Hisuian Typhlosion Stats

Hisuian Typhlosion is a Fire/Ghost-type Pokémon. It will have the Fire Tera type which boosts its original Fire move STAB from 1.5x to 2x damage. Don’t bring any Pokémon to this raid that has a Fire weakness. Focus on Ground, Rock, and Water, or a Pokémon with an Ability that can nullify Fire attacks (for example, Flash Fire).

Hisuian Typhlosion will use Will-O-Wisp first to burn your Pokémon, then boost its Fire-type moves with Sunny Day. You can counter this with a Pokémon who can change the weather, preferably with Rain Dance.

Nature – Modest

The Modest Nature increases a Pokémon’s Sp. Atk at the expense of its Atk. Hisuian Typhlosion solely uses Special moves, so bring a Pokémon with good Sp. Def or one that can attack quickly.

Ability – Frisk

Frisk is Hisuian Typhlosion’s Hidden Ability which allows it to check the opponent’s held item when it enters the battlefield. While useful in competitive battles, Hisuian Typhlosion won’t make much use of it.

Moves

Since Hisuian Typhlosion has the Fire Tera Type and increased Sp. Atk stats, Flamethrower will be your biggest issue. Infernal Parade pairs well with Flamethrower. Both moves have the potential to Burn your Pokémon and if that happens, Infernal Parade will deal double damage.

Name	Type		Description
Flamethrower	Fire	Special	The target is scorched with an intense blast of fire. This may also leave the target with a burn.
Infernal Parade	Ghost	Special	The user attacks with myriad fireballs. This may also leave the target with a burn. This move’s power is doubled if the target has a status condition.
Focus Blast	Fighting	Special	The user heightens its mental focus and unleashes its power. This may also lower the target’s Sp. Def stat.
Will-O-Wisp	Fire	Status	The user shoots a sinister flame at the target to inflict a burn.
Sunny Day	Fire	Status	The user intensifies the sun for five turns, powering up Fire-type attacks. The sunlight also lowers the power of Water-type attacks.

Counter Strategies

The following Pokémon can be found in Scarlet & Violet without needing to port Pokémon over from other games or purchasing the DLC. Camerupt will most likely be the easiest to build in a short amount of time, but Vaporean may be best for its Water-type moves and Fire-type resistance. 

Pokémon	Ability	Nature	Tera Type	Held Item	Moveset
Vaporean	Hydration Cures the Pokémon’s status conditions in rain.	Modest	Water	Shell Bell / Damp Rock	Weather Ball Surf Calm Mind Rain Dance
Camerupt	Any Magma Armor The Pokémon’s hot magma coating prevents it from being frozen. Solid Rock Reduces the power of supereffective attacks that hit the Pokémon. Anger Point The Pokémon is angered when it takes a critical hit, and that maxes its Attack stat.	Modest	Ground	Shell Bell	Earth Power Tera Blast Sandstorm Amnesia
Goodra	Hydration Cures the Pokémon’s status conditions in rain.	Modest	Water	Shell Bell	Weather Ball Surf Rain Dance Acid Spray
Dachsbun	Well-Baked Body The Pokémon takes no damage from Fire-type moves and its Defense stat is raised by two stages if hit by a Fire-type attack.	Impish	Fighting	Metronome	Body Press Work Up Misty Terrain Helping Hand
