The next Tera Raid Battle event has been announced for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet This event will feature a focus on the Pokémon Sandy Shocks if you play Pokémon Scarlet or Iron Thorns if you play Pokémon Violet. These will be in 5 Star Raids and have various Tera Types
This event will run from 00:00 UTC on May 24th through 23:59 UTC on May 26th

Nothing super exciting, but at least the set Tera types are the ones people use.
also I want to feel cool and start the thread this time
 
Hey, I'm new here but have been lurking for a bit. I feel like Orthworm could have some potential versus iron thorns. Here's the sets I've come up with:

Orthworm @ Shell Bell
Ability: Earth Eater
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Rock Slide
- Tera Blast
- Mud-Slap
- Curse

This is a more offensive build. The idea with it is quite obvious. Set up with curse and then spam rock slide/tera blast. Tera blast is there as a slightly more powerful and accurate rock move after you tera. Mud slap is really just a filler move.

Orthworm @ Leftovers
Ability: Earth Eater
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Helping Hand
- Metal Sound
- Mud-Slap
- Iron Defense

This is a supporting build, pretty obvious idea as well. ID is just really a filler move, there's probably not much that you can't tank, but it's there just in case.

Again, I do feel like orthworm has some potential, so I want to create some discussion around it, to see if anyone can come up with anything else.
