How to prepare for seven-star Blaziken Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Understanding Blaziken’s strategy in this 7-star Tera Raid is very important. Firstly, Blaziken hits very hard with both Physical and Special Attacking moves. However, in these Tera Raids, this flying chicken will resort to Physical attacks.
When it comes to defense, Unrivaled Blaziken is comparatively frail to what we are used to facing in 7-star Tera Raids. So, you will be able to do a lot of damage to this raid boss.
That said, the Hidden Ability, Speed Boost, will increase Blaziken’s speed stat with every turn, making it faster than all of your Pokemon.
This brings Trick Room into play. When this move is active, slower Pokemon will get leverage over the faster ones on the battlefield for five turns.
