The Best Espathra Tera raid build serves trainers as a versatile Psychic Special Attacker/Supporter, particularly effective against Cinderace The Unrivalled 7-Star Tera Raids. This build aims to maximize Special Attack while enabling the transfer of stat boosts to allies.

How to Catch Espathra:

• Espathra can be found in several locations across the Paldea Region: the grasslands near Glaseado Mountain, the Northern-Most point of North Province (Area One), the North-East Asado Desert, the Eastern part of South Province (Area Six), and Area Zero near Research Stations 3, 4, and the Zero Base.
• Alternatively, Flitte evolves into Espathra at level 35.
• For optimal stats, look for Espathra in 6-Star Tera Raids (Black Crystal Tera Raids) which often have 6 perfect Individual Values.
