👊 Solo The Raid: Defeating Venusaur in Sevenstar Raids with Annihilate

Venusaur raids in the Sevenstar category can be challenging, but don't worry! In this article, I'm going to show you an alternative strategy to the popular Hsu and Goodra approach. With the Pokémon Annihilate, which is already available in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you can confidently solo these raids. Let's dive into the details of this strategy step by step.

2. Counters for Sevenstar Venusaur Raids

Before we get into the solo strategy, let's quickly review the counters available for Sevenstar Venusaur raids. These include the popular Hsu and Goodra strategy, as well as the lesser-known Annihilate strategy.

2.1. Hsu and Goodra Strat

The Hsu and Goodra strategy is widely discussed and utilized for Sevenstar Venusaur raids. However, not everyone has access to Hsu and Goodra, which is why I'm going to focus on the Annihilate strategy in this article.

2.2. Using Annihilate

Annihilate is a Gen N Pokémon with Fighting and Ghost types. It is readily available in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, making it a convenient option for soloing Sevenstar Venusaur raids. In the following sections, I will explain the ideal build and moveset for Annihilate, as well as the step-by-step solo strategy.

3. Building and Moveset for Annihilate

To effectively use Annihilate for soloing Sevenstar Venusaur raids, it's essential to optimize its build and moveset. Here's a breakdown of the recommended setup:

• Full HP and Full Attack with an Adamant Nature
• Ability: Fant (to counter Venusaur's stat-dropping moves)
• Moveset:
  • Rain Dance (to cancel out Sunny Day)
  • Leer (to lower Venusaur's defense)
  • Rage Fist (primary attacking move)
  • Bulk Up (to enhance the power of Rage Fist)

Now that we have the ideal build and moveset for Annihilate, let's proceed to the solo strategy for Sevenstar Venusaur raids.

4. Solo Strategy for Sevenstar Venusaur Raids

The solo strategy with Annihilate involves strategically fainting and coming back refreshed to effectively defeat Venusaur. Follow these steps for a successful raid:

4.1. Setting up Sunny Day

At the beginning of the raid, Venusaur will set up Sunny Day to activate its Chlorophyll ability and increase its speed. It also gains a boost with Growth due to the sunny weather. However, don't worry, as we have a plan to counter this.

4.2. Cancelling out Sunny Day with Rain Dance

To neutralize Venusaur's advantage with Sunny Day, quickly use Rain Dance to cancel out the sun's effect. This will reset the battle conditions in your favor.

4.3. Lowering Venusaur's Defense with Leer

Next, use Leer to lower Venusaur's defense. This move will pave the way for stronger attacks later in the battle.

4.4. Fainting and Refreshing

In this strategy, fainting strategically is part of the plan. Don't worry if Annihilate faints; instead, think of it as an opportunity to come back fresh without wasting time on healing.

4.5. Terize and Bulk Up

Once Annihilate returns to the battle, use Terize to revitalize it. Follow it up with Bulk Up to further enhance the power of your Rage Fist.

4.6. Rage Fists

Now it's time to get aggressive. Unleash your Rage Fists on Venusaur, dealing significant damage. Thanks to the Shell Bell, your HP will also recover with each hit.

4.7. Fainting Again, Coming Back Fresh

After a series of Rage Fists, Annihilate may faint again. However, remember that the goal is to come back refreshed, not to worry about healing. Wait for 10 seconds before returning to the battle.

4.8. Final Rage Fists and Defeating Venusaur

Upon returning to the battle, use Terize again and continue with Bulk Up to further enhance your strength. Unleash the final Rage Fists on Venusaur, bringing its HP down to a manageable level. With each hit, your HP will recover, ensuring a sustained battle.

By following this solo strategy, you'll be able to defeat Venusaur in Sevenstar raids using Annihilate. Keep in mind that this strategy may not be the fastest, but it eliminates the need for excessive healing and ensures a successful solo run.

5. Rewards from the Raid

After defeating Venusaur, you'll be eligible for various rewards. Alongside the satisfaction of a successful solo raid, you may also receive Pokémon like Eda Mysa and Ability Patches. This makes Sevenstar Venusaur raids a great option for farming valuable rewards.
