Hey there! So you're looking to dive into the exciting world of Tera Raid Battles in Pokémon Scarlet? Awesome! These are special battles where you team up with other trainers to take down a powerful wild Pokémon that has a Tera Type. The difficulty can really ramp up, so knowing how to unlock them is key.
Unlock Conditions:
| Difficulty level | Tera Pokémon level | Unlock conditions |
| 1-star | 12 | Complete the tutorials. |
| 2-star | 20 | Complete the tutorials. |
| 3-star | 35 | Obtain three Gym Badges. |
| 4-star | 45 | Obtain seven Gym Badges. |

| 7-star | 100 | Unlock 6-star Tera Raids. Only available during special events. |
Notes on Unlocking Higher Tiers:
- For 6-star raids, you'll need to win the Academy Ace Tournament and then participate in a certain number of 5-star Tera Raids. It might take around fourteen 5-star raids (hosting or joining) before Jacq calls you to let you know black crystals are appearing on your map.
- For 7-star raids, which are only around during special events, you just need to have unlocked 6-star raids. You don't necessarily need to have won a 6-star raid yourself to join a 7-star one if it's available.
How to Participate:
Once you're ready to jump in, just explore the world of Paldea. Keep an eye out for gleaming crystals that are shooting out beams of light. When you find one, interact with it to start a Tera Raid Battle. Team up with your Pokémon and get ready for a challenge!
