Learn everything ab🅷out the mysterious Stellar Tera-type in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Fortunately 🅘— or unfortunately depending on your view — the raid boss eschews using its naturally high stats to sweep through raid parties in favor of using the very annoying strategy of Sing and Encore, something that's very hard to deal with in raids. It's not an impossible hurdle, however, and a well-prepared trainer can navigate Primarina's traps and come out on top.

Event Information

This event runs until May 12, and will come back from May 17 to May 19. You can catch one Primarina from this event that will have the ability Liquid Voice and Mightiest Mark.

If you're having trouble getting supplies like Tera Shards and Exp Candies, there will also be increased Blissey Raids you can grind during the second🐬 week of the event.

You can also get the TM for Encore once after beating the raid for the first time.

Primarina's moveset is very gimmicky. It immediately 𝄹hits you with Sing to put your Pokemon to sleep, and it has Encore to lock you into one move for three whole turns.

On top of being a very tricky build, it's packing very strong special moves like Surf, Sparkling Aria, Moonblast, and Psychic to hit you while you're vulnerable.

If you're on a team, set-up Pokemon with Light Screen and Electric Terrain will be very useful to reduce damage and prevent sleep.

You can also use the Cheer function to heal Sleep, but keep in mind e꧙ach player can only use it three times. If you're playing solo or random online raids, you'll need to be more careful.

The Best Pokemon To Solo Primarina

Gholdengo is amazing at soloing Primarina if you don't want to go through the hassle of online raids. Its ability Good As Gold makes it immune to Encore and Sing, it can hit hard with STAB Flash Cannon, a✤nd being a Spﷺecial Attacker isn't a hindrance, because Primarina doesn't raise its stats.

On top of that, its Steel typing means Primarina won't use Psychic or Moonblast, s✱o you don't have to worry about those stat drops.

Use the following build:

Ability

Nature

Held Item

EVs

Moveset

Tera Type

Good As Gold

Modest

Shell Bell

252 Sp. Atk/252 Sp. Def/6 HP

Nasty Plot, Flash Cannon, Light Screen

Steel

As soon as the raid starts, open with Light Screen, then use three Nasty Plots to max out your Special Attack. From here, use Flash Cannon until Primarina resets its own stats.

Be careful here, as this means the next turn it's going to reset your stats, and more importantly, disable your Good As Gold.

Primarina will hit you with either Sing or Encore here.

If it uses Sing, use a healing cheer to heal the sleep, then set up Light Screen and set up again. Terastalize when you can, and you're free to spam Flash Cannon until Primarina faints.

If it uses Encore, you have a couple of options based on the last move you used.

If it was Flash Cannon, just keep spamming it until Encore wears off to fill up your Tera Orb.

You can check how many uses of Encore you have left on🍃 the Status screen.

If it was Light Screen, use your Attack and Defense cheers to waste the Encore while boosting your stats.

If it was Nasty Plot, continue setting up and then use a Defense cheer on the last turn.

Whatever happens, once you're through that, Primarina won't turn off your ability again, and you're free to set up and spam Flash Cannon.

In a 𝔉solo raid, you can faint once and still have enough time to defeat Prཧimarina once you return.

You don't need to worry about Light Screen once you're at max Special Attack and Terastalized, you'll be doing enough damage to heal everything ba🌜ck with the Shell Bellܫ.

Make sure you've 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:maxed out your Gholdengho's IVs to give you the edge, and use a PP Up on Flash Cannon. Other than that this strategy is pretty reliable fo🐈r soloing Primarina if you want to grind Tera Shards and Herba Mystica after catching it.
