Bronzong Leads as Top Counter in Ice Empoleon Tera Raid Event

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players prepare for two rounds of challenging battles against Ice Empoleon, armed with strategies to negate its Competitive ability.

• Bronzong is highlighted as an effective solo counter for the Ice Empoleon 7-star Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, utilizing a specific build with Fighting Tera Type and moves like Skill Swap and Body Press.
• The Ice Empoleon Tera Raid event will run in two rounds, from February 2 to February 4, and from February 9 to February 11, 2024, featuring Empoleon with the Ice Tera-type and the Competitive ability.
• Players are advised to avoid using moves that lower stats to prevent activating Empoleon's Competitive ability, which sharply boosts its Special Attack stat.
• Other recommended counters include Gholdengo with a Steel Tera Type and Iron Hands with a Fighting Tera Type, both equipped with specific moves and held items for optimal performance.
• Empoleon cannot be encountered in its Shiny form during the Tera Raid battles, but players can breed it for a chance to encounter a Shiny Piplup.
