In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you can participate in Tera Raid Battles. This is similar to Gigantamax raids with a few changes. Here you will face the powerful Pokemon Tera. As you progress through the game, you will notice that these raids are hard to beat. The star system indicates their level of difficulty. The higher the stars, the tougher the raids. But they have the best rewards in the games, so they are worth beating. In this article, we’ll show you how to unlock 5- and 6-star raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
How to unlock 5- and 6-star raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Before unlocking them, you should know a few basic mechanics of these raids. You can challenge them with up to three other trainers. These can be your Union Circle friends or random NPCs. You will need to defeat Tera Pokémon within the allotted time. If your Pokémon passes out, it may revive, but the timer will go off. Now let’s move on to the unlocking part.
How to unlock 5 star raids
To unlock 5-star raids, you must complete all storylines in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. After defeating them and watching the end credits, Jacques will call you. He will inform you about new raids appearing in Paldea which are 5 star raids. However, these raids are much more difficult than the previous ones, so you can check out our guide on how to beat them.
How to unlock 6 star raids
To unlock 6-star raids, you need to outplay all the Gym Leaders. Once you defeat them, return to your school and enter the Academy Ace tournament. You must fight and defeat four trainers in a row to win the tournament. However, your health and PP will regenerate after each fight. Then you need to complete and defeat some 5-star raids, and Jacques will call you again to inform you about new and even more dangerous raids.
To find these 6-star raids, simply open the map and look for purple glowing raid icons. As a reward for completing these raids, you will receive many valuable items such as Rare Candy, Exp Candy, Tera Shards and more.
