A Pokémon Scarlet and Violet trainer has used Gen 1’s weakest Pokémon to defeat the recent 7-star Eevee Tera Raid.
To celebrate Eevee Week 2023, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet presented another 7-star Tera Raid with the Evolution Pokémon.
This 7-star Tera Eevee comes with the normal Tera type and the moves Double Edge, Hyper Voice, Charm, Doll Eyes, and Bite.
To show off an impressive skill, a trainer took Gen 1’s weakest Pokémon, Magikarp, and demolished the 7-star raid target with a single hit.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Trainer Defeats 7-Star Eevee Raid with Magikarp
A Reddit user named Nommable123 posted a video showing his strategy on the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet subreddit.
The strategy involved a Magikarp holding a metronome as the main attacker. The rest of the team included a Medicham with Sitrus Berry, a Salazzle with the same berry, and a Perrserker with Wide Lens.
To start, Medicham used Light Screen and Reflect to increase the team’s defense, while Salazzle and Perrserker used Defense Cheer.

Salazzle then used Fire Lash four times to lower Eevee’s defense by four stages. Persserker then used Chilling Water twice to reduce his attack.
Perrserker and Salazzle then use Swagger on Magikarp to increase its attack by six stages, while Medicham uses Skill Swap and Helping Hand to buff the Gen 1 fish and give it raw power.
Magikarp then used an Attack Cheer and Perrserker used False Swipe to bring the fish to 1 HP. Finally, Magikarp used Flail to remove Eevee’s entire health bar with a single hit.

In the video comments, the trainer noted that since there is no way to OHKO 7-star Eevee with Magikarp without lowering its Defense, the Normal type took a little damage beforehand.
However, they assured fans that even with a minor amount of damage to the chip, it would not have been a factor in their one-hit knockout setup.
While some trainers have expressed disappointment in 7-star Eevee’s lack of difficulty, it still took quite a bit of work to achieve this impressive strategy.
