For anyone who thought the danger of entering a six-star Tera Raid battle in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet unprepared was where things capped out, Game Freak has another challenge for players who stick with the game for special events—seven-star Tera Raids. However, you need to unlock them.
Unlike the other raids available at Tera Raid Crystals scattered around Paldea, these seven-star Tera Raids will only be available during special events and ensure that anyone looking for a real challenge won’t leave dissatisfied. Despite being tied to an event, players do still have to meet several unlock requirements even to gain access to a seven-star raid. This will likely keep under-leveled or new trainers from jumping into the max-difficulty Tera Raids and ruining the experience for people trying to grind during the events. Here’s what you need to know about unlocking seven-star Tera Raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
