Below you’ll find the best counters to the new Iron Leaves Virizion Tera Raid and Walking Wake Suicune Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Guide – Best counters for the Iron Leaves Virizion Tera Raid
The problem with Iron leaves is not inflicting damage, but in surviving. You should bring a Pokémon capable of withstanding some damage while still dealing significant damage to Iron Leaves. A Pokémon such as Ceruledge is an excellent choice because it can negate Iron Leaves’s psychic attacks, such as Psyblade. Combine this with moves of the Dark type to quickly dispose of Iron Leaves.
Skeledirge is another good option that you probably already have at a high level. Its Ghost/Fire type places it in the same category as Ceruledge.
Houndoom with a Dark Tera Type is also a strong contender in this fight. Iron Leaves can be quickly dispatched with moves like Foul Play. While Houndoom’s defense stat isn’t great, you can improve it with some EV training if you don’t have many other options.
Using pure Dark types is a bad idea because Iron Leaves’ Megahorn attack will be critical against a pure Dark type. Having a dual split like Skeledirge, Houndoom, or Ceruledge will negate this and give you a fighting chance.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Guide – Best Counters for the Walking Wake Suicune Tera Raid
Suicune Walking Wake is a Water/Dragon with a Water Tera Type. As a result, you should bring Electric. We don’t recommend a Grass type Pokemon because this Suicune has strong counters to grass Pokemon in the form of Sunny Day, Flamethrower, and Protosynthesis.
The Walking Wake Suicune is level 75 and is pretty easy to steamroll if you have a powerful Electric type. So if you plan on doing this solo or with random players, bring a fairly powerful Electric-type Pokemon. Iron Hands, Miraidon, and even the new level 100 Pikachu you obtained from the previous seven-star Tera Raid are our recommendations.
That’s all there is to know about the best Pokemon Scarlet and Violet counters for Iron Leaves Virizion & Walking Wake Suicune Tera Raid.
