Tera	Nature	EV Focus	Ability	Moveset	Held Item
Psychic	Bold	HP and Def	Oblivious	Psychic, Yawn / Iron Defense, Chilling Water, Slack off / Heal Pulse	Leftovers

The Bold nature is important for raising defense stats and the Leftovers held item will be great for sustain as it gradually restores HP throughout the battle. To obtain Leftovers, you’ll need to purchase it at Delibird Presents in Cascarrafa for 20,000 Poké dollars. And to change your Slowbro’s nature, you’ll need it to eat a Bold Mint!

The Psychic tera type is more preferable as you’ll be able to deal extra damage with your Psychic attack, however the Water tera type wouldn’t be that bad either!

Slowbro Tera Raid Build Strategy¶

As you can see, there’s a good mix of status debuffs and healing going on with this build. Psychic is there as a good damage dealing attack as Cinderace will take x2 damage from Psychic moves given its a Fighting tera type. Slowbro learns Psychic at lv 36.

For the other moves, Chilling Water is a great option, and something you should be using early on in the battle because it lowers the target’s Attack by one stage. This will help you and your team survive a bit longer against your opponent’s attacks! Chilling Water can be learned via TM022 - you’re given a copy of this TM by the Cascarrafa Gym Leader Kofu when you defeat him.

Yawn will make your target drowsy, meaning at the end of the next turn the affected Pokémon will fall asleep. Slowbro naturally learns Yawn at lv 9 - if your Slowbro doesn’t currently have that move, you can relearn it! You can only make Cinderace (or any other Tera Pokémon) fall asleep if its Tera Shield is down. Whilst this move is obviously powerful, if you’re skeptical about being able to land a successful Yawn, try swapping it out for Iron Defense, which is just a good old fashioned Defense raising move! Iron Defense is learned via TM104, and a copy of this TM can be found on the North Paldean Coast.

And finally, choose either Slack off or Heal Pulse as your healing move! Slowbro learns both of these moves (Slack off at lv 33 and Heal Pulse at lv 51) naturally, so no need to go out hunting TMs! Slack Off recovers half of your Slowbro’s maximum HP, and Heal Pulse restores up to 50% of a target’s maximum HP. The latter move can be used to heal up your Slowbro or your teammates’ Pokémon. Both are good options and it’s largely up to you which you think would be best based on your team’s build! If you’ve got squishier Pokémon on your team Heal Pulse could be a good solution!

It’s a good idea to get a low-level Shinx in-play alongside our Slowbro Tera Raid build due to it’s Intimidate ability aand Helping Hand move. Low-Level Pokémon tend to have a lower re-spawn counter in Tera Raids, and Intimidate lowers an opponents Attack stat by 1 whenever it comes into play. Combining this with Helping Hand to pass over any team stat boosts ensures a shorter Raid and allows trainers to make the most out of a Slowbro Tera Raid build.

This concludes the ultimate Slowbro Tera Raid Build Guide. Goodluck hunting for those Slowbros, leveling them up, acquiring those needed skills and more!
