Game Freak doesn’t reveal a Tera Raid Pokemon’s moveset ahead of time, but we can make some educated guesses based on Delphox’s usual moves and the comparatively limited number of ways you can use them. There may be a few surprises thrown in that we didn’t account for, but in general, it’s a good idea to prepare some Pokemon who can handle these moves.
Delphox Tera Raid anticipated moveset:
- Dazzling Gleam
- Mystical Fire
- Will-O-Wisp
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Nasty Plot
- Sunny Day
This Delphox’s Tera type is Fairy, so Dazzling Gleam seems like a pretty safe bet. Most of these special event raid Pokemon have at least one of their Egg moves, so we’re banking on Mystical Fire turning up instead of Fire Blast. Fire Blast is powerful, but Mystical Fire lowers the target’s stats, making it more suited to a challenging raid battle.
Psychic would give Delphox a strong chance against Poison opponents, while Shadow Ball – another Egg move – is just strong in general. Nasty Plot and Sunny Day would boost Delphox’s power significantly. Will-O-Wisp is a guess based on Delphox’s move pool, though it could have Light Screen instead.
If you’re wondering whether we forgot how math works, these 7-star Tera Raid Pokemon always have three additional move slots for a total of seven moves, instead of the usual four.
Like other 7-star Tera Raid Pokemon, it’ll show up with its hidden ability. That’s Magician, which is where Delphox steals the held item of the Pokemon that it attacks.
