Best build to solo defeat Blissey in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 5-Star Tera Raid

Blissey will have the following attributes in the 5-Star Tera Raid:

• Level: 75
• Tera Type: Random
• Hidden Ability: Possible
• Moves: Heat Pulse, Seismic Toss, Last Resort, and Soft-Boiled

You might have to take on this raid alone if you do not have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. But you do not have anything to worry about, as you can easily beat this creature if you follow our guide to the T.

To solo this raid, you can use Ceruledge as a Physical Attacker.

Best moves to use on this build:

• Swords Dance
• Bitter Blade
• Sunny Day
• Solar Blade

Held Item: Shell Bell

Use Swords Dance three times in the first three turns at the beginning of the raid to maximize Ceruledge's Attack stat. After using Sunny Day on your fourth turn, Harsh Sunlight will be summoned to strengthen your Fire-type attacks, thus effectively giving you a Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) boost.

Allowing Ceruledge to retain Shell Bell will let it regain HP, which will build on the healing effects of Bitter Blade. Using Solar Blade in the sun will also eliminate the charge time.

Terastallize Ceruledge when you get the option. Using Solar Blade after that will allow you to deal much damage on Blissey in this Tera Raid of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. We estimate that it will take 8–9 turns to solo 5-Star Blissey using this tactic.

Best build to solo defeat Grimmsnarl in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 5-Star Tera Raid

Grimmsnarl will have the following attributes in the 5-Star Tera Raid:

• Level: 75
• Tera Type: Random
• Hidden Ability: Possible
• Moves: Spirit Break, False Surrender, Play Rough, and Light Screen
• Additional moves: Bulk Up and Reflect

To solo this raid, you can use Hariyama as a Physical Attacker.

Best moves to use on this build:

• Brick Break
• Belly Drum
• Headlong Rush
• Drain Punch

Held Item: Figy Berry

During the initial rounds, the aim will be to use Belly Drum and maximize your Attack stat on Hariyama. Grimmsnarl will use moves like Spirit Break to do Super Effective damage on Hariyama, but thanks to the Held Item, which is Figy Berry in this case, your creature will restore its HP.

You can then use Drain Punch to eat a big chunk of Grimmsnarl's HP. You can expect this Pokemon to use Reflect around this point, so be ready with Brick Break to eliminate this move. Grimmsnarl will look to use Spirit Break on Hariyama, and it will do a lot of damage.

As soon as this happens, Terastallize your beast and use Drain Punch. This will almost close the raid as you can spam a few more Brick Breaks and Drain Punches to knock out Grimmsnarl in this 5-Star Tera Raid of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

You will get the following rewards for defeating Grimmsnarl in this 5-Star Tera Raid of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet:

• Experience L Candy
• Experience XL Candy
• 2x HP Up
• 2x Iron

Best build to solo defeat Hatterene in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 5-Star Tera Raid

Hatterene will have the following attributes in the 5-Star Tera Raid:

• Level: 75
• Tera Type: Random
• Hidden Ability: Possible
• Moves: Mystical Fire, Psychic, Disarming Voice, and Dark Pulse
• Additional moves: Psychic Terrain and Calm Mind

To solo this raid, you can use Koraidon as a Physical Attacker.

Best moves to use on this build:

• Screech
• Swords Dance
• Collision Course
• Outrage

Held Item: Life Orb

It would be best to use Screech to drop Hatterene's Defense in the initial turns. As soon as that happens, it would be best to rely on Koraidon's Swords Dance to drop the raid boss's HP as much as possible. Be careful of the Psychic moves from Hatterene, as they will be Super Effective against Koraidon.

When the Hatterene's HP is at 75%, you must use Outrage to eliminate it from the battle.
