I used a Haunter build with Modest nature, max HP and Defense with the rest of the evs in Sp Attack, held item Eviolite, move set is Giga Drain, Acid Spray, Clear Smog and Nasty Plot. This build turns Torterra into a complete pushover.

Thank Osirus for this build

I think they’re probably going to do the Paldea starters as 7 star raids next year. We already know shiny Rayquaza is coming up on December 20th.

Got it on my first try with this. I would actually recommend making use of that leech seed as the fourth move. Pop one of those off turn one and you get a nice chunk of passive healing for the remainder of the battle. It actually came in clutch for me when I got an unlucky hit near the end that broke my tera. The clock was running down and I wasn't sure if I could get another move off in time, but the leech seed damage finished him off.

THE SUMMONS HAS COME, FRIENDS!

Hi! I thought I would mention it since I saw you battling the Pokémon for materials. You can buy the TMs in the blueberry academy shop, in exchange for BP

[もちの花]

Getting Arboliva helps a lot. It increases damage, decreases earthquake's power, and gives you a bit of healing

[DarthVader]

Ty for the video on how to counter it. Missed you a couple weeks ago for feraligator, had to look up a guide online for good counters for it 😂.

Austin John plays one of my favorite OG youtubers! thank you man!

[DivineDEC]

The only reason to hack in pokémon in Scarlet and violet is to get either zero IVs or to get pokémon that aren't available in a game that you own. The DLC made Tara shards really easy to get and everything else can be bought in a store or bought at the market

[johnnycosta]

Looking slim, King. Keep up the good work.

[dain]

i looked your channel up about 40 mins ago looking for a guide. thanks austin!!

[ShinoGambino]

4:05 I hate you for making us watch that animation with you 😭

[EliteTrainerKenway]

Bro looks like he's dropped a few pounds. Looking good my man!

Here after easily clearing the Raid on my 2nd attempt (1st attempt failed only because I forgot to use PP Up on Leaf Storm lol), and Serperior is definitely the consistant option. I would say to put some EVs in Speed, that way Torterra doesn't outspeed you after the 1st Shell Smash. I was lucky to have Arcanine and Arboliva as partners, as Intimidate, and Seed Sower came in clutch

[CarolTurner-eo]

Enjoyed every second video! You did great!

[adamant_viewer]

Hopefully the 7-Star raid following this one will actually be interesting. Unless I've sorely miscounted, this now means every final stage starter has had a "The Mightiest" raid. Excluding the Paldean starters of course.

Maybe next time they'll move on to legendaries or something. We'll have to wait and see.

[TheFlashzap]

6:55 I have been shiny hunting for years so all the outbreaks I’ve slaughtered means that I’ll never have to hunt for materials

[autumbreeze]

I actually already managed to beat it... with what many would see as a rather unique strategy.

I used the Malmar from several raids back, changing its Tera to grass and teaching it Trailblazer, Liquidation and Terra Blast, using Skill Swap to give Torterra Contray and take away its protection from Critical Hits.

The first 5 times were a bust because everyone else brought in Pokemon with severe disadvantages, but the last team we worked well together.

It was down to the wire, but we beat it.
