Overview

• 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.
