Catch a Shiny Rayquaza in This Special Tera Raid Battle Event!

From Friday, December 20, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 23:59 UTC, Shiny Rayquaza will be appearing in 5-star Tera Raid Battles! The Rayquaza appearing during this event has Dragon as its Tera Type.

    I wish I could access these battles! I’ve beaten all three main stories in carmesin, finished the dlc around ogerpon and am currently in the blueberry academy but still no such raids in paldera. Am I missing something?

      • You’ll be able to find 5-star Tera Raid Battles after completing Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet’s main story. If you haven’t completed the main story, you may still participate in these Tera Raid Battles by joining other Trainers in multiplayer.

      After the credits roll you should start to see black Terra raid nodes. One of the npcs will warn you about how dangerous they are.

      How to Unlock 5-Star Raids

      Unlock by Finishing the Game

      To gain access to 5-Star Raids, you need to finish the game’s three storylines (Victory Road, Starfall Street, and Path of Legends), as well as the The Way Home storyline.

      To complete all of these, you will need to assemble a team with Pokemon around Level 65 to 70. It may be possible to clear these paths with Pokemon of a lower level, but doing that may be too challenging for some players. So start farming EXP to make your Pokemon more powerful!
