The BEST Pokemon to SOLO 7 Star INCINEROAR Tera Raid in Scarlet and Violet

[@Osirus]

What builds have you been using to take down 7 star incineroar?

[@NeverMeltIce]

Glad to see you’re looking better my friend! 😊 Very much eager to join-in on one of your popular livestreams again…maybe to finally get that Shiny Deoxys. 😊😍

[@FaolanMacDuncan]

I beat it not too long ago with my Dachsbun

[@EldritchErik94]

I actually used this same exact build. Had it for a while and this was the perfect raid for it.

[@Dekugi_YT]

I defeated incenroar with hatterene

[@mtbelley]

Basically the same, I gave it Tera Blast to use once Malamar's stats are maxed.

[@SimmyBoySlim]

The build worked like a charm. I was hit with a crit after using Skill Swap, then I just used Reflect before I was knocked out and reset with Contrary. Then I used Superpower 8 times and won. Thanks again!

[@giacomobongrazio]

Very clever! Thought I succeeded on my first attempt with a Stellar type. With Contrary, Tera Blast keeps boosting the attack every single time, and it's super effective. The only downside is that Dark type moves are neutral rather than resisted (when Tera'd) but I succeeded nonetheless.

[@kimnamjoon8597]

OMFG!? Thank u so fuckn much :"))...... I have been tryin like three times to get this pokemon and couldn't get it but I did wat u did and that was put Stellar Type on ma Malamar and I got it first try on Stellar SO THANX SO MUCH :>

[@towelnedved3149]

I solod it with Kommo-O on first try. Iron defense/body press/taunt/breaking swipe Taunt to stop bulk ups, breaking swipe to lower their attack while powering up tera orb, iron defense to set up, body press to damage. Max hp/max def with Lefties and tera fighting

[@kashrilakehnawala5700]

What were the EVs ?

[@utopia999]

@@kashrilakehnawala5700he says them max hp max def

[@JRR31]

​@@kashrilakehnawala5700 If he says "max" for any stat, that means it's 252/252

[@4nderone]

If you really want to have more fun give Malamar the move Swagger, and watch Incineroar’s Attack stats drop two stages each time and get confused on top of it.

[@wutangclan333]

Replace reflect with swagger?

[@4nderone]

@@wutangclan333 Yes, that’s what I did.

[@darthkronical3390]

Swagger doesnt drop attack, it raises it. Nevermind didnt factor in contrary.

[@starchildluke]

@@darthkronical3390 after skill swapping contrary, it'll decrease its attack

[@jonathanaarnold]

Thanks- that was fun! Didn't even need EV training

[@kirailazuli2941]

Once more, your brilliant builds strike back hard against a tough battle! This one admittedly gave me difficulty in the beginning because of the needs for chance working in our favor. It took me about five resets for the plan to follow this setup! Incineroar is one of my favorite Fire type starters next to Delphox, so I'm happy this worked better than I expected! Now I have all the Alola starters from the 7 star battles!

[@teramawl6962]

You can also run Dachsbun with well baked ability, tera fighting, 252 hp and def with 4 going into attk, moveset I used was body press, charm, misty terrain and protect.

[@bradenator8]

this is truly the best strat. i just beat it and i forgot to change my tera type from dark to fighting and still won with full health

[@brandonespinoza9279]

I used Tera Stellar Rapid-Strike Urshifu (Fighting/Water) as I used DaniSoloRaids’ (Fellow PokéTuber) suggestion with Impish Nature, Max EVs in HP & Defense with Drain Punch, Bulk Up, Focus Energy and Taunt, holding Metronome (her original suggestion was Razor Claw) as the way I took it on was Taunting Incineroar every few turns, while setting up with Bulk Up, after it nullifies all stats at 90% Time Remaining in the Raid (it’ll only do it once, early on) Max Out Attack & Defense with Bulk Up, and use Drain Punch, Terastallize, as it came in clutch, even while grocery shopping with my younger sister, as surprisingly, it worked, by being that unconventional of a Pokémon Raid Trainer.

[@A-an.]

That Mallamar set is exactly what I used before I watched this. Very consistent.

[@PTVargo]

Just used Primarina Support build, you have to hope people bring better counters, but I just through up heals and chilling water and nobody died, almost died once but was able to recover. And keep the party alive for the down.

[@johnf6263]

I'm gonna try Unaware Clefable since it will ignore Incineroar's Bulk Up boosts. Moveset of Reflect, Psych Up, Play Rough, and Protect.

[@Razortail2000]

Just ran Clefable with fighting tera with the psych up plan. Just moonlight and protect juggled until his stats were ripe for copying. Then Metronome item boosted Drain punch until it screams uncle!

[@zeromechdragon700]

I have a special attacker one as well it works but the raid was kinda glitchy for me

[@kilianlindlbauer8277]

I was using the dondozo Clefable with moonblast, draining kiss, calm mind and cosmic power. Item was shell bell, although covert cloak isn't bad either to prevent burn. You need at least 2 cosmic power up and boost to plus 5, ideally plus 6 spatk. Draining kiss until your stats were reset, then teo cosmic power, drain kiss for recovery, boost with calm mind and heal with draining kiss. You need two cosmic power to have a net positive with shell bell recovery and plus 4/5 moonblast

[@psyLien.]

Why does Psych Up fail when Incineroar has 6+ stages Atk and Def and I have 0, I thought that was the strat people do ?

[@zeromechdragon700]

@@psyLien. It's bugged right now but it does work pre shield

[@malnakeeb22]

Assuming you don’t get taunted at the start, this strat is rock solid and you’ll clear it in half the time

[@Bread-jf5do]

Thank you for the build! I knew I save my contrary inkay for a reason 😅 I actually had to do this twice, the first time I got taunted. The second time I got burned and actually died twice because I had a darkest lariat crit me. I ended up setting up reflect as I came back and terastalized, just in case. But even without hyper training and pp max AND being burned and knocked out twice, I was still able to get it. If I end up doing it again I'll probably set up reflect after immediately dying the first time just to be safe and save time.

[@Ryder1062]

Cheers, man! This was a really simple guide to follow and very effective. I've done 4, and i started playing 20 mins ago. Thanks again

[@giovanyrodriguezcruz2859]

Thanks you are the real pokemon master 😂 every time I use all your builds always beat them thanks 🙏

[@pepagacy]

Great build as usual. Had to go a bit off script as the Incineroar simply refused to KO my Malamar. I was able to use Terra Blast to build Terra charge until the inevitable KO, then immediately went Terra Fighting after recovering and finished the Incineroar raid easily.

[@Notmanyusernamesleft]

Thanks for putting out a strong solo option so quickly. (This is fantastic, totally gonna grind the stupid cat.)

[@kobotics227]

this build worked like a charm, and it's really quick to run through the raid with! I just have one question: Why was the reflect needed? Maybe I'm missing something here, but I never end up using it, not even when I'm re-doing the raid... multiple times.

[@fatzmcgee]

I had great RNG. Used a total of 7 attacks, 2 tera blasts before knock down then finished up with 5 superpowers. Great build.

[@IOSALive]

Osirus, nice work, keep the videos coming

[@ayogeeks]

Thanks as always. Look forward to more streams in the future!

[@anirai1516]

Thank you! I used the Malamar build and got it on the first try.

[@TheDyingFox]

For Level 2 Dark Raid food effect to unlock 2 more reward slots: [4 Herbed Sausages] [2 Fired Fillet] [4 Pepper] I Managed to win with the same Dondozo setup (the Dondozo from the event) I used against event Dragonite Chilling Water Body Press Protect Curse (gained by Dondozo have a free "move" space, while holding Mirror Herb, throw Dondozo out and a Pokémon with Curse during a picnic, then just cancel picnic and take the Mirror Herb off, no DLC needed) Max EV on HP and Def Hold: Metronome Ability: Unaware (Hidden Ability) 3 Chilling Water Protect on Ability Reset Terastallize into "Fighting Type" and the move "Curse" Use total of 6 Curses Use Cheer Heal when low HP Body Press it into oblivion. (10PP is enough) NPC Helper: Gardevoir (Life Dew) or Arboliva (Grass Terrain) If Incineroar does NOT Crit AND Cheer Heal Gives back more than 100 HP each time, then the Healer NPCs are not needed. With this build setup I didn't have to watch my Pokémon faint during the raid as that always feels like a fail and so I hard reset the game. EDIT: Fixed some misspellings of Dondozo and added Terastallize Fighting Type and the part of not having to watch my Pokémon faint during the raid.

[@fabiojr64]

Thx for the high quality videos as always!

[@BlackKoiRecords]

Just subbed, the effort and strategy you put into these videos is invaluable and incredible 👏

[@willmikemadeit]

Thanks for the great build video...took it down solo on my first attempt!

[@just4funproductions579]

Your builds always work. Thank you❤

[@DollGirlSelina]

you can also do this with Unaware Clefable with psych up granted its alot slower but done right you really don't have to fear damage

[@RJays16]

Love this build! Very consistent and great for farming. Thanks for sharing!

[@iamthewatson]

Stellar terra on this Malamar is a much better option for 2 reasons: - Incase you get into the odd situation where you run out of super powers, your stellar terra will both boost your attack & still be super effective. - When you stellar terra Malamar, the AI will make the Incin use Darkest Lariat 90% of the time due to it being its highest damage output. So you don't have to worry about getting burned nearly as much

[@jujudelaplaya]

Excellent walkthrough, I had tried the raid at least 20 times and failed and then to this very easy Malmar setup and won first time

[@wutangclan333]

Instead of skill swapping would topsy turvy move work instead?

[@DoctorProfessorDai]

Lol first time I started this raid I reset immediately because the NPCs were Tauros and Arcanine.

[@Milady_M]

This build is brilliant! It maximizes the Contrary ability potential and shows off what a brilliant strategy can do. I just have to try it. Thank you so much for a brilliant and fun build. It's nice to branch out to Pokémon that don't get a lot of use or credit but have good potential too

[@travisowens8905]

i used this strat against the blaziken to the same effect

[@Milady_M]

@@travisowens8905 Awesome

[@jonplukehughes2807]

Thank you, I had some trouble with this one till I tried this Malamar build, worked on the 3rd attempt

[@1884ja]

Man what a dope guide 😅done it in one turn lol

[@hudsonfrank1121]

You can put your device into airplane mode so it can not internet connect or force coonect. Then farm away when you can. I do this when they do these spam pop up events and I work weekends so I can not get to them until the middle of the week when I have my days off. That way you won't miss it and have plenty of time to farm it.

[@SheenaMalfoy]

You don't need to put it into airplane mode, just don't connect it to the internet. Been using this tactic for years to keep events long past their natural expiry date.

[@karamjit14]

Thanks! Got it first try with malamar

[@subzero212]

Dondozo was super easy.. body press and curse did just fine.. fighting tera.. just hit it with liquidation 3x until it cleared me and the tera curse bodypress until it was dead. Shell bell.. EZPZ

[@MA13USN-Vet]

Thank you for posting this! It worked extremely well. I did have to reset a few times because of taunt, but once RNG worked in my favor it was very easy.

[@DaveAkaCeladris]

Brilliant! Thanks so much!

[@paquetdemouchoir]

I had one hour for lunch pause and an already 6IV Malamar, quick build, quick raid. THANK YOU ❤

[@kraeggod13]

Brilliant Build! Thank you!!!

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

So gonna be running up with a Koraidon with Bulk-up, Sunny day, Drain Punch and Collison course, Tera Fighting. Need to be max Atk/Def with 4 HP as this gives the most bulk. Only thing thats gonna be scary is if Incen gets to +6 as in Sun, you need +4 def to not get One shot by Flare Blitz, obviously not gonna fully happen. Item is either gonna be mental herb to shake the taunt off, or Clear Am to negate the Intimidate, will edit when completed

[@pketr5]

Don't run this in online raids. Sun will boost incineror's flare blitz and kill the other team members.

[@iniassmith3434]

thank you for the info! I wasn’t able to solo it because I didn’t hyper train and was getting merked but I ended up getting carried by a team and used this to hang lol 😎

[@TheYASHRAY]

Thank you, it worked out for me.

[@ericfischer8295]

So I’ve tried 10 times with Malabar in the last 2 days So far incineroar has taunted me 9 out 10 times

[@StarPebblit]

right???? rng gives youtubers special privilege but when it comes to us, we get the worst rng. it's like everything is rigged.

[@Plaggy77]

Amazing set up. Thank man!!!

[@Learii]

nice this work actully work

[@RaikaSTi]

Thanks for this! Worked perfectly!

[@L337M4573RK]

Big Note: Make sure you don't have any Pokémon that use Intimidate on your side of the field. They'll make Incineroar's attacks hit much harder.

[@cobaltprime9467]

Anyone else disappointed that Primarina and Incineroar just have their secondary types as their Tera type? These have been treated as 3rd types(or 2nd for the monotypes) with the exception of the Hisui starters. Primarina I kinda get because the closest for a 3rd type I could think of is ice and that was used on Empoleon not long ago. But Incineroar could’ve obviously been fighting Tera. It’s overdone but in this case it makes sense, it’s a wrestler.

[@leo_king94]

Whoa dudes I just beat this raid with this exact build and it was a walk in the park, thank you Osirus

[@ThePokemonfan1993]

Side note: Don't get Gardivior as an ally, if the objective is death, it will use life dew and screw it all up

[@Tashenubast]

I won every time with this except with the green tree because he puts the thing out that keeps r saving me and I can't seem to die. This build is great. Thank you.

[@TizPhoenixMXW]

Thank you for how to do this Incineroar tera raid Keep up Good work Osiris👍🏽

[@dien00b31]

That was a first try for me and my Malamar Apollyon ❤

[@JayThePhoenix91]

I would assume Iron Hands would work, get 3 attacks off, go down, come back and tera fighting belly drum then drain punch with shell bell?

[@JayThePhoenix91]

...it doesn't lol

[@Quix0tic707]

Koraidon seems solid if you don’t get Taunted. SD, Taunt, Drain Punch, Collision Course

[@PurifiedShino]

I used this exact set for the Dragonite!

[@katydutt2366]

In Violet I didn’t get any HM but when I caught it in my scarlet version I got 5 HM!!! Plus an ability capsule! I had exactly the same build for each battle too!

[@Jester25ft]

This one made this raid so EASY! Thank you!

[@carlosbranco1603]

Man what a freekin legend thanks this build worked super nice even with my dark tera malamar I just smoked this cat GG's bro!

[@betacrest10]

Definitely gonna use this Malamar build. Need to hit that skill swap contrary to incineroar then get fainted or it's redo the raid if i get hit with taunt. Update: Worked nicely just now. Got it on the first try on both SV carts.

[@manuelvicente9857]

I have restarted this raid 12 times, all 12 times he used taunt on my Malamar. 😑

Thank you for the build! It was super easy! The first 5 battles it Taunted me. But that 6th battle I was able to win.

[@MegaMega95]

Thanks!

[@Mandriletta]

One of the most clever biuld i've ever seen

[@megaman917]

This was solid as long as I don't get hit by Taunt, and Gardevoir isn't one of my partners. Gardevoir kept healing everyone when i'm trying to faint.

[@XIII_Vanitas]

Pretty clever start!

[@mdt6176]

I did it! Thank u, Lee. ❤🎉😊

[@coltonandjen]

This strat is good, but it's annoying with CPUs, especially when the game is insistent on giving you Bellibolt

[@ElementalResistant]

Cool strat, I went the painful route and brute forced it with Galarian Zapdos, it was a close one on the timer but since it takes so long for the shield to go up, and since it doesn't drop your stats again after the initial drop i was able to bulk up and taunt it a few times to get maxed out, eventually the calculation swaps from flare blitz to darkest lariat for terastal stab, so nice to get to the point where you dont need to worry about burns. Being EQ immune is nice, theres a few turns where it fires 2 moves that really sucked but with bulky investment clutched it out. I think they did a good job designing this raid, its pretty mean and instantly shuts down any benefit contrary / defiant would give. Not a pushover, well unless you figure out skill swap contrary then it becomes a laughing stock. I wonder if TPC had this in mind as a way to beat it? I don't think they really know the best approaches, but they must test to find ways to beat it and make sure its tuned to be doable. It feels very deliberate and generous with when it does stat drops and shield boosts to counteract it having bulk up.

[@jamesstone404]

Lee, I hope you’re doing well! Thanks for the videos, but I really miss the live streams. Hope they return soon.

[@starchildluke]

I'm getting a Keegan era vibe with the fit 😂

So, this build is fantastic. To the point that, I forgot to put the shell bell on, and I STILL beat it on the first try 😂

My battle went nothing like yours in that i didn't die until he was already terastilized, but it was still an easy win. Thanks.

[@briansloan1713]

I got it with an archaludon focus energy set but I got pretty lucky I think

[@mechwarrior15]

Dachbun for teams. Well baked ability, play rough, howl, charm and fourth move is up to you.

[@axs4385]

It’s hard with Dachsbun. He refuses to hit with Fire moves, will spam Bulk Up and attack with Iron Head. If you’re lucky you can try Psych Up to copy his Atk + Def increases after he resets everyone’s stats at the 90% time remaining (that is if you don’t get taunted).

[@mechwarrior15]

@@axs4385 I didn’t have any problems. He kept missing iron heads and didn’t use bulk up until near the end.
