These Tera Raids are the game’s most difficult challenge, and you’ll need to have the best Pok\u00e9mon in order to secure victory. They’re so tough that you can’t even access them until you’ve beaten the game!<\/p>\n
We want to give Serebii a huge thanks for this guide, as they have cataloged many of the rewards and Pok\u00e9mon you can fight during 6-Star Raids.<\/em><\/p>\nHere’s how to unlock 6-Star Raids.<\/p>\n\n On this page:<\/h2>\n\nPok\u00e9mon Scarlet & Violet: How to unlock 6-Star Raids<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/nav>\nPok\u00e9mon Scarlet & Violet: How to unlock 6-Star Raids<\/h2>\nHow to unlock 5-Star Raids<\/h3>\nImage: Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBefore you even think about unlocking 6-Star Raids, you need to unlock the tier before it.<\/p>\n
If you’ve been running around the Paldea region, you’ve likely been examining many of the Tera Raid Crystals dotted around the land. These are all 1, 2, 3, and 4-Star Raids. However, once you’ve beaten the game and got past the credits, you’ll notice that some of these Crystals now have a 5-Star rating on them.<\/p>\n
5-Star Raids are much<\/em> harder than the previous ones, and you’ll need strong, high-level Pok\u00e9mon in order to beat them. They’re worth doing, however, as you can often get Herba Mystica from them, which you’ll need if you want to make Shiny Boosting Sandwiches.<\/p>\nHow to unlock 6-Star Raids<\/h3>\n Once you’re in Scarlet & Violet’s postgame, and you’ve confirmed there are 5-Star Raids out in the region, you can then get to unlocking the game’s hardest content.<\/p>\n
First of all, you’ll need to rematch all eight Gym Leaders on behalf of Geeta. Next, you’ll then need to beat the first Academy Ace Tournament. Lastly, you’ll need to have hosted a bunch of 5-Star Raids.<\/p>\nImage: Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOnce you’ve done all of those things, you’ll get a phone call from Jacq, your homeroom teacher. He’ll tell you that some more powerful raids have started popping up around the region, and that he needs your help to investigate them.<\/p>\n
How to find a 6-Star Raid<\/h3>\n There’s no easy way of finding a 6-Star Raid, unfortunately. You’ll have to find them by looking for the Raid markers on the map. You also may need to host more raids with friends before they start appearing.<\/p>\nImage: Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFind the crystal you want to try on the overworld and examine it \u2014 the map and the color of the crystal will tell you what type it is. You’ll also be able to tell what star level it is when you examine the crystal.<\/p>\n
If you’ve found a 6-Star Raid, make sure you bring you best Pok\u00e9mon with you \u2014 we suggest anything above level 90<\/strong>.<\/p>\n6-Star Raid rewards<\/h3>\nImage: Nintendo Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhile some people might just relish the challenge of 6-Star Raids, the real reason you want to do them is for the rewards.<\/p>\n
EXP Candy, Rare Candy, Tera Shards, Feathers, Mints, sellable items, Bottle Caps, and crafting materials for making TMs are just some of the rewards you can get from winning. Plus, you’ll also have a chance to catch the Tera Pok\u00e9mon if you win.<\/p>\n
