This Clodsire will be able to tolerate most of the powerful moves the Greninja in the Unrivaled Greninja Raid might possibly use. It will also have Healing moves which is also a strong point.

Be Careful Of Greninja's Extrasensory

Clodsire is Poison and Ground type so Psychic moves are its weakness. At this time, Greninja's moveset is not confirmed, but if it has learned Extrasensory then it can attack its weakness so completing will be hard.

How To Train Clodsire For Raids

Training & Strengthening Clodsire

1. Capture the pre-evolved Paldean Wooper

The pre-evolved Paldean Wooper can be found near Los Platos.It is recommended to capture the Paldean Wooper and then evolve, since it appears more common than the Clodsire.

Reroll For Ground Tera Type

The Clodsire trained for the Unrivaled Greninja only uses Ground type moves. If you are to catch it in the wild there is a chance to capture the Poison Tera Type or Ground Tera Type, so be sure to reroll for a Ground Tera Type.

2. Used Ability Capsule to Change to Water Absorb

Item	Effect/How To Get
Ability Capsule	Usually one of the two abilities can be done Purchased at Delibird Presents for 100,000 Poke Dollars

If you use Ability Capsule, you can change Clodsire's Ability to "Water Absorb". If you do not have it, you can buy it at the Delibird Presents. You do not need to use Ability Capsule if the original Ability is already Water Absorb.

3. Change Nature to Modest with Mints

Item	Effect/How To Get
Modest Mint	・Change Nature Modifier to Modest ・Nature itself remains the same Purchased at Chansey Supply for 20,000 Poke Dollars

With Modest Mint, you can turn it into Modest with some Nature correction. If you don't have it, go to Chansey Supply in Mesagoza or other places and buy one for 20,000 Poke Dollars. However, there is no need to use Mints if the original Nature is Modest.

4. Change Effort Value

HP	SP. ATK	DEF
252	252	6

There is a possibility the Unrivaled Greninja will be a Mixed Attacker, so you will want to spread your HP to 252. You will want to lower your Sp. Attack Base Stats as much as possible to increase your fire power so add 252 to SP. ATK.

If You Have Money Use Vitamins To Increase Effort Value

HP	HP Up ×25 Health Feather ×2
SP. ATK	Calcium ×25 Genius Feather ×2
DEF	Resist Feather ×6

The fastest way is to use the above Vitamins to change its value if you can afford it. But since 1 costs 10,000 Pokedollars and you need 26 pieces for each stats, that is a total of 500,000 Poke Dollars is required.

If You Want to Save Money, Battle To Gain Stats

Power Item (Increase specific EV gain by +8)
HP	DEF	SP. ATK
Power Weight	Power Belt	Power Lens

By capturing or defeating wild Pokemon, you can earn 1-3 Effort Value. If a Power Item is given, it is also possible to increase the Effort Value gained by 8. Power Item costs only 10,000 Poke Dollars each and is recommended for those who want to save money.

Once your Pokemon is ready, add Clodsire, Mareanie and Jigglypuff in your Team and open up a Picnic. You can open up a Picnic by pressing the X Button to open up your menu, and there are no NPCs in the area and outside of Town. Once you open up the Picnic, then you can close it right up.

5. Transfer is complete! Close up Picnic and check


Once you close up the Picnic the Transfer is finished, and Clodsire should have learned the moves Recover and others. Open up Clodsire's moveset and confirm the transfer.

How To use Clodsire In Raids

1. Use Stockpile on the 1 Turn

You will want to strengthen your DEF and SP. DEF so you do not get attacked by high damage. If you don't have Stockpile, cheer with "Hang tough!".

You Do Not Want To Stack 3 On First Moves



If you do not use Swallow then you can only use Stockpile maximum of 3 times. Even if the status gets erased, Stockpile counts will not be reset so if you use all 3 of your Stockpile moves and resets, then you will not be able to stack anymore.

2. Decrease SP DEF with Acid Spray by 6 levels

Next you want to use Acid Spray to lower Unrivaled Greninja's SP. DEF. If the effects do not get erased, then you should be able to drop the SP. DEF by 3 turns.

3. Terastalize and attack Earth Power

After you have used Acid Spray 3 times, your Terastalize will be charged so use it and attack with Earth Power.

4. If HP decreases use Recover right away

If your HP has decreased by half, you will need to heal with Recover. The Speed of Clodsire is very low, so you will want to heal up right away.
