How to Defeat 7-Star Dark Feraligatr, Raid Guide! Best Counters in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet

[@JosueOnYT]

Hi, hello. Editing in the video is on point. Excited to get these built up!

[@kuyahdaemon]

I like how you edited, or lackthereof, in this video. Feels more casual haha Thanks as always Steve!!

[@PKMNcast]

I didn’t edit this one!

[@BuffaloFeather]

These videos are the best! Thank you again!

[@davidhower7095]

I built mine after seeing what moves it has, and I came up with a pretty sick counter. Tera Bug Crawdaunt. It’s resistant/immune to all four default moves it has, and Tera Bug resists Earthquake. I put 188 EVs in Speed so it outspeeds Feraligatr by 1 point, 252 in Defense, and the rest in HP. It has a +ATK nature and Adaptability. It’s holding Leftovers. Moveset includes Chilling Water, Swords Dance, X-Scissor, and Iron Defense. If you’re playing online and expect to see lots of Koraidons, Tera Fairy with Tera Blast works just as well and resists Crunch while Liquidation is nerfed by sun. I opted for Bug because the stat-clear is tied to his remaining HP, not the timer, and it’ll do more when not Terastalized. I’m pretty proud of it. T1 Defense Cheer keeps randoms alive, and outspeeding with Chilling Water helps both you and them. I tried a variation with Tera Stellar to keep the resistances, but it wasn’t doing a whole lot of damage through shield even at +6 thanks to losing Adaptability.

[@PKMNcast]

You all need to stop using Leftovers. It’s one of the worst raid held items. There is no reason not to default to Shell Bell for most builds.

[@davidhower7095]

@ I tried Shell Bell first. I wasn’t dealing enough damage fast enough to offset the chip I was taking. The Leftovers works way better in this situation

[@Harerazer]

I really want to use Chesnaught because everybody hates him so much but Old Man Weezing is one of my faves. It'll depend on who the randos use.

[@Harerazer]

Chesnaught easily solo'd it tho it helped that he stopped using Ice Punch when I Tera'd and went with Psychic Fangs. Thanks, Steve.

[@MNM_1064]

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Appreciate it🙏

[@RBGolbat]

1:12 Dragon Claw shouldn’t be affected by Sheer Force

[@myleswatts8062]

Yeah I was confused by this as well

[@Jurbski]

We corrected him later, but in all reality it's stronger than Breaking Swipe with Sheer Force so it doesn't really do anything to the builds.

[@PKMNcast]

Yeah it was a typo for breaking swipe, then we realized dragon claw was 2% stronger and never changed it

[@Jurbski]

Already watched this live, but watching it again for the algorithm o7

[@TheEvilRohanite]

Looking like another Malamar solo (Was gonna say assuming the Feraligatr uses SD or DD but actually Screech would work for Malamar too)

[@StevenNuthall]

Thanks for the video, any purely damage focused special attackers to pair with G. Weezing and take advantage of acid spray?

[@PKMNcast]

If no Rock Slide, Vikavolt!

[@sagaandtheraids]

It's kind of different but I'm feeling this Feraligatr gonna have Screech as main moveset and full use it. It would be very hard unless u have Clear Body or Soundproof as ability

[@calebklauzer3171]

My boy chesnaut! Or the support primarina which I think I have mostly built from a past raid.

[@oncebluemoon]

9:02 Go Imblankingonotherbodypressers, I choose you!

[@PKMNcast]

My favorite 🥰

[@VonCogwell]

I love these videos! pkmnLove

[@PKMNcast]

Thank you

[@venator-yv1gw]

Good show with the support Primarina. I forgot about Haze so I’ll add that to my Snow warning Ninetales. She has Aurora Veil, Dazzling Gleam (unless I find something else) Blizzard, and now Haze. ( unless again, if I find something else) I’ll need to find a light clay too since Dr. Google has informed me that it boosts Aurora Veil too

[@PKMNcast]

Open with Haze is a good call, yeah

[@venator-yv1gw]

@ unfortunately she can’t have Haze because reasons. So I’m doing Charm instead and then replace Blizzard with Chilling Water

[@PKMNcast]

This makes no sense. Charm doesn’t work through shield, Chilling Water does. Chilling Water also gets you to Tera Faster. Blizzard isn’t super effective, Fairy-types would do more damage as super effective. No point in running Veil as it will be shattered by Psychic Fangs.

[@venator-yv1gw]

@@PKMNcast lead with Veil, charm down to base attack, keep ‘em chill and then recast Veil. I don’t want to Tera anyway because I’m keeping ‘em weak not attacking.

[@veryprofessionalpokemontrainer]

Very Professional 👌

[@pointeplusplus]

Me missing Poplio CD is striking again! Maybe I’ll shiny hunt it in SaV 😊

[@RayalaVN]

Thanks for the video once again

[@PKMNcast]

Happy to help

[@barkumo]

Hope to get some raids in on Friday too. It is too bad this raid drops when it is time to take the kids trick-or-treating.

[@PKMNcast]

I’ll be around to help!

[@ArtsyJet]

I...don't have NSO currently so I have to do this alone. I will try the Chesnaught strat tho...I believe in old reliable himself.

[@PKMNcast]

Kommo-o or Arch probably better solo since you can spam Breaking Swipe

[@ArtsyJet]

@PKMNcast Oh, I actually completed it with Chesnaught. He worked like a dream on the second try. My first starter Pokémon was a lifesaver once again, old reliable. 👍🏽

[@Smuuler]

Does Azumarill with Belly Drum and Play rough work, or is Feraligator too strong?

[@PKMNcast]

It’s been 2 years, I have yet to see an Belly Drum Azu player survive an entire Raid unless their teammates bend over backwards to support only them

[@Smuuler]

@@PKMNcast So if i get someone to only support, is it liable?

[@PKMNcast]

Totally

[@mikebraun1404]

The light screen moment 😂

[@maxrbmc]

commenting, sharing with a friend, battling with my grandma

[@PKMNcast]

👑

[@rossmacdaddy]

So... wouldn't Keldeo be kind of amazing for this raid?

[@PKMNcast]

I’ve built one before and people complained in the comments that they didn’t have one.

[@ziostgamer]

What about Belly Drum Drain Punch Poliwrath?

[@Notmanyusernamesleft]

Reflect, burn, sun... more like Domestigator amiright?

[@supergluehotty]

Archaledon or registeel for the body press mons.

[@rossmacdaddy]

Feraligatr gets a ton of Ice moves...

[@PKMNcast]

And ice punch is the strongest and that was calculated

[@carryjay4673]

might have taunt don’t forget

[@PKMNcast]

Nothing to do to prevent that besides Taunting it first

[@azure_flash]

"ugly" lol 😆
