I've actually used my Magearna, instead. One Iron Defense, Misty Terrain(or Calm Mind, if there's an Arboliva on your team), have it hold a Metronome, and just spam Draining Kiss. After 3 Draining Kisses, just go into Tera Fairy, and just keep using it. Really easy.
@azuregaming4634 NP. You can get one, from BLAINES' trade bots. The free ones. They'll give you a Magearna for free, and it's pretty easy to set up. 252 HP EV's, 252 Sp. Attack, 4-6 onto Phys. Defense, Draining Kiss, Iron Defense, Calm Mind, Misty Terrain, Modest Nature, Fairy-Type Tera, and let it hold a Metronome. Good luck.

@ I hate to break it to you but Misty Terrain does not boost fairy moves by 30%. It only prevents status effects and reduces the power of Dragon moves by 50%. Only Grassy Terrain and Psychic Terrain boost damage.

Btw I recommend not to use zacian because Rayquaza knows earthquake, I used a sylveon with draining kiss and calm mind. What I recommend to do first is to do draining kiss until it sets up its shield it will also nullify so that’s your chance to set up 2-4 calm minds I recommend 4 calm minds then after that terastallize and start using draining kiss you don’t need the pixilate ability its only useful if your grinding candies but sylveon needs to be level 100, BUT if you find a sylveon with pixilate make it learn hyper beam to do tones of damage only use it after its shield is broken by draining kiss then one shot it and then catch with a luxury ball Sylveons stats make sure special defence and special attack are almost maxed out I recommend to buy calcium from one of the stores or hyper train sylveon outside the ghost type gym (it’s the guy with a abomnasnow behind the pokemon centre) to boosts its special defence
I used an Alcremie from your giveaway, myself. With Dazzling Gleam as the primary damaging move, Draining Kiss for self-healing plus damage, and Decorate to sharply boost the attack stats of my allies. Solo'ed Rayquaza pretty easily, actually.
Seems like the swan song of this generation. I have a funny feeling that Gen 10 will be what they've always really wanted for some time: A complete cut-off from all previous generations. No Pokemon Home transfers, no previous pokemon at all. If they found a way to prevent generated pokemon it's all but guaranteed. Even if they don't completely gut the pokedex they can just have a special tag for Gen10+ versions of the pokemon to prevent any previous ones from being transferred in.
I forgot the ray was 5 star LOL! also I expected them to make it dlc only and 5stars are very rare to be shown on the online battle over the 6 star blisseys. I half expected gamefreak to make ppl get the dlc to find this raid easily.
I used a Clefable. I was so worried Rayquaza would buff a lot but that didn’t come to pass. Well, one DD, but that’s it. Still had enough offensive power to handle it decently.
@xLilKraz3x I imagine that's due to Grimmsnarl being one of the more frail Fairy-types. Sylveon and Azumarill are solid choices for this raid, and aren't too hard to get either. If u wanna go a bit overkill, Diancie and Magearna can work too
For those who are not seeing the raid in their own games have you... 1) Finished the game which is the 3 storylines plus the area zero storyline so that you can unlock the 5* raids? 2) Updated your poke portal news and made sure that the date and time of your Switch is current and correct? If you have finished the game and have updated your poke portal news but still can't find the raid make sure that you are checking the 5* dragon tera raids, this event is not a black crystal raid so it does blend in with the other raids on the map. Also try reseting your game if you need to, maybe that will help.
@Echoesoftimelover It goes until Jan 5th so there is time. Plus this is just to get the raid in your own game you can still join in on other people's raids as long as you have NSO and mons that can do the raid
I suggest replace Rusted Sword with Shel Bell. This will eliminate super effective damage taken by earthquake due to no Steel type. Have Play Rough for HP recovery
I did it with your giveaway Zacian. I didn't have that sword item but I used an expert belt. Worked fine and that was easy fun raid. I caught Ray in Love ball because why not 😅
Caught It On The First Try In Violet With Palkia With A Combination Of Bulk Up, Breaking Swipe And Dragon Pulse And In Scarlet On The First Try With Dialga With Combination Of Bulk Up, Ice Beam, Dragon Pulse And Roar Of Time.
5 star is so new players for Christmas get the game and grind to 5 star raids. I guess they assume people have the time to get to 5 star within 10 days past christmas.
Is there a another way to find him? Cause I tried with the finding him in the dragon tera crystals but it wasn’t him. And I couldn’t find anymore dragon type Tera battles in my Pokémon violet game
Have you unlocked the 5* raids in your game? If so have you updated your poke portal news making sure that the date and time on your Switch is correct?
Hey blaines love what you do for us I don't wanna sound like I'm complaining but everyone absolutely refuses to trade with me because your name is on ot would you be willing to change the ot to something less obvious like character names from the TV shows ash Brock misty etc

@ oh that makes sense. Crap I don’t even know where to start. You ever take a break from a game and then have no idea what you’re doing when you pick it back up? Lol. I’ll figure it out. I think I’ve gotten to the elite 4 or victory road or something like that. I vaguely remember that was right around the time I quit. How much further passed that is the game almost done?

My EV trained Zacian from my first Sword playthrough: My time has come
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Good alternatives are Azumarill & Sylveon. But I admit, Zacian's *hella good in this!*
The group I did had them. I was odd one out with multiscale lugia
you dont even need that a good fairy type is enough
This raid dropped on my brother's birthday makes it special for me
Name the Rayquaza after your brother.
😂😂😂😂 🤦🏼♂️🤮
Happy birthday to ur bro

Me too. I'm assuming we won't be getting shiny Rayquaza unless we buy a membership 😢
You can definitely get the Raquaza without Nintendo membership.
You just need a Wi-Fi connection to update your raids by checking the news in game.
Btw I recommend not to use zacian because Rayquaza knows earthquake, I used a sylveon with draining kiss and calm mind.

Sylveons stats make sure special defence and special attack are almost maxed out I recommend to buy calcium from one of the stores or hyper train sylveon outside the ghost type gym (it’s the guy with a abomnasnow behind the pokemon centre) to boosts its special defence
I got mine. Beat Rayquaza with a Slyveon then again with Azumaril and Zacian.
I got zacian from go. That's what I used. Caught my rayquaza in a luxury ball. I already got a shiny one from go in a premiere ball. I use shell bell
I used an Alcremie from your giveaway, myself. With Dazzling Gleam as the primary damaging move, Draining Kiss for self-healing plus damage, and Decorate to sharply boost the attack stats of my allies. Solo'ed Rayquaza pretty easily, actually.
Can i use my play rough azumaril for this?? I got shield not sword😅. Edit: thx for all the feedback it worked wonders!
ye u can for sure
@BLAINES alright thanks man!
Azumarill works perfectly fine, I did it with Azumarill solo twice.
@@BLAINESI cant find rayquaza im in the Post game with 6 Star unlocked but it doesnt spawn even with date skip (I dont have online)
Is it because of no online

Does it have enough defense for earthquake
I forgot the ray was 5 star LOL! also I expected them to make it dlc only and 5stars are very rare to be shown on the online battle over the 6 star blisseys. I half expected gamefreak to make ppl get the dlc to find this raid easily.
What was the ev investment? That earthquake should've done way more damage
First destroyed it with my Dragapult and breaking swipe to nerf it each time.
What are the evs that you used on zacian
Max attack and probably max hp. It uses physical and special attacks, so you can spread your evs around to your liking
@ cool thank you
I used a Clefable. I was so worried Rayquaza would buff a lot but that didn’t come to pass. Well, one DD, but that’s it. Still had enough offensive power to handle it decently.
Easily destroyed it with Sylveon first try. Honestly, any decent Fairy-type should do fine
My Grimmsnarl Gets bodied lol unfortunately that’s my only fairy type Pokémon
@xLilKraz3x I imagine that's due to Grimmsnarl being one of the more frail Fairy-types. Sylveon and Azumarill are solid choices for this raid, and aren't too hard to get either. If u wanna go a bit overkill, Diancie and Magearna can work too
I’d say an iron valiant with swords dance,drain punch and spirit break would work

He was relatively easy with pretty much any fairy
Do you have to finish the game to get this in your game world? Cuz I want to get multiple
U can only get 1 per account
Yeah you have to beat the game
Yeah you do, you need to beat the game to unlock 5 6 and 7 star raids. You could join someone else's raid though
Yep. You have to beat the game, complete some postgame like Ace Academy. Or you can join with someone else raid if you have Nintendo switch online
Got him with my Koraidon very easily! Beast ball baby!
I feel like you should’ve caught in a Luxury Ball, but I’m definitely going to do it
Yeah not even a Premier Ball is good enough, plus a Luxury Ball plays to it's colour scheme
Good old fluttermane with drain kiss was enough to beat the ray.
Avalanche Beartic worked like a charm for me.
I used my archaludon and it was pretty easy considering a Sylveon also joined my team
Will there be a similar thing to Red's Pokémon giveaway thing for Scarlet Version Exclusives?
For those who still has an builded Azumarill since the first Tera Raid, you can you use it too. :v
I got your competitive ready team and was curious how to go about using it? Like strategy-wise.
Done and dusted, out of this world! Luxury ball! Thank you for the tips.
I’ve been playing Pokémon, since I was a young kid. Now it doesn’t feel the same 🤧.
Wow, I thought it would be difficult
Can u make a Pokémon that holds pokeballs that are rare like beast ball?
I just brain dead this by iron valiant swords dance and drain punch with spirit break
I did it with your giveaway Zacian. I didn't have that sword item but I used an expert belt. Worked fine and that was easy fun raid. I caught Ray in Love ball because why not 😅
If you have it just use primarina from one of the previous Tera raid events
I used Mew with the Stellar Tera Type against shiny Rayquaza.
Enamorous choice specs fairy Tera draining kiss works too for those who don’t have zacian
yesterday used Zacian for my first try and caught it on the first try
Damn, i may miss this as I just started the game
It goes until Jan 5th so you may have time
the tera fairy huge power azumairl you built 2 years ago kills him
Thanks, azumarill didnt work (maybe because i dont have belly drum on it?) but zacian... A true hero. I did it on first attempt.
I just used my azumaril i use for every dragon type and it worked 👍
I brought Grimmsnarl, thunderwaved and screens and spam spirit break till the cows come home
How long until the end of raid for Rayquaza?
Until Sunday the 5th of January
Caught It On The First Try In Violet With Palkia With A Combination Of Bulk Up, Breaking Swipe And Dragon Pulse And In Scarlet On The First Try With Dialga With Combination Of Bulk Up, Ice Beam, Dragon Pulse And Roar Of Time.
Hey can you help me out and host a raid I have a pokemon that can handle it but I don't yet have 5 star unlocked on my new file
Just finding chanseys ATM 😢
Being 5-stars raid, you can best him even with Iron Hands. So you can save some resources for next 7-stars raid.
5 star is so new players for Christmas get the game and grind to 5 star raids. I guess they assume people have the time to get to 5 star within 10 days past christmas.
@JarlQboyq it's actually easier than you think to do that
Sorry to ask but do you mind telling me how you record your gameplay? ❤❤❤😭😭😭
Once again, Belly Drum Azumaril + play rough wins in about 5 turns.
Is there a another way to find him? Cause I tried with the finding him in the dragon tera crystals but it wasn’t him. And I couldn’t find anymore dragon type Tera battles in my Pokémon violet game
Have you unlocked the 5* raids in your game? If so have you updated your poke portal news making sure that the date and time on your Switch is correct?
Im in the same boat. Unlocked 5* raids, date and time internet synced, updated the news via mystery gift thing, nothing at dragon teras
If you got in on my giveaway last week in discord I gave out 3 great builds for this raid
Just got my shiny Rayquaza from the raid event last night.
It’s not on the map for me😢
Just use a chien pao ice tera with sword dance and shells. Bam
Thank you so much. Always helpful
The raid for shiny Rayquasa isn’t showing up for me.

Complete the game on another profile. Trade the new rusty sword to another switch and trade it back to the main

Can I get it unless you beat the story I found out the hard way

I ment first
I already got it yesterday

It keeps saying I need Nintendo Switch online

nope i dont think so
