Using DRAINING KISS AZUMARILL to SOLO and CATCH a PALKIA!
0Welcome to the video!
In this little video, we are taking on the 5-star Tera Raid against Palkia. This Palkia is Dragon Tera-Type and has a strong moveset. It has the Moves Draco Meteor, Thunder, Fire Blast, and Hydro Pump as well as Gravity at the start of the fight and Rain Dance twice.
I used Azumarill here with a Modest Nature, the Ability Thick Fat, holding a Metronome, an EV spread of 252 Sp. Attack, 252 Sp. Defense, and 6 HP, and the Moves Amnesia, Fake Tears, Light Screen, and Draining Kiss (of course).
This was done near the start of the time that Palkia (and Dialga) were released in the Tera Raids, so there were some bugs to the strategy I am sure. What I did was setup an Amnesia right off the bat so that Azumarill has +3 in Sp. Defense. This makes tanking the Moves that Palkia uses to be almost inconsequential. From there, use three Draining Kisses to get the ability to Terastillize when necessary. After Palkia resets Azumarill stats, use another Amnesia to keep Azumarill protected, or use Light Screen. Continue to use Draining Kiss to whittle Palkia's health down until it loses its shield and then resets its stats (that probably haven't been changed yet). If you want to do absolutely insane damage, feel free to use Fake Tears until Palkia's Sp. Defense is abysmal, and then use Draining Kiss to victory!
Having Palkia and Dialga in the Tera Raids came as a shock, but it's a welcome shock as getting them before the DLC drops next week is a nice addition!
