What are Tera Raid Battles in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet?

Tera Raid Battles in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet allow players to join a team of four trainers to defeat a strong Tera Pokemon. These battles will highlight Pokemon with rare Tera-type combinations.

There are two types of Tera Raid Battles in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Standard Tera Raid Battles will appear as ordinary crystals as you approach the location in-game.

Meanwhile, Black Tera Raid crystals indicate that the Pokemon is incredibly powerful. It could have unique moves and Abilities, which means better rewards are up for grabs.
