How to counter Blissey Tera Raids
Ignore everything you’ve learned about type matchups for this raid event. Instead, all you need to defeat Blissey is a level 100 fully trained Iron Hands.
If you’ve been raiding for a while, you likely already have a Raid ready Iron Hands. But if not, you need to build one exactly as shown below and follow these simple steps.
Start the battle by using Belly Drum. Then spam Close Combat and Drain Punch until Blissey faints. In most cases, players can beat Blissey in two or three turns. But with this Iron Hands, players can easily solo every Blissey Tera Raid during the event.
| Name | Level | Moveset | Ability | Held Item | Nature | EVs & IVs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 100 | -Belly Drum -Close Combat -Drain Punch -Wild Charge | Quark Drive | Black Belt | Adamant or Brave | HP & Attack |
Blissey Tera Raid rewards
If this raid event follows the trend as featured raids in the past, featured Blissey raids won’t drop Herba Mystica.
However, the battles are still well-worth the minimal effort to take on as they reward players with a huge number of Tera Shards and Exp Candy. They won’t drop any other items from their normal loot pool, so expect to get a ton of the following:
- Exp Candy L
- Exp Candy XL
- Tera Shards (Random & Based on Raid Tera Type)
- Rare Candy
