Pokemon Greninja Tera Raid
First taking place from 00:00 UTC, January 27th, to 23:59 UTC on January 29th, this 7-Star Poison Greninja can be found at special Black Tera Crystals across Paldea.
To unlock 7-star raids, you’ll need that have completed the main storyline and defeated a few 5-star raids. Haven’t got to that point yet? No problem - the event will repeat itself from February 10th to February 12th, 2023.
The Greninja line can’t be found natively in Paldea, so this is a unique opportunity to add this popular Kalos starter to your team.
It will have 6IVs (Individual Values), which are the numbers that determine the stats of a single Pokemon. It can only be caught once per save file.
Currently, it’s unknown what ability the Greninja in the 7-star Tera Raid will have. It’s likely to be between its hidden abilities - Protean and Battle Bond. In Generation 9, Protean changes your Pokemon’s type to the type of a move once per battle. Battle Bond is Greninja’s signature ability, turning it into Ash-Greninja with higher base stats than regular Greninja when it knocks out another Pokemon on the field.
Best Counters To Choose
Poison-type moves are super effective against Fairy and Grass-type Pokemon, so avoid these types! You’ll want to bring Ground and Psychic-type Pokemon for super effective damage of your own. Consider moves of the same type for same-type-attack-bonus (STAB) additional damage.
As soon as the moveset for the 7-Star Poison Tera type Greninja is released, we’ll update this guide with some Pokemon we think will be popular counters.
