In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids, the key to success is bringing the right Pokémon with the right build. One Pokémon that has worked well in Tera Raids is Azumarill. As a Water/Fairy type, the aqua rabbit has a strong matchup against six types—Fire, Ground, Rock, Dark, Dragon, and Fighting.
If you planning on challenging Tera Raids with any of these types, Azumarill might be the answer. Check out these builds to prepare for the aqua rabbit for its next raid.

Best Azumarill builds for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids
Azumarill’s biggest assets are its Huge Power Ability and the move Belly Drum. Huge Power doubles its Attack stat, while Belly Drum boosts that doubled Attack stat to plus six.
This combo makes Azumarill one of the strongest physical attackers to bring to Tera Raids. That said, we found Azumarill to be quite versatile—it also can play a more supportive role if needed.
Offensive Azumarill Tera Raid build
With an offensive Azumarill build, you can go in two different directions. If running a Water Tera Type, its main attacking move will be Liquidation or Aqua Tail. If you’re going with a Fairy Tera Type, it’ll be attacking with Play Rough. This will depend on the raid boss’s natural type and Tera Type.
The idea here is to set up with a Belly Drum and then constantly deal damage with Liquidation or Play Rough. Aqua Ring and the Shell Bell will help keep Azumarill healthy.
| Ability | EVs | Held Item | Moves | Nature | Tera Type |
| Huge Power | 252 HP 252 Attack 4 Sp. Def | Shell Bell | Belly Drum Liquidation Play Rough Aqua Ring | Adamant | Water or Fairy |

Supportive Azumarill Tera Raid builds
If you want to play a more supportive role when challenging Tera Raids with friends, Azumarill has access to a range of good support moves. It can boost its allies’ damage with Helping Hand, change the weather with Rain Dance or Snowscape, and set up Misty Terrain.
It also has stat-reducing moves like Charm and Fake Tears to weaken the raid boss. You can customize the move set to counter specific raid bosses depending on their types, moves, and Abilities.
The build below will counter physical attackers:
| Ability | EVs | Held Item | Moves | Nature | Tera Type |
| Thick Fat or Sap Sipper | 252 HP 252 Defense 4 Sp. Def | Leftovers | Helping Hand Rain Dance Misty Terrain Charm | Impish (+ Defense, – Sp. Atk) | Water or Fairy |
This last one is similar, except it counters special attackers:
| Ability | EVs | Held Item | Moves | Nature | Tera Type |
| Thick Fat or Sap Sipper | 252 HP 252 Sp. Def 4 Defense | Leftovers | Helping Hand Rain Dance Light Screen Fake Tears | Careful (+ Sp. Def, – Sp. Atk) | Water or Fairy |
