Like the Gyarados Tera Raid event, the Gyarados Tera Raids Tera-Typing is random, so Gyarados gets to keep it’s type-advantages whilst hiding behind a new Tera-Type. Unless it’s Water or Flying that is, in that case the above applies. The best strategy here is having a good spread of Pokémon prepared to deal with all Tera Typings, which sounds ridiculous, but it’s just the standard Pokémon team strategy.

The Gyarados Tera Raid event will be throwing Dragon, Dark, Flying and Water attacks at trainers, which means picking a Pokémon with a good resistance against all of the aforementioned is a good start.

The Azumaril Tera Raid Build knocking around right now is brilliant and should take all of these types with a pinch of salt, given its only weak against Electric, Grass and Poison types.

It uses Belly Drum to max out its Attack stat then drive damage home with Play Rough, Superpower or any physical attack its trainer chooses. It’s also going to be super effective against Cinderace too, although it will be spamming the move Bulk Up that raises its Attack Stat, so hitting hard and fast is the way forward.
