As a Grass Tera-type, Meowscarada is weak to Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug-type attacks. Bug-type moves are especially effective, dealing 4x damage. Conversely, it resists Electric, Grass, Ground, Psychic, Ghost, and Dark-type moves (Psychic-type moves do 0x damage due to its Dark typing).

Meowscarada’s Moveset

The Mightiest Mark Meowscarada utilizes a diverse moveset including: Acrobatics (Flying), Flower Trick (Grass), Hone Claws (Dark), Night Slash (Dark), Petal Blizzard (Grass), and Play Rough (Fairy). Hone Claws, boosting its Attack and Accuracy, makes it progressively more dangerous, especially when combined with the critical hit guaranteed by Flower Trick.

Scizor, Magmortar, and Skarmory stand out as the most effective counters. Their type resistances and high Defense mitigate Hone Claws' effects, allowing them to deal significant damage while maintaining survivability.

Optimal Builds for Top Counters

Best Scizor Build

Ability: Swarm Nature: Adamant Tera Type: Bug Hold Item: Shell Bell EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Def, 4 HP Moveset: Bullet Punch, Iron Defense, Swords Dance, X-Scissor

Best Skarmory Build

Ability: Keen Eye Nature: Adamant Tera Type: Flying Hold Item: Shell Bell EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Def, 4 HP Moveset: Drill Peck, Roost, Swords Dance, Taunt

Taunt prevents Hone Claws buffs, Roost provides healing, and Drill Peck, boosted by Swords Dance and enhanced by Shell Bell, deals substantial damage.

Best Magmortar Build

Ability: Flame Body Nature: Modest Tera Type: Fire Hold Item: Shell Bell EVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Def, 4 HP Moveset: Acid Spray, Sunny Day, Taunt, Weather Ball
