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.

Shiny Rayquaza cannot normally be encountered during regular gameplay, so don’t miss your chance to welcome this Legendary Pokémon into your adventuring party!

The Shiny Rayquaza appearing in this event can be caught only once per save data. As long as the event is running, you can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Rayquaza to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.

Shiny Rayquaza may be featured in future events or become encounterable through other methods.

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!

I wonder if the previous raid build of Azumarill will knock ole Rayray out. I'm curious if anyone here finds a winning strat

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

My first go at Rayquaza was with Azumaril and it went poorly. I switched to a Clefable holding a covert cloak (to avoid confusion from Hurricane) with draining kiss, life dew, moonblast, reflect, and calm mind. I got in two victories before I fell asleep waiting for another raid.

Just knocked out my first 2 using this (minus the calm mind) it's a beast!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I never used calm mind either.

[–] tophneal 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Thanks for sharing your strat! I take it you were raiding online with others and not solo?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, I almost always do online raids rather than solo.

[–] tophneal 2 points 4 days ago

I usually do the same. Got a friend that only does solo so maybe calm mind will work out well for him vs life dew

Bellydrum/play rough Azumarill is tough on dragons that is for sure.
