Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Samurott Tera Raid: All moves, drops, counters, and more

With the ongoing Seven-Star Tera Raid Battle event, Samurott has finally arrived in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Although the Generation IX titles are home to multiple previous-generation pocket monsters, not all have made their way into Paldea yet. The developers have slowly introduced them through black crystal Tera Raid Battle events.

Before Samurott, Charizard, Cinderace, Greninja, and Decidueye were added to Paldea with such events. The Tera Raid Battle utilizes the Gen IX gimmick of Terastalization, where trainers can come across formidable pocket monsters sporting unique Tera Types.

Read on to learn about the moves, drops, and counters for the Samurott Tera Raid Battle event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Samurott is a Water-type Generation V pocket monster that evolves from Dewott. The latter evolves from Oshawott, one of the three Starter Pokemon of Unova. Also known as the Formidable Pokemon, its physical characteristics are heavily influenced by that of a sea lion and a samurai.

As mentioned above, none of the pocket monsters in Samurott's evolution family is available in the wild in Paldea in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Trainers can get their hands on Oshawott by breeding a caught Samurott with a Ditto. Afterward, they can evolve the former to Dewott by leveling it to level 17.
