Summary
Hours afterPokemon Scarlet and Violetreleased Incineroar the Unrivaled as a Seven-star Tera Raid boss, a group of players created a video strategy for taking down the boss in a single hit. ThePokemon Scarlet and Violettrainers shared the video on social media and provided a written summary of the moves and abilities used to make their plan work.
Known as the Heel Pokemon, Incineroar first appeared inPokemon Sun and Moonas the final evolution of the Litten line. As a Fire and Dark dual-type Pokemon, Incineroar is considered one of the most useful critters in competitive battles due to its high attack power and versatility with its move set. AlthoughPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayershave other ways to obtain an Incineroar, the Seven-star Tera Raid version of the Heel Pokemon is currently available for players to have a straightforward shot at getting one. Incineroar the Unrivaled has the moves Snarl, Taunt, Earthquake, Bulk Up, Flare Blitz, Darkest Lariat, and Iron Head.
Withthe launch of the Incineroar Tera raid battles, somePokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers set to work developing ways to trounce it. A Reddit user named No-Pool-7850 posted a four-player strategy for taking down Incineroar the Unrivaled on the r/PokemonScarletViolet subreddit and shared a two-minute video that demonstrated the plan in motion. The team consisted of Medicham, Arbok, Urshifu, and Crabominable, all with maxed-out effort values (EVs) and held specific items to go with their role in the strategy. The team was made to defeat Incineroar in two turns, with the first turn used primarily for bringing down the boss Pokemon’s defenses and using Taunt early to prevent Incineroar from using its own Taunt and Bulk Up.

No-Pool-7850 stated that the strategy also required Incineroar to reset their team’s stat buffs early in the fight, so patience was required. On turn two, the plan was set in motion. Urshifu and Medicham used Wicked Blow and Skill Swap in succession to max out Crabominable’s attack power. Crabominable then used Close Combat to beat Incineroar with a single strike, since attacksfrom strong Fighting Pokemonare one of Incineroar’s weaknesses inPokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Although the original strategy had Crabominable hold a Choice Band, No-Pool-7850 clarified that a Life Orb would allowPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers to use Iron Defense on turn one and achieve the same results. With Incineroar now out in the wild, it remains to be seenwhich starters will be featured in future Tera raids.
