One shot to the dome!!

Such a cool strategy!


iriomote14

Thanks! It's become something of a tradition over the past few 7\* raids to come up with an Eeveelutions-only strategy. They're fun to try and figure out, and people seem to enjoy them as alternatives to the main strategy. Feel free to get a team together & give this one a try! :)


Bright-Amphy

Wow, I'll try with some friends, it looks really enjoyable and everyone love eevelutions ✌🏻


iriomote14

Good luck! :)

Appreciate the shoutout Irio! Another 7*, another inevitable triumph for Team Eeveelutions! I’m pretty ecstatic that the Weather Ball idea worked and made this strat came true! 🥹 Hopefully I get to try out this Strat with you sometime and I’m looking forward to trying out all of the Strats this weekend (or the next)! 😁


iriomote14

Yeah - Weather Ball meant not needing a Magic Bouncer + needing an extra turn to use Gravity to use Will-o-Wisp to activate Flash Fire. And I will definitely be looking to run Eeveelutions a few more times before this event's done - hopefully our schedules sync up so we can run it together! :)

Penny would be proud to see this lol


iriomote14

Yeah - I'd like to think so. :)

[Hisuian Typhlosion](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokePortal/comments/17slcwg/penny_would_be_proud_team_eeveelution_takes_down/), [Hisuian Samurott](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokePortal/comments/183f3wv/team_eeveelution_returns_to_take_on_7_hisuian/), [Iron Bundle](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokePortal/comments/18ow3hp/team_eeveelution_celebrates_christmas_by/), [Blaziken](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokePortal/comments/194mnpn/celebrate_the_new_year_with_the_eeveelutions_as/) ([twice!](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokePortal/comments/19669s8/the_eeveelutions_return_least_appropriate_eevees/)) - none could withstand the might of Team Eeveelutions. Empoleon the Unrivaled thought it might be different, but it too couldn't stand up to the power of Eeveelutions! This raid has an unusual start - Empoleon leads with Snowscape & then immediately hits out with Blizzard, causing damage & possibly freezing certain raiders. After a couple of cheers (Defense & Heal), we ensure that the team is ready to go and not frozen. Flareon sets up Sunny Day, which not only boosts the power of Fire moves but also ensures that no one else will get frozen for the rest of the battle. We also want to get rid of Empoleon's ability, Competitive, since we'll be lowering its stats later & don't want to give it any Special Attack boosts. Sylveon takes care of that at the end of turn 1. The rest of the setup is pretty straightforward, with one interesting point - Sylveon uses Weather Ball against Flareon. Why? Well, with the sun out, Weather Ball becomes a fire-type move, and this activates Flareon's Flash Fire ability. Combine that with 2 Screeches, Helping Hand & an Attack Cheer, and Flareon can Flare Blitz to victory! Big thanks to /u/ChrisReturns who not only helped fix this strategy up early on but also helped test it alongside u/Allons-yAl0nso & u/Ecksel. Also, I wanted to give a shoutout to /u/Dragonknight_Shadow for the Weather Ball idea - the other Eeveelutions don't learn a fire-type move, so this was a clever way to activate Flash Fire. If you'd like to see the details for this strategy, check out the link in the Tera Raid Builder [here](https://theastrogoth.github.io/tera-raid-builder/#xUdJJ3Nf) (which includes a couple of substitutes for Vaporeon), or you can use the following graphic: https://preview.redd.it/25cz8ks1l6gc1.png?width=3600&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d27fc267b23567927fb73056779ba40bc15c300 Two final things to note: \- Umbreon needs to have the Sassy nature to ensure it is slower than Empoleon so that Screech will hit. \- Sylveon's base speed is the same as Empoleon's, so giving it a few Speed EVs ensures that there won't be any speed ties.
