Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: How to Beat the Inteleon Tera Raid

gameranx.com:

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet will rerun the 7-Star Inteleon Raid Event! Inteleon has an Ice Tera Type, eliminating its original Electric and Grass-type weaknesses. As a Water-type, Inteleon is still super effective against Fire, Ground, and Rock-type Pokémon.

If you missed the first round, don’t worry! Round 2 will start this weekend:

Like the other Tera Raid Events, if you caught Inteleon in the previous round, you will not be able to catch it again. But with increased drop rates for items like the Ability Patch and Bottle Cap, it’s worth replaying.

Inteleon only knows Special moves, plus Tearful Look. Remember that Tearful Look lowers both Attack and Sp. Atk by one stage. It may not do damage, but it’ll cut into your time if you’re not prepared.

At the beginning of the Raid, Inteleon will also use Snowscape and Mist. Snowscape activates a snowstorm for five turns. During this time, the Defense of Ice-type Pokémon will increase. Mist protects the user and their allies from stat reduction for five turns.

Desirably, you should bring a Pokémon that can change the terrain and/or the weather. If you decide to leave everything up to fate with the NPCs, Arboliva’s Seed Sower will do the trick. Otherwise, bring a Pokémon that knows Psychic Terrain, Misty Terrain, Ice Spinner, Grassy Terrain, or Electric Terrain.

For weather, Sunny Day would be the best move to choose. This will clear Snowscape from the field and weaken Snipe Shot’s damage.

Inteleon (and some of its offspring) is the only Pokémon in Scarlet & Violet with the Sniper Hidden Ability.
