Summary

  • Quaquaval the Unrivaled is available in Seven-Star Tera Raid Dens until March 20.
  • Quaquaval follows Meowscarada and Skeledirge as Paldean Starters as Tera Raid Bosses.
  • Earn the Mightiest Mark after beating Quaquaval, being mindful of its hidden ability Moxie.

The video game Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has introduced a new Seven-Star Tera Raid battle, featuring Quaquaval the Unstoppable. For trainers playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, there’s about a week left to challenge and capture a level 100 Paldean starter with a powerful ability.

Known as the Dance Pokemon, Quaquaval is the final form of Quaxly and Quaxwell, transforming at level 36. This Water and Fighting dual-type starter boasts impressive physical attack and speed capabilities. While Blastoise and Swampert are renowned for their defensive prowess, Quaquaval shares some similarities with Greninja and Samurott in terms of stats and move variety. In the games Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Quaquaval’s type composition makes it a reliable choice against Steel, Fire, and Rock-type opponents. However, it may face difficulties when encountering Electric attacks from numerous adversaries.

Having concluded the Skeledirge Tera Raid battle, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers now have one last Paldean Starter to encounter as a raid boss. Nintendo has shared on social media that Quaquaval the Unstoppable will be seen in Seven-Star Tera Raid dens until Thursday, March 20, at 7:59 PM Eastern. This Dance-type Pokemon possesses Water as its Tera type and bestows the Mightiest Mark upon trainers who manage to defeat it. Quaquaval the Unstoppable has Moxie as its concealed ability, which further boosts its already formidable physical attack stat by one level after defeating an opponent.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Quaquaval Tera Raid Details (March 13 to 20, 2025)

  • Quaquaval the Unrivaled will appear in Seven-Star Tera Raid Dens from March 13 to 20.
  • Quaquaval follows Meowscarada and Skeledirge as Paldean Starters that became Tera Raid Bosses.
  • Pokemon trainers will earn the Mightiest Mark after beating Quaquaval.
  • The Dancer Pokemon’s hidden ability can be a problem if not dealt with quickly.

Beyond justifying its dance-loving persona as a Pokémon, Quackavel’s actions mirror this, too. As per Serebii.net, Quackavel starts off a battle by using Bulk Up to increase its physical attack and defense stats. Throughout the fight, it uses Aqua Step, Brick Break, Brave Bird, and Ice Spinner to inflict damage on different Pokémon types. After some turns, it sets up a shield and later employs Rain Dance for enhanced Aqua Step performance. Towards the end of the raid, Quackavel makes use of Bulk Up once more.

In order to ensure victory, it’s essential to deprive Quaquaval of its concealed ability by employing actions such as Skill Swap and Gastro Acid. A single Pokemon’s defeat can lead to a chain reaction in the battle, which is something we want to avoid. On the other hand, trainers playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet may opt for moves like Iron Defense or Chilling Water to lessen incoming damage, since Brick Break eliminates Reflect and Light Screen effects.

Because Quaquaval doesn’t have any Ground-type attacks, powerful Electric Pokemon such as Miraidon, Bellibolt, and Zekrom are likely to be successful in defeating the new Tera Raid battle. It remains to be seen what strategies trainers of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will employ to conquer Quaquaval the Unstoppable.
