Here is all you need to know about the best build for Armarouge for Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Tera Raid battles are quite a new addition in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Once upon a time, these were known as Raid Battles. In the sandy wave of time, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced this feature once again. Now, in Paldea, you can join the Tera Raids only and only with your Terastal Pokemon. Means, your pocket monsters should be Terastallized to be in this raid.
Say, you have Armarouge in your pocket. This Fire/ Psychic-type Pokémon evolves from Charcadet and is exclusive in Pokemon Scarlet. And in Pokemon Violet, Charcadet evolves into Ceruledge. Say, you are playing the Scarlet version and want to take Armarouge into Tera Raids. You need more or less the perfect build for this tank type to be on the field. And that is what we will be discussing today.

Now, let’s get into these builds.
