Welcome to the final days of Samurott<\/h2>

In case you haven\u2019t heard, Samurott is joining the roster of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet<\/em> via a 7-Star Tera Raid Battle event<\/a>. This event will run from March 31 to April 2, and it will repeat the following weekend from April 7 to April 9.<\/p>

One of the most challenging aspects of 7-Star raids is sheer unpredictability. The moveset of any Pokemon can completely change which monster will counter it best, so it\u2019s almost impossible to prepare for an event before it goes live. For example, Samurott is a Water-Type Pokemon with a Bug Tera Type<\/strong>, which means Flying-Type Pokemon should<\/em> be the best counters. However, if Samurott knows an Ice-Type move, the best Pokemon may be Walking Wake with Flamethrower<\/a> or a Skill Link Cloyster with Rock Blast<\/a>.<\/p>

As unpredictable as raids are, you can minimize the busywork now so you can challenge Samurott within the first few hours of its debut. Here\u2019s what you should do.<\/p>

Step 1: Catch any Pokemon you might use for the raid<\/h2>

We don’t know which Pokemon will be meta<\/em>, but some monsters are more likely to take the spotlight than others. Sure, you know that Torkoal isn\u2019t likely to be a winner, but there\u2019s a chance Corviknight could be an MVP.<\/p>

If you\u2019ve already completed your Pokedex, then you have this step on lock. If not, I\u2019d recommend filling your storage with as many different Flying-Type Pokemon as you can<\/strong>. Pokemon that resist Water and Bug-Type attacks are also worth consideration. For example, Quaquaval\u2019s Water\/Fighting-Type gives it comprehensive resistances, and Acrobatics allows it to deal super effective damage in return. You don\u2019t necessarily need to fully build every possible Pokemon, but the more options you have, the better.<\/p>

It\u2019s worth noting that, typically, raid-ready Pokemon should have a Tera Type matching their primary attack element. Unlike in competitive battling, Teratalization is predominately an offensive boon that can help break a raid Pokemon\u2019s shield faster. It\u2019s okay if your Pokemon has a unique Tera Type, but don\u2019t go out of your way for one.<\/p>

Step 2: Stock up on TMs<\/h2>

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet<\/em> forgoes the tradition of the previous four generations and makes TMs consumable again. This isn\u2019t a particular issue for progressing the main game, as you\u2019ll find plenty of TMs laying around. However, if you\u2019re deep into the postgame or have participated in many 7-Star events, your stash of certain key TMs may be running low.<\/p>

I highly recommend farming plenty of materials for Reflect and Light Screen<\/strong>. These are fundamental support moves, so you can never own enough of these. Moves that sharply raise or lower stats typically get decent milage too, such as Charm or Iron Defense. Finally, any move that deals damage and lowers a stat can be especially invaluable if you need to play support during a shield phase. Chilling Water<\/strong> has been a mainstay support move for several encounters, and it could potentially help here too.<\/p>

Powerful Flying, Fire, and Rock-Type TMs are all applicable here too as counters to Bug Pokemon. The best moves will obviously vary depending on the Pokemon, but I\u2019d recommend having Flamethrower, Rock Blast, and Sunny Day on hand. Otherwise, I\u2019d say go through your list of TMs and make sure you have one of each. Even if you don\u2019t need every TM now, you\u2019ll be happy to have them for future 7-Star battles.<\/p>

Step 3: Get mad money<\/h2>

Once you decide which Pokemon you\u2019ll want to use, you\u2019ll need to max out their EVs and applicable IVs. The fastest way to max EVs is via stat boost items you can buy from Chansey Supply in Mesagoza. The problem here is that these items cost money. Like, a lot of money.<\/p>

Buying all the EV items you\u2019ll need for one Pokemon will run you around 500,000 Pokedollars. If you need bottlecaps for IVs, those will run you 20,000 Pokedollars each. You\u2019ll also need to account for held items that you might need in a pinch, such as the Assault Vest<\/a>. 7-Star raids fortunately drop bottlecaps and EXP candies at a decent rate, but either way, you need stacks of cash.<\/p>

The fastest and easiest way to grind money is by running the Academy Ace Tournament<\/strong>. Lead with a Pokemon holding the Amulet Coin, which will boost your earnings to over 100,000 Pokedollars per tournament. Anyone who preordered the DLC for Scarlet & Violet <\/em>received a Mystery Gift code for Hisuian Zoroark, who uniquely knows the move Happy Hour. When used, your prize money after a battle will double<\/em>. This makes Zoroark the ideal lead for running the tournament, especially since it can use U-Turn immediately after if its stuck in a bad matchup.<\/p>

As for a good all-around sweeper for the tournament, I recommend Gholdengo. If<\/em> you can give it a Steel Tera Type, a max Sp. Atk build with Choice Specs equipped should be able to OHKO any Pokemon you\u2019re up against. Additionally, you\u2019ll get even more bonus money thanks to Make It Rain\u2019s secondary effect. If you want to spend money to make money, this is how you should do it.<\/p>

Step 4: Check for updates<\/h2>

This is mainly for when the event actually goes live, but always make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the game before you go online. The Walking Wake and Iron Leaves event had a pretty nasty glitch occur if players didn\u2019t update beforehand<\/a>, so you\u2019ll want to avoid that same fate. This hasn\u2019t been an issue for other 7-Star raid events, but you can never be too careful.<\/p>

There are plenty of battle preparations you can make, but in the end, don\u2019t go overboard covering every base. Stock up on the things you think you might need, and grab the resources to fully build two or three Pokemon if you plan to farm the event. One-and-done players can wait for solo builds to appear and stick with those to catch Samurott, so feel free to take any angle that keeps your grinding to a minimum.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":838,"featured_media":370822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[21983],"tags":[232,20971],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":838,"display_name":"Timothy
