The unprecedented Primarina Tera raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are no joke. You'll need a strong counter and a good strategy to beat them.

The Alola Water Stater will be the focus of the seven-star Tera Raids popping up in the Paldea region from Thursday, May 9 at 7:00 PM CT to Sunday, May 12 at 6:59 PM CT, and the following week from May 16 at 7:00 PM CT to May 19 at 6:59 PM CT. This Primarina comes with the event-exclusive Mightiest Mark, so give this tough Tera Raid a try if you're looking to add another special Starter to your collection. Here's what you need to know to counter and defeat the Unrivaled Primarina in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

This Primarina has some nasty tricks up her sleeve, but she's not invincible. The key to beating the raid is to bring a Pokémon that can avoid these tricks, absorb hits, and deal significant damage to Primarina. To identify the right counter, you'll first need to consider Primarina's type, Tera Type, moveset, and battle patterns.

Primarina is a Water/Fairy-type Pokémon with a Fairy Tera Type for this event. Since its Tera Type matches its natural Fairy type, it will hit extra hard with Fairy attacks. As such, you'll want to go with a Poison or Steel-type counter to counter those Fairy attacks while hitting Primarina for super-effective damage.
