Tera Raid Battles are a good way to not only catch strong Pokemon but also get useful items like Exp candies, Herba Mystica, and more. And the higher the raid, the better the rewards. So in this guide check out how to unlock and do 7-star raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

In order to do 7 Star Raids you need to interact with the black Tera Raid crystals. To find them you should have 6-star raids unlocked and there should be an ongoing 7-star raid available. These two are the main criteria you must fulfill to be able to participate in them. Let us learn about them both:

  • Unlocking 6-star raid battles: You can only access 6-star tera raids after you beat the post-game, complete 10 successful 5-star raids, and beat the Academy Ace Tournament.
    1. Start by completing all 3 paths of the game.
    2. After you become the Champion Professor Jacq will inform you about the new raids available throughout Paldea.
    3. These are 5-star raids, beat 10 of them.
    4. Go back and challenge all 8 gym leaders.
    5. Participate and win the Academy Ace Tournament.
  • This will make you eligible for 6-star raids. Which also qualifies you for entering 7-star raids.

Now, the thing is 7 Tera Raid Battles work differently from the 6-star raids and lower. This is a special event raid, so the game should announce such events on Twitter, for when a new 7-star raid is about to take place.

At the time of writing this article, there should be upcoming 7-star raids starting on December 15, 2022, and lasting till December 18, 2022. These are the 7-star raids for Charizard with the Tera-type Dragon. And even after this event, there should be more 7-star Tera raids in the future, featuring other powerful Pokemon.

That covers this guide on how to do 7 Star Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. If you are looking to challenge such higher raids I suggest you check out our best Iron Hands build. It is one of the strongest Pokemon that can be quite useful in such raid battles.
