 Hello friends, welcome back to the channel. In today's video, we're going to look at some more best builds to prepare for the brand new Seven Star Terrarid event. For Rillaboom, they'll be dropping next week in Scarlet and Violet. Starting on the 28th of July, the Rillaboom Seven Star Terrarid will be coming to Scarlet and Violet, we know, will be in normal territory. And it's likely to have the move options like Wood Hammer, Stomping Tantrum as ground coverage. You could potentially have knockoff, dark coverage, a flying type coverage in acrobatics, and fighting type coverage as well with either drain punch or more likely hammer arm. And then it will have some sort of normal type attack to play off that normal teratiping. Now that could be special, it could play off boom burst. It would make sense for the drama Pokemon to have something like a sound based move like boom burst. That is a completely different throw off to normally going down a physical route. Whereas the options there would be something like the facade, body slam, or even something like Giga Impact, which are its main options. It does have set up options, of course, and things like sword stance, bulk up. It does have disruption in Screacher Loyal Defense by two stages every time it uses it. So that's something to consider taunt it does get access to. And then another combination that it could see is something like Sunny Day and then growth as well. Because the sunny day will turn growth into a one stage attack and special attack boost into a two stage attack and special attack boost under the sun. So that could be something that we do see as well, making Rillaboom quite formidable. At the base of things, Rillaboom is a very, very strong defensive Pokemon. It's going to be hard to break it down. It's got big HP stat and very good defenses. So it's going to be something that you're going to need to have combinations for to really deal with effectively in the game. Although we did cover predominantly a lot of fighting types in our last video, we did cover three Pokemon that weren't of a fighting type that did offer a little bit of a different strategy for going in against Rillaboom. But of course, it's going to come down to a lot of factors when that Rillaboom raid does get announced. These can change some of the builds, of course, depending on when Rillaboom clears the stats on your side of the field, when it clears the stats on its side of the field and when it puts a shield up as well as what options it has in its move pool. Is it going to have fighting coverage? Is it going to have that flying coverage with acrobatics? Is it going to have ground coverage? All of these different options throw up different questions for what Pokemon would be more suitable to the raids. And of course, when the raid does go live, we'll be able to kind of hone down these options a lot better and produce what Pokemon can solo this thing more effectively in battle as well as what Pokemon are going to be able to go online and really perform very well if you are doing it online. So the Pokemon that we are featuring in today's video, all the builds will be down in the description if you want to take a look at them, but we'll be starting off with Covenite. I think one of the best options going in against Rillaboom, despite the build, despite how it comes into the raid, and you're going to have the tools with the Covenite to really handle it pretty well. It's going to resist all of those grass type attacks. It's going to resist the ground type attacks. If it has ground type coverage, it's going to resist the flying type attacks if it has acrobatics and it will also be neutral to those fighting type attacks that it could potentially have. So all in all, Covenite, a very solid pick going into Rillaboom. We have chose the fighting terror type on it and you'll see why in a moment we've got the leftovers option on there as an item. It can be changed for something like an expert belt, a shell belt item if you want. But I feel like the leftovers gives you that nice recovery each turn just to kind of keep your staying part on the field. There's level 100 as always and we have a move set of Roost, Eye and Defense, Screech and Body Press. It is one of the only and few Pokemon that we've got access to in the games where you're able to have that combination of Screech, Eye and Defense and Body Press and not have the weaknesses to grass or ground type attacks that are likely going to come out from this Rillaboom. The nice thing about Covenite as well is it has that ability, Mirror Armor. So any status attacks that come out from the Rillaboom like Screech or something like that will be bounced back onto the Rillaboom and it will be affected and you won't be affected by it so it's a really nice ability overall. And I think the combination of having that Roost with the setup as well means that you're going to be able to stay on the field setup and even if you do get your stats removed early on in the battle you're still going to be able to kind of have a clean setup and then start throwing out some big damage very quickly onto the Rillaboom. So how Body Press works is the damage isn't calculated off your attack stat it's actually calculated off your defense stat. So using this in combination with Iron Defense where you're boosting your defense it's making Body Press even stronger. So that's the stat that the power is based off from Body Press. The EV Spread that we've got on this Covenite is 252 HP, 252 Defense and of course as well with that Steel Typing you're not going to really worry about any normal type attack and moves that come out from the Rillaboom either. So you can fully invest in defense and then at HP with a bold nature on there as well. So this is the basic premise of the set you're going to set up those three Iron Defenses from turns 1 to 3 then go for those Screeches turns 4 to 6 and then you're going to start launching off the Body Presses and Roosting as and when you need that recovery. So that is the Covenite and I do feel like probably the best option if you wanting to build something going into this raid that's going to give you a very solid option whatever the build of the Rillaboom when it is finally released on the 20th of July. Next up we've got Glastria the Ice Type Legendary Pokémon from Pokemon Sword and Shield. It is pure Ice. We've given it the Fighting Terra Type and the Shell Bell is the held item. Level 100 and a little bit like the Covenite of course. We have got a move set of Mist that is going to stop any stat drops on your side of the field for 5 turns as long as that Mist is in effect. So if we do see something like Screech or anything else like Drum Beating, Law and your Speed or anything like that then Mist is going to protect you and your ally Pokemon for 5 turns as long as it's in effect. Then we've got Iron Defense. It is again going to boost your defense by 2 stages every time you use it. Tail Whip is a way to reduce the defense on the Rillaboom side of the field. It won't work through the Shield though. So as soon as that Shield goes up you don't rely on the Tail Whip. You'll have to wait till that Shield is broke but then you can use that in combination with the Iron Defense and then Body Press Combination that we talked about with that Covenite. So we're playing along those same lines here. Chilling Rain is the ability you only have that option and it's not really going to come into effect in this raid at all unless you want to start knocking out Partnering Pokemon which could be an option to boost your attack. But again, that's not really going to benefit you at all because your main attacking move plays off your defensive stat rather than your attacking stat. We've got an EV spread on this Glastria of 252 HP, 252 defense and then we have the remaining put in the special defense with a calm nature. So you think you're probably asking why we went for a calm nature over a bold nature and if we don't see something like Boom Burst on the Rillaboom then change this over to bold and just have that full defensive investment there just to maximize the damage output that you're doing with Body Press as well as minimize the damage you're taking from Rillaboom. But the calm nature on here is to really cover in case we do see that Boom Burst. So you've got a decent amount of special defensive investment with that boost that you're getting through the nature there because you've already got such a high defensive stat. So like I say, if we don't see any Boom Burst I would suggest going bold on this. If you do see Boom Burst then I would stay with the set that we've got here in that calm nature because we're only relying on a defensive stat anyway but that spread investment that we've got on our defenses just gives you a bit more stability in case we do see something like Boom Burst come out from the Rillaboom but that is the Glastria and again a really nice option. I think because it has an ability to lower the defense on the Rillaboom it gives it a different dimension. It's going to expedite the damage that you're going to be able to do once you are set up that some of the other options in this video don't have and it's a bit like the Corviknight. Just not as quick with that screech over the tail whip that you've got the option there. Next up is Talk All the Fire Type with a fighting Terra Type. Level 100 it is going to have their Shell Bell as its held item and it is a very unique Pokemon. It's very strong defensively so going up against the Rillaboom it's going to be very good. It's going to resist those Grass Type attacks as well and for the most part it's not really going to worry about any of the big physical attacking moves that are going to come out from the Rillaboom except for Stomping Tantrum. Of course when you do end up Terasolizing you're not going to have that weakness anymore and you will obtain a weakness to the Acrobatics but by that stage you should be set up and not need to worry about that big physical attack coming out and threatening you because you're going to be in such a good position where you're not really going to have to worry about it at all. If it has got Stomping Tantrum then one nice thing you would say about Talk All is it's naturally very good defensively so it still will be able to shrug those attacks off but with the setup that we've got on the Talk All once you start kind of getting that setup in motion you're not really going to be affected too much by even the more super effective attacks anyway. So the moveset that we've got on the Talk All is going to be Clear Smog, Iron Defense, Amnesia and Body Press. We've got the Ability White Smog which is going to stop the Rillaboom from lowering stats on your side of the field which is a big thing. So if it has got Screech it's a little bit like the Mirror Armor on the Coving Night except you don't bounce back those stat changes we just negate them all together. The White Smog going to give you complete immunity to any stat drops on your side of the field. We've got Clear Smog that is going to be able to remove any stat boosts on the Rillaboom and it works through the shield as well. So if we do see it going for Grails for Sword Stances for Bull Cups we are going to be able to use that Clear Smog at any stage in the battle and just remove any of those boosts. So it's really good for supporting Partner in Pokemon as well as just making sure that your Talk All nicely in a safe position. Eye and Defense is there. Obviously that combination with Body Press we've talked about on the Glastria the Coving Night, it works exactly the same. You're going to aim to get three of those off and then utilize Body Press because it is going to be maximized damage there and the Amnesia is there to give you a little bit of coverage if we do see something like that Boom Burst. If we don't see the Boom Burst then the Amnesia is not needed and we can replace that with something else of course on the set. The EV Spread that we've got in the Talk All is 252 HP, 252 Defense and the rest put in Special Defense with a calm nature and again the nature he is decided on just to give us coverage in case we do see that Boom Burst it gives us a little bit of stability against that potential Special Attack that could come out from the Rillaboom just in case it's there. If the Boom Burst is not the option then we want to just change that to a bold nature and put all of our eggs in that defensive basket because then will benefit us more for longevity on the field as well as being able to have a bit higher damage output from that Body Press as well but that is the Talk All I think a really nice option going into this raid and something that Ed could see having a good time no matter really what the Rillaboom set would be. The next Pokemon in this theme of Body Press users is going to be Goudra, the Steel and Dragon type. This is the Hissui in Goudra. We have got the Fighting Terror type on it of course as well with the Shell Bell held. I am level 100 as usual with a moveset of Shelter, Charm, Life Dew and Body Press and the Ability Sap Sipper with an EV spread of 252 HP, 252 Defense and a bold nature on here. So boosting that defensive stat because Goudra and Hissui in Goudra one of the things that they do have to their own benefit is a Sky High Special Defensive stat as well. This Hissui in Goudra if we do see any sort of special attack and moves come out from the Rillaboom it's going to be able to take those really well as well as resist them with that Steel typing that it does have access to. Normal type not effective against Steel typing. So the basic premise of this is Shelter is going to boost your defense by two stages so it's a bit like an iron defense and that just boosts the damage of Body Press. We've covered that before. Charm is there to support other team members and also yourself. The one thing that you would have to worry about with Hissui and Goudra being having that part Steel typing is again stomping tantrum could be a bit of an issue and although you are boosting your defensive stats if the Rillaboom has something like Sword Stance or even growth under the Sun you're going to want to kind of try and negate that as much as possible to kind of make sure that you're staying on the field so you can get your strategy pulled off and Charm allows you to do that lowering the attack stat on the Rillaboom by two stages every time you use it. Just bear in mind that you won't be able to use this through the shield. So that's one of the drawbacks and we are in this list going from what I think is the best suggestion in this video and that Covenite to the not so best suggestion but all of them I do feel will be able to work against this Rillaboom when it does go live. Lifeju is there to give you and your partnering Pokemon a quarter of health every time you use it. So it's a little bit of recovery there for you as well and combine that with the Shell Belt you should have a good line of recovery to keep Goudra on the field for as long as possible and especially once you're set up you're going to be in a really good place you're not going to be taking much damage from the Rillaboom and you just need to watch out for when it resets its stats and your stats as well. So we've covered Hissui and Goudra the other Goudra we are going to cover is the regular Goudra and just pure dragon typing fighting type, terra typing on it as well same item choice, same level and everything like that the one thing that it does have a disadvantage over the Hissui and Goudra is it doesn't have a weakness to stomp in tantrum so you don't have that ground weakness but you are going to be a little hit a little bit harder because you don't have that resistance to normal type attacks if we do see something like boom burst, body slam, facade or anything like that from the Rillaboom you will be taking just neutral damage from those attacks but the move set is going to be Acid Armor so a little bit like Shelter, a little bit like Iron Defense is going to boost your defensive stat by two stages every time you use it it's pretty much in essence the same set just different moves we've got the charm there again we've went through that the life due for recovery and then the body press to play off that Acid Armor and then with your terrazolization of fighting type you're going to just expedite the damage even more EV spread on this Goudra is going to be 252 HP 252 defense, bold nature and the rest put into special defense SAP SIPA is the ability again we didn't really talk about that too much with the Hissui and Goudra but SAP SIPA gives you complete immunity to all grass type attacks now you do have the part Dragon typing here but I guess it's going to benefit you more a little bit more when you do terrazolize into that fighting typing just to make sure that you're still not getting hit for big damage from those big grass type attacks it's going to come out from Rillaboom it's also going to be boosted from the grassy terrain that it will sum into the field for 5 turns so both Goudras here have that SAP SIPA ability both will resist it in their base forms but when you terrazolize that ability will really be very beneficial for you going forward and I think the Goudras are going to be good Pokémon to take online support fellow players online with the access to recovery for you and your teammates and that charm it is going to be something that can be utilized quite well of course keep in mind as well if you want you can also run acid spray to support partnering Pokémon if you're going online with Goudra because it gets access to that so you can learn the special defense of the Rillaboom two stages every time you use it and that can make going through these raids a lot quicker as well if you've got something where you're able to help it set up like a Lucario or something like that with a Roarosphere and you can reduce that special defense by two stages every time you use it it's going to be a very valuable member online as well as being able to kind of perform a solo roll it's just not got the ability to learn the defensive stat of the Rillaboom unlike some of the other options that we've got here which will mean it is going to be a little bit slower if you are going to dedicate it to be something that you take in to use as a solo Pokémon and finally the Pokémon I'm going to finish up with today is Zamazenta ledgering Pokémon from Sword and Shield fighting type, fighting Terra type on it as well we have given the Rusted Shield item which gives it its crown form when you do enter the battle and obviously with its ability Don't List Shield you get a defense boost as soon as you hit the field we've given the moveset of light screen the Iron Defense, Snarl and Body Press with an EV spread of 252 HP, 232 Defense and Rest Put in Special Defense with 8 Impish and Nature so light screens there in case we do see something like that boom burst you're going to have no resistance to it to begin with but when you are in your crown form you will be fighting and steal so you will have a resistance to it but it just gives you a little bit additional support the Iron Defense of course like we've said already boost your defense by two stages every time you use it Snarl as well is there again it's just another measure against those big special attacks that you could see coming out from the Rillaboom you don't have a way to clear the stat boost on the Rillaboom side of the field so just keep that special attack stat in check if we do see something like the boom burst then that is quite a nice option and that works through the shield as well and then you've got that Iron Defense and Body Press combination which is going to be very strong going into this raid because it is normal type so they are everything that we're going to cover in today's video and I do think the Covenite out of everything is probably the one thing that you can build of course when the raid does go live on the 28th we will go in and do a lot of testing and then we'll throw up what our best solo build options are going to be going into that weekend when the raid goes live but I hope you found today's video
