Pokemon Scarlet & Violetis adding one of the most powerful Pokemon in the current meta as part of its upcoming 5-Star Tera Raid event.

Flutter Mane is exclusive toPokemon Scarlet, but it has quickly cemented its place as the most used Pokemon in Pokemon VGC, overtaking the likes of Incineroar and Rillaboom. One of the aspects that makesFlutter Mane so effectiveis its Protosynthesis ability, which boosts the Pokemon’s highest stat under sunny weather conditions or if it is holding Booster Energy. This can easily turn the tide in the favor of players if they have theright stats EV trained.

Best Counters For Flutter Mane 5-Star Tera Raid

This Tera Raid is trickier than some of the others, considering that Flutter Mane can appear in different Tera-types. Since Tera-type changes the Pokemon’s weaknesses, solely relying on Flutter Mane’s weakness to Steel and Ghost types might not be the best idea to take on this raid. Instead, focus on building a well-rounded team that works against most Tera-types.

A crucial thing to note is that Flutter Mane’s ability, Protosynthesis, can easily make it a formidable target. However, players can counter it by either playing it to their advantage or simply nullifying it. To make Protosynthesis inactive, players can counter Sunny Day by using a Pokemon with Rain Dance. The other option is to use your own Flutter Mane, which is considered one of the go-to strategies to beat Flutter Mane.

Scizor andIncineroar are great optionsfor countering Flutter Mane as well, so players can try those as well for a change. Last but not least, the good old master of Tera Raids, Adamant-nature Annihilape with Defiant ability can work against a variety of Flutter Mane Tera types.
