How to prepare for 7-star Iron Bundle Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Understanding Iron Bundle’s strategy in this Tera Raid is very important. In it, this creature will have access to Freeze-Dry, which will be great against Water-type moves.

Freeze-Dry will also enjoy the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) as Iron Bundle is an Ice- and Water-type beast. So, try to stay away from Water-type monsters.

Since Iron Bundle has an Ice elemental typing, it will be very weak to Fighting and Steel-type moves. So, you should consider building your team around these elemental typings.
