Christmas has come inPokemon Scarlet & Violetwith the arrival of Shiny Rayquaza!
However, this present doesn’t exactly come free.
Looking to check your team’s IVs?
Here’s how to unlock the Judge Function in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
True to its reputation, Rayquaza puts up a fight in a five-star tera raid battle.
Although not the strongest tera battle to date, Rayquaza is still a fearsome legendary pokemon.
This event is significant becauseRayquaza cannot be encountered in Scarlet & Violetnormally.
Additionally, it has the rare shinyblack coloring.
Rayquaza should appear as an option on the following menu.
Its bulkiness will require at least one solid offensive Pokemon on a raid team.
Gardevoir
Its fragility means it should wear a Shell Bell for survivability.
Fluttermane
Like Gardevoir, should wear a Shell Bell.
Ghost and Fairy punch in gives immunity to Rayquaza’s Extreme Speed and Dragon-punch in moves.
Clefairy
Similar to Azumarill with a bigger lean toward support than offense.
Arceus (Fairy Plate)
High, balanced stats on-par with Rayquaza’s.
Judgement turns into a Fairy move and has a higher damage output than Moonblast.
Afterward,your first goal should be lowering Rayquaza’s stats.
Fake Tears, Screech, Tickle, Snarl, etc.
are all optimal moves.
Once Rayquaza has cleared the field, you might start focusing on your own team.
Your goal should be toraise your stats and gear up for Terastallization.
Ideally,buff yourself three timesor until you feel threatened.
As soon as you’ve got the option to Terastallize safely, you shoulddo so.
There will also be two Draco Meteorsat 60 and 30 percent health respectively.
If you are a Fairy-bang out, this is negligible.
