Raging Bolt's high Special Attack, bolstered by Booster Energy increasing its damage output significantly, makes it an immediate force to be reckoned with. It has positive matchups against Kyogre and Urshifu-R, resisting their STAB attacks and threatening huge damage or an OHKO on them, respectively, with its STAB moves. Raging Bolt also matches up well against Koraidon, threatening an OHKO with Draco Meteor or Dragon Pulse. Draco Meteor allows Raging Bolt to pick up valuable KOs with a risky drawback, while Dragon Pulse lets it deal consistent damage. The given EV spread allows Raging Bolt to survive Precipice Blades from Groudon and Ice Spinner from Chien-Pao, while the Special Attack investment nets OHKOs on Landorus and Ursaluna-B with Draco Meteor. Tera Electric provides a powerful damage boost, allowing Raging Bolt to pick up OHKOs on Kyogre and Tera Ghost Urshifu-R and a 2HKO on Sitrus Berry Incineroar with Thunderbolt, which it usually would not be able to do. Tera Fairy provides a Dragon immunity against Dragon-types that threaten Raging Bolt such as Miraidon on top of removing all of its original weaknesses and providing a good defensive typing.
Raging Bolt struggles against strong Ground-types such as Landorus, Ursaluna-B, and Groudon, all of which deal significant damage to it, while Calyrex-I is very difficult for Raging Bolt to remove due to its high bulk and potential to OHKO it in return. This makes Calyrex-I and Pelipper exceptional partners, as they threaten OHKOs on Landorus, Ursaluna-B, and Groudon. Additionally, Calyrex-I threatens Landorus and Groudon after they use Tera with High Horsepower, while Pelipper provides Wide Guard support, making it extremely difficult for opposing Calyrex-I to remove. Ogerpon-W provides valuable redirection while comfortably surviving attacks from the aforementioned Ground-types, as well as threatening KOs on them with Ivy Cudgel. Farigiraf prevents Raging Bolt from using Thunderclap and often uses Tera Fairy, granting it immunity to Draco Meteor and Dragon Pulse, while Chien-Pao and Flutter Mane also threaten to deal siginificant damage on Raging Bolt. As a result, Zamazenta-C is a great partner, 2HKOing Farigiraf before and after using Tera with Body Press and either Heavy Slam or Behemoth Bash, respectively, as well as easily OHKOing Chien-Pao and Flutter Mane. Incineroar is also an exceptional partner, as it is capable of reducing Calyrex-I's damage through Will-O-Wisp, being difficult for Farigiraf to KO, and dealing significant damage to Chien-Pao with Flare Blitz.
