Best counters for Hisuian Typhlosion in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Vaporeon

The Water-type Eevee evolution, Vaporeon, is one of the best counters to Hisuain Typhlosion for a variety of reasons: from its typing and ability to natural capabilities in both offense and defense.
The build and moveset we’d recommend for this aquatic ‘mon is as follows:
- Ability: Hydration
- Nature: Modest
- Tera Type: Water
- Hold Item: Shell Bell
- EVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Sp. Def, 4 HP
- Moveset: Calm Mind, Fake Tears, Rain Dance, Surf
The biggest concern with Hisuian Typhlosion’s moveset is its combo of Will-O-Wisp and Infernal Parade, the latter inflicting double the damage thanks to the former inflicting a Burn – of which Vaporeon counters entirely with using Rain Dance alongside its Hydration ability to nullify it.
By combining the uses of both Calm Mind and Fake Tears as well, Vaporeon can easily buff both its Sp. Atk and Sp. Def whilst debuffing Typhlosion the Unrivaled’s Sp. Def. By eventually following up with Surf, an already powerful super-effective Water-type move, you’ll have beaten the Typhlosion Tera Raid in no time.
Goodra

In contrast to Vaporeon, Goodra is another powerfully bulky Pokemon that will factor in some support for your raid party members into its moveset as well.
Here’s how we’d recommend to build Goodra in the fight against Hisuian Typhlosion:
- Ability: Hydration
- Nature: Modest
- Tera Type: Water
- Hold Item: Shell Bell
- EVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Sp. Def, 4 HP
- Moveset: Acid Spray, Life Dew, Rain Dance, Surf
Like Vaporeon, this Goodra build combos Rain Dance and the Hydration ability to nullify Burns from Typlosions Will-O-Wisp whilst also boosting the damage you’ll inflict from using Surf. Along with Acid Spray to lower Typlosion’s Sp. Def by two stages with each use.
Life Dew will recover both 25% of Goodra’s own HP and those of your allies as well – letting you give your whole party some extra longevity whilst debuffing the Unrivaled.
Camerupt

Unexpectedly fighting fire with fire, the dual Fire-and-Ground-type Camerupt works as another one of the brilliant counters to beat the Hisuian Typhlosion thanks to the versatile range of moves it can learn.
The best Camerupt build to against Hisuian Typhlosion the Unrivaled is as follows:
- Ability: Anger Point/Magma Armor/Solid Rock
- Nature: Modest
- Tera Type: Ground
- Hold Item: Shell Bell
- EVs: 252 Sp.Atk, 252 Sp.Def, 4 HP
- Moveset: Amnesia, Earth Power, Growth, Rain Dance
Not only is this Camerupt build effective by buffing up its defences with Amnesia and knocking down Typhlosion’s with Earth Power, but by also using one of the boss’ moves against it. Growth can already boost Camerupt’s Atk and Sp. Atk by one stage, but that’s doubled when Typlosion uses Sunny Day.
What’s more, whilst Camerupt is immune to Burns from Will-O-Wisp thanks to its part-Fire-Typing, you can still have Rain Dance ready to use if you wish to lower the effectiveness of Typlosion’s Flamethrower against you and your allies as well.

Although Hisuian Typlosion can be transferred from Pokemon Legends: Arceus via Pokemon HOME, beating this 7-Star boss wielding the Mightiest Mark means you’ll have a competitive-level build and moveset to add to your collection.
Plus, beating this Tera Raid also nets you a whole bunch of extra rewards like treasures, vitamins, and Tera Shards for your effort.
How to find Hisuian Typlosion Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Click to enlarge
You can quickly find the Hisuian Typlosion the Unrivaled Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlett & Violet by looking for the black crystals on the map, similar to 7-Star raids of the past like the Decidueye Tera Raid.
This Hisuian Typlosion will have a Fire Tera Type. In this case, all you need to do is look for the Fire-type symbol on a shining black crystal on your map to spot the raid’s location.

In case you want to test any counters different from the list above, you’ll also need to keep in mind the Hisuian Typlosion moveset the Tera Raid boss will use:
- Flamethrower
- Focus Blast
- Infernal Parade
- Sunny Day
- Will-O-Wisp
By lacking Solar Beam, Hisuian Typlosion isn’t as deadly a 7-Star Tera Raid boss as it could have been. Nevertheless, the combination of Will-O-Wisp to inflict a Burn status to double the damage by Infernal Parade is still one to look out for.

Although a dual Ghost-and-Fire type, Typlosion’s Fire Tera Type means that the 7-Star Mightiest Mark’s weaknesses only include Water, Ground, and Rock-type attacks.
With Focus Blast in Typlosion’s moveset, however, I’d personally avoid using Rock-type Pokemon to avoid any big super-effective hits that could cause faints and quickly drop your Tera Raid timer.
