What I use for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Raids

Here are some pokémon I like to use in 5 and 6 star raids and how they're set up.

Iron Hands

Obligatory moves are Belly Drum and Drain Punch. Use Belly Drum first turn and then spam Drain Punch. During the shield phase, you might want to re-use Belly Drum since the Raid pokémon can reset your stat changes, but it's still pretty straightforward. Belly Drum halves your HP to max out your Attack and Drain Punch restores it right away. You need Iron Hands to have an Adamant nature (Attack up and Special Attack down) for this build, either naturally or use an Adamant Mint. IV invest to the max on the Attack and HP. It usually holds a Black Belt. On some occasions the Clear Amulet is also an option. Tera type is Combat, as it should be.

Garchomp

Big fan of her, ever since Cynthia beat my ass with her Garchomp for the first time in 2009. You could say it was love at first sight. Anyways, it's a Dragon and Ground type but I think a Dragon Tera type is a better choice. Must have a Jolly nature, with Speed up and Special Attack down. Use Swords Dance 1-3 times to enhance your Attack stat and then go with Outrage or Earthquake. To deal with the confusion that comes after Outrage, make it hold a Persim berry. Another option is to use Dragon Claw instead. Max out its Attack and Speed stats.

Skeledirge

The coolest starter in this game. Modest nature with Special Attack and Defense stats maxed out. Use an ability patch to make it have the Unaware ability. In combat, you basically spam Torch Song and that's enough. No need to use turns enhancing your Special Attack stat since attacking with Torch Song does the job on its own! Mud-Slap can be useful if you need to lower your opponent's precision. I don't want to worry about HP so I make it hold a Shell Bell.
