Many players will continue to use their starter Pokemon long after the credits roll, and here’s how to turn the Fire-type Skeledirge into a viable Tera Raid option.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet introduced three more starting lines following the tradition of each being a Grass, Water, and Fire type. And while these are strong during the main game, players must build them correctly to be viable in postgame.

More specifically, five-, six-, and seven-star Tera Raids require a lot more effort than four-star raids and below. Players will need to be more aware of matchup types, movesets and stats. And while there are much better options out there, starter Pokemon can still be great in Tera Raids.

This guide will focus specifically on the Fire-type starter Skeledirge – the strongest of the three in terms of raids – and how his signature Torch Song move makes him a fantastic special attacker.
