How to beat 7-star Hisuian Typhlosion Tera Raid: Best counters in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

This guide will tackle everything players need to know about the 7-star Hisuian Typhlosion Fire Tera Type Tera Raid event, including the best ways to take on its Tera-powered Fire-type moves in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet has revived an ancient Pokemon for its next Halloween event and unleashed it upon the Paldea and Kitakami regions, as Hisuian Typhlosion has appeared in a 7-star Tera Raid. This Pokemon is sporting the Fire Tera Type, which means players will need to be prepared before taking on its powerful attacks.

Hisuian Typhlosion is a Fire/Ghost-type Pokemon, and the version appearing in the 7-Star Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet has a Fire Tera Type. This Pokemon also has the Blaze Ability, further increasing its Fire-type attacks once it’s weak. As such, an anti-fire strategy is the key to overcoming this Pokemon.

According to the official Serebii Twitter page, the 7-star Hisuian Typhlosion will occur from November 3 to November 5 and a week later from November 10 to November 12.

Hisuian Typhlosion Moveset & Type

The 7-Star Hisuian Typhlosion is a Fire/Ghost-type Pokemon with the Fire Tera Type. This means it takes double damage from Ground, Rock, Ghost, Water, and Dark-type moves, half damage from Poison, Steel, Fire, Grass, Ice, and Fairy-type moves, quarter damage from Bug-type moves, and is immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves.

Hisuian Typhlosion’s moveset includes Infernal Parade, Flamethrower, Will-O-Wisp, Focus Blast, and Sunny Day. In combat, Hisuian Typhlosion is fond of using Will-O-Wisp to inflict the Burn status effect and using Sunny Day to power up its Fire-type attacks before unleashing a strengthened Flamethrower.

Best Hisuian Samurott builds for 7-Star Hisuian Typhlosion Raids

Hisuian Samurott is one of the best Pokemon to use against Hisuian Typhloshion. While its stat spread focuses more on offense, its Water/Dark-type allows it to resist both Fire/Ghost-type moves. The only thing you need to watch out for is Focus Blast, as it will take double damage from any Fighting-type moves.

Hisuisn Samurott can use Rain Dance to break Hisuian Typhlosion’s Sunny Day whenever needed, which will also weaken its Flamethrower in the process. This can be followed up with Snarl, which will deal damage and lower the enemy’s Special Attack score, while Taunt will stop it from using Will-O-Wisp. A Rain Dance-powered Hydro Pump will also deal much damage during the battle. If healing is needed, bring a Shell Bell into battle.

Best Kyogre builds for 7-Star Hisuian Typhlosion Raids

One of the Legendary Pokemon of Hoenn is ideal for taking down Hisuian Typhlosion. While its solo Water-type doesn’t give it any type resistance, its bulky stats automatically offer it a degree of protection. It also only takes regular damage from Focus Blast.

As Kyogre has Drizzle, it doesn’t need to set up Rain Dance when it enters, allowing it to start blasting with Water Tera-powered Water Spout attacks right off the bat, dealing a ton of damage immediately. Calm Mind can be used to strengthen Water Spout and Surf, while Rance Dance can be used to cancel any additional uses of Sunny Day that Hisuian Typhlosion may possess. Bring a Shell Bell into battle, and keep Surf for when Kyogre’s health gets low, as this impacts the power of Water Spout.

Best Milotic builds for 7-Star Hisuian Typhlosion Raids

One of the returning Pokemon from The Teal Mask, Milotic is the perfect foe for Hisuian Typhlosion. Milotic has the same type situation as Kyogre, being neither resistant nor weak to anything Hisuian Typhlosion can throw at it.

Where Milotic works best is as a team supporter. Safeguard can be thrown up to protect the party from Will-O-Wisp, while Life Dew can heal everyone. Once Rain Dance is set up, Weather Ball can be powered up and used to hit Hisuian Typhlosion for a ton of damage. Keep a Shell Bell handy to restore as much health as possible.
