from that there and you can see how useful something like the taunt is going into these matches because I will take this last one and I think it's fainted there from that last attack which it has but there we go. Yeah, nice and easy. Didn't take too long at all. Houndoom doing a really good job. I'm excited to actually use it this weekend in these spotlight terrors. I'm not gonna catch it because I'll just wait and get one this weekend of course and then jump online and get a Serellege as well which is a nice way for us to be able to complete our Pokedexes but you can see here I think from the item drops that we're getting here I'll be very similar to the ones that we're gonna get from the five star event raids but they will slightly differ of course as well. So that is everything that I wanted to cover in today's video friends. I hope you have found it useful. I hope the builds are something that are some use to you and if you do use them this weekend please let me know down in the comment section below. I would really love to hear if you put these together and you've had a lot of success with them going in against these Pokemon. I do feel like when I've looked at the options that you've got going into these events these are probably the best ones that you can go in against disrupting with things like taunt with the skill swap as well. Really nice options and then having that dark coverage for both types either be the psychic or the ghost and then covering outside of that with the different stereotypes that they can have are gonna be good options going into this event spotlight.
