Armarouge is a Special Attacker that can use Flash Fire to disable Fire-type moves. However, Armarouge has no moves that can recover and heal itself, so it is highly recommended that you equip it with Shell Bell or cheer with Heal up! to help it regain any lost HP.

Powerful With Fire Moves and Psychic Weakness Raids

Fighting	Poison

For example with the Mighty Cinderace Tera Raid, Armarouge can disable Cinderace's Fire type moves with its Ability Flash Fire and attack Cinderace's Fighting Tera Type weakness with Psychic type moves and deal big damage to them.

Effective Against 7 Star Cinderace Tera Raid

The Armorouge is likely to be useful in the Raid Battle against Cinderace in the 7 Star Raid Event. It can still attack while avoiding Cinderace's main weapon which can attack weaknesses Psychic moves while keeping Fire and Fighting moves at or below half strength.

How To Train Armarouge For Raids

How To Train & Strengthen Armarouge

1. Catch An Armarouge Or An Unevolved Charcadet

Charcadet Location	Map

Armarouge is limited to Scarlet and only appears in Tera Raid 5 and 6, so catch Charcadet before it evolves if you do not have it. Charcadets usually appears in a wide area, but the probability of their appearance is low, so it is recommended to activate Encounter Power when they do not appear easily.

Reroll Or Breed If You Want To Save Money

Eventually, you will need to use items to raise Charcadet and evolve. If you want to save money, reroll or breed since buying various items can be costly. In addition, the Nature of each Pokemon differs thus it is recommended to reroll or breed.

2. Exchange Auspicious Armor For Evolution

Zapapico Location	NPC Location

For the Scarlet version only, talk to the old man in front of the Zapapico Fountain to exchange 10 Bronzor Fragments for Auspicious Armor. Since it is not available in the Violet version, use the Malicious Armor, its counterpart item, as an exchange material and trade it with someone from the Scarlet version.

Collect Bronzor Shards In Habitat



When Bronzor is defeated or captured, a piece of Bronzor can be obtained. You can also get them by defeating them with Let's Go! Basically, it is recommended that you look for them in habitat location above and gather them in the Mass Outbreak if you have it.

3. Change Ability to Flash Fire when used in Raid.

Item	EffectHow To Get
Ability Patch	Can be a special Ability (Hidden Ability)★6 Star Tera Raid Reward

When preparing Armorouge to be used in raids, make sure to change its ability from Weak Armor to Flash Fire. However,it is a waste of time and money in reverting from its Normal Ability to its Hidden Ability, so it is recommended to have a spare Charcadet with Flash Fire unless you have an excess of Ability Patches at hand.

4. Change Tera Type To Psychic

Item	EffectHow To Get

If a wild Charcadet is caught or hatched, the Tera Type will always be the Fire type. Even when obtained through raids, the Tera Type will not become Psychic unless you draw it though its probability is as low as 1/18, so use 50 Tera Shard (Psychic) to change it to Psychic.
