The next Unrivalved Pokémon event, or Mighty Pokémon event, whichever you want to call it, or the 7 Star Tera Raid Event, is Decidueye, all three starter Pokémon types have appeared in the Tera Raids, and there are no extra Pokémon that appear, they could have put in like Avalugg or Magnezone for extra Pokémon in the Tera Raids during that time.
Decidueye in the Tera Raids has the Flying Tera Type, very fitting as Decidueye was once part Flying-type before becoming part Ghost-type, and it is not the Hisuian Decidueye, it is the original variant, it feels weird calling it Alolan Decidueye, because Gen 7 was the generation to introduce regional variants, and Decidueye is the first Gen 7 Pokémon to receive a regional variant in another game, I don't know if once Pokémon HOME comes out if we can put Pokémon from Scarlet & Violet into Legends: Arceus, like if we want to get certain Pokémon like Kleavor, Hisuian Lilligant, or any other Pokémon, even if backwards compatibility with a previous generation has not been done before, unless you count trading betweens Generations 1 and 2.
Going over the Tera Raid Event, Decidueye has the Flying Tera Type, its moves are Spirit Shackle, Brave Bird, Low Kick, and Leaf Blade, and for its extra moves, it has Feather Dance, Swords Dance, and Air Cutter, and it does have the Hidden Ability of Long Reach, protecting Decidueye when it uses a contact move against a Pokémon with an Ability like Static or Flame Body.
I did train up some good options for the Decidueye Tera Raids, and I was planning to use Magnezone for this one, until I found that Decidueye had a Fighting-type move, and I knew many players were going to use Miraidon, so in the end, I trained up a Bellibolt for this Tera Raid event as a support Pokémon to help the Miraidon users, he has Acid Spray to help with decreasing Decidueye's Special Defense, and Parabolic Charge to get in some damage once Bellibolt is Terastallized.
Going over the best counters, Electric-type Pokémon are your best shot, Miraidon and Iron Hands, the two usual Pokémon in Tera Raids, are excellent counters, Miraidon can use Calm Mind and Parabolic Charge to get in some damage, and when Terastallize, Electro Drift can get in some massive damage, while Iron Hands can use the Belly Drum strategy, and it can use Rock Tomb and Thunder Punch for dealing damage. Bellibolt is a good support option with moves like Acid Spray, Chilling Water, and Parabolic Charge, and when paired with Miraidon, the Special Defense drops from Acid Spray can help Miraidon deal some huge damage with Electro Drift.
For other counters, Luxray with Intimidate can help lower Decidueye's Attack, Fan Rotom has some good resistances to Leaf Blade and Low Kick, there is Avalugg with its massive Defense stat, but it has to watch out for Low Kick, and Toxtricity is a solid choice, as it can use Nuzzle and Acid Spray to help its teammates in the battle.
As for Decidueye, it has a Brave Nature, but you can use a Mint on it to change it to Adamant if you want a preferable Nature on it. It does get some good moves like Leaf Blade, Spirit Shackle, and Brave Bird, and it can get Phantom Force, Leaf Storm, U-turn, Shadow Sneak, Sucker Punch, and Feather Dance. It has good TM access to moves like Acrobatics, Trailblaze, Aerial Ace, Low Sweep, Bullet Seed, Shadow Claw, Seed Bomb, Light Screen, Swords Dance, Giga Drain, Tailwind, Baton Pass, Hurricane, and many other moves. Decidueye can even be a solid Pokémon in the Tera Raids, Swords Dance and Acrobatics can work well together, it can use Trailblaze to boost its Speed, of if you want to go with a Special Attacker, it can use Nasty Plot, Air Slash, and Giga Drain to help out in the battle.
