Mari's Tera Raid Guide #8 - Hisuian Samurott

Oh man, I shouldn't have said the last raids were easy. This one was a lot of pain

I come offering a solution in the shape of HA Lurantis, but it needs some specific NPCs to work. More under the cut

[usual reminder that I more than happily lend my pokèmon via Home to anyone who asks]

Lurantis lv. 100

Tera type: Grass

Ability: Contrary (hidden)

Item: Shell Bell

Nature: Impish/Relaxed/Lax (made it work with Adamant/Brave/Naughty but it's worse)

IVs: max HP, atk, def

EVs: 252 atk, 252 def, 4 HP

Moveset:

-Solar Blade (level up)

-Sunny Day (level up)

-Superpower (egg move) (PP up x1-3 optional but recommended)

-Worry Seed (egg move)

There are a lot of moving parts in this raid, and we have to be mindful of everything. First of all, the NPC partners.

We need AT LEAST one pokémon with Intimidate (Arcanine, Tauros, Staraptor)

One intimidator is NECESSARY (without it, you will ALWAYS die without even having the time to attack once. With only one Intimidate user in the roster you still have a chance of dying, but it's mostly due to RNG; if that happens, run from the raid - or let the time run out - and try again)

In addition, if you feel like resetting a bit more, you could look for one or more of the following:

-Arboliva (very welcome ability that heals you every turn and boosts Solar Blade's damage output by a good bit)

-one or both of the remaining Intimidate users

-a paralyzer (Dudunsparce, Umbreon, Bellibolt)

It's not that important to have good NPCs other than the one with Intimidate, but if you really want to have more control over them you can check this video with instructions for keeping the same set of NPCs (it's a Mewtwo raid video, but it has the instructions in the first 45 seconds or so. The trick itself works with any raid)

Usage:

Lurantis is weak to X-scissor. And it will always be the first of H. Samurott's moves after the scripted Swords Dance. There's a chance (don't ask me about % I don't do that) that it will OHKO you before you act; if that's the case, run from the raid and retry, it's so buggy that dying right now will make the raid unwinnable with this strategy. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Anyway, your first move will be Worry Seed, to take Samurott's stupidly op ability out of the equation for the rest of the battle. If you survive the turn, it will be with like 5-20 HP and there's a really good chance you're fainting right after that to the scripted Bulldoze; if not, it will be the following turn. Make your peace with it, and try not to waste a Superpower PP or a cheer on turn 2, it won't help you. Use a Solar Blade instead. Incidentally, the timing of this KO lets you skip the effects of the first player's stats wipe, which is good!

Once you're back in play, use 3 Superpowers to both charge the tera orb and boost your attack and defense. Don't do any more, it's not needed and you risk dying to a stray critical hit. Heal with the cheer if you need to (this is probably the most delicate phase of the raid, after turn 1), then use Sunny Day, heal again if you're at give or take 1/4HP or less, and only then terastallize and do some Solar Blades to break the shield (took me 3 of those on all tries).

When the shield is down, keep an eye open for the second player 's stats wipe. If it doesn't happen immediately, you should still have a turn of sun and you can drop an extra Solar Blade just because (DO NOT USE SOLAR BLADE WITHOUT THE SUN); when you get your stat modifications reset, DO NOT USE SUPERPOWER ON THE SAME TURN! The other effect is that your ability gets nullified for a turn, and if you use Superpower without Contrary active you will end up debuffing yourself - don't do that. In any case, the NPC(s) with Intimidate, by fainting and coming back, will have lowered Samurott's attack enough that you can afford a couple of turns without raising your defense. Use a cheer on this turn, whichever you want, or another Solar Blade but only if the strong sun is still up.

When you're sure Contrary is back in play, use 2 more Superpowers, then reapply Sunny Day. I didn't have to heal during this phase, but never say never. Once that's done, 3 more Solar Blades should be sufficient to win.

TL;DR: Worry Seed, die (or use Solar Blade while you wait to die), Superpower x3 (with Heal Up cheer if needed), Sunny Day, 1 more Heal Up if needed, terastallize, Solar Blade until the shield is broken and your stat boosts are up; a random cheer on the player stats wipe turn, then Superpower x2-3, Sunny Day, Solar Blade spam (usually 3x).

Other options:

You could probably use a less powerful physical grass-type attack in place of Solar Blade, something like Leaf Blade, to avoid depending on Sunny Day. And sub Sunny Day (which would now be useless) with Swords Dance or Synthesis. Superpower and Worry Seed aren't optional though.

Pros:

-pokémon available in both versions, base game

-easy tera type

-if you survive the first turn, it's a pretty easy battle and faster than average for a 7☆ raid

Cons:

-hidden ability

-NPC dependent

-you're supposed to faint once and it can be scary.
