POKÉMON often gives away free powerful ‘mons to fans, and while some are easy to grab, others you have to work for.
The latest seven-star tera raid features an Electric-type Emboar, the Fire-type starter from Pokémon Black and White.
It comes with the ability Reckless, which makes Emboar’s recoil moves even more deadly.
Emboar is available in these raids from Friday, June 14, 2024, until Sunday, June 16, 2024, and again from Friday, June 21, 2024, until Sunday, June 23, 2024.
It comes with the moves Heat Crash, Bulk Up, Drain Punch, Wild Charge, Flare Blitz, and Head Smash.
This move set has good coverage, and each of them is powerful, boosted up by Reckless and Bulk Up.
Despite this there are a few Pokémon that can take it out, and there is one in particular that we recommend.
Iron Hands is a staple of seven-star tera raids due to its strong defenses, and its ability to boost up its attack.
Despite its great defense, Emboar can still deal a lot of damage with its Reckless moves so Iron Defense is a great way to keep it healthy.
Iron Hands can get some health back by using Drain Punch, and deal big damage with Earthquake and a Ground Tera type.
While Iron Hands usually runs Belly Drum, it’s a bit dangerous here due to how much damage Emboar does.
Instead, Swords Dance will help you boost your attack while you are protected by your boosted defenses.
You can defeat Emboar six times, once per day, but you will only be able to catch one.
