About Terastal Calculator

What is Terastal Calculator?

Terastal Calculator is a specialized tool designed to help Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players find the best counter Pokémon for any Tera Raid Battle. The calculator analyzes type matchups, stat distributions, abilities, and raid-specific movesets to recommend optimal counters for raids ranging from 1-star to 7-star difficulty.

Whether you're preparing for a challenging 7-star event raid or optimizing your team for daily 6-star raids, Terastal Calculator provides detailed recommendations including specific Pokémon builds, ability suggestions, and comprehensive type effectiveness analysis. The tool considers multiple factors: offensive and defensive type matchups, stat advantages (displayed as Δ delta values), abilities that counter specific raid movesets, and complete resistance-immunity-weakness profiles.

How It Works

The calculator uses an advanced algorithm that evaluates each potential counter Pokémon based on several key factors:

  • Type Matchup Analysis: Calculates offensive effectiveness against the raid boss's Tera Type and defensive resistances to incoming attacks
  • Stat Comparisons: Compares your Pokémon's offensive stats against the raid boss's defensive stats, showing the difference as Δ (delta) values
  • Ability Recommendations: Identifies abilities that specifically counter the raid boss's known moveset, such as immunities or damage nullification
  • Comprehensive Scoring: Combines all factors into an overall effectiveness rating to help you choose the best counter

Why Use This Calculator?

Tera Raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduce unique challenges with the Terastal phenomenon. When a raid boss Terastallizes, it changes its type completely, altering both its offensive capabilities and defensive weaknesses. This means traditional type matchup knowledge isn't always sufficient - a Fire-type Charizard that becomes Dragon Tera Type suddenly has entirely different strengths and weaknesses.

Terastal Calculator takes the guesswork out of team building by:

  • Saving time on research and calculation
  • Optimizing your Pokémon builds for specific raid encounters
  • Helping you understand complex type interactions and Tera Type mechanics
  • Providing strategies for difficult 6-star and 7-star raids
  • Supporting all DLC content including The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk
