Skeledirge's Weaknesses & Resistances in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
This Fire-type Tera Skeledirge is vulnerable to Water, Ground, and Rock-type attacks, all dealing double damage (2x). It resists Bug, Fairy, Fire, Grass, Ice, Poison, Normal, and Steel-type moves (0.5x damage), with Bug-type moves inflicting only 0.25x damage. Importantly, its lack of Ghost typing means Normal-type moves are effective.
Skeledirge's Moveset
The Mightiest Mark Skeledirge in this 7-Star Tera Raid utilizes a diverse moveset:
- Torch Song (Fire)
- Shadow Ball (Ghost)
- Alluring Voice (Fairy)
- Earth Power (Ground)
- Will-O-Wisp (Fire, non-damaging)
- Snarl (Dark)
Earth Power and Alluring Voice provide broad type coverage, increasing the challenge. Torch Song's Special Attack boost with each use makes it progressively dangerous. Will-O-Wisp inflicts burns, halving Attack, and its Unaware ability negates your Pokémon's stat changes.
Best 7-Star Skeledirge Counters in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
Golduck, Quagsire, and Manaphy are your best bets. Each resists Skeledirge's Fire-type attacks and takes neutral damage from its other moves. While Dark-types might seem appealing due to Skeledirge's past Ghost typing, remember this boss is purely Fire-type, and Alluring Voice makes Dark-types vulnerable.
