In the exciting world of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, trainers are in for a treat with the introduction of a fresh seven-star Tera Raid battle featuring Quaquaval the Unrivaled. This powerful Pokémon will be challenging trainers until March 20, offering a thrilling opportunity to capture a level 100 Paldean starter with a remarkable ability.
Quaquaval, known as the Dancer Pokémon, is the final evolution of Quaxly and Quaxwell, achieving its formidable form at level 36. This dual Water and Fighting-type starter boasts impressive physical attack and speed stats. While players might recall the defensive strengths of Water Pokémon like Blastoise and Swampert, Quaquaval leans more towards the agility and versatility seen in Pokémon such as Greninja and Samurott. In the world of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, this type combination gives Quaquaval an edge against Steel, Fire, and Rock-type opponents, though it does find itself vulnerable to Electric-type attacks.
As the recent Tera Raid with Skeledirge has come to a close, trainers now have one last Paldean Starter Raid Boss to face. Nintendo has shared via social media that Quaquaval the Unrivaled will dominate the Seven-Star Tera Raid dens until Thursday, March 20, wrapping up at 7:59 PM Eastern. Possessing the Water-type Tera classification, this Dancer Pokémon also rewards victorious trainers with the coveted Mightiest Mark. Quaquaval wields the hidden ability Moxie, which enhances its already substantial attack power upon defeating an opponent.
To successfully take on Quaquaval, trainers must understand its strategic moveset which aligns with its rhythmic nature. As per Serebii.net, the battle begins with Quaquaval using Bulk Up to increase its physical attack and defense. Throughout the encounter, look out for its Aqua Step, Brick Break, Brave Bird, and Ice Spinner moves, each aimed at exploiting weaknesses in a broad array of Pokémon types. To add to the challenge, Quaquaval will erect a protective barrier early on and utilize Rain Dance to power up Aqua Step, followed by another late-game Bulk Up.
Successfully countering Quaquaval’s hidden ability through strategies like Skill Swap and Gastro Acid will be crucial to avoid a snowball effect from multiple knockouts. Since Brick Break can neutralize defensive moves like Reflect and Light Screen, trainers might find success with moves like Iron Defense or Chilling Water to lessen damage.
Trainers strategizing for this raid needn’t worry about Ground-type assaults, making Electric Pokémon such as Miraidon, Bellibolt, and Zekrom effective choices against Quaquaval. As this Tera Raid battle progresses, it will be fascinating to see the various strategies that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet trainers employ to triumph over Quaquaval the Unrivaled.
