| Map | Detailed Location |
|---|---|

Arboliva can not be captured in the wild, so you will have to capture the pre-evolved Dolliv or Smoliv. Smoliv can be easily captured near Cortondo so it is recommended to get.
Prepare To Reroll For Grass Tera Type
The Arboliva for Raids will use Grass type move Giga Drain consecutively, so it is a must to have the Grass Tera type so it can raise its power. If you capture it in the wild, there is a high chance it is a Normal Tera type so reroll for the Grass Tera.
▶Best Breeding Guide| Item | Effect/How to Get |
|---|---|
| Modest Mint | If you use it, it will increase SP ATK easier, and harder for ATK to increase (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.
| HP | SP ATK | SP DEF |
|---|---|---|
| 252 | 252 | 6 |
The Unrivaled Pikachu is a Mixed Attacker Style, so to increase durability for both Physical and SP ATK, add 252 to HP. To increase the power of Giga Drain so you can increase the healing number, add 252 to SP ATK.
If You Have Money Use Vitamins To Increase Effort Value
| HP | HP Up ×26 |
|---|---|
| SP ATK | Calcium ×26 |
| SP DEF | Clever 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

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.

How To Use Arboliva In Raids
How To Defeat Unrivaled Pikachu Raid
- Use Sunny Day on 1st Turn
- Until you can use Terastalization, use Giga Drain on ally NPC
- While it is Sunny, stack Growth to create stability
- Use Grass Tera and consecutively use Giga Drain
- If PP runs out use Energy Ball
- Use Sunny Day on 1st Turn
- Until you can use Terastalization, use Giga Drain on ally NPC
- While it is Sunny, stack Growth to create stability
- Use Grass Tera and consecutively use Giga Drain
- If PP runs out use Energy Ball
The Unrivaled Pikachu will use Rain Dance in the start of battle. If it keeps raining then it will increase the power of the opponent's Surf, and makes Thunder accuracy 100, so change the weather into Sunny with Sunny Day.
The Unrivaled Pikachu will also set up a screen in the beginning. So until you terastalize, not much damage will go through the opponent. There is a chance that you will faint if you can not get enough healing power from Giga Drain, so use Giga Drain against your NPC so you can heal up your HP.
Even If NPC Faints, It Won't Decrease The Time
If you are challenging Solo, even if the NPCs are defeated or faint, you will not get a penalty of the time decrease. So even if you attack and faint your allies, there is no problem.
While it is Sunny with Sunny Day, Pikachu's Thunder accuracy will become 50% and allows you to move more freely. If it is sunny, use Growth to increase your SP ATK by 2 levels. If you have a chance to use Growth when Sunny then do so.
Once your Terastalization is charged then activate it. But if your HP is low and you terastalize then you will faint right away so make sure you have enough HP before you terastalize.
There is a chance that you might run out of PP for Giga Drain, and if that does happen then use Energy Ball. You can not heal, but when your PP does run out then the Unrivaled Pikachu's HP should be low so push through with Energy Ball.
