The Best Counters for Flutter Mane
Flutter Mane has a lot of great counters taking into account their Ghost and Fairy typing. There’s one Pokémon counter that will make quick work of both Flutter Mane and Iron Jungulis because it resists three of their four combined typings.
Kingambit
This Pokémon is easily the go-to for these raids as Kingambit resists Fairy, Dark, and Flying types. Here are all the basic details you need to know at a glance to get your Kingambit prepared.
- Tera Type: Steel
- Nature: Adamant (Special Attack Down, Attack Up)
- EV Spread: HP 252, Attack 252, Special Defense 4
- Ability: Defiant
- Held Item: Shell Bell
- Moveset:
- Kowtow Cleave
- Iron Head
- Taunt
- Swords Dance
With a natural resistance to Fairy from Flutter Mane (and Flying and Dark from Iron Jungulis) Kingambit is easily the best choice to take into fights against either of these Tera Raid Pokémon.
Players will want to boost up their attack stat using Swords Dance, then use Taunt to prevent the Tera Raid Pokémon from using debuff moves on you. Then go to town using Kowtow Cleave or Iron Head. The Shell Bell held item will help to keep your HP topped up.
Incineroar
Here are all the basic details you need to know at a glance to get your Incineroar prepared.
- Tera Type: Fire
- Nature: Adamant (Attack Up, Special Attack Down)
- EV Spread: HP 252, Attack 252, Speed 4
- Ability: Intimidate
- Held Item: Shell Bell
- Moveset:
- Sword Dance
- Darkest Lariat
- Sunny Day
- Temper Flare
Similar to Kingambit, Incineroar boasts a great spread of resistance to Flutter Mane. Incineroar will take reduced damage from Fire, Ghost, and Fairy-type moves.
Players shoulder start with boosting their attack using Swords Dance, then just like with Kingambit use Taunt to prevent the Tera Raid Pokémon from undoing your buffs. Then unleash your strongest move between Darkest Lariat and Temper Flare to finish the fight.
Scizor
Here are all the basic details you need to know at a glance to get your Scizor prepared.
- Tera Type: Bug
- Nature: Adamant (Special Attack Down, Attack Up)
- EV Spread: Defense 4, Attack 252, HP 252
- Ability: Swarm
- Held Item: Scope Leens
- Moveset:
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Skitter Smack
- Light Screen
Scizor is only resistant to Fairy Type moves from Flutter Mane, but Skitter Smack can lower Flutter Mane’s incredibly high special attack stat. Then all players will need to do is boost twice with Swords Dance and go to town with Bullet Punch. Keeping up Light Screen will also help players take significantly less damage as well.
