A Tera Raid Battle (Japanese: テラレイドバトル Tera Raid Battle) is a type of Pokémon battle featured in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in which four Trainers battle a wild Tera Pokémon, which remains Terastallized until enough damage has been dealt to the Pokémon.
History
Tera Raid Battle are created energy unleashed from Great Crater of Paldea from time to time. During the post-game of Scarlet and Violet, rare black Rank six raid started showing up after being transformed. Jacq ask the player to participate in these raid, and eventually discovered where they come from.
In the games
The player can start a Tera Raid Battle by interacting with an active "shining crystal", indicated by a beam of light shooting up from it. The color of the crystal will also indicate the Tera Type of the Pokémon within.
When starting a Tera Raid Battle, players can see a silhouette of the Tera Pokémon, one of its types, and a star rating of its difficulty. The objective, "Defeat the Tera Pokémon within the time limit!", is displayed in the lower right corner. Additionally, the player can see the other three Trainers participating and the Pokémon they have selected to enter. Players have a time limit to select their Pokémon before the Tera Raid Battle automatically starts with the Pokémon they have selected by default.
Battle
The battle system differs from typical turn-based battles in that the battle is timed, and all participants are able to act at any point, regardless of whether the opponent Pokémon or allies are also performing an action at the same time.
Each Trainer uses a single Pokémon (from either their party or Box) against the Tera Pokémon. It is also possible for the player to cheer, which provides various boosts to allies. The three options for cheering are boosting allies' Attack and Special Attack, boosting allies' Defense and Special Defense, or restoring allies' HP. This allows a player to contribute the battle even if their Pokémon has no useful moves. Players can cheer three times per raid battle.
Capture
Defeating the Tera Pokémon within the time limit will cause the Pokémon to cease being Terastallized, at which point the player is given the chance to select a Poké Ball from their bag and can catch the Pokémon. This capture cannot fail.
