Delphox with the Mightiest Mark is coming to Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet black crystal Tera Raid Battles! You can try putting a stop to Delphox’s Mystical Fire from Thursday, July 6, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. to Sunday, July 9, 2023, at 4:59 p.m. PDT, then again from Thursday, July 13, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. to Sunday, July 16, 2023, at 4:59 p.m. PDT. Delphox cannot normally be encountered in Paldea, and the Delphox appearing during this event has Fairy as its Tera Type. Be prepared—this Pokémon is a formidable foe, and it’s got the Mightiest Mark to prove it!

What is the strategy for this one? Any suggestions?

Possibly Heatran given its ability Flash Fire? Maybe a tera type of steel.

some article recommended a steel-tera coalossal with flash fire holding a choice band, and also a steel-tera Bronzong with heatproof ability and holding a lagging tail. seems like steel tera with some ability to negate fire is the way to go

Yeah, I think you're right. I just completed the raid with a steel tera heatran. Be prepared though. I got hit with a lot of psychic moves. They aren't effective but I didn't get many fire type attacks against me

What strategies is everyone running??? Cos I don’t want to join a random raid and get the team butchered.

[–] EddieTee77 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm also wondering that. I've seen Heatran mentioned as an option. Any other suggestions?

[–] marshy_marshy 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve seen Heatran been thrown about quite a bit. @Myr mentioned steel Tera Coalossal or Bronzong would work (make sure they have flash fire/heatproof)

I can confirm I just won the raid with a steel tera heatran

Same here. Went into a random raid, took 2 heatrans, an armorouge and a cerulidge.

Has anyone noticed their Delphox is female, or is it just me???
