A '''Tera Raid Battle''' (Japanese: '''テラレイドバトル''' ''Tera Raid Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] featured in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} in which four Trainers battle a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which remains Terastallized until enough damage has been dealt to the Pokémon.

==History==
Tera Raid Crystals are created from energy unleashed from the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] over the years. During the post-game events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, stronger 5★ and black 6★ raid crystals begin to appear. [[Jacq]] asks the player to not participate in the 6★ raids for the player's safety, due to the overwhelming energy contained within. If the player ignores his request and manages to defeat one, it's revealed from the readings that they're being caused by residual energy leaking from [[Area Zero]] into the rest of Paldea. In certain events, 7★ Raids show up with very rare Pokémon normally not found in [[Paldea]].

==In the games==

A number of shining crystals will be scattered across Paldea, which are visible at a distance in the overworld by a beam of light shooting up from them if they have not already been visited. The color of the crystal will also indicate the Tera Type of the Pokémon within, with the exception of black 6★ and 7★ difficulty crystals. These black raid crystals are displayed with the correct type icon on the minimap, but are displayed with a black background and subtle purple glow. Crystals associated with a [[Poké Portal News]] event will also be surrounded by circular ring-shaped auras when up close, and their type icons on the map will have a thicker, glowing border.

Visiting each crystal for the first time awards a certain amount of LP, even if the player chooses not to participate in the raid:

|}
No LP is given for visiting the same crystal subsequent times, or for joining a raid hosted by another player. If the host manages to defeat the Tera Raid, their crystal will disappear. Unlike Max Raid Battles, completing all possible raids in the region will not make a new set of crystals respawn; instead, they will only respawn at midnight or when the player receives new Poké Portal News data.

Each Trainer uses a single Pokémon (from either their party or [[Pokémon Box Link|Box]]) against the Tera Pokémon. When starting a Tera Raid Battle, players can see a silhouette of the Tera Pokémon, its Tera Type, 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, if the raid has been opened to other players, there is a 3-minute timer for those players to join and select a Pokémon, or the currently selected Pokémon will be locked in at the end of the timer and the raid automatically starts. Each player at the waiting screen in these raids can see the other three Trainers participating and the Pokémon they have currently chosen, with a checkmark if their choice has been locked in.

===Battle===

====Timer====
The battle system differs from typical turn-based battles in that the battle is timed, with an orange timer bar visible below the boss's HP bar that ticks down from 7½ minutes, 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. It is even possible for a Pokémon to execute multiple moves before an ally chooses to act at all.

When the timer reaches 45 seconds left, the message "''You can feel a tremendous energy gathering! There isn't much time left!''" will appear. If the timer expires before players defeat the Tera Pokémon, the energy burst will be unleashed, expelling all players from the raid.

====Turn system====
The raid boss essentially participates in four concurrent one-on-one battles against each of the team members, and for each turn any player takes, the boss with get one turn against that player, with their relative order within that turn decided by priority or speed as usual. During these turns, the boss may use any move from its base moveset which is the moveset it will have if it is caught and thus contains up to four moves. Moves used by other players' Pokémon will appear as small speech bubbles next to their sprites in the top-left corner. A player will not see any messages for moves the raid boss uses against other players' Pokémon (except for additional moves described below), but if some of those moves affect its own stat stages (such as {{m|Calm Mind}} or {{m|Ancient Power}}), those stages will be in effect for all players, and can be seen by checking its status with the Y button. Likewise, moves that create weather or terrain conditions will create them for all four lanes, even if some players don't see the move being used; a particle effect will be visible in the center of the screen to indicate their presence.

If the raid that has been opened to other players (even if no others joined), then each time a player's menu comes up, that player must select an action within 60 seconds, or else the earliest selectable move in their moveset will automatically be used at that time.

====Targeting====

Players are allowed to target a teammate with their moves, but {{cat|moves that target all adjacent Pokémon}} (such as {{m|Earthquake}}) will only hit the raid boss. If the raid boss uses such a move, it will only hit the Pokémon whose lane it was used in, and will not receive a multiple-target damage penalty (except if it used as a scripted action as described below).

====Knockouts====
If a non-boss Pokémon faints, it will be revived after five seconds initially, plus an additional five-second wait for each time it has previously fainted in the battle. Additionally, this also reduces the timer by a number of seconds equal to the fainted Pokémon's level. Pokémon used by NPCs do not reduce the timer when they faint.

====Terastallization====
Each time a player's Pokémon successfully uses a direct-damaging move, this player's [[Tera Orb]] will gain one charge. If a player's [[Tera Orb]] has three charges, this player can Terastallize their Pokémon on any turn. Each player may only Terastallize once per raid, even if their Terastallized Pokémon faints.

Only direct-damaging moves, targeting either the raid boss or an ally, will count towards the Tera Orb's charge. [[Status move]]s, cheering and moves that miss do not count. If a damaging move is used while the boss's shield is up and deals so little damage that the shield reduction causes the damage to be less than ½, it will round down to 0 damage and that attack will not charge the Tera Orb either.

Unlike [[Max Raid Battle]]s, where only a single player can [[Dynamax]] their Pokémon and the option to do so rotates between players until it's used, all four participants in a Tera Raid Battle are permitted to Terastallize their Pokémon separately.

The allied NPCs never Terastallize their Pokémon.

====Scripted actions====
The boss may have scripted actions which take place at predefined thresholds of health or time. These actions interrupt players' access to the menu. If the thresholds for two or more scripted actions are met at the same moment (for instance because of heavy damages), the boss will perform all of them in sequence, and it will not be possible to access the menu again until each of them have finished their animations. A scripted action can happen between a player's command and the corresponding turn.

There are five types of scripted action: additional move, shield, negative effects removal, positive effects removal and [[Tera Orb]] charge stealing. Additional moves appear in 3★ and above raids while all the other actions appear in 4★ and above raids.

If an action's trigger is at 100% of time or HP remaining, it will thus trigger at the very start of the battle, before the players can take a turn. This often happens in 7★ raids.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1628992932039602177</ref>

=====Additional move=====
The boss uses a move outside of standard turn order. This move can be outside of their base moveset; if it is the case, it will not know it if it is caught.
* For moves that target a single Pokémon, a random target will be chosen, and all players will be able to see the move messages and the attack animation aimed in the direction of the targeted Pokémon even when it isn't their own.
* For moves that usually target multiple Pokémon, it will do so, and the multiple-target damage penalty will apply. This is the only way a move can ever hit multiple Pokémon during a Tera Raid Battle.

=====Shield=====
The boss produces a shield which severely reduces the damage of attacks from non-Terastallized Pokémon, blocks the effects of [[status move]]s and cures any non-volatile [[status condition]] it has upon activation. This action is never done more than once in a battle.

The shield applies a multiplier to incoming damages. There are three multipliers depending on the situation of the attacking Pokémon:
* the attacking Pokémon is not Terastallized: ×0.2;
* the attacking Pokémon is Terastallized and the move's type '''does not match''' the user's Tera Type: ×0.35;
* the attacking Pokémon is Terastallized and the move's type '''does match''' the user's Tera Type: ×0.75.

The previous multipliers' values are used for all 6★ and below raids,<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1610483831769018368</ref> which includes all non-event raids, but may be different for 7★ raids, going as far as being greater than 1 (thus increasing damages) or being very small (×0.01 for instance).

After the multiplier is applied, damage is rounded to the nearest whole number, with values of 0.5 and above rounding up.

After the boss's shield is broken, the boss will not move during the next turn the player will take.

=====Negative effects removal=====
The boss removes any non-volatile [[status condition]] it has and its negative [[stat modifier]]s. Its positive stat modifiers will remain as they are. All other effects such as {{m|Leech Seed}} or ability changes remain untouched.

=====Positive effects removal=====
The boss removes the positive [[stat modifier]]s of its opponents, as well as nullify their [[Ability|Abilities]] for the following turn. Negative stat modifiers will remain as they are. Pokémon that are knocked out during the removal are not affected by the Ability nullifying.

=====Tera Orb charge stealing=====
The boss removes one charge from each player's [[Tera Orb]]. Pokémon that have already Terastallized, have not built up any charge, or that are knocked out are unaffected.

====Additional commands====
The players cannot use items from their bags, but have additional commands exclusive to raids.

=====Running away=====

In an single-player raid, the host can choose to run away, ending the battle as a forfeit. If the raid has been opened to other players (even if no others joined), running is not possible, and will give the message ''"It's no good! You can't find an opening to run away from such a strong opponent!"''.

=====Cheers=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Mechanics behind cheers are still not entirely clear.}}
Players can opt to cheer instead of executing a move, up to three times per Tera Raid. Cheering has increased [[priority]] over moves, and its effectiveness appears to be random. The three cheer options are:
* '''Go all out!''': multiplies the user's and their allies' Attack and Sp. Atk by ×1.5 or ×2;
* '''Hang tough!''': multiplies the user's and their allies' Defense and Sp. Def by ×1.5 or ×2;
* '''Heal up!''': removes non-volatile [[status condition]]s and {{status|confusion}} from the user and their allies, and restores 20% to 100% of their total HP.

[[Stat]]-boosting effects from cheers are independent from other [[stat modifier]]s, which means that their effects stack multiplicatively. The stat boosts from the same cheer type do not stack with each other, but a repeated cheer may occasionally reroll a higher stat multiplier. Stat-boosting cheers last for three turns for each Pokémon, even if the Tera Raid Pokémon nullifies stat changes, or if an ally faints and returns to battle within those turns.<ref>[https://mobile.twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1607557138271936513 Anubis on Twitter: "The more I look into Tera Raid cheer mechanics, the more confused I am..."]</ref>


If there is at least one NPC Trainer in a Tera Raid Battle, the first one (based on the display order in the top-left corner) will always cheer "Hang tough!" on the first turn. NPCs will not perform any other cheers during the raid.

=====Callouts=====
The player can press the Minus button to choose between four Callouts: "Help!", "Everyone, attack together!", "Thanks!", and "I've got this!". They have no practical effect outside of communicating with other players. The Callouts are displayed to other players in a bubble just like how the player's Pokémon moves are displayed to them.

====Additional info====
* The raid boss has infinite [[PP]] on all of its moves.
* Pokémon found in 6★ or above Tera Raid Battles may have their [[Hidden Ability]].
** {{p|Ditto}} Tera Raid Battles are an exception, and always have a chance to have their Hidden Ability.

====Special cases====
{{incomplete|section|needs=What are the effects of moves such as Destiny Bond, Endeavor, Pain Split, Eruption etc. when used in a Tera Raid Battle?}}
* If the raid boss attempts to use the move {{m|Self-Destruct}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Misty Explosion}} or {{m|Final Gambit}}, the move will fail.
* {{m|Guard Split}}, {{m|Power Split}} and {{m|Perish Song}} will fail if used in a Tera Raid Battle.
* If a [[one-hit knockout move]] lands, the raid boss will be unaffected.
* If the raid boss has {{a|Imposter}}, it will transform into the host's Pokémon.

===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 to catch the Pokémon. This capture cannot fail, regardless of the type of ball used, or whether the player is the host or participant of the battle.

===Difficulty===
Tera Raid Pokémon have their [[HP]] increased for the duration of the battle, as well as having one or more of their [[IV]]s guaranteed to be set to 31. Additionally, 6★ raid Pokémon are temporarily set to level 90 for the duration of the battle, but are reduced to level 75 when captured.

===Encounters===
The Pokémon available to fight in Tera Raid Battles changes with the star value of the raid, as well as which version of the game the player is playing. The raid boss's Tera Type is chosen independently of the Pokémon itself, and has no influence over which Pokémon the raid boss will be.

===NPC Trainers===
If there are less than four players in a Tera Raid Battle, NPC Trainers will fill in. The Pokémon used by these Trainers get stronger as the player unlocks more difficult Tera Raids.

All Pokémon listed below have the following properties:
* [[Nature]]: Hardy
* {{EV}}s: 252 {{stat|HP}}, 128 {{stat|Defense}}, 128 {{stat|Sp. Defense}}
* {{IV}}s: 10 for {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Sp. Attack}}, 31 for all other stats

The NPC Pokémon will have a level equal to 80% of the level of the host's Pokémon, rounded down (but not to less than 1). If the host's Pokémon is at level 1, the NPC Pokémon will be at level 80.

====1★====
NPC Trainers use the following Pokémon after 1★ Tera Raids are unlocked. Their level of 16 assumes that the host is bringing a level 20 Pokémon.
