Hisuian Typhlosion has been confirmed as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's next 7-star Tera Raid. Its Tera Type has been confirmed to be Fire, which means players could prepare for this upcoming bout in a number of ways. This article focuses on some potential counters that trainers may wish to build so they can farm the new Tera Raid event from the get-go.
Note that none of Hisuian Typhlosion's attacks have been confirmed yet. That said, past Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have always used moves within a Pokemon's learnable moveset. Thus, some likely attacks could be inferred here.

As a reminder, here is what Fire-type creatures are weak to in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet:
Similarly, here are the notable moves that Hisuian Typhlosion learns in the Gen IX games that it may use in the upcoming 7-star Tera Raid:
Solar Beam is the Grass-type move it learns, but that's too easily exploitable to use in a Tera Raid. Thus, Ground, Rock, and Water-type picks should be pretty safe options since they have super-effective moves against this foe, even in situations where Hisuian Typhlosion sets up Sunny Day automatically.
This foe can be annoying if it automatically sets up Calm Minds, so physical attackers may be preferable here.
Based on current intel provided about Hisuian Typhlosion's moveset and Fire Tera-Type, the best preliminary counters would be:
All these sets would use a Shell Bell as the preferred item since it's incredibly useful for long Tera Raid battles.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players looking for an OHKO strategy may wish to get Paldean Tauros (Aqua Breed) with:
Paldean Tauros' allies would then have to lower Hisuian Typhlosion's Defence somehow before the creature attacks with Wave Crash.
This countdown counts down to 12 am (UTC) on November 3, 2023. That's when Hisuian-Typhlosion is stated to have its own 7-star Tera Raid. Here are the times this event will be available:
The above countdown is merely for the first run's debut, which is when most Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players will be trying to beat this 7-star Tera Raid.
