Following the 2025 Pokemon Day festivities,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers developed and shared methods to defeat the newest Seven-Star Tera Raid boss, Meowscarada the Unrivaled. On social media, twoPokemon Scarlet and Violettrainers posted how specific Fire-type Pokemon easily took down Meowscarada in solo and team play.
Known as the Magician Pokemon, Meowscarada is the final evolution of Sprigatito and Floragato. As the Grass-type starter ofPokemon Scarlet and Violet, Meowscarada also gains the Dark-type as its secondary type when fully evolved. Meowscarada is known for its high speed and physical attack stats, making it one of the top physical sweepers inPokemon Scarlet and Violet. As a Seven-Star Tera Raid Boss thatfirst appeared on Pokemon Day, Meowscarada the Unrivaled uses the moves Flower Trick, Play Rough, Acrobatics, Night Slash, Hone Claws, Grassy Terrain, and Petal Blizzard.
Given that Grass-type Pokemon are weak against Fire-type attacks, twoPokemon Scarlet and Violettrainers shared different ways to beat the new Tera Raid boss. On the r/PokemonScarletViolet subreddit, users No-Pool-7850 and Lumfdoesgaming shared their methods for defeating Meowscarada the Unrivaled. No-Pool-7850 used a strategy that involved a coordinated teamthat revolved around Charizarddefeating Meowscarada in a single strike. Charizard was supported by Florges, Koraidon, and Corviknight.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Strategists Use Charizard and Skeledirge To Beat Meowscarada Tera Raid
In the first turn, Koraidon used Helping Hand on Charizard, while Florges triggered Charizard’s Weakness Policy with Chilling Water, and passed the Choice Specs item to Charizard via the Symbiosis ability. Corviknight used Fake Tears to weaken Meowscarada’s special defense. Koraidon’s Orichalcum Pulse ability also allowed harsh sunlight to boost Charizard’s fire attacks even more. After a turn of setting up, Charizard unleashed Blast Burn to defeat Meowscarada in a single move.
As for Lumfdoesgaming, their strategy was focused on soloing Meowscarada with NPC partners at their side. The main Fire Pokemon for this composition was Skeledirge, the Fire and Ghost starter ofPokemon Scarlet and Violet. Skeledirge had the moves Protect, Torch Song, Flamethrower, and Shadow Ball, though the first three were all that Lumfdoesgaming needed to beat Meowscarada. After usingthe Fire-type attack Torch Songthree times to boost Skeledirge’s special attack, Protect was used to shield Skeledirge from Meowscarada’s boss ability that wipes stats and abilities for a turn. After Terastallizing and maxing out its Special Attack, Skeledirge used Flamethrower to finish the fight.
Meowscarada the Unrivaled can be fought in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet until Thursday, March 6, when Skeledirge the Unrivaled will take its place. Ergo,Pokemontrainers will need toupdate their Tera Raid strategiesagainst each of the Unrivaled Paldean starters.
