The Best Counters for Iron Jugulis
Iron Jugulis has a lot of great counters taking into account their Dark and Flying typing. There’s one Pokémon counter that will make quick work of both Iron Jugulis and Flutter Mane 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. Which means it’ll be particularly effective against Iron Jugulis. 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 Dark and Flying from Iron Jugulis (Fairy for Flutter Mane), 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.
Iron Valiant
Here are all the basic details you need to know at a glance to get your Iron Valiant prepared.
- Tera Type: Fighting
- Nature: Adamant (Attack Up, Special Attack Down)
- EV Spread: HP 252, Attack 252, Defense 4
- Ability: Quark Drive
- Held Item: Shell Bell
- Moveset:
- Spirit Break
- Swords Dance
- Light Screen
- Drain Punch
When Iron Jugulis uses Electric Terrain, it will power up Iron Valiant’s ability Quark Drive. Spirit Break can be used to lower their special attack, which coupled with Light Screen will keep Iron Valiant more than defended.
With Drain Punch, the player won’t have to worry about healing and should make this fight a breeze.
Bellibolt
Here are all the basic details you need to know at a glance to get your Bellibolt prepared.
- Tera Type: Electric
- Nature: Modest (Special Attack Up, Attack Down)
- EV Spread: HP 252, Special Attack 252, Defense 4
- Ability: Electromorphosis
- Held Item: Magnet
- Moveset:
- Parabolic Charge
- Light Screen
- Eerie Impulse
- Acid Spray
Iron Jugulis will feed Bellibolt all the power he needs, giving him extra charge through his ability Electromorphosis. Eerie Impulse can keep Iron Jugulis’ special attack low, so he takes damage along with Light Screen up.
Parabolic Charge will be players' bread and butter, dealing damage and keeping Bellibolt healed up throughout the entire battle.
