Steps to OHKO Dark Incineroar 7-star Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

To take down Dark Incineroar in a single hit, you must follow these steps:

• Step 1: Wait for the timer to come down to 90%. This is when the Taunt debuff will wear off.
• Step 2: This is effectively the first turn you play. Iron Hands uses the Attack Cheer, Alcremie uses Decorate with Iron Hands as the target, and the Umbreons use Screech.
• Step 3: Alcremie uses Helping Hand with Iron Hands as the target, and the Umbreons once again hit Incineroar with Screech. Click Close Combat on Iron Hands.

Three Screeches lowers Incineroar's Defense to -6, while Iron Hands' Attack is boosted by two stages (-1 from Incineroar's Intimidate, +2 from Decorate, and +1 from Helping Hand). Combine this with Choice Specs' 1.5x damage boost, and the Close Combat from Iron Hands deals between 13,368 - 15,728 points (115.3 - 135.7%) damage to Tera Dark Incineroar.

This much damage is enough to OHKO Dark Incineroar 7-star Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, who has 11,585 HP to its name.
