The next Tera Raid Event features two version exclusive Pokémon, in Scarlet, you can find Armarouge in Tera Raids, while Ceruledge can be found in Violet, but you can enter the Tera Raid in the other version. None of them have increased types, but this event is a good way to collect Charcadet materials, as Charcadet itself isn't a common Pokémon, they are usually fixed spawns, making this Tera Raid event good for collecting them, as you will need them to craft TMs for moves like Fire Punch, Aura Sphere, Blast Burn, and Flare Blitz. I also show a Mystery Gift code which gives you a TM for Tera Blast, while it is good you get one for free, you can easily craft them using Glimmet materials, and Glimmet isn't a difficult Pokémon to encounter, while they are found in caves, including Alfornada Cavern or East Province Area Three, its evolved form Glimmora is a common spawn in the deepest parts of Area Zero.
Going over both Ceruledge and Armarouge, both are the evolved forms of Charcadet, Armarouge being a Special Attacker, and Ceruledge is a Physical Attacker, and both of them like to use Sunny Day at the start of the raid. Starting with Armarouge, its moves in the 4 Star Tera Raids are Lava Plume, Psyshock, Energy Ball, and Taunt, while the Armarouge in the 5 Star Tera Raids have Armor Cannon and Expanding Force instead of Lava Plume and Psyshock, and it has Calm Mind as an addtional move. Both Pokémon have Flash Fire for the Ability, and Weak Armor for the Hidden Ability, and I did find a site which gives you the best counters for certain Tera Raids, like the Pokémon, the move types, and its Tera Type, the site is PvPoke, while it is well known for PvP Rankings in Pokémon GO, there is a section which goes over the best counters to Tera Raids in this game. Going over Armarouge, it has Special Attack for its highest stat, and it has a respectable Defense stat, but its Speed is kind of average, which does make Weak Armor a good Ability to have as it pairs well with the Weakness Policy or Focus Sash. Flash Fire is preferred for Tera Raids, and Armarouge is a solid pick for certain Tera Raids, it has access to moves like Psyshock, Mystical Fire, Flamethrower, Clear Smog, Wide Guard, Will-O-Wisp, Calm Mind, Ally Switch, and Expanding Force, as well as its signature Armor Cannon, and for TMs, it can learn Acid Spray, Stored Power, Reflect, Light Screen, Taunt, Flash Cannon, Dark Pulse, Iron Defense, Aura Sphere, Shadow Ball, Dragon Pulse, Heat Wave, Energy Ball, Psychic Terrain, Fire Blast, Overheat, Focus Blast, Trick Room, and Tera Blast. Psychic is a good Tera Type for Armarouge, specially on sets that use Psychic Terrain and Expanding Force, while Fire gives it the extra power for its Armor Cannon, if you want to go with a good defensive typing, Grass works best for Armarouge, and with Energy Ball, it can take out any unsuspecting Water or Ground-type Pokémon it is up against.
Ceruledge is the Physcial counterpart to Armarouge, this one is faster and has better Special Defense, but at the cost of some HP. In the 4 Star Tera Raids, Ceruledge has Flame Charge, Shadow Sneak, Night Slash, and Will-O-Wisp, while in the 5 Star Tera Raids, it has Bitter Blade and Shadow Claw instead of Flame Charge and Shadow Sneak, and it has Swords Dance as an additional move. Ceruledge has good versatility in moves, it can get Shadow Sneak, Night Slash, and Solar Beam through the Move Reminder, and its level up moves include Shadow Claw, Will-O-Wisp, Swords Dance, Bitter Blade, Psycho Cut, and Flare Blitz, and for TMs, it can learn Brick Break, Bulk Up, Reflect, Light Screen, Dragon Claw, Poison Jab, Taunt, Iron Head, Iron Defense, X-Scissor, Close Combat, and Tera Blast. Ceruledge's preferred Tera Type is Fire to give its Bitter Blade more power, Grass helps resist its weaknesses to types like Water, Ground, and Rock, and it can use Tera Blast to take them out, Fairy gives it a resistance to Dark-type moves, and Fighting to power up Close Combat. If they did increased types in the Tera Raids, I can see Psychic for Armarouge, and Ghost for Ceruledge, or they could go with Grass or Fairy to make them challenging in some way, but it does require a lot of strategy as they will use Sunny Day at the first turn and they have ways to boost their stats.
