It's baffling to me that it's a special attacker at all. I get that that was better for it's typing pre-physical/special split but it never once gave me the vibes of a special attacker.

Sceptile had focus blast, hidden power and leaf storm. It’s a shame it never got nasty plot, air slash or earth power. It’s physical coverage is far greater than its special coverage.

Haven't said this in a while but, WELCOME TO THE WAR ROOM!!!

[@treybrzezowski3259]

Here was the build I used because it worked pretty well for me. Grimmsnarl, 252 HP and Attack, Prankster Ability, Adamant Nature. Moves: Taunt, Reflect, Bulk Up, and Play Rough. Held Item: Shell Bell. Turn 1, Taunt Turn 2, Reflect Turn 3, Play Rough until he resets stats Turn 4, after he does the reset start using Bulk Up After enough Bulk ups/ Play Roughs, Tera Fairy for more Play Rough damage.

[@ManMan31994]

What is "enough" Bulk Ups? This strategy hasn't worked for me at all in 7 tries

Bro is so real for the comment about the presidential debate. And from what I hear it was just that. 😂

[@jameshoang2060]

Clefable 252 Def/ 252 Spa/ 6 Hp Ability: Unaware Moves: Protect, Calm Mind, Draining Kiss, Alluring Voice Held Item: Expert Belt Alluring Voice turn 1, which will confuse Sceptile since it will most likely use Dragon Dance. Draining Kiss in general to get Hp back. Use Protect when ability is negated. Terastalize when or after using Protect. Alternate between Calm Mind and Draining Kiss, mostly in fear of Leaf Blade landing a crit, then alternate between Draining Kiss and Alluring Voice. Could switch Alluring Voice for Moonblast for more power, but the confusion from Alluring Voice can use the Dragon Dance boosts against it

[@ED-fu5lz]

I was thinking unaware clefable, psych up-playrough combo

[@nedrostram2360]

I find Alluring Voice is ineffective at actually getting the Sceptile to hurt itself in confusion. I would rather use Draining Kiss 3x to keep our HP intact. Then Tera Fairy Reflect -> Protect -> Calm Mind until ready -> spam Draining Kiss.

[@rubenmoreno407]

The devs definitely have fun making these movepools

[@dtell3424]

Especially against all the people thinking azumarill would be fine with sap sipper

[@TrayolLyrics]

That Malamar set looks cool. I succeeded using Magearna. Max HP and Def; Bold Nature; Draining Kiss, Iron Defense, Metal Sound; Fairy Feather; have an AI partner with Intimidate for extra safety. Draining Kiss three times; Tera Fairy and use Metal Sound; Sceptile will reset stats; Iron Defense up to +6, mixing in Draining Kiss as needed; spam Draining Kiss until win.

[@shawnmcendree578]

Heads up. The adamant Annihilape (with Shell Bell) with the moves Rage Fist, Bulk Up, Taunt, and Focus Energy (Ghost Tera with the Defiant ability, of course) works decently, as well. I had max Attack and HP (probably better to have max Defense instead of HP, but I just used an Annihilape that I had already made for general raiding just to see if it could be done). I tested it a few times and it works. You might fail early on if you get bad RNG, but just try again. If all you want to do is catch the Sceptile and not farm it, this Annihilape set isn't a bad build to use.

[@paytonhansen]

Thank you! I don’t have DLC so I appreciate your help

[@Cory83904WWE]

[@ARabidPie]

Confirmed. This one works well. Annihilape is GOAT. Got it on my second try. Would have done it in one if it hadn't been for Sceptile getting a perfectly timed crit. Didn't use focus energy. Used drain punch for better early regen. Taunted twice turn one and again when it wore off. Bulked up a few times after the reset and drain punched to fill health as needed. He didn't dragon dance until halfway through the timer. By then I was already defense buffed, terastalized and then unleashed rage fist for massive damage and that was that. Had a tauros first round and bellibolt second round, both were very helpful with intimidate and paralysis. Defiant ability eats up breaking swipe. Sceptile's turn 1 leaf storm nerfs its own attack when it can't dragon dance due to taunt.

[@justinburchette]

Thank you so much Austin

[@howiethao277]

If going online, you can just bring a physically bulky Pokémon that knows Clear Smog and literally just spam that move. This significantly increases your party’s survivability. Sceptile isn’t that physically strong to begin with. Me personally, I brought a Torkoal with Clear Smog, Iron Defense, Body Press (Fighting Tera type), and Inferno (for the 100% burn chance). If your team has a damage dealer, just spam Clear Smog. Otherwise, you can use Iron Defense and Tera-Fighting Body Press to deal reasonable damage.

[@Shadow8M]

Did you had drought on Torkoal?

[@alphabladelm2011]

I did. I probably should have changed to White Smoke (to prevent stat drops from Breaking Swipe). Even with this moveset, I lost multiple times. I got lucky having an Annihilape on my online team spamming Rage Fist.

[@Darnelldnell]

I used a Hisuian Goodra as well, but with Sap Sipper and Tera fairy. Used chilling water to keep lowering it's attack. No one was ko'd partially due to the Pokémon of choice as well. There was a Fairy Plate Arceus, a Sylveon, and Orgin Form Dialga. Finished with maybe 60 percent of time remaining.

[@Avatarlover181]

My successful attempt with getting Sceptile was with my Whimsicott. The moves I brought in were Taunt, Tailwind, Moonblast and Charm. I managed to stall it by using Taunt and lowering the heck out of its Attack with Charm.

Mine's a Physical Unaware Clefable with ShellBell Max Attack Stat and Defense Stat; Play Rough, Cosmic Power, Moonlight, Psych Up,...Trick is to do Cosmic Power + Play Rough until Sceptile will nullify your buff, then do a Psych Up to copy its Stats Boost (this should be before it procs the shield), then cosmic power again to raise def, then you can do the rest with play rough until you Tera, moonlight is just for Coverage in case it crits with leaf blade

[@Breaded6]

Draining kiss 3x Tera Reflect Calm mind 2x Draining kiss

[@paytonhansen]

I did a fighting tera Annihilape build with max attack and hp holding the metronome. Moves were taunt, focus energy, bulk up, and drain punch. Taunt turn one and then when needed to prevent dragon dance, drain punch until he removes stat changes from player’s side, then focus energy and bulk up to +6, then drain punch until you win. I did have a bellibolt that paralyzed him that helped, but I think it would have worked without it. Didn’t have to reset once because he crit me at +6 attack from dragon dance (can’t taunt when his shield is up), but got it 2nd try

[@derrickjennings8304]

I have one for this Tera Raid: I got Septile first try. Skeledirge Type: Fire/Ghost Tera Type: Fairy Ability: Unaware Nature: Modest Item: Shell Bell Stats: HP- 412 Sp. Atk- 350 Atk- 167 Sp.

a tip that just happened to me Sceptile got paralysed for a time due to a t-wave from Umbreon which dose help quite a bit also do three calm minds for step 4 instead of two I did two at first but barely did any damage a third helped out a lot though

[@swagmaster699]

Didn't have a Clefable so I used my Enamorus with fairy terra type from Legends Arceus with basically the same moveset except instead of protect I used iron defense.

[@SpikeRosered]

Fairy Tera Magearna holding a Cover Cloak (for thunder punch) worked just fine. Iron Defense after stat reset, soul heart will max special attack by itself, use draining kiss until shield break. Then use her unique move to one shot him.

[@NebulaDark]

What Austin forgot to mention in the video is you need PP up

[@moonfrost774]

I did it with classic iron hands. 3x defense yell, belly drum and than drainpunch Till death. Item metronom attack and health maxed out.

[@cursedstarflight]

aaand i checked in just the day after it ended, excellent

[@chriscunningham6401]

I ran Skeledirge with Unaware instead. Resisting the Grass with Fire while setting up was useful. Tera Fairy. Torch Song, Tera Blast, Will-O-Wisp, and Protect.

[@FireheartSamurai]

Alright I’m gonna have to either bust out my Tera Fairy Gardevoir or Tera Fair Flutter Mane build to counter this 7 Star Tera Raid.

[@autumbreeze1129]

Took 4 tries because I needed to increase the number of Draining Kisses PP and because I twice messed up, but got it in the end. It's risky but, if you play it right, you can actually get 3 Calm Minds in before chaining Draining Kisses

[@Jetfox967]

This raid feels as difficult as the Mewtwo raid since Sceptile and Mewtwo both have a status move that allows them to power themselves up in an attempt to KO you or your allies.

[@nedrostram2360]

This raid is actually very easy in comparison. Mewtwo is almost impossible to do solo, and even then you need the right RNG.

[@andrewanderson2258]

How did you get the status of the pokemon during battle that shows the up arrows?

[@82MPN]

I also did solo Clefable. (Tank build, damage was still good) 252 HP / 252 DEF / 6 SP.ATK (Bold Nature) Calm Mind Protect Draining Kiss Moonblast Turn 1: calm mind Turns till player reset: Draining Kiss / Moonblastb (to have 3 tera charges+max HP) Player reset turn: Protect -One attack to get the tera charge back -Tera(fairy) Calm Mind / Draining Kiss (setup turns for 6 SP. ATK + max HP) -MOONBLAST.... finished

[@BloodyStigmata]

I used terra-fairy Skeledirge myself. 252 HP/SPA -- Unaware -- Shell Bell -- Terra Blast/Torch Song/Slack Off/Protect. It's a little more involved and not as easy as the Clefable build but works fine.

[@nedrostram2360]

I also used Skeledirge and honestly it’s too slow compared to Clefable.

[@BoldAndBrash5683]

As of Sceptile, there are 7 starters available without the mightiest mark: Feraligatr Torterra Infernape Incineroar Meowscarada Skeledirge Quaquaval And the only type unused currently is dark.

[@Themacattack1209]

Probably Dark Feraligatr if any of them get that type.

[@ARabidPie]

Last three were water, fire, grass starters, they will probably save the Paldea starters for last, and incineroar is infamous in competitive so will probably be the odd one out between the other two fire types and get a special highlight, and skeledirge will be a nightmare due to torch song buffs and they'll have just done another fire type before hand so it will probably send that trio out with a bang. They'll probably put in another paradox event or something like that before the paldea trio. There will probably be a big event after that since all the starters will be done and it will have been two years post launch, probably legendaries. So my guess for the order is: Feraligatr Infernape Torterra Incineroar Special Event (iron valiant/roaring moon?) Quaquaval Meowscarada Sekeledirge Special Event (legendaries?)

[@DragonPupil-dm7it]

I solo'd Sceptile with Clefable, too. Here's the build I used Clefairy with Fairy Tera Moves: Draining Kiss Protect Calm Mind Moonblast Held Item: Expert Belt Max Special Attack & Defense Calm Nature Ability: Unaware (Note: Make sure to have NPCs that have Pokemon, such as Staraptor, Paldean Tauros, and Arcanine, with Intimate to lower Sceptile's Attack. Also, DO NOT bring the NPC with Arboliva since it'll boost Sceptile's Leaf Blade via Grassy Terrain.)

[@turbo-trex6163]

Intimidate won't matter if you're using an Unaware Pokemon like Clefairy or Clefable, since they ignore those stat drops on the opponent.

[@stevenleonmusic]

Arboliva is the worst damned AI NPC in the game. It's stupid ability almost NEVER does anything but screw up the whole raid-either it overwrites the terrain I really want or boost the boss's damage. And I never see it on the rare chance I'm actually using grass offensively in a raid.

[@nedrostram2360]

I would use Modest/Bold Clefable instead with a Metronome and the following moves: Calm Mind, Draining Kiss, Reflect, and Protect. T1-3: Draining Kiss to build Tera gauge T4: Tera Fairy Reflect Sceptile ressts abilities/stats T5: Protect T6+: Calm Mind until at least +3 Special Attack and then spam Draining Kiss

[@AudioGAWD]

So we all assumed a special attacker. When saw the lead storm out the gate, i already realized this was an L lol
