NPC Advantages: Arboliva banned because seed sower lays grassy terrain, which gives a 1.3x damage boost to supereffective grass knot. 1 intimidator (tauros, staraptor, arcanine) needed if not using chilling water (which can replace rain dance or rest). gardevoir (life dew, synchronize for burns), bellibolt (discharge, light screen), umbreon (thunder wave, synchronize for burns), drifblim (will-o-wisp), sylveon (charm, moonblast), and dudunsparce (thunder wave) are helpful.
Strategy: wait for your stats to reset. rest when HP gets low and the shell bell isn't ready yet. 6x calm mind. 3x sparkling aria. terastalize. sparkling aria, rain dance (or 2x chilling water if you have it), sparkling aira to victory.
Pros: supereffective tera type matching base type, great HP and special defense stats, good defense stat, excellent special attack stat, resists flare blitz, 44kg mass gives grass knot a base power of 60 (rather than its max of 120), which makes up for the weakness. shell bell heals when attacking, an amount equal to 1/8 of damage dealt. rain dance puts up rain for 5 turns, which boosts damage output and shell bell healing, and activates hydration to clear a burn from flare blitz. calm mind buffs 1 special attack stage and 1 special defense stage. rest heals full HP bar (and heals burns). sparkling aria has 90 base power, 100 accuracy, and deals supereffective STAB (tera-boosted when terastalized) damage.
Cons: outsped by infernape
Overall Rating: 8/10

Considering how this thing has grass knot, I would laugh so hard if Swampert could solo this lol

[@DaniSoloRaids]

it seems very unlikely that it would be doable without incredible RNG and NPC support. amnesia will help a lot, but getting outsped is rough. best bet is turn 1 umbreon/dudunsparce paralyzes, bellibolt uses light screen, and gardevoir uses life dew. turn 2 infernape gets blocked by the paralysis and gardevoir life dews again. then you hurry up and terastalize.

Do you think Galarian Zapdos would work? It has the same type as Hawlucha and that seemed to work. I have a Zapdos built already that I used for a previous raid so I'm curious if it'll work

[@DaniSoloRaids]

@@pikasheep it will. I plan to run it. Give it rest, thunderous kick, bulk up, and taunt
