The weakest Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet are beating Mewtwo Tera Raids in a single hit

From what began out as probably the most difficult and irritating Tera Raid occasion in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Unequalled Mewtwo has now turn into a punching bag for the weakest Pokémon you possibly can think about.

The most well-liked and constant technique to beat the Mewtwo Tera Raid has been to convey 4 Mew with fellow gamers and comply with a set sport plan involving Tera Bug, a whole lot of defensive and offensive setup, and altering the terrain. The rationale everybody brings Mew as a counter is that it’s the one Pokémon within the sport that routinely receives an enormous stat buff in the beginning of the raid. Plus, it’s a robust Legendary Pokémon with stable stats throughout.

In some unspecified time in the future, gamers even discovered a approach to solo the Mewtwo Tera Raid with Mew and a whole lot of luck. However others have taken it a step additional and someway beat Mewtwo with the weakest Pokémon round as an alternative of Mew. And on high of utilizing weak Pokémon, they pulled all of it off with a formidable one-hit knockout in opposition to the Gen I Legendary.

In a Sept. 8 Reddit thread, one staff of gamers introduced 4 unevolved Pokémon—Cacnea, Tinkatink, Greavard, and Hatenna—in opposition to the terrifying Mewtwo and conquered the raid.

To place it into perspective, these 4 Pokémon’s base stat totals vary from 290 to 370 in comparison with Mew’s 600, they usually aren’t blessed with the automated stat increase like Mew both. That meant they wanted to work additional onerous in organising and surviving earlier than the massive one-hit knockout. The star of the present was Cacnea, who completely destroyed Mewtwo with one Energy Journey boosted by Serving to Hand, an Assault Cheer, Darkish Tera, and a whole lot of stat buffs. That is much more spectacular when you think about the truth that Mewtwo begins with its defend as much as considerably cut back the injury of incoming assaults.

Apart from the lovable crew of unevolved Pokémon, one other inventive participant determined to one-shot Mewtwo with everybody’s favourite floppy fish, Magikarp. The participant, Nommable123, has used Magikarp in other seven-star Tera Raids prior to now, however this one is by far probably the most spectacular with how way more tough Unequalled Mewtwo is than some other raid boss.

The hilarious half is that this technique solely requires Magikarp to know two strikes—Flail and Splash. And though Splash is probably the most ineffective transfer in your entire sport with no function by any means, Magikarp used it in opposition to Mewtwo at one level to drive a knockout onto the fish and set off a stat reset on the Legendary. In the end, Magikarp acquired the job completed with an ultra-strong Flail boosted by Regular Tera and the help of its staff.

So, whether or not it’s an entire staff of weak Pokémon or only a Magikarp going through down Mewtwo, there’s nothing extra satisfying than watching them demolish the Legendary raid that has given so many gamers a troublesome time.
