Team coordination is quite simple Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The ready screen shows an updated picture of the Pokémon that each player has brought, because Tera Raids.

How to beat an unopposed Greninja Tera Raid Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
As with most other high-level Tera Raids, the Unrivaled Greninja raid will feature a level 100 boss boosted with additional power-ups. This means you’ll want to bring your own level 100 Pokémon, as bringing a low-level Pokémon can easily result in an early KO that will drag your team down.
During this seven-star raid event, Greninja will always appear as a Poison Tera Type, meaning you don’t have to worry about planning around many resistances or immunities. Just remember that Greninja is originally a Water/Dark type, so bringing in a basic Earth or Psychic type is just asking for trouble.
