Strategy
The strategy I used for this solo run is using Clodsire.
Ideally you want to have at least HP, Attack and Special Defense bottle capped. (and EVs in Attack and Special Defense)
I bred mine to adopt the above stats, another important thing is making sure you have the Water Absorb Ability. This will be key to the strategy..
If your Clodsire 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 Clodsire specifically for this fight.
I’d say even more: this was the most fun I had in a 7-Star Tera raid in a while!
As item we’ll be using the Shell Bell.
You could replace this item with a Metronome if you like as I’m sure we heal enough of Water Absorb.
The biggest part of this strategy is just our Ability, as this will make it so ONLY Moonblast (Not Very Effective),
and Psychic (care: Super Effective) will be able to even reach us.
As you can see in the Video guide, I was confidently able to tank the Super Effective Psychic, so don’t worry.
So let’s get to the fight itself then:
I’ll be guiding you through every turn as below.
TURN 1-2
Use the Mud-Slap skill to swap lower Primarina’s Accuracy.
TURN 3
Use the Go all out! cheer on turn one
TURN 4
Use the Hang Tough! cheer on turn one
TURN 5-RESET
Use Poison Jab until Primarina resets your Stats and Abilities. This should take around 3 turns.
TURN 8-13
Use Curse on turn 8 through 13, 6 turns total in order to maximize (+6) our Attack stat (and Defense but that’s irrelevant for this fight).
14-END
After getting +6 Attack, we spam Poison Jab until Primarina faints.
TIP:
If you still have trouble, just leave and reenter until you have some good allies (healers might make this specific strat a bit harder).
This’ll give you some free advantage.
