I just managed to access 5 & 6 star raids and have been struggling to beat them even with my team and strategies I’ve used and wanted to know if there are any Pokémon that excelled in taking on high ranked raids?

Best answer

Iron Hands:
Look here for why

Garganacl:
- Slow and Bulky, good because Tera raids have you attack out of turn.
- Rock is a good offensive type
- Not sure if Salt Cure works in raids, but if it does then its good.

Baxcalibur:
- Amazing attack stat
- Ice is also a good offensive type
- Access to Swords Dance for boosting
- Glaive Rush is a very strong STAB move.

Iron Valiant:
- Amazing Attack
- Good offensive type
- Gets Swords Dance for a boost move
- Booster Energy Quark Drive attack boost can't be removed

Gholdengo:
- Good Offensive and Defensive type
- Amazing Special Attack
- Gets Nasty Plot
- Make it Rain hits hard and the SpA drop can be helped by Nasty Plot

Great Tusk:
- Amazing Attack
- Excellent Offensive typing
- Slow and Bulky
- Gets Bulk Up
- Booster Energy Protosynthesis attack boost can't be removed

Koraidon/Miraidon:
- Both hit very hard
- Koraidon gets Swords Dance while Miraidon gets Calm Mind
- Their abilities are very good

You can find movesets for them on their respective moveset threads.

Edit:

Azumarill:
- Hits very hard (Thanks to Huge Power)
- Water/Fairy is a good combo
- Belly Drum
- Slow and has a good hp stat

(Thank you Amethyst!)

Kingambit:
- Slow and Bulky
- Massive attack
- Swords Dance
- Alright offensive type

I've heard of Huge Power Azumarill being quite popular.
I was gonna put a Pokemon with Huge Power but then I forgot.
Iron Hands along with Miraidon is meant to be a match made in heaven when you a team for Tera Raids
Yea I’ve tried huge power azumarill and it’s been pretty good! Managed to beat my first 6 star raid today!
