The 7-star Tera Raid featuring Meganium in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet has proven to be unexpectedly challenging for some players, with its back-to-back attacks catching many off guard. Some trainers have described it as the most difficult Tera Raid yet, prompting frustration and discussions on social media about strategies for taking down the powerful Pokemon. Despite the ongoing debate, it remains to be seen whether Meganium will surpass 7-star Mewtwo as the game's most difficult Tera Raid.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet trainers have devised various one-hit knockout strategies to defeat the 7-star Meganium in Tera Raid battles, including using teams with Umbreon, Medicham, Urshifu, Krookodile, Meowscarada, Oranguru, and Magikarp. These strategies involve moves like Screech, Taunt, Swords Dance, Skill Swap, and Power Trip to achieve the OHKO. These inventive tactics aim to help players earn Herba Mystica and catch their own Meganium during the limited-time event.
