This guide details the best build for Perrserker to use in Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, focusing on its effectiveness in 5 and 6 Star raids, as well as special event raids. It covers how to obtain a Galarian Meowth, evolve it into Perrserker, and optimize its stats, ability, moveset, and held item for maximum impact.

How to Catch A Perrserker raid build

Obtaining a Perrserker for a raid build requires evolving a Galarian Meowth, which is obtained through Salvatore’s Bonding quest. To start this quest, complete Salvatore’s Languages Classes to build friendship. Then, have four conversations with him in specific locations: the Staff Room at Naranja/Uva Academy, the Schoolyard (bring a Potion), the Biology Lab, and finally the Staff Room again, where he will give you the Galarian Meowth.

Once you have the Galarian Meowth, level it up to 28 (either through battles or Exp. Candies) to evolve it into Perrserker.

Perrserker Raid Build

This general-purpose build is designed for 5 and 6 Star Tera Raids and event Tera Raids, focusing on the move Iron Head and maximizing Attack (Atk). The ideal setup for your Perrserker is:

Nature and EVs

Change Perrserker's nature to Adamant using an Adamant Mint from Chansey Supply. This boosts Atk at the cost of Special Attack (Sp. Atk). Hyper Train your Perrserker, prioritizing HP for survivability and Atk for damage output. Aim to reach Level 100 for optimal performance.

Ability

Perrserker needs its Hidden Ability, Steely Spirit, which boosts the damage of Steel-type moves by 50%. This ability can only be obtained using an Ability Patch, a rare reward from 6 Star Tera Raids.

Held Item

Equip the Metal Coat as the held item. This item further boosts the power of Steel-type moves, significantly increasing Iron Head's damage.

Moveset

Perrserker learns Taunt at Level 20, Iron Head at Level 28, and Screech at Level 36. The TM for Helping Hand is required and can be found easily outside the Pokémon Center in South Province Area Three.

Perrserker Raid Build Strategy

In a Tera Raid, Perrserker can function as a support Pokémon. Use Taunt to force the opponent to use only damaging moves, Helping Hand to boost your allies' damage, and Screech to lower the opponent's Defense by two stages. After debuffing the opponent, Iron Head can often one-shot the target.
