Blaziken is the final evolution of everyone’s favorite Gen 3 chicken, Torchic. This Fire/Fighting Type is a formidable foe, made even more dangerous with its Flying Tera Type. If you’re struggling, let me show you how to beat the 7-star Blaziken Tera Raid inPokemon Scarlet and Violet.

How to beat the Blaziken Tera Raid
The Flying Tera type gives Blaziken a ton of coverage it wouldn’t usually have. This Pokemon also has a move pool that shuts down many traditionally strong raid options. Keep in mind that Tera Raid Pokemon have more moves than usual, so here’s what you’re up against:
Blaziken Moveset
Tera Type: Flying
If you’re hoping to lean on Annihialape this time around, it simply won’t work. Blaziken will spam Brave Bird, which will kill Annihialape in a single hit, even if it’s perfectly trained. Fortunately, we can use Bellibolt to take down Blaziken, and it’s so strong that you can even do it solo.
Here’s the Moveset I recommend for Bellibolt.
Bellibolt Moveset
Tera Type:ElectricNature:ModestAbility:ElectromorphosisHeld Item:Magnet
You can spamParabolic Chargefor this battle, and the strategy doesn’t get more advanced than that. Parabolic Charge heals whenever it hits, and as long as you remember to Terrastalize as early as possible, you should be fine. TheElectromorphosisAbility increases the power of Bellibolt’s next Electric attack whenever it gets hit. As you’re using Parabolic Charge repeatedly, you’ll hit hard enough to take Blaziken out before the time runs out.
How to beat the Blaziken Tera Raid solo
You can use the same build I’ve listed above, and I can confirm this works because I beat Blaziken with AI teammates on my 1st attempt. You may want to be more vigilant and set up withElectric Terrain.That said, I managed to beat Blaziken with a suboptimal setup, so there is some room for error.
Blaziken can start spamming moves like Bulk Up, which can pose a severe problem. From my limited testing,this seems to happen less often if Bellibolt isn’t holding an item.I can’t confirm this 100%, but try it without a held item if the strategy isn’t working.
Can I use any other Pokemon to beat Blaziken?
While I’ve not tested it myself, other Trainers have reported similar results usingMiraidoninstead of Bellibolt. Once again,Parabolic Chargeis the move to go for, and you may use Electro Drift if Miraidon is at max HP.
