Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Player One-Shots Tera Raid Venusaur Using Magikarp
03.03.2024 - 23:11 / gamerant.com / James Ratcliff / Nintendo
Using strategies they have a reputation for making, a Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player created one for taking down Venusaur the Unrivaled in a single strike, using their trusty Magikarp to land the finishing blow. The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player posted their strategy on social media alongside a video clip of the battle.
Known as the Seed Pokemon, Venusaur is the first of three consecutive Seven-Star Tera raid battles that were announced during a Pokemon Presents broadcast that took place on Pokemon Day. At the time of writing, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players have until the evening of Tuesday, March 5, to face this powerful Kanto starter Pokemon, which has the Ground-type as its Tera type. Though its type is changed to Ground for the battle, Venusaur the Unrivaled will make short work of unprepared Pokemon teams since it will immediately use three of its seven moves at the start. Venusaur will use Sunny Day and Growth to bolster its potency, and then use Petal Blizzard, a physical Grass-type attack that can take down any Pokemon with weak defenses.
Though some strategies for taking down Venusaur have become popular, one Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player returned to using the methods that gave them a reputation. A Reddit user named Nommable123 posted a video on the r/PokemonScarletViolet subreddit of their successful attempt at defeating Venusaur with their prized Shiny Magikarp as the star. Similarly to their Blaziken Tera raid strategy, Nommable123 had three other Pokemon take the field in supporting roles. These Pokemon were Medicham, Golduck, and Thundurus. These Pokemon's roles were to take down Venusaur's defenses, buff the Magikarp after Venusaur used its stat-resetting maneuver early in the fight, and use healing cheers if needed.
Knowing what to bring into Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera raid battles, the OP said that Venusaur's Sunny Day was negated by Golduck's Cloud Nine, which made Petal Blizzard less potent. Thundurus and Golduck then used Eerie Impulse and Screech to lower Venusaur's stats, while the Medicham used Light Screen and a Defense Cheer to keep their defenses up. After buffing the Magikarp with Swagger and Skill Swap, the Fish Pokemon used Flail on its teammates to build Tera charges and power up its Metronome item. Once it Terastallized later in the battle, Magikarp took down Venusaur with a single blow.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players will not have much longer to try a similar strategy, as Venusaur will depart and Blastoise will take the field starting on Tuesday, March 5, at 6:00 PM Eastern. It remains to be seen what strategies Pokemon trainers will use against the Shellfish Pokemon.

How to evolve Finizen into Palafin in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
There are tons of Pokémon to catch and evolve in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but few are as quirky as Finizen. This water-type creature can evolve in Palafin — but the process doesn't work like most other evolutions in Scarlet and Violet. Instead of simply bringing them into battle and having them evolve at a set level, there's a very specific action you need to take that'll trigger the Finizen to Palafin evolution. And unless you know how it works, you'll be stuck with Finizen for your entire journey.
