Strategy
The strategy I used for this solo run is using Serperior.
Ideally you want to have at least HP and Special Attack bottle capped. (and EVs in Special Attack and HP)
I bred mine to adopt the above stats, another important thing is making sure you have the Contrary Ability. This will provide a very efficient way to boost our Special Attack stat.
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.
Trust me this is one of the easiest 7-Star fights I’ve had so far.
As item we’ll be using the Covert Cloak.
The use of this item is to prevent secondary effects of moves used by Pikachu
such as Iron Tail’s defense stat reduction and Thunder’s Paralysis.
As you can see in the Video guide, I was confidently able to defeat Pikachu.
So let’s get to the fight itself then:
I’ll be guiding you through every turn as below.
TURN 1
Use the Sunny Day skill to further reduce any water damage taken.
TURN 2
Use the Go all out! cheer on turn one
TURN 3
Use the Leaf Storm skill to build up your Tera charge while boosting your Special Attack by 2 stages at the same time.
TURN 4
Use the Giga Drain skill to build up your Tera charge while recovering some HP.
TURN 5-6
Use the Leaf Storm skill to build up your Tera charge while boosting your Special Attack by 2 stages at the same time. As soon as you are able to, make sure to Terastallize for the extra damage.
TURN 7-END
Use the Leaf Storm skill to damage Pikachu, alternating with Giga Drain whenever you need to recover some HP.
TIP:
If you still have trouble, just leave and reenter until you have some good allies.
This’ll give you some free advantage.
