Players of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have come together to formulate strategies aimed at overcoming Baxcalibur the Unrivaled during Tera Raids. Notable contenders include Orthworm and Avalugg. This approach utilizes resilient Pokemon and their Body Press move to significantly damage Baxcalibur.

Baxcalibur, known as the Ice Dragon Pokemon, is a pseudo-legendary creature in the series, evolving from Frigibax and Arctibax. It can typically be encountered in Seven-Star Tera Raid Dens across the Paldea region, featuring impressive HP and physical attack stats. It begins battles using Swords Dance, followed by high-damage moves such as Glaive Rush, Icicle Crash, Earthquake, and Crunch. Additionally, it can reset the stats of its enemies periodically to extend the duration of combat.

In an exchange on r/PokemonScarletViolet, a user named TranzitBusRouteB shared tactics where Orthworm and Avalugg utilize their high defense to enhance their offensive capabilities, specifically with Body Press, which leverages their defense against Baxcalibur’s weakness to Fighting-type attacks. Recommended moves for an Avalugg include Iron Defense, Body Press, Chilling Water, and Recover, making it a formidable choice against Baxcalibur’s attacks. While Orthworm benefits from its Earth Eater ability to recover from Earthquake, Avalugg’s superior defense allows for better damage output.

Moreover, trainers have emphasized using Fighting-type as their central Tera type, boosting the damage potential of their attacks while mitigating weaknesses against Baxcalibur’s offensive moves. The opportunity to battle and capture Baxcalibur the Unrivaled will remain until June 29.
