You will need the following Pokemon for this OHKO strategy against the 7-star Hisuian Samurott Tera Raid in Scarlet and Violet:

• Grimmsnarl for Fake Tears support
• Chi-Yu for Beards of Ruin support
• Stonjourner for Power Spot support
• Miraidon for the nuking blow with Electro Drift

---

Purpose of Grimmsnarl in this team

First, let us look at Grimmsnarl’s attributes:

• Type: Dark and Fairy
• Nature: You can use any nature in this monster
• EV Spread: You can use any EV Spread you like for this monster
• Held Item: Focus Sash
• Moveset: Fake Tears

Fake Tears on Grimmsnarl helps bring down Hisuian Samurott’s Special Defense by two stages. This will make Miraidon more effective with Electro Drift for the one-hit knockout (OHKO) in this Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid.

Purpose of Chi-Yu in this team

Here's a look at Chi-Yu’s attributes:

• Type: Dark and Fire
• Nature: You can use any nature on this creature
• EV Spread: You can use any EV Spread
• Held Item: Focus Sash
• Ability: Breads of Ruin
• Moveset: You can use any moveset

Like Fake Tears on Grimmsnarl, Breads of Ruin further decreases Hisuian Samurott’s Special Defense. It will then use Go All Out! Cheer to increase the effectiveness of Miraidon’s Electro Drift.

Purpose of Stonjourner in this team

Stonjourner’s attributes:

• Type: Electric and Dragon
• Nature: Modest. This will increase the Special Attack.
• EV Spread: HP: 252, Defense: 4, and Special Attack: 252
• Held Item: Weakness Policy
• Ability: Hadron Engine
• Moveset: Electro Drift

Power Spot will increase Miraidon’s damage output by 30%. It will also increase its Special Attack by two stages.

Miraidon will OHKO Hisuian Samurott with Electro Drift

First, let us look at Miraidon’s attributes:

• Type: Rock
• Nature: Like the previous monsters, you can use any nature on this as well.
• EV Spread: The same applies for the EV Spread
• Held Item: Focus Sash
• Ability: Power Spot
• Moveset: Earth Power

Hadron Engine will boost Miraidon’s Special Attack. Furthermore, Electro Drift gets a 30% boost when used against Raid Bosses that are weak to Electric-type moves.

As a result, it is an excellent monster to use against Hisuian Samurott. The 252 EV Spread on the Special Attack further ensures an OHKO on this 7-star Tera Raid Boss in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet without failure.
