Strategy

The strategy I used for this solo run is using Serperior.
Ideally you want to have at least HP, Special Attack and Special Defense bottle capped. (and EVs in Special Attack and Special Defense)

For mine, I IV trained the above stats and additionally bred it to have a Modest nature.

If your Serperior is level 100, and you follow the step-by-step, this shouldn’t prove to be a problem at all,
below is our setup for Serperior specifically for this fight.

As item we’ll be using the Shell Bell, as it’ll sustain us through the fight.

The hardest parts about this set is the fact you’ll need a hidden ability and a Stellar tera type.
It took me quite a while to gather the necessary 50 Stella Tera Shards, but it’s worth it.

So let’s get to the fight itself then:

I’ll be guiding you through every turn as below.

TURN 1

Use the Go all out! cheer on turn one

Turn 1 using the "Go all out" cheer

TURN 2

Use the Hang tough! cheer on turn one

Turn 2 using the "Hang tough" cheer

TURN 3-6

Use Leaf Storm on turn three through turn 6 (you want to get the double boost 3 times for max Special Attack)

Turn 3 Leaf Storm Leaf Storm Contrary boost

TURN 7 - RESET

Use Tera Blast on turn 7 You should be able to Terastallize on this turn as well, which you should do.

Turn 7 Tera Blast after Terastallizing

Keep using Tera Blast until your stats get reset by Blastoise.\

RESET

At around 60% Time left, Blastoise will reset your stats (being your +6 Special Attack stat)

Blastoise nullifying our stats

The first turn after this reset we want to use Gastro Acid, the main reason is that if we Leaf Storm here we lower our own stats (Contrary ability is nullified this turn). The coming turns we will regain our Special Attack boost with 3x Leaf Storm again.

After getting to max Special Attack stat once more, we’ll repeat the Tera Blast spam until the end.

TIP:
If you still have trouble, just leave and reenter until you have some good allies.
This’ll give you some free advantage.

Victory!
