Best Tera Types and Nature for Baxcalibur
The best tera type you can go for is the Steel Tera type. It will turn your weaknesses into resistances while giving you a bulky defense.
If you’re bidding for an offensive build, the best Nature you can go for is the Adamant Baxcalibur. Other than that, Jolly can also be a potentially good Nature. We recommend going for the Impish Nature for a more defensive build. Modest, Quiet, Mild, and Rash natures are the ones you would want to avoid as the Modest and Quiet ones can destroy your offensive build while the latter can destroy your defensive build.
