 The 7 star turret event for Chessnaught is now live in Pokemon Scholar in Violet. We already covered one of the best builds in Appleton for beating this raid, but we've got three more builds for you to feature in today's video. Now, on the back of the Appleton video, there was a number of comments saying how it wasn't the most accessible Pokemon to get. Now, one of the things I like doing in these best build videos is to make sure that the Pokemon that we're using most of the time are really accessible to you all. So you're going to have an easy time to catch the Pokemon, train it up and then take it into these raids to either catch the Pokemon or just farm it for the high item cost. Now, of course, the first phase of this turret event will be running from the 12th of May until the 14th and returning for its second phase on the 19th till the 21st of May. If you want to break down of all the details for the turret event itself, do check out the Appleton video that we put up, covers everything that you're going to need to know about this new 7-star turret raid. Now, the builds that we're going to feature in today's video are all going to be linked in the description, so you can check those out in your own time. Of course, we have the Appleton that we've already covered in a previous video. But if you want to get yourself an Appleton, if it is a bit difficult for you to get, we do have a shiny hunting video for Appleton on the channel. You can check this out. I'll link it in the top right hand corner for you. Even if you don't hunt the shiny, it is a really easy way for you to get one in your game. So then you can train it up and take it into these raids. So the first Pokemon that we're going to feature is the Laurentus. Laurentus is a Pokemon that you've used in previous 7-star turret events and it is coming back for this one. We have got the item, the Shellbell. Make sure that it's terra-typing is grass and then a move set of Synthesis, Sunny Day, Solar Beam and a Leaf Stone. The most important thing for this set is going to be that contra-ability. So anytime you take attack drops or defense drops, it will actually give you attack boosts and defense boosts. So when you use something like Leaf Stone that drops your special attack by two stages, it'll actually boost your special attack by two stages. So essentially kind of setting you up while you're attacking, making you stronger every turn. That's the premise of this. You want to just go into the raid and you're going to just use Leaf Stone over and over and over again. Tell the one turn where you do see the chest note, nullify your stats and abilities. Now don't use Leaf Stone this turn. Make sure on that turn you use something like Synthesis. You could set up the Sun as well for a Solar Beam later on in the match. Once that turn is ended, though your ability will be intact again and then you can use the Leaf Storms to boost your attacks up. It's likely chest note will nullify your abilities and your stats twice through this entire raid, but you're going to be able to just use the Leaf Storm. Like eight Leaf Storms is going to be enough to beat this chest note pretty easily and you don't really have to worry about getting knocked out. Because of the EV spread on this Laurentis, we have got 252 HP, 252 special attack. You could go a bit more in depth and go for the 252 in defense just to make sure you take those physical attacks a little bit better, but 252 HP is super fine with a modest nature on it. So that is the Laurentis, a really solid build and up there with the Appleton and a very quick way to get rid of the chest note and farm it for those items. The next Pokemon we're going to feature is Corridon. It is going to have the Black Belt held item that will give you a boost to fighting type attacks. We're going to have the fighting Terrotype on there as well and a move set of Sword Stance, Screech, Bulkup and Drain Punch. So the basic premise of this move set is going to be to Screech three times because you're going to be able to get those off. You probably don't want to go for the Sword Stances straight away. You want to go for those Drain Punches. Maybe get a couple of Drain Punches off. It'll set the shield up, it'll nullify your stats and abilities on your side of the field. After that, you're going to be free to go for those Sword Stances. So then just get three Sword Stances up, you max out your attack and then start using those Drain Punches to cut through. If it does nullify your stats and abilities again, just go for another three Sword Stances and by that point, you'll be able to terastalize and you're going to make easy, quick work of this chest note with the Choreodon. The EV spread that we've got on this just so you're able to take attacks a little bit better and maximize that offensive pressure is 252 in attack and then 252 in defense with an Adam in nature. So that is the Choreodon there with the Black Belt. You can swap that out for an Expert Belt if it's easier but the Black Belt and the Expert Belt kind of give you the same thing. And the final Pokemon that we're going to feature in today's video is going to be Meowscorodon. Now it is a grass and dark typing. So it is going to be weak to that hammer arm that the chest note does have access to but we do have a way around that and kind of nullifying that straight away into the battle. Make sure that your terror typing is grass and we are having the held item of the Expert Belt. The move set is going to be Fake Tears, Nasty Plot Charm and Gigadrine. We have the Protein ability on this Meowscorodon. Now that is quite important. It's not necessary, you don't need it but it does make it a bit easier and then we have an EV spread of 252 Special Attack, 252 Defense, the Rest Put on HP and then a Modest Nature as well. So Meowscorodon, a really quick one to do this raid with and what we'll do is we'll go in and I'll show you exactly how we can do it with this Meowscorodon and the way that you can set this up. So I've give you a number of options in this video today because I do feel like I want to kind of make it more accessible to everyone. So they've got a nice number of options that they can pick from so they can go out and form these raids because they're so good for level of candies, for Terror Shards and those high cost items that you can just sell after you've beat the raid. So if you do the raid over and over and over again, it does allow you to kind of acquire a lot of really good items that are useful for future builds and things like that and anything that you want to do in the game. So turn one, we come into the raid. Of course, we know that the chest note is going to set up the Iron Defense turn one. That's super fine. The first thing that we want to do with the Meowscorodon because like I've mentioned, it has got that part Dark Typing. So it is going to be weak to the Hammer Arms. We want to get rid of that Dark Typing. So that's why for turn one, we tick down and kind of turn on our turns before we can Thraslize. But we go for that Giga Drain just to give us that pure Grass Typing. That's going to make it a little bit easier to go into the rest of this raid. You can see the Hammer Arm does come out. It does do a good considerable amount of damage. But the next turn, we're in a good spot where we can just go for these Charms. And Chom reduces the attack stat on the chest note by two stages every time you use it. So you want to use three of these and that'll be the attack stat of the chest note for the remainder of this battle. It might use a bulk up. It's some point throughout the battle, but I mean, it's going to just take it from minus five, minus six to minus five. So you don't really need to worry about that too much. And if you've got a partner that has got something like Intimidate and you've got an Oblivior as well, it really does speed up the process of this whole battle as well. We get pretty lucky here where it is paralyzed. But I mean, we'll see probably this turn, how much the Hammer Arm is going to do after it is minus six. Stone Edge is one thing to watch out for, of course, as well, because it does have that high crit rate. But as long as it doesn't crit, you're not too worried. Now, after you've got the Charms off, you want to go for those fake tears. So that'll reduce the special defense on the chest note by two stages. So you want to use three of those. Get those off before the shield goes up. If you're in a point where your health is like pretty low or you need some health back at a toll at any point, you can always go for the Gigadrain. But try and get your fake tears off before you do any of that. Because once you do a good considerable amount of damage to the chest note in this raid, it will put the shield up and then you'll not be able to use the fake tears anymore now. You see, we do get a little bit unfortunate there with the critical hit from the Stone Edge, which is a bit unfortunate, but we have managed to get at least two fake tears off. So it is going to be minus four special defense. They're not ideal, but it doesn't matter. We do see the stat nullified and ability screen pop up there. So we know we're safe to go for those nasty plots. Now we enter the field. So the first thing, again, when you come back onto the field is you're going to want to activate that protein ability. So because we've got that dog typing back, so don't forget about that. It is charmed. So it isn't going to be doing too much damage, but that is the one thing that you want to do. If you do get knocked out, make sure that you do activate that protein ability. And by doing it as well, like I said, is just ticking down the turns until you can terastalize as well. So that is a big thing just to keep in mind when you're going into these raids. See the hammer armor is doing like literally nothing there. So now we're in a good spot. We can just start going for those nasty plots. And like I say, you want to get three of these nasty plots up and maximize your attack stat. The chest note not in a good position right now to really threaten you at all. And the time is still in the pretty healthy space. If you didn't get that critical hit with the Stone Edge, we would have been in a much better position. The time would have been a lot healthier, but it's not anything to really worry about too much right now. And after one more gigadrain, we'll be able to terastalize. And then we should be able to clean this up pretty quickly. And that is our third and final nasty plot. We might see the chest note nullify abilities once more, but we should be able to get at least a couple of attacks off before it does anything. You can see how well we're taking the attacks after we kind of combine that with the charm. So this is just an alternative option for you if you don't have something like Laurenti so you don't have something like the Appleton. A lot of you may have chosen Miao Scorada as your starter Pokemon. So you'd be able to kind of utilize this pretty easily and make the build to kind of come in and just rinse through the chest note pretty easily in your game. Like I said, I think we've been a bit unfortunate with the chest note and some of the RNG in this battle, but to be honest, we're sitting in a good spot right now so we can terastalize, like I say, and we're gonna be able to kind of just beat this pretty easily. And there we go. Let's see what the damage is like. It should break the shield on this chest note, doing huge damage there. So setting it up to get taken down the next turn. And like I say, the timer is in a really good position right now where we're not really in any worry at all. We're all set up as stats do get nullified here, which is a little bit of a shame, but we can go for that fake tears once again and put it down to minus six and then just go for a giga drain. And this is the final giga drain that we need and this should be enough. And that is as easy as you can get with the Meow's Garada, probably not as quick as the Appleton or the Laurentus, but still such a good strategy to use going into this raid. And the ability to kind of use that protein ability to take away your dark typing makes it pretty easily. Like if you go for the overgrow ability, you're gonna have to worry about the hammer armor. It's still gonna be super effective every time you use it until you do terastalize. So just utilizing the protein, that turn one with the giga drain, it ticks down the time that you need before you can terastalize as well getting rid of that weakness. So it's a nice, easy way to do it. And if you like me and you wanna farm this raid for these high cost items after you've beat the raid because you'll have to wait 24 hours in game before another terror raid event will appear on your map, you can skip this step by just getting one straight away by just coming into your map, go to your home menu, then down into system settings, then down into system, date and time. Make sure you synchronize clock by the internet is off, come down into date and time. Don't change anything here, just click through like this, click okay, then come back into your home menu and back into the game and you'll see all your dens will respawn and you'll be able to kind of locate the seven star terror raid event. Again, wherever it is, there it is and just head over to it and just farm away until you've got as many of the items as you want. That is everything for today's video friends.
