Mimikyu is an incredibly popular Pokémon due to its design and trying to appear like Pikachu. This Fairy/Ghost-type Pokémon returns in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and has seen a fair share of use in the post-game, including Tera Raids. This may leave you wondering what the best Tera Raid Build for Mimikyu is in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Best moves for Mimikyu for Tera Raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Make sure you teach Mimikyu these moves before taking it into Tera Raid battles.
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Shadow Claw
- Misty Terrain
A Mimikyu with these moves will primarily be offensive, but it will provide good support through Misty Terrain. As this is an offensive build, you will want the Adamant nature to increase Mimikyu's Attack. A Sitrus Berry is a good held item, as this will trigger when its health drops low and restore it.
With Mimikyu's Disguise ability, it can take one hit before attacks start to damage it. This guarantees that you can set up Swords Dance to give Mimikyu a great boost to its Attack. After this, you should begin attacking with Play Rough or Shadow Claw, whichever will be super effective against your opponent. Misty Terrain can be used when needed, primarily to prevent status moves from affecting your team.
