It is the third and final starter from Pokémon Legends: Arceus that will appear in raids in a row.

Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Typhlosion seven-star raid.

Pokémon SV: Typhlosion raid guide

Luckily for us, Typhlosion is a Fire-type Pokémon with quite a shallow move pool that mostly includes Fire-type moves.

It will have a Ghost tera-type, and it will come with Shadow Ball.

It will run Sunny Day to power up its Eruption, and will use a mix of special and physical-type attacks

It will also have Flash Fire meaning that it cannot be hit by Fire-type moves.

Here’s the set we predict for Typhlosion:

The Unrivaled Typhlosion – Level 100

• Nature – Mild
• Ability – Flash Fire
• Item – None
• Tera type – Ghost
• Potential moveset – Shadow Ball, Sunny Day, Eruption, Play Rough, Earthquake

Pokémon SV: Typhlosion counters

Pokémon that resist burns, and that can still deal out big damage in return.

Here are the Pokémon we recommend.

Goodra

This is more of a supportive set, as Goodra comes with a huge number of supportive moves, and great bulk and typing.

Both Chilling Water and Acid Spray will help weaken Typhlosion, and Rain Dance negates its sun boost.

We worry about its damage output so you will likely want another attacker on your team.

Goodra – Level 100

• Nature – Modest
• Ability – Gooey
• Item – Shell Bell
• Tera type – Dark
• Potential moveset – Tera Blast, Rain Dance, Chilling Water, Acid Spray

Dachsbun

Dachsbun’s Well-baked Body means that it cannot be hurt by Fire-type moves and it also resists much of Typhlosion’s move set.

It has super-effective Crunch to use against Typhlosion, while boosting the whole team’s attack with Howl.

Rain Dance rounds out the set to help others that don’t resist fire.

Dachsbun – Level 100

• Nature – Careful
• Ability – Well-baked Body
• Item – Shell Bell
• Tera type – Dark
• Potential moveset – Howl, Wish, Rain Dance, Crunch

Ursaring

While Ursaring cannot evolve in SV, it still has an evolution meaning it can boost its defences with Eviolite.

Belly Drum is one of the games’ most powerful moves maximising attack, while the slow Ursaring deals double damage with Pay Back.

The ability Guts furthers attack by doubling Ursaring’s damage if it gets burned.

Ursaring – Level 100

• Nature – Careful
• Ability – Guts
• Item – Eviolite
• Tera type – Dark
• Potential moveset – Belly Drum, Pay Back, Rain Dance, Charm

Pelipper

Pelipper’s Drizzle will negate Sunny Day, and power down Typhlosion’s Fire-type moves.

It can support others with Helping Hand, and stay healthy with Stockpile.

Pelipper doesn’t have strong moves against Typhlosion but would make a strong supportive set.

Here’s what we recommend:

Pelipper – Level 100

• Nature – Calm
• Ability – Drizzle
• Item – Damp Rock
• Tera type – Dark
• Potential moveset – Tera Blast, Stockpile, Helping Hand, Hurricane
