Koraidon shines bright with its offensive power and seven type resistances. With Orichalmum Pulse as its ability, Koraidon can reduce Water type damage, activate Protosynthesis for any Tera Raid allies, and strengthen Fire type moves. Koraidon will also power up from its ability, which is amazing thanks to its powerful moves.

Tinkaton can also learn Reflect, Light Screen, and Thunder Wave, making her a good partner for support and defense.
It helps to give Tinkaton Leftovers for health recovery or a Light Clay for increasing the turns Reflect and Light Screen are up.

Clodsire can learn Mud Slap which, while it doesn’t deal lots of damage, is able to lower the boss' accuracy by 1 stage with each hit. Since Clodsire is tanky enough to not get taken down any time soon, you’ll have plenty of time to lower the boss’s accuracy, making you and your allies less likely to get hit.

To add to this, Grimmsnarl’s Dark/Fairy typing makes it immune to Psyching and Dragon type moves. Grimmsnarl also has pretty good offensive stats, so teaching it moves like Foul Play Play Rough will help with taking down the boss.

Krookodile isn’t called the “Intimidation Pokemon” for nothing. It’s Grpund/Dark typing is good for having immunity to Electric and Psychic type moves, but this croc’s got way more bite than that.
Krookodile has a massive Attack stat that synergizes well with its hidden ability Anger point. This ability activates when Krookodile’s hit by a move with a critical hit, but here’s the best part: once this ability activates, it raises Krookodile’s Attack stat by 6 stages max! This ability even activates if Krookodile is hit when using Substitute.
Combine this with a move like Power Trip, which increases in damage based on the user’s raised stats, Krookodile becomes one heck of a powerhouse. Though even without Anger Point, it learns plenty of other solid moves like Bulk Up, Earthquake, and Scary Face to help out in Tera Raid boss fights.
Krookodile Strengths
- Proves its might with its high Attack stat
- Anger Point can boost its Attack to the max
- Immune to Electric and Psychic type attacks
10. Fezandipiti
This avian ally of The Loyal Three works best as a support for the team with moves like Charm for lowering the opponent's Attack and Light Screen for boosting the Special Defense of his allies. This lets you be a bit more flexible with your support since Tera Raid bosses will sometimes nullify its own or your own team’s stat changes, good or bad. Fezandipiti has high Special Defense and Speed, but is pretty good in its other offensive stats too, making it useful for moves like Moonblast and Acid Spray., which can lower an opponent’s Special Defense.
You’ll want to use an attacking move thanks to his ability, Toxic Chain. With Toxic Chain, any of Fezandipiti’s moves will have a chance to badly poison an opponent when the move hits them. When an opponent is badly poisoned, they’ll take some damage after each turn, and that damage will increase as each turn passes.

Venoshock doubles in power if the opponent is already poisoned, and Munkidori’s high Special Attack will definitely leave his opponent’s shocked
You can use Acid Spray to lower the opponent's Special Defense while getting Toxic Chain to kick in. When it does, the boss will be poisoned while having its Special Defense lowered, making Venoshock deal even more damage! Munkidori can even learn Nasty Plot to boost his Special Attack.

- Can learn Venoshock, which double in power if the opponent is poisoned

Ogerpon has lots of variety when it comes to Tera Raids. Ogerpon is a pure Grass type with the Teal Mask, but can turn into a Fire, Water, or Rock dual type with its masks. Her signature move, Ivy Cudgel, changes typing depending on the mask.
Teal Mask Ogerpon has the ability Defiant, which boosts her already high Attack stat for every stat that is lowered, and gets Embody Aspect which will boost her Speed when Terastallized. With her Attack stat raised and STAB, Ogerpon can use Horn Leech to deal big damage while healing and Ivy Cudgel for some powerful attacks. These attacks will hit a lot harder if you use Grassy Terrain beforehand.
Hearthflame Ogerpon’s ability is Moldbreaker, which lets her use moves regardless of the opponent’s ability. With her Fire typing, Ivy Cudgel gets an increase in power from Sunny Day and Ogerpon’s Synthesis will heal even more HP. Combined with Swords Dance, and another Attack boost from Embody Aspect, Ogerpon will blaze through whatever tricks a Tera Raid boss brings to the battlefield.
Wellspring Mask Ogerpon has Water Absorb, making her useful for Water Type Tera Raid bosses Terastallized into a different type. Ogerpon’s Ivy Cudgel benefits from a boost in Rain Dance and can heal from Horn Leech, making her especially good against Ground and Rock Tera Raids. Embody Aspect will boost her Special Defense too.
Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon gets Sturdy, letting her survive any powerful attacks. But Embody Aspect will boost her Defense and her Special Defense gets an increase during Sandstorm weather.
Also, her Grass/Rock typing covers most of Grass types weaknesses and using the Cornerstone Maskmask gives Ogerpon a strong boost in her Defense. This works with a move like Charm for lowering an opponent’s Attack stat. Bringing Swords Dance and Ivy Cudgel into the mix, Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon has a mix of good offense and defense.
Basically, Ogerpon is a very versatile Pokemon. Every form has its strengths and setbacks, so either of the four options is a good pick!
Ogerpon Strengths
