When will Eevee appear in Tera Raids?

Mightiest Mark Eevee is appearing in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids from November 17, 2023, until November 20, 2023. Unlike previous Tera Raid events, Eevee is only appearing for one weekend instead of two. However, you can still battle it to earn in-game items such as Exp. Candy.

Mightiest Mark Eevee Moveset & Type

The 7-Star Eevee is a Normal-Type Pokemon with the Normal Tera Type. This means any Normal-type moves it uses will receive a significant damage bonus. This means that Eevee takes double damage from Fighting-type moves and is immune to Ghost-type moves. Bear in mind that Ghost-type Pokemon are immune to Normal-type moves, which is an important factor for this battle.

The 7-Star Eevee can know Double-Edge, Hyper Voice, Charm, Baby-Doll Eyes, and Bite. It’s Ability is Anticipation, but it won’t have much of an effect on the battle. These moves mean that Eevee has some powerful debuff attacks, along with some brutal STAB-infused Normal-type attacks.

Best Annihilape build

Easily the best choice for tackling 7-Star Eevee is Annihilape. This is because it’s a Ghost/Fighting-type Pokemon, making it immune to Eevee’s strongest attacks while allowing it to deal ridiculous amounts of damage.

In terms of moves, the player should have Bulk Up, Close Combat, Drain Punch, and Focus Energy, to give Annihilape lots of buffing and damage-dealing options. It should also possess the Tera Fighting-type, to give it an extra boost. Make sure it has a Big Root equipped, to make Drain Punch more effective.

Best Iron Hands build

The Paradox Pokemon Iron Hands is another excellent pick for taking on Eevee. This Electric/Fighting-type Pokemon has a STAB bonus when hitting Eevee’s biggest weak spots, and possesses some great buffing options.

In terms of moves, the player should bring in Belly Drum, Drain Punch, Electric Terrain, and either Force Palm or Brick Break. Electric Terrain and Quark Drive will provide a significant stat boost, as can Belly Drum (at a cost). The player can then follow up with Drain Punch and other Fighting-type moves to finish the job.

Best Hisuian Decidueye build

This Grass/Fighting-type Pokemon can be brought over from Pokemon Legends: Arceus or Pokemon Home and unleashed on 7-Star Raids.

Hisuian Decidueue has the powerful Triple Arrows, which deals damage over multiple turns, while Roost can restore its health when needed. Swords Dance can boost the power of Triple Arrows, while Light Screen can buff the entire team.

Best Kommo-o build

This Dragon/Fighting-type Pokemon returned to Gen 9 as part of the Teal Mask DLC. Players should bring Body Press, Drain Punch, Iron Defense, and Taunt into this battle, to use a specific strategy.

Kommo-o can learn Body Press as a TM move. Body Press is a powerful Fighting-type move that uses Defense instead of Attack for its stat. Kommo-o already has a high Defense stat, which it can bolster further with Iron Defense, followed up by a deadly Body Press attack.
