The long awaited historical form of "Suicune" IconSuicune, Walking Wake, is finally with trainers in the form of 5-Star Tera Raids. But what are the best Pokémon builds to use against it? More to the point, what moves will Walking Wake use? We all need to know the stats it’ll be rocking and the drops we can expect from this new Paradox Legendary Pokémon, so let’s get into the Walking Wake Tera Raid event builds, moves, stats and drops.

Fight water with water? It’s a good job Bellibolt was in the raid party!

Walking Wake Tera Raid Event - Stats

Although 5-Star Tera Raids pose no threat for most trainers who have completed the main storylines in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Walking Wake is a bigger challenge than others due to its natually buffed legendary stats.

Walking Wake Tera Raid Type Effectiveness and Weakness

Our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet type match up chart

As we can see from the above chart, we’re going to get the most damage out of using electric Electric moves. Usually they’ll deal twice as much damage as usual, but Walking Wake reduces this due to only deal half damage. With the Walking Wake Tera Raid however, we can enjoy the effectiveness of electric Electric type attacks thanks to its Water Water Tera Typing. grass Grass-type attacks will also work great, but we have a couple of great Electric Pokémon build options in mind.

Best Walking Wake Builds

Iron Hands

!Iron Hands is exclusive to Pokemon Violet.

Our Iron Hands Tera Raid build works great against Water-types, including ridiculously strong legendaries such as Walking Wake. It is however a Pokémon Violet exclusive, so trainers will need a copy of the game to trade it over to Scarlet or to find one in a trade online. By using Belly Drum to max out Iron Hands attack stat, it can then attack full force with "Thunder Punch" iconThunder Punch. Pair this with its Quark Drive ability and a "Booster Energy" iconBooster Energy Held item to boost its Attack stat even further. For those who can’t get hold of Iron Hands, here’s another option.

Bellibolt

Bellibolt is a powerful electric type Pokémon when used correctly. It’s also one of the best Pokémon designs in years.

Our Bellibolt build is also a solid option for zapping the proverbial pants of Decidueye The Unrivaled in it’s 5-Star Tera Raid event. The main strategy here is the same as the "Decidueye" IconDecidueye Tera Raid Event, which is using the ability Electromorphosis and the move Parabolic charge to deal massive electric attack damage whilst dealing Bellibolt. If healing isn’t needed, Bellibolt can drive more damage home with "Thunderbolt" iconThunderbolt or use "Light Screen" iconLight Screen / "Reflect" iconReflect to defend. Pairing a modest nature with a HP and SP. Atk EV focus will make Bellibolt a force to be reckoned with against Walking Wake.
