Tera Raids are an integral part of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet experience, with unlocking every Star Level not being an easy task. If you wish to play the title competitively, then these raids are something that you will be required to invest a significant amount of time in. The difficulty of the raids is indicated by the stars associated with them and go from one to six. Additionally, the title features special Seven-Star Raids as well from time to time.

However, not all the Tera Star Level Raids will be accessible from the get-go. There are certain conditions that you will be required to meet to be able to unlock the harder encounters.

As the games are not entirely clear on how you can go about doing that, today’s guide will specifically go over the process involved in accessing all the Tera Raids of different Star Levels in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.


How to unlock all Tera Raid Star Levels in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

The special conditions you will be required to meet to unlock some of the Tera Raids have been mentioned below. Here are the steps you have to employ in order to gain access to each of the Tera Raid Star Levels in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet:

1) 1-Star Tera Raid

  • These Raids are available from the very start of the game, and you will not be required to meet any special condition to be able to complete them

2) 2-Star Tera Raid

  • These, too, are unlocked as soon as you begin to explore Paldea, and you will be able to complete them from the get-go.

3) 3-Star Tera Raids

  • These Raids are unlocked after you have successfully acquired three Gym Badges in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

4) 4-Star Tera Raid

  • These raids are unlocked as soon as you earn your seventh Gym Badge in Paldea. You can go about collecting the badges in any order.

5) 5-Star Tera Raid

  • Five-Star Raids are made accessible only after you have completed the main story through any one of the three primary questlines.

6) 6-Star Tera Raid

  • These are unlocked after you have successfully won the Academy Tournament and cleared at least ten four-star or higher-difficulty Raids.

7) 7-Star Raids

  • These special raids are the hardest to unlock, and you will be required to complete the Special Events to be able to access them in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Tera Raids are some of the best ways to get a stronger party in the game; hence, players are advised to complete as many of them as they can, especially if they hope to have a competitive edge in PvP. The more difficult an encounter, the better will be the reward that you will get to enjoy.
