 The 7 star terror raid event for Delphox has finally been announced for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. We're going to go over all the details on what to expect from this raid as well as the best builds to help you prepare for beating this thing solo in your game. So as we know later this week the 7 star terror raid event for Delphox will be coming to Scarlet and Violet. It'll be the first time I'll have access to this exclusive Pokemon in the games and with it comes a big challenge because the Delphox as we know is going to be a fairy terror type when it arrives in Scarlet and Violet later this week. It's going to be week 2 moves like steel type attacks like poison type attacks and it will have resists to things like dragon it's got an immunity to that and it's going to be resistant to dark and fighting type attacks so just keep those things in mind when you're going into this raid if you're putting your own builds together. We can take a quick look at all of the details on what to expect from Delphox. It is of course going to be level 100 and it is going to have that fairy terror typing it's likely like other 7 star terror raids to have its hidden ability which for Delphox is the magician ability. So for those of you that don't know how magician works if Delphox hasn't got a held item which it's likely not gonna have and it uses an attack into a Pokemon that has a held item like yourself it will actually activate the ability and that held item will be stolen and then Delphox will get it. This can be pretty problematic when we have such a reliance on held items in these 7 star raid events so we're going to have to look at other measures for recovery in particular because a lot of Pokemon rely on things like a shell bell to get that recovery so they've got the longevity to get the attacks off in the battle that they need so your timer isn't affected once you get knocked out without the shell bell that becomes a bit more difficult so we are going to address that with some of the specific builds that we go over in today's video but Delphox is a pretty speedy Pokemon as well with a base 104 speed stats so it is going to outspeed the majority of things when in the raid if you can get something that's faster than it then that will obviously help it is going to have a HP multiplier of 30 because it is a 7 star raid so it's going to be sitting on around 8,730 hit points that's what you're going to have to do to remove it from the field and then if we move over to its move options it's got things like over heat heat wave from its base fire typing as well as psychic and Psy shock that play off that psychic typing that it has got access to other moves that you're going to look at especially because it is that fairy terror typing it has got access to dazzling gleam so that is going to be boosted with the terror typing there has got access to solar beam as well as well as shadow ball hyper voice stored power and fire plate it also gets options like mud slap but i didn't really put it down as necessary in this it does make sense to have mud slap in there potentially as a coverage move for steel types in particular but you do have that fire typing there's a lot better time with over the mud slap now the set of options that del fox does have access to it does get sunny day that's going to boost the fire type attacks that it has got access to like your over heat your heat waves your flame throws if we see that there and it also means that solar beam can be a one turn move rather than the charge turn without the sun on the field it does get access to charm as well so that's something that it can potentially use it is a fairy type attack as well so it's likely it it's likely that we do see that on there and that reduces the attacks that on it reduces the attacks that on targets by two stages so if it has got charm i think it changes the dynamic of some of the options that we could bring into this raid potentially and then an eyelid i think with that the fine ability feels like a really good option going into this raid king gamut not so much because it's so threatened by those big fire type attacks that are going to be there on the del fox it does get access to nasty plots that has a way to boost its own special attack and become pretty threatening very quickly as well as calm mind which isn't as quick a setup as nasty plot but it does boost the special defense as well as the special attack every turn that it uses it then it gets access to psychic terrain that's going to boost its psychic type attacks in particular that psychic and side shock and this could be tricky on picking pokemon and ev and them for del fox because if we see something like side shock it's not like psychic that hits on that special defensive side side shock actually takes its calculation damage from the defensive stat of the pokemon even though it is coming off the special attacking side from del fox if that makes sense so you have to kind of adjust evs if that is there but hopefully it's not and it just has psychic or something like stored power to play off the boosting moves that it's got access to and then the final move that we have listed here that it could potentially using is magic room as well so magic room works for five turns once it's set up and nullifies all of the effects for held items on the field so again a little bit like the magician ability that's going to disrupt our held items magic room if that is something on del fox which you could see it's kind of like a magician pokemon it is going to have those signature kind of moves and magic room being one of them you could see things like shell bar be totally ineffective here and that's why I say when we go into the builds these things are kept in mind for how and what we expect to see the del fox using with all of that information out the way this is what the expected set I see the del fox to run going into this raid we were very close with our intelion guests with the mist and obviously the blizzard and the hydro pump and things like that so hopefully we're close with the del fox as well I think it will have overheat it's its most powerful fire type attack it does get the detrimental side of it where it can reduce its special attack by two stages every time it uses it but it's gonna have the option to remove those stat drops at any time it won't so you could see a similar situation playing out with this like we saw with the charizard where it uses it turn zero and then nullifies all stat boosts straight away to kind of get that clean slate going into turn one I think it's gonna have a psychic type attack I would say it's between psychic and side shock the curveball here would be that side shock that plays off the defensive stat instead of the special defensive stat like psychic does it's a no brainer it's gonna have dazzling gleam because of fairy terra typing it's it's only fairy stab move so either that or terra blast could be options but I would say dazzling gleam makes more sense for this one and then it's between for me at least solar beam and hex now it depends if we see either sunny day or willow isp as supporting options here if we see the sunny day it make more sense to have the solar beam because then it's benefiting both the solar beam and the overheat and the willow isp could benefit the hex where it gets double damage and it is a ghost type move that gives you ghost type coverage I think the willow isp doesn't give the defiant users a boost like charm does but charm definitely feels like something we might see going into this raid magic room is another option that I do see on it and I 100% think it's going to have nasty plot to become pretty threatening very quickly with those plus two setup options there and it kind of complements the overheat as well if it does go for overheat gets a drop it can just nasty plot and remove those drops the next turn so between the two there they've got really nice synergy so this is what I expect the del fox to look like when it goes live we'll have to wait and see though but this is the information I've kind of gathered from what it can learn in game and taking that into the builds that we'll be showing you and now jumping into game we've got five builds we're going to feature today the first one we're going to start off with is slalking I feel like slalking is the better option out of that and slow bro because slalking has a slightly higher special defense and del fox is predominantly going to be a special attacking pokemon so you want that higher special defense where possible slalking fits the build here it is water and it is psychic so it's going to resist the psychic type attacks that are going to come up from del fox and it's going to resist the fire type attacks with the water typing so it's a really nice pokemon to bring into this raid I think the only things you're going to have to worry about if the del fox has coverage for are going to be things like the solar beam and then that any ghost type coverage like hex or shadow ball they could be a little bit problematic but otherwise slalking going to be a really nice option going into this raid now we've given the leftovers so it's got a little bit of recovery when it needs to but it's not relying on it if that magician ability procs and it gets stolen you don't mind that too much and it also if magic room gets used as well leftovers is something that we can kind of forget about but if we've got it then it is just a bonus for us the move set that we've got for this slalking is going to be slack off amnesia nasty plot and stored power the slack off is there for recovery when we need it with pp maxed it out as well just make sure that you do that amnesia is there so we can boost our special defensive stat that is going to give us a boost of two stages every time you use it so we only need to use three to max our special defense stat out make taking any even super effective attacks from the delt fox really easy then we've got nasty plot we know the role with that that's going to boost our special attack by two stages every time we use it so that isn't going to be another three and then we're going to be set up ready to use our stored power now it's not going to hit the delt fox with super effective damage but coming off stab and it's going to be hitting into the delt fox for neutral it's going to still be doing a lot of damage the ev spread that we've got on this slalking is going to be 252 hp 252 special defense and the four remaining put in special attack with a modest nature so that is the slalking i feel like a really consistent build going into this one and one that will do good work we know how good slowbrow is into the previous seven star raids and i think depending on a few move selections that the delt fox could have i feel like slalking is going to be something you're going to be able to build and have a good amount of confidence going into this raid with then you're going to be able to deal with it pretty easily the next build that we've got featured for this raid is going to be serral edge and serral edge obviously going to have that fire and ghost typing but the terror typing on this serral edge is going to be steel because we're going to be taking advantage of that steel type weakness that the fairy type delt fox will have it's not going to be threatened either when we do terrestrialize by any of the fire type attacks because we've got that flash fire ability on it so that is going to give us that complete immunity and also give us a resist to the psychic type attacks as well as the fairy type attacks when we do terrestrialize so all in all a really solid choice going into this raid we've given the option of a shell bell item so we've got that line of recovery but not super reliant on it either because we've got so many resistances especially after we terrestrialize with the serral edge now the move set that we've gone for here is sword stance we've got clear smog iron head and bitter blade the ev spread that we've got is 252 hp 252 attack with an adamant nature and like i've already mentioned the ability is flash fire here now the bitter blade gives us a line of recovery into the delt fox it's not super effective but it does give us a way to get some recovery throughout the battle when we are playing with it the sword stance is there to boost our attack by two stages every time we use it so we can use it three times to boost our attack stat clear smog is a really nice option because it will remove any stack boosts on the delt fox side of the field so if it has got that nasty plot you're going to be able to use clear smog even through a shield and remove any of those stat boosts that delt fox has so it's not as threatening going into the next turns and then iron head is there for when you are terrestrialize you've got that steel terra typing active and you can just do super effective damage to this delt fox with a plus six attack and remove it from the field pretty easily and i think the serral edge really is one of the nicer picks going into this raid this week next pokemon is going to be armor rouge the brethren of serral edge and going to have that psychic terra typing on this one we're going to have the shell bell as the held item the move set is going to be psychic terrain acid spray calm mind and expanding force with an eevee spread of 252 special attack 252 special defense and the flash fire ability again giving it complete immunity to any fire type attacks as well coming out from the delt fox with the psychic typing as well it's going to have a resistance to the psychic type attacks coming out from the delt fox and with the special defensive investment and calm mind on top of that you're not going to worry too much about the fairy type attacks or any other coverage that's got like ghost type attacks that could be potentially threatening once you've got these acid sprays off you're going to be in a good position to terrestrialize pretty quickly after this point you want to try and get a couple of calm minds up get the psychic terrain active and then the expanding force in the psychic terrain with those boosts and the special defense drops on the delt fox after the acid sprays you're going to be doing some huge damage to it honestly and with the shell bell item you have got a line of recovery there you will get a little bit more punished with the magician ability and the magic room if we do see it there because you don't have really any line of recovery outside of the shell bell so that's one of the drawbacks with this set if we do see those options on the delt fox but again uh you're going to have your heal cheers that you can take advantage of but again a really nice build and i think the the armor rouge is a nice option and it's an there's an option there for both violet players and scarlet players with both of these pokemon being exclusive pokemon to each version and the next pokemon that we're going to feature in today's video is going to be arcanine i feel like another really good option it's an alternative option to the serral edge and the armor rouge because it does also get access to that flash fire ability and i feel like it could do a decent job into the delt fox we obviously have got that steel terra typing that's probably the most important thing for this particular build and we've got that shell bell item as well so we've got a line of recovery when we need it but it's not massively necessary because we do have a move set of morning sun that is an egg move so you're going to have to teach that to arcanine find something with morning sun in your boxes put a mirror herb item on the arcanine and then set up a picnic with the morning sun pokemon and the arcanine in your party and the move will be transferred over to the arcanine it's pretty easy you don't need to breed it down necessarily but you can do that as well of course if you'd like to then we've got howl that is going to boost our attack stat every time you use it we've got snarl as well that's going to reduce the special attack stat on the delt fox every time we use it so if it does have nasty plot then we've got a way to kind of negate that by reducing those boosts down by one stage every time we use it and then the big attacking option on the arcanine is going to play off that steel terra typing that we've got and it's going to be iron head and like i say we've got the ability flash fire there so when we do to our slides we don't have that weakness to fire type attacks and we have the resistance to fairy and we also have the resist to the psychic type attacks as well the ev spread that we've got in the arcanine is pretty straightforward just 252 hp 252 attack in adamant nature and the rest put in special defense and that is everything that you need to know for the arcanine pretty much you're just going to rely on the morning sun for recovery when you need it if the sunny days set up by the delt fox that's a bonus for you because you've got the flash fire you don't worry about the big fire type attacks that are going to come off from that and it will mean that you get a full health recovery with the morning sun every time you use it you might want a pp max morning sun out so you've got a really good consistent line of recovery when you need to use it if you need to call on it but the steel terra typing is the big important thing to make sure that you've got on this arcanine going into it just so you've got more damage output when you do use the iron head after you trust lance and the final pokemon that we're mentioning in today's video how could i do a video about flash fire users and not include houndoom now it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea going into this raid but i do feel like houndoom has a place going in again to delt fox that it has got flash fire ability and it has got the dark typing so it is going to resist the psychic type attacks and it only going to take neutral damage from the fairy type attacks so because of that fire typing that resists the fairy with the dark typing that's weak you kind of just take neutral damage of course you're not going to take too much damage with the houndoom but the shell bell as the item on there for a line of recovery like we normally do it's important to have the fire type terra typing because you want to resist the fairy type attacks once you do terastalize you are then going to be more susceptible to things like psychic type attacks but again you're going to resist the big fire type attacks anyway with that flash fire ability that we've got on here the move set that we've got for the houndoom is going to be taunt nasty plot snarl and flamethrower with an ev spread of 252 special attack and 252 special defense with the rest put in hp the basic premise is to try and shut down the delt fox if it does try to set up anything early on you've got the taunt you can stop at setting up moves like magic room you can stop at setting up things like nasty plots or sunny days or anything along those lines so that's a really useful thing to support you and your partner in pokemon nasty plot is there to boost your special attack up you only need to use it three times to max that out and then you can fire off flamethrowers as well as utilizing the snarl which is there to reduce the special attacking stat on the delt fox a really nice kind of all rounds supporting option i think houndoom gives you rather than just a flat out good attacking pokemon that's going to be able to solo this really quickly i think things like the serra ledger the armor ocean the arcanine are probably your best options for that with the slot game probably being the most consistent option out of everything that we've got here so they are all of the builds that we're going to feature in today's video of course as always the builds will be down in the description below if you'd like to take a closer look at those in your own time but that is everything and i think with these builds going into this terrarium you're going to have a pretty nice time going into it with any of these honestly i feel like they'll all do a really good job going in and soloing the delt fox in game or even taking them online to do online with the the the resistances that they've got in the builds and specific things that you can do to set up against the delt fox it's going to make it pretty easy but let me know down in the comment section below what you are thinking about bringing into this delt fox raid and of course when the event goes live itself we'll go live with the video after doing some testing and show you the best solo pokemon to go into this raid with so keep an eye on that if you
