Unmatched Incineroar Tera Raids are proving one of many harder seven-star raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, however one devoted participant managed to solo it with a a lot weaker cat.
All seven-star Tera Raids are exhausting in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet should you don’t carry the suitable counters or a strong technique, however the Incineroar Tera Raid occasion appears to be much more irritating. For instance, I had no luck with a number of completely different Pokémon earlier than discovering a strong counter and construct to beat this cat. Even some totally advanced ‘mons I assumed can be good ended up flopping.
Not everybody’s having a lot hassle although, with one Scarlet and Violet participant apparently in a position to solo the troublesome raid utilizing a tiny Litten—the primary ‘mon in Incineroar’s evolution line. Within the video posted on YouTube, the coach confirmed how they managed to tug off the unbelievable victory after greater than 70 makes an attempt in over 10 hours.
As an unevolved Pokémon, Litten has naturally poor stats that aren’t very best for seven-star raids. It additionally doesn’t have the sort benefit in opposition to Unmatched Incineroar’s Darkish Tera Sort. In different phrases, you’d need to work further exhausting and pray for good RNG simply to place it in a successful place.
To arrange for fulfillment, the participant had Litten maintain the Eviolite merchandise for further bulk and relied on a particular set of NPCs with Staraptor, Arcanine, and Drifblim. Staraptor and Arcanine always lowered Incineroar’s Assault stat with Intimidate, whereas Drifblim decreased the cat’s assault by burning it with Will-O-Wisp. Litten additionally needed to get fortunate with Protection drops from Crunch.
For offense, Litten boosted Assault with Swords Dance and dealt super-effective injury with Leech Life. The difficult half about Leech Life is it’s a Bug-type assault, and boosting its injury with the Bug Tera Sort is a double-edged sword. Whereas it’s good offensively in opposition to Incineroar’s Darkish Tera Sort, it makes Litten further susceptible to the raid boss’ strongest assault, Flare Blitz. Fortunately, Litten managed to attain two important hits in a row with Leech Life to chomp away on the large HP bar.
As you possibly can think about, good RNG must be in your aspect to solo the Incineroar raid with a weaker ‘mon like Litten. The coach even admitted they “practically gave up,” nevertheless it’s a very good factor they stored going as a result of it’s superior to see the mighty Incineroar fall to its personal little one.
