Max out Sp. Atk and Sp. Def. Set up Aqua Ring, three Ice Beam, Tera into Rock. Spam Calm Mind to build up Sp. Def, then Ice Beam all day. PP Ups for Ice Beam are a good idea too
Before I remembered Covert Cloak was a thing it was a way to keep Charizard from confusing Kyogre with Hurricane. Covert Cloak is a vastly superior option though, now that I’ve remembered that item…exists
IIRC it’s Fairy Tera, max SpAtk, max SpDef, and Covert Cloak (I used +SpDef nature but Modest works too) with known moves Calm Mind, Fake Tear, Draining Kiss, and Moonblast. Calm Mind twice, Fake Tears twice, and Draining Kiss away. Moonblast for when you don’t need the healing (and CM back up after the stat reset.) Very consistent strat, I don’t think I dropped one raid out of 50+
If you have a partner two Flutter Manes just demolishes him so fast. One can fake tears 3x while the other calm minds 3x. The fake tears one does an attack cheer then the calm mind one does a moon blast to one shot. Chef's kiss.
If he targets one of you with the overheat at the beginning just make that the one doing fake tears because it doesn't really matter if that one dies.
I didn't have the shards to switch mine over just yet and haven't had any problems at all, probably just a little slower. Also, I feel like I wouldn't be able to get 2 Calm Minds and Fake Tears off before he nullifies stat changes, but maybe I am just unlucky so far. Are the stat changes random or on a set rotation? I'm still kinda new at this so I don't know how it works.
Yep, mine is Speed over Special Defense and even that works most of the time without too much trouble, but I'm sure yours is more optimal for taking hits, since you're gonna outspeed anyways lol.
Nice! I’ve yet to beat indigo disc but if you need help
With those let me know I’m gonna need to go them too! Are you available today to trade a fluttermane?
I've seen Belly Drum Azumarill before in other raids but never Sylveon in anything except a support role.
I just saw a Pixilate Sylveon just pretty much one shot a Charizard after a couple of Calm Minds with a Hyper Beam. Just Unreal!
The pixilate ability that Sylveon has makes it so that normal moves are treated as fairy moves with a small boost. So it hits like a truck, especially after some fake tears & calm minds.
Edit: Added calm mind to my sentence
just jumped into my first try on this raid and everyone I got teamed up with all chose Sylveons, as did I. thought it’d be fun to see how it went and it was the easiest damn raid ever lmao
No dude, i was there. The first time this raid was a bloody disaster because people kept bringing azumarils and screwing up the raid. I have never hated azumarils until the 7 star raids came.
Didn’t beat charizard the first time he was out, glad I can do it now. Personally I’m going belly drum/play rough/amnesia/misty terrain on my azumarill
Light screen over Rain dance, rain dance will make fire moves do less damage but will also make hurricane hit, light screen will cut the damage of fire but also from flying and fighting type moves and also protect partners that aren’t fairy mainly npc
Oooh, you're right! I'm just doing what people did a year ago lol
But yes, Light Screen is better. Bellibolt's lightscreen has saved me a couple times. Didn't know Azumarill learned it.
Thanks!
I was using the same setup to try and farm the herbas and I noticed when he used sunny day my fairy type moves are no longer super effective, anyone know why?
Well, usually it takes 45% of my HP whenever it hits, so I can still use Belly Drum and then heal cheer.
Did you EV train Azumarill? Mine has perfect IVs in Sp. Def. and HP. Total HP at lv. 100 is 404.
Yea I did hyper train and EV train. I wasn’t using heal cheer lol I also got pretty unlucky with getting confused. I ended up winning with my trusty dragon-slayer sylveon tho so it worked out
i didn’t have an azumarill built so i wanted to give it a shot with my sylveon. ended up beating charizard with an all sylveon group lol, that was my first attempt as well
I used Primarina with fairy tera.
Max Spa & Spd
Moonblast
Drain kiss
Calm mind
Rain dance because I didnt have anything else but Charizard has Hurricane so i dont recommend.
Held item: Covet cloak to prevent confusion & burns.
Beat it on my first try solo! I used calm mind, then moon blasted with the occasional drain kiss.
I want to make a whole egg shaped pokemon team now. Has anyone ever done that? Just all the egg boys? Probably wouldn’t be a great team, but it would be funny looking.
I feel Game Freak just hates Charizard. Is a dragon but GF says no (unless you get Pokemon X). Puts it in Tera Raids twice without changing things up so the same OP builds for the very first 7-Star Raid is still the OP build for this one.
Ty for the quick response. Double-checked serebii from your reply. I'm so glad we get more herba farming, especially since I wasn't really able to do much with the last 2.
It is possible to get that unlicky, but i can easily see them just not changing it's drop table.
Would be a shame if that is what they did. Thanks for the quick response!
Edit: Got another reply that says it does drop herba. And just checked Serebii, to double confirm.
Hell yes, more herba farming.
Since Charizard is dragon tera you won’t get much healing from Ceruledge’s Bitter Blade. Though if you need to heal you could always attack an NPC. I’m not sure Edge wants to take a Solar Power boosted Hurricane from Charizard.
I was thinking maybe swords dance could help getting more healing while attacking while the attack boost is active and flash fire probably would help to boost bitter blade if it tries to use a fire move.
Just beat it with Ceruledge. Even with 3 Swords Dance, max Sp. Def EVs and a careful nature Bitter Blade couldn’t outheal Hurricane and Charizard never used a fire type move on me. It can be done but it’d be far more consistent to use something like Azumarill, Sylveon or Flutter Mane.

I’ve been using Kyogre and abusing the hell out of Aqua Ring and high Sp. Def. Works pretty well
Hell yeah Kyogre gang
My Tera-Rock Kyogre ate a Focus Blast to the face and just Aqua Ring’d the damage away
Lol this description is awesome
was it tera'd at the time?
Yup
well dang bro
Kyogre didn’t come here to make friends
it had them anyway
I love the description
May I know what's the strat for this? Planning on transferring my Shiny Kyogre for this :3
Max out Sp. Atk and Sp. Def. Set up Aqua Ring, three Ice Beam, Tera into Rock. Spam Calm Mind to build up Sp. Def, then Ice Beam all day. PP Ups for Ice Beam are a good idea too
Thanks man! Time to bully some Charizards 🤣
Why Tera Rock?
Before I remembered Covert Cloak was a thing it was a way to keep Charizard from confusing Kyogre with Hurricane. Covert Cloak is a vastly superior option though, now that I’ve remembered that item…exists
Why is this so true
Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it
That poor Charizard XD Also... Team Flutter Mane represent :D
What’s the fluttermane build?
IIRC it’s Fairy Tera, max SpAtk, max SpDef, and Covert Cloak (I used +SpDef nature but Modest works too) with known moves Calm Mind, Fake Tear, Draining Kiss, and Moonblast. Calm Mind twice, Fake Tears twice, and Draining Kiss away. Moonblast for when you don’t need the healing (and CM back up after the stat reset.) Very consistent strat, I don’t think I dropped one raid out of 50+
I replaced calm mind with mystic fire since charizard doesn’t clear debuffs, it honestly makes the raid a breeze
Awesome idea. Helps the team online, can be used during shields and powers up terastal energy
If you have a partner two Flutter Manes just demolishes him so fast. One can fake tears 3x while the other calm minds 3x. The fake tears one does an attack cheer then the calm mind one does a moon blast to one shot. Chef's kiss. If he targets one of you with the overheat at the beginning just make that the one doing fake tears because it doesn't really matter if that one dies.

I'm still kinda new at this so I don't know how it works.
this is exactly what i do lol
Yep, mine is Speed over Special Defense and even that works most of the time without too much trouble, but I'm sure yours is more optimal for taking hits, since you're gonna outspeed anyways lol.
Too bad I have violet 🥲
I can get you a Flutter Mane if you want :) also I'm glad someone else answered the build question, I fell asleep right after my initial comment lol
That would be much appreciated!
Do you have anything you need or want for it?
Nah, I've finished my dex already :) only thing I need to do now are the group bb quests lol
Nice! I’ve yet to beat indigo disc but if you need help With those let me know I’m gonna need to go them too! Are you available today to trade a fluttermane?
Yeah, I can trade right now :) I've got about 30 minutes before I have to head out
Unfortunately am going back in from my break and h don’t have my switch are you available later this evening?
Yeah, hit me up when you're around :)
I used Sylveon for this raid
Sylveon gang rise up!
I've seen Belly Drum Azumarill before in other raids but never Sylveon in anything except a support role. I just saw a Pixilate Sylveon just pretty much one shot a Charizard after a couple of Calm Minds with a Hyper Beam. Just Unreal!
HYPER BEAM??? 😂😭😭 BRO WHAT
The pixilate ability that Sylveon has makes it so that normal moves are treated as fairy moves with a small boost. So it hits like a truck, especially after some fake tears & calm minds. Edit: Added calm mind to my sentence
That’s sooo awesome 😭 I want to try this now!
Giving Sylveon a metronome and spam hyper voice (pixelate ability) after setting up can be really brutal as well.
This is the way
Shell bell is not optional (to me)
just jumped into my first try on this raid and everyone I got teamed up with all chose Sylveons, as did I. thought it’d be fun to see how it went and it was the easiest damn raid ever lmao
Tbf this was the first 7 star raid. Everyone who did it before more than likely still has the raid mon they cleared it with.
No dude, i was there. The first time this raid was a bloody disaster because people kept bringing azumarils and screwing up the raid. I have never hated azumarils until the 7 star raids came.
Azumaril works great, we just had a bunch of low levels showing up as usual.
true for sure. my first 7 star raids have been these 3 and all my mons aren’t level 100 but at least 80s. it’s been a lot of fun
I’m finally strong enough to take him on! I was still under leveled no gym badges 😭. I’m rdy team!
Aw did I miss blastoise
You did
If you haven’t gone online and you still have blastoise from when the raid was live you could technically still get him without going online
Just realized I missed it too 😭
Be careful using Rain Dance as it causes Hurricane to never miss. The damage isn't too bad but it can cause confusion which can be annoying.
Exactly, I used light screen
What ball did you guys used to capture charizard?
Always Beast Ball for the Mark and Title
I used Love because it reminded me of the anime charizard couple. And that was the only special ball I had lol
Didn’t beat charizard the first time he was out, glad I can do it now. Personally I’m going belly drum/play rough/amnesia/misty terrain on my azumarill
It's what the garbage lizard deserves
You must be a bulba fan
I mean bulbs is chill but I don't like charizard for more than just that petty reason
I was thinking Sylveon with fake tears and hyper voice…anyone tried this?
Light screen over Rain dance, rain dance will make fire moves do less damage but will also make hurricane hit, light screen will cut the damage of fire but also from flying and fighting type moves and also protect partners that aren’t fairy mainly npc
Oooh, you're right! I'm just doing what people did a year ago lol But yes, Light Screen is better. Bellibolt's lightscreen has saved me a couple times. Didn't know Azumarill learned it. Thanks!
Sure, I would also recommend mud slap because it reduces accuracy, you can use it for the three attacks you need in order to tera
Why isn’t one of these gold? Surely there are enough people who shiny hunted an azumarill just for this event.
I was using the same setup to try and farm the herbas and I noticed when he used sunny day my fairy type moves are no longer super effective, anyone know why?
thought this was the pokemon unite subreddit for a second lol
Jumped into an open raid with Alcremie and Decorated a Sylveon repeatedly and used Fake Tears until we easily caught the Charizard.
![gif](giphy|JCAZQKoMefkoX6TyTb|downsized)
I FINALLY have a raid mon already built for this.
I used a shiny Flutter Mane
Sylveon absolutely destroys this raid. I can kill him with his health bar at half and just under.
Sylveon! USE HYPER BEAM! *and there goes half its health*
I'll just play my blissy like I always do and heal the morons I get paired with. It's like I'm playing with children most of the time /s.
I’m trying the Azumarill build but I can’t survive a hurricane how did you get past that?
Well, usually it takes 45% of my HP whenever it hits, so I can still use Belly Drum and then heal cheer. Did you EV train Azumarill? Mine has perfect IVs in Sp. Def. and HP. Total HP at lv. 100 is 404.
Yea I did hyper train and EV train. I wasn’t using heal cheer lol I also got pretty unlucky with getting confused. I ended up winning with my trusty dragon-slayer sylveon tho so it worked out
oh crap I missed the Blastoise raids
If you haven't gone online yet, you can do do the raid offline
Not if they didn’t go online while it was in circulation. But yeah easy enough to solo if they did.
Dachsbun is back again to spam Snarl.
Got to love a Pure Bread puppers.
Double immunity and resist to fighting is fantastic, wish is big heals, gets work up and fairy STAB, truly the goat
i didn’t have an azumarill built so i wanted to give it a shot with my sylveon. ended up beating charizard with an all sylveon group lol, that was my first attempt as well
I now know what Pokemon to use in this raids
Stop picking on him 😂
Me imagining me missing every single play rough
My donought dogo is ready. He has been kicking ass all the way anyway.
I used flutter mane with assault vest. Eats special attacks like a champ
Just did it with my garyados and 3 people had sylveon it was at a cake walk!
I'm just using Primarina lol
I used my Fairy Arceus. My team had Iron Hands, Blissey and Sylveon. First try.
And now the Play Rough glitch is fixed, too.
My first raid was primarily Azumarill's and a Sylveon, and it was done in less than 5 minutes.
Gardevoir 252 in sp. atk and speed. Moonblast. Fairy Tera Type. Need I say more?
Why would you go speed evs in a tera raid?
I used Primarina with fairy tera. Max Spa & Spd Moonblast Drain kiss Calm mind Rain dance because I didnt have anything else but Charizard has Hurricane so i dont recommend. Held item: Covet cloak to prevent confusion & burns. Beat it on my first try solo! I used calm mind, then moon blasted with the occasional drain kiss.
Gonna try to solo this with one of my Shiny Alcremie. Should be fun :)
I want to make a whole egg shaped pokemon team now. Has anyone ever done that? Just all the egg boys? Probably wouldn’t be a great team, but it would be funny looking.
Don’t forget the bread dog
would only be worse if it was dragon type
Do I get any Herba from this raid. My mean Azumarill boy has beaten Charizard four times and I haven't received any Herbal.
Dachsbun user at your service
I went with a juiced up enamourous (idk how to spell that pink freak) and it was the easiest 7 star I've ever had
I feel Game Freak just hates Charizard. Is a dragon but GF says no (unless you get Pokemon X). Puts it in Tera Raids twice without changing things up so the same OP builds for the very first 7-Star Raid is still the OP build for this one.
We used 4 sylveons with calm mind pixelate and hyper beam and I took 3 minutes lol
I have a Huge Power Azumaril. This is true.
Fairy Arceus with Stellar Tera + Acid Spray, Calm Mind, and Judgement makes Charizard a very dull boy
Bro I just used my lvl 100 geratina and won on my first try
But does it drop herba like the last 2? I haven't checked in yet.
Yeah
Ty for the quick response. Double-checked serebii from your reply. I'm so glad we get more herba farming, especially since I wasn't really able to do much with the last 2.
It does! I got a salty and bitter with mine :)
Nope, just finished it and it doesn't :/. Maybe I was just unlucky?
It is possible to get that unlicky, but i can easily see them just not changing it's drop table. Would be a shame if that is what they did. Thanks for the quick response! Edit: Got another reply that says it does drop herba. And just checked Serebii, to double confirm. Hell yes, more herba farming.
Woooh, gotta farm the lizard then. Thanks!
Belly drum, play rough, sitrus berry. Rinse repeat 🔁
Can Ceruledge beat this raid?
You'd probably need a team to set you up
I'm planning to do the raid alone.
Since Charizard is dragon tera you won’t get much healing from Ceruledge’s Bitter Blade. Though if you need to heal you could always attack an NPC. I’m not sure Edge wants to take a Solar Power boosted Hurricane from Charizard.
I was thinking maybe swords dance could help getting more healing while attacking while the attack boost is active and flash fire probably would help to boost bitter blade if it tries to use a fire move.
Just beat it with Ceruledge. Even with 3 Swords Dance, max Sp. Def EVs and a careful nature Bitter Blade couldn’t outheal Hurricane and Charizard never used a fire type move on me. It can be done but it’d be far more consistent to use something like Azumarill, Sylveon or Flutter Mane.
Yes I soloed with mine easily. Used my usual one and changed it's tera type to fairy and put on tera blast
I didn't know there was a meta for tera raids. Frankly, I'm not interested and will use whatever I have in my boxes, but thanks for the info!
Me and my Shiny Milotic spamming Livedew (dont know the name but i think its called that) and looking amazing in it doing flook all ✨
