Pokémon games may not be the hardest, but the post-game stuff is where the real challenge hits. The Mighty Cinderace Tera Raid in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is no joke. It’s the kind of challenge that makes even the pros sweat.
In these intense seven-star Tera Raid battles, you’re up against Level 100 Pokémon. They’re stronger than usual, and you need good teamwork to win.
There are still bugs in these high-level raids. The main strategy hasn’t changed though. You need to know your enemy, pick the right Pokémon to counter them, and work well with your team.
If you’re trying it solo or with a group, you want those seven-star rewards. And since this might be the last chance to face Mighty Cinderace, you don’t want to miss out.
How to Win Against Mighty Cinderace
Before you start, evaluate your teammates. Planning your team can make or break your victory. Ensure someone brings support instead of having all attackers.
Make sure your Pokémon are at Level 100. Mighty Cinderace, also at Level 100, gets extra power boosts. Underleveled Pokémon could drag your team down.
Cinderace has fewer moves this time but watch out for Pyro Ball and High Jump Kick. And be ready for its moves like Acrobatics and Iron Head, plus its Bulk Up move.
Top Picks to Beat Mighty Cinderace
Azumarill
Azumarill became popular during the Charizard raid. It can do well here too but think twice about Terastallizing it into a Fairy-type if Cinderace has Iron Head. Moves like Belly Drum and Liquidation are your go-tos, but remember, Tera Raid bosses can undo your stat changes.
Pelipper
Pelipper is the best counter with its Water and Flying-type moves. It sets up rain to lessen Fire-type moves and boost Water-type moves. Hurricane becomes super reliable in the rain, and Chilling Water lowers Cinderace’s Attack.
Ceruledge and Armarouge
These Fire-types resist or are immune to everything but Acrobatics. They can support the team or launch their own attacks. Ceruledge works well with moves like Psycho Cut, while Armarouge can boost damage with Psychic Terrain and offer support.
Arcanine
Arcanine is great thanks to its bulk and the Flash Fire ability. It can take hits and dish out damage or support the team. Charm, Helping Hand, and Will-O-Wisp are key moves.
Bronzong
Replacing Grimmsnarl, Bronzong shines with its Heatproof ability. It helps your team with Reflect and can lower Cinderace’s Special Defense.
Bulky Water and Flying-types are Strong Choices
In this raid, bulky Pokémon like Gyrados and Dragonite have an edge. They can withstand attacks and fight back. Consider any Pokémon that can become Water or Flying-type through Terastallization. But remember, survival is key, so choose Pokémon that are always ready.
Choosing the right Pokémon and working as a team are crucial. Equip water and flying types or those that can hinder Cinderace’s attacks. And remember to have fun while taking on this tough challenge in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
