 Hello friends, welcome back to the channel. The seven star terror event for Empolion is now back in Skull and Violet. We're going to cover all of the details of this raid as well as the best Pokemon to solo this with in your game. So returning for its second phase in Pokemon Skull and Violet, the Empolion terror event is back and it will be running over this weekend from the 9th of February until the 11th. It will be level 100. It will have the mightiest mark. Ice is its terror typing. It can never be shiny. But it will have its hidden ability competitive. The moves it will have access to or surf, flash cannon, ice beam, grass knot with additional moves, snowscape, blizzard and iron defense. It will have a modest nature. So going to be hitting pretty hard. And this is only catchable once per save file. Going to get some really nice item drops with this one. So this one's good for going and just farming through for the high cost items like your nuggets, comic shorts, star pieces and other items as well as level up candies and terror shots and those elusive ability patches. Like I say, this is the second time out from Polyon. So if you missed it the first weekend from the second to the fourth, this is your last chance to get it with the mightiest mark while it is running in game. Now to access this event in your game, once you come to your main menu, make sure you are connected to the internet. Then come down to your poker portal and then come down to mystery gifts and check poker portal news. This will just update all of the dens in the Piled Air region. This event will not be appearing in Ketokami or in the Blueberry Academy, just in Piled Air. Once you locate the seven star terror aid then on your map, you'll be able to head over to it and take it on. Now in last week's video, we covered two really consistent easy builds that you're going to be able to use in your game, which are going to be the Vaporeon and the Mew. It will be linked in the top right hand corner of this video now and down in the description if you want to check the builds out for those Pokemon. But we do have another alternative build that is going to be just as good as those to feature in today's video and it is going to be Galead. So Galead going to be a fighting and psychic type that is going to have the fighting terror type on there. The held item is going to be a COVID clock that's going to prevent you from getting frozen in the raid, which is very useful, level 100 and hyper train. So making sure that all those IVs are 31. Of course, the build will be down in the description below if you want to take a look at that after the video. The moveset is going to be skillswap, mystical fire, sword stance and drain punch. Just be aware that mystical fire is an egg move to find something in your boxes that has the move mystical fire. Forget a move on the Galead and then put the mystical fire Pokemon in your party alongside the Galead and give the Galead a mirror herb item to hold. Set up a picnic and then that egg move will be transferred on to the Galead. So this is the moveset. We've got the ability steadfast. It really doesn't matter what ability you choose for this one. And the EV spread is going to be 252 EVs and attack 252 EVs in special defense with an adamant nature. So when you first come into the raid with Galead you're going to see the turn zero of the Empolion go for the snowscape that's going to summon the hail storm to the field for five turns. And then it is going to fire off a blizzard. So that is going to be 100% accurate in the hail and do some considerable damage to you and your teammates. But you should be able to take this pretty comfortably with Galead because you're so bulky. First turn we're going to lock in with the skillswap and we're going to steal the competitive ability on the Empolion meaning that we don't have to worry about it getting random boosts to its special attack throughout the rest of the raid. This is going to make it easier for us to just manage and set up our strategy. Next turn, what we're going to do is lock in with a mystical fire. Now, if you've got a belly bolt like we have it's a really good STR option for partnering Pokemon. It's going to set up a light screen as well. So it's going to just mean that you're able to take these attacks even better. Nice thing about mystical fire is it does reduce the special attack on the Empolion by one stage every time you use it. So we're going to fire off another one as well because we want this Empolion to not be as threatening going forward while we get our setup. And what we're waiting for really before we go for a sword stance is the fact that it will nullify stats on our side of the field. If you're getting low on HP, just click in with the drain punch, just recover some health back so you carry on the rest of the strategy and kind of wait out the turn where you see your stats and abilities nullified on your side of the field. Once that happens, we're kind of free to start firing off our swords dances. The nice thing about mystical fire as well and our drain punch is that we're in the point where we can trastleize now, but we don't want to click in with that until we're kind of ready to do some really big damage. So you can see here, there's the shield popping up from the Empolion and it will nullify our stats on our side of the field as well as pod parcel of this. If it doesn't nullify the stats on our side of the field, just go for your trastleization and go for another drain punch. It will inevitably come when it hits that kind of 80% mark of its health. So probably just going to have to just chip it down a little bit here and then that will happen and you may get there a little bit quicker depending on the partnering Pokemon that you've got. You can see it's not going to do a massive amount of damage but it's a chipping away at it nicely. Like I say, we're just getting to the point where we're able to set up our swords dances and not have to worry about our stats being nullified because we don't want to waste turns setting up swords dances early on in this raid where we have to kind of just set them up again. So we want to get to the point where we are in a position where we can go for those swords dances. So just go for those drain punches in the meantime while we're waiting for those to be nullified. And then once we get the swords dances under our belt, it's going to really expedite the amount of damage you can do. And here you can see nullified stat changes and abilities on our side of the field, super fine. And because of those mystical fires that we filed off earlier, the Empolion, as you can see, it's not really going to be able to do very much damage to us. Get these sword dances up. Three will be enough that will max your attack out to plus six and then we're going to be able to do some really big damage. And this is sword dance number three and then our attacks that is on plus six. I think the one thing that you have to worry about with the Empolion is that it does set up an iron defense. So we'll slow you down a little bit. It'll nullify our stats on our side of the field again. But you can see the damage that we're doing here. We're catching up with the raid timer, which is the main thing. Of course, this isn't going to be like a super quick raid to do, but it's very consistent and you're going to have no trouble at all with the glade even in the initial set up early on. You're going to have a really easy time kind of taking down the Empolion if it is your first time doing it to capture it in your game or if you're wanting to farm it for these high cost item drops that you do get from the raids, like level up candies and things like that, which are really, really useful for further terror raids, builds and things like that that you can do in your game. It's going to nullify stats on our side of the field again. So we can just take a few turns just to set the sword stances up once again. So we'll just need another three of those that'll just max out our attack. The rest of this raid here as the shield is broken. Now it will nullify its stat drops on its side of the field. So you have to bear in mind that once it does that, its attacks will be hitting a little bit harder. The Mystical Fire is something that you can just fire off at any point in order to reduce that special attack stat once again on the Empolion. So you're not taking as much damage than you can see here negative effect from its side of the field. So we can fire off a Mystical Fire once again just to put it to minus one. So like I say, it isn't hitting as hard and we're still in a good shape with the Raid Timer as well. But I think the big thing to think about with the Glades, it's just a super consistent method to be able to take down this Empolion. You aren't really going to be in a position where you're worried about getting knocked out, worried about getting frozen. All the bases are kind of covered here. It's just a little bit slower and you're going to have to have a little bit of patience but there's not really too much to it honestly. Just Skill Swap turn one. Mystical Fire turns two, three. Drain Punch into Contrast Lies. Wait for the stats being nullified on your side of the field. Set your three sword stances up and then Drain Punch. Whenever it does nullify the stat drops on your side of the field. Set your sword stances up again. Drain Punch again. And then use Mystical Fire whenever required after it nullifies the stat drops on its side of the field. And then basically that is the basic premise of this whole build. And like I say, we're catching up with the Raid Timer. Another few Drain Punches will be enough to close this one up. And this is the last Drain Punch. This should be enough to take down the Impoleon. And just like the new build that we featured in last week's video alongside the Vaporeon, the Galad is another brilliant option that you're going to be able to utilize throughout this raid. Have no trouble beating. And this one's probably one that you can take online as well and support fellow players because of the ability to lower the special attack on the Impoleon with the Mystical Fire and the ability to remove that ability in competitive as well. And you can just reap the rewards and cycle through the raids as much as you want while the event is running until the 11th of February. So that is everything for today's video, friends. Like I say, we featured two extra builds last week with the Mew and the Vaporeon. And then alongside the Galad, which we featured this week, we've got a lot of variety of Pokemon that you can choose from to take on this raid. Other Pokemon that are going to be very good at this raid are going to be things like Volcanion and Mageana. I haven't purposefully featured these Pokemon because they're not as readily available as the ones we featured on the channel. Trying to make it as accessible as possible to everyone and easy enough to solo the Impoleon. But I hope you've had fun with this event. This has been a really fun 7-star Terror Raid event. I do hope we get another one announced this weekend. Down in the comments section, get down there. Let me know what you think the next 7-star Terror Raid event will be. What do you think we'll not get one until maybe Pokemon Day, which is just around the corner. But thank you so much for tuning in, friends. As always, if the video has been helpful, do drop a like, do subscribe to the channel, and I will see you all in another video very soon. Until then, take care and bye-bye.
