 In today's guide we're going to go over the best Pokemon to use for the brand new 7 star Greninja event running now 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 the best early builds for this event that are going to make it super easy for you to go in beat the Greninja solo in game and start farming the super valuable high item drops that you get alongside it once you've caught the Greninja as you are only able to catch one Greninja per save file. So the two Pokemon that we are highlighting today is going to be Slowbro, it is a Pokemon that we're bringing back that we have a lot of familiarity with from the Cinderace raid then that we did recently and using pretty much the same strategy as we used in that den. And the other Pokemon if you would like to use something a little bit different is Vaporeon. We'll start with the Vaporeon here. It is going to have the psychic terra type. That is one thing that I would say definitely try and get the psychic terra type it takes advantage of one of the big moves that we'll be using on it obviously a water type as well and give it the leftovers item then we are going to go over to the move set it is going to have a move set of fake tears, calm mind, acid armor and stored power and then an EV spread of 252 special attack and 252 defense. We know the Greninja is going to be predominantly hitting us with more threatening attacks from its physical side so boosting that defense stat is going to make a lot more sense and then obviously boosting the special attack make sure that you are going to be hitting as hard as possible. Fake tears is there as an option to reduce the special defense stat on the Greninja if it hasn't got a shield up and then the other options are going to be calm mind to boost special attack, special defense by one stage every time you use it and then acid armor as well which boosts your defense stat by two stages and then once you boost it up enough times with those two moves you are going to start launching stored powers off into the Greninja and then you are going to take advantage of your psychic terra type that you've got on the Vaporeon as well to further boost that stored power to get as much damage out as possible. You've got the ability water absorbed there and you're going to have a modest nature on this Vaporeon. Now Vaporeon is a really good option going in against the Greninja. I think it's a great option but it is not as powerful as the Slowbro and this is what brings us back to the Slowbro here. The Slowbro you don't need to worry about what its ability is, there's nothing really on the Greninja that you're going to worry about that would warrant any particular ability out of the three that it does have. Just pick whichever one you've got on your Slowbro when you've caught it. You've got obviously the psychic terra type because that is going to definitely help in this terra raid because it is one that is going to drag on a little bit longer than maybe some other ones but at the moment early game Slowbro is still the best build to go into this one. So just make sure you have that psychic terra type. Then for the move set I would advise going with the move slack off so we've got a former recovery eye and defense like we had in that seven star cinderace then boosting your defense two times every time you use the move, nasty plot boosting your special attack as well two times every time you use it and then again the same sort of strategy relying on stored power which does more damage based on the more boosts that you've got on your stats. So ideally the premise of this is going to be using three eye and defense three nasty plot and then launching off stored powers using slack off whenever required if you need recovery. The EV spread on the Slowbro is going to be max HP, max special attack, you've got a modest nature on the Slowbro as well just to maximize damage and again I would actually attach the leftover item to the Slowbro even though the Grinninger has got Night Slash and it is the one thing that you're going to have to watch out for because it does have a high critical hit rate and it will ignore any stat boosts i.e. the defense boost that you've got if it does land a critical hit. So that is something you're going to have to keep in mind whereas it might be better for you if you are having problems with that to rely on something like the Vaporeon that isn't weak to those dark type attacks going to take neutral damage from pretty much everything that Grinninger throws out at you if you would prefer then taking maybe that odd chance where you get a big critical hit and it ruins your day with the Slowbro but otherwise Slowbro is going to be the more consistent out of everything that I've tested so far going into these Grinninger raids. So once you've got your Slowbro built exactly like this or your Vaporeon built exactly like this you want to just find the Terrorade, the 7-star Terrorade event done in your game. As you can see we've got it right here and we can just go right in and then take the Grinninger on. I can talk you through how to use this strategy. It is a lot like the strategy that we adopted in the 7-star Cinderace event so we'll be using the same kind of strategy here. If you take the Vaporeon into the raid event the first thing you're going to want to do is set up your Acid Armours then go for 3 Carmines and then start firing off your Stored Powers. Obviously go for 3 Acid Armours, boost your defends out to the max like we're going to do here with the Slowbro and then tracelize when you can into your Psychic type and then take advantage of that further boost with your Psychic Terror type. Now we're going to go into the battle, Grinninger always going to go for a double team and then lay the Toxic Spikes down onto the field. The first thing that we're going to do is just set up an Iron Defence. Now there is an argument where you could potentially go for a Stored Power here and do that for the first two turns because Grinninger normally on the second turn at the end of it it is going to nullify all of our stack boost but it is pretty risky because it does put you in a bit of a precarious position where you can get taken out the next turn if the Grinninger decides to go for a Night Slash. So you can see we've got two Iron Defenses up here and they will be nullified but it will mean that the Grinninger if it does nullify our stat boosts here that for the rest of the game we should be pretty safe to set ourselves up completely. So we'll go for a Slack off here just to recover some health because the Grinninger might decide to nullify our stat boost but it's never really as consistent as I'm saying here. It's normally two, three turns in we should see it pretty soon and there we go. So third, third or fourth turn in. Now we're pretty safe to just go for these Iron Defenses again, we had to waste a few turns there and you can see the timer has started to tick down a little bit but we're still in good shape. See here we've got three nasty plots, three Iron Defenses, we are ready to start launching off these Stored Powers. We should be able to terastalize like I was saying, Stored Power all going well and this should be the end of the raid event and you can see the timer's just below half I would say and it hasn't taken too long for us to do this one as long as this does hit. Obviously you're going to have to consider this is something that's going to happen in these raid events if you haven't got clear smog or something like that but we do, we connect and that is going to be enough to pick up the knockout on the Grinninger and it is as easy as that all going well. There are just a few caveats where things can go wrong. Night Slash can critical hit, double team can be played more times than we've seen in this one and you can miss a lot more. So there are a few things to consider but at the moment after everything I've tested slobbrow is the most consistent thing to take into these raid events. Again, bit funny that it was the best one for Cinderace and now it's the best one for Grinninger but it does feel like it is the most solid option going forward in these raids at the moment. If there's better options of course we will update you on the channel with better builds and alternative builds that you can use. So I hope you found this video useful friends, have fun farming the Grinninger raid dens this weekend especially if you are using the slobbrow. Once again, kind of happy that slobbrow worked out to be a really good build because a lot of you will already have it from that Cinderace event anyway. But just copy the build that we've used here, it is the most consistent one. You've got the recovery with the leftovers and then you've got that slack off as well which is just going to give you a bit more security against the volatile kind of raid that this can be with double team knights slash crits and things like that. But like I say, I hope you found it useful. If you have, drop a like. Thank you so much.
