Chesnaught Tera Raid Moves
Before diving head first into the Level 100 Chesnaught Tera Raid you will want to know what you are going up against. The Chesnaught you face is Tera Type Rock. Additionally you will want to know the Pokemon’s moveset. The Level 100 Chesnaught you face has the following move set:
| Move | Description |
|---|---|
| Bulletproof (Ability) | Protects the Pokemon from ball and bomb moves. |
| Earthquake | The user sets off an earthquake that strikes every Pokémon around it. |
| Iron Defense | The user hardens its body’s surface like iron, sharply boosting its Defense stat. |
| Wood Hammer | The user slams its rugged body into the target to attack. This also damages the user quite a lot. |
| Stone Edge | The user stabs the target with sharpened stones. This move has a heightened chance of landing a critical hit. |
| Bulk Up | The user tenses its muscles to bulk up its body, boosting its Attack and Defense stats. |
| Curse | A move that has different effects depending on whether the user is a Ghost type or not. |
The Tera Raid Chesnaught offers some interesting coverage issues. The Pokemon deals Grass, Rock, and Fighting type damage. To counter this you need to find a Pokemon build that can survive these types of damage while also dealing damage against Chesnaught.
Best Pokemon to Use Against Chesnaught
Solo: Appletun is good here. Have your Appletun at Level 100 and ensure it has Acid Spray, Giga Drain, and Iron Defense. Use Iron Defense to build up your defense and use Acid Spray to lower Chesnaught’s Special Defense. Mix in Gigdrain when you need health. Tera when available and just wittle it down until you’ve defeated the Chesnaught.
What Items does Chesnaught Drop during the Raid?
NOTE: Make a Basil, Bacon, Sweet Herba Mysicat and Spicy Herba Mystica sandwich before fighting Chesnaught. This sandwich triggers Raid Power: Rock Level 3 which improves the amount of items received at the end of Rock Tera Type Raids.
