Best counters and strategies to solo Fire Skeledirge 7-star Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

The following are the best strategies for soloing Fire Skeledirge 7-star Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet:

1) Psychic Tera Blissy

Build

• Level: 100
• Tera type: Psychic
• Ability: Natural Cure
• Held Item: Twisted Spoon / Mind Plate
• Nature: Modest
• IVs: 31 in all categories
• EV Spread: 4 HP / 252 Def. / 252 Sp. Attack
• Moveset: Skill Swap, Soft-Boiled, Calm Mind, Stored Power

Strategy

• Turn 1: Use Skill Swap.
• Turn 2: Use Soft Boiled if you got hit by Flame Charge.
• Turns until raid timer hits 80%: Use Stored Power. At 80% time left, your stats will be reset. Therefore it's best to start boosting after this happens.
• Six turns after raid timer hits 80%: Use Calm Mind.
• Turns until Skeledirge faints: Terstallize and use Stored Power.

This is a straightforward way to win this battle. Make sure to keep healing yourself up using Soft Boiled once your health bar goes low so avoid getting knocked out.

2) Ground Tera Kommo-O

Build

• Level: 100
• Tera type: Ground
• Ability: Bulletproof
• Held Item: Shell Bell
• Nature: Adamant
• IVs: 31 in all categories
• EV Spread: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Sp. Def.
• Moveset: Bulldoze, Throat Chop, Screech, Earthquake

Strategy

This strategy is less linear than the one with Blissey and will require you to take a more dynamic approach. Start with a Throat Chop to block off any sound-based moves from Skeledirge — Torch Song, Hyper Voice, and Disarming Voice. Note that Kommo-O is already immune to Shadow Ball. Keep in mind that you'll have to keep using this attack once every two turns since this is a crucial part of this strategy.

For subsequent turns, use Screech to minimize Skeledirge's Defenses, which will take three hits. Try to get this done before you Terastallize or Skeledirge's shield goes up.

Once you can Terastallize, start spamming Earthquakes. Make sure not to use Arboliva as one of the partner Pokemon as its Grassy Terrain will lower Earthquake's efficacy, making it more difficult to solo Fire Skeledirge 7-star Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Wait for Skeledirge's shield to be broken before using Screech three times again. After this, finish off the raid boss with another couple of Earthquakes.
