Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid event in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet. Table of contentsWhen is the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid event in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet?How to find Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raids in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and VioletCan you catch more than one Shiny Rayquaza in the Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid event?How to catch Shiny Rayquaza in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and VioletBeating the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and VioletWhat type is Rayquaza in the Tera Raid?Rayquaza Tera Raid movesetBest counters for the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and VioletWhat is the best Nature for Rayquaza in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet? When is the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid event in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet? The Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid event will take place from Thursday, Dec. 19 at 6:00pm CT to Sunday, Jan. 5 at 5:59pm CT. During this time, special five-star Blissey Tera Raids will also pop up around the map. How to find Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raids in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet To find the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raids, you must first beat the main story to unlock five-star Tera Raids. After that, follow these steps to find your Shiny Legendary:\u00a0 During the event period, connect to the internet and make sure your Pok\u00e9 Portal News is up to date. Open your map and look for a glowing Dragon Tera Raid icon. Set that as your destination. If you can\u2019t find the right event Tera Raids on your map, restart your game and try again. Follow the orange flag on your minimap until you reach your destination. You can speed up the process by flying to the nearest Pok\u00e9mon Center or landmark and then riding on Koraidon or Miraidon. When you reach the Tera Raid den, interact with the crystal to ensure it\u2019s a five-star raid with Rayquaza\u2019s silhouette. You can also use the Tera Raid Battle Search feature in the Pok\u00e9 Portal to participate in group raids with fellow players online. This requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Can you catch more than one Shiny Rayquaza in the Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid event? You are limited to catching one Shiny Rayquaza in this specific Tera Raid event. While you can rechallenge the Shiny Rayquaza raid multiple times throughout the event period for more rewards, you won\u2019t be able to throw another Pok\u00e9 Ball at the dragon once you\u2019ve already caught one. How to catch Shiny Rayquaza in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Currently, the only way to catch Shiny Rayquaza in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet is by beating the Tera Raid while it\u2019s around. The good news is that Rayquaza is guaranteed to be Shiny in this event, so you won\u2019t have to spend too much time hunting for it. Outside of the Tera Raid event, Rayquaza is Shiny-locked like other Legendary Pok\u00e9mon in the Gen IX games, meaning you won\u2019t find their Shiny variants even if luck is on your side. If you have The Indigo Disk DLC, you can find a normal Rayquaza after earning a Rayquaza Treat from Snacksworth in exchange for completing Blueberry Quests (BBQs) at the Terarium. Beating the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet As a five-star Tera Raid, Shiny Rayquaza will be tough but not too difficult to beat. As long as you bring a Pok\u00e9mon that can deal meaningful damage while staying alive, you should be able to defeat and catch Rayquaza. If you plan on soloing the raid, it helps to have NPC allies that can use Intimidate, paralyze Rayquaza, or heal your Pok\u00e9mon. Some good examples are Tauros, Umbreon, and Gardevoir. What type is Rayquaza in the Tera Raid? Rayquaza is a Dragon\/Flying-type Pok\u00e9mon, and it will have the Dragon Tera Type for this specific Tera Raid event. This means Fairy, Dragon, and Ice attacks will do super-effective damage against Rayquaza here. You may, however, want to avoid bringing a Dragon-type counter since they are also vulnerable to Rayquaza\u2019s Dragon attacks. Rayquaza Tera Raid moveset In this Tera Raid battle, Rayquaza is a mixed attacker with physical and special attacks and one setup move. On the physical side, it\u2019ll hit you with Dragon Ascent, Earthquake, and Extreme Speed\u2014all boosted by Dragon Dance. On the special side, it has Dragon Pulse, Draco Meteor, and Hurricane. Moves Additional moves Dragon Pulse Dragon Ascent Hurricane Draco Meteor Extreme Speed Dragon Dance Earthquake Best counters for the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Since this is a five-star raid rather than a seven-star one, you should be able to pull out a win against Rayquaza with any strong Pok\u00e9mon with the type advantage. That being said, I\u2019ve found that the best counter is Azumarill. Best Azumarill Tera Raid build in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet If you\u2019ve participated in previous Tera Raid events, you understand just how good Azumarill is against raid bosses. The Water\/Fairy bunny not only has a favorable type matchup against Rayquaza but also comes with the fastest setup move in the game\u2014Belly Drum. Tera Type Held Item Ability Nature Moveset EVs Fairy Shell Bell Huge Power Adamant (+ Attack, - Special Attack) Belly Drum\u00a0 Play Rough 252 HP\u00a0 252 Attack\u00a0 For this build, the game plan is simple. Start with Belly Drum to maximize your Attack stat in exchange for half of Azumarill\u2019s HP. After that, spam Play Rough to deal massive damage. Azumarill\u2019s stat boosts will be eliminated at one point in the battle, so use another Belly Drum after that happens. Terastallize your Pok\u00e9mon to the Fairy Tera Type as soon as it\u2019s safe to do so to dish out even more damage. What is the best Nature for Rayquaza in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet? As a Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, Rayquaza\u2019s stats are great all around. Its Attack and Special Attack stats are the same at 150, so you can choose a physical, special, or mixed build. This flexibility means the right Nature for Rayquaza depends on which build you go for. For a fully physical Rayquaza, look for Adamant (+ Attack, - Special Attack) as its Nature. Rayquaza\u2019s signature move, Dragon Ascent, is a powerful physical attack, so the Adamant Nature works well here. Plus, it can take advantage of Extreme Speed and strike before the opponent. It can also boost its Attack and Speed thanks to Dragon Dance. If you\u2019d rather run a special Rayquaza, give it a Modest (+ Special Attack, - Attack) Nature. This powers up strong special moves like Draco Meteor, Overheat, and Hurricane. If you want the best of both worlds, make your Rayquaza a mixed attacker with a Lonely (+ Attack, - Defense) or Naughty (+ Attack,

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid event in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet. Table of contentsWhen is the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid event in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet?How to find Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raids in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and VioletCan you catch more than one Shiny Rayquaza in the Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid event?How to catch Shiny Rayquaza in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and VioletBeating the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and VioletWhat type is Rayquaza in the Tera Raid?Rayquaza Tera Raid movesetBest counters for the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and VioletWhat is the best Nature for Rayquaza in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet? When is the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid event in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet? The Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid event will take place from Thursday, Dec. 19 at 6:00pm CT to Sunday, Jan. 5 at 5:59pm CT. During this time, special five-star Blissey Tera Raids will also pop up around the map. How to find Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raids in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet To find the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raids, you must first beat the main story to unlock five-star Tera Raids. After that, follow these steps to find your Shiny Legendary:\u00a0 During the event period, connect to the internet and make sure your Pok\u00e9 Portal News is up to date. Open your map and look for a glowing Dragon Tera Raid icon. Set that as your destination. If you can\u2019t find the right event Tera Raids on your map, restart your game and try again. Follow the orange flag on your minimap until you reach your destination. You can speed up the process by flying to the nearest Pok\u00e9mon Center or landmark and then riding on Koraidon or Miraidon. When you reach the Tera Raid den, interact with the crystal to ensure it\u2019s a five-star raid with Rayquaza\u2019s silhouette. You can also use the Tera Raid Battle Search feature in the Pok\u00e9 Portal to participate in group raids with fellow players online. This requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Can you catch more than one Shiny Rayquaza in the Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid event? You are limited to catching one Shiny Rayquaza in this specific Tera Raid event. While you can rechallenge the Shiny Rayquaza raid multiple times throughout the event period for more rewards, you won\u2019t be able to throw another Pok\u00e9 Ball at the dragon once you\u2019ve already caught one. How to catch Shiny Rayquaza in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Currently, the only way to catch Shiny Rayquaza in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet is by beating the Tera Raid while it\u2019s around. The good news is that Rayquaza is guaranteed to be Shiny in this event, so you won\u2019t have to spend too much time hunting for it. Outside of the Tera Raid event, Rayquaza is Shiny-locked like other Legendary Pok\u00e9mon in the Gen IX games, meaning you won\u2019t find their Shiny variants even if luck is on your side. If you have The Indigo Disk DLC, you can find a normal Rayquaza after earning a Rayquaza Treat from Snacksworth in exchange for completing Blueberry Quests (BBQs) at the Terarium. Beating the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet As a five-star Tera Raid, Shiny Rayquaza will be tough but not too difficult to beat. As long as you bring a Pok\u00e9mon that can deal meaningful damage while staying alive, you should be able to defeat and catch Rayquaza. If you plan on soloing the raid, it helps to have NPC allies that can use Intimidate, paralyze Rayquaza, or heal your Pok\u00e9mon. Some good examples are Tauros, Umbreon, and Gardevoir. What type is Rayquaza in the Tera Raid? Rayquaza is a Dragon\/Flying-type Pok\u00e9mon, and it will have the Dragon Tera Type for this specific Tera Raid event. This means Fairy, Dragon, and Ice attacks will do super-effective damage against Rayquaza here. You may, however, want to avoid bringing a Dragon-type counter since they are also vulnerable to Rayquaza\u2019s Dragon attacks. Rayquaza Tera Raid moveset In this Tera Raid battle, Rayquaza is a mixed attacker with physical and special attacks and one setup move. On the physical side, it\u2019ll hit you with Dragon Ascent, Earthquake, and Extreme Speed\u2014all boosted by Dragon Dance. On the special side, it has Dragon Pulse, Draco Meteor, and Hurricane. Moves Additional moves Dragon Pulse Dragon Ascent Hurricane Draco Meteor Extreme Speed Dragon Dance Earthquake Best counters for the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet Since this is a five-star raid rather than a seven-star one, you should be able to pull out a win against Rayquaza with any strong Pok\u00e9mon with the type advantage. That being said, I\u2019ve found that the best counter is Azumarill. Best Azumarill Tera Raid build in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet If you\u2019ve participated in previous Tera Raid events, you understand just how good Azumarill is against raid bosses. The Water\/Fairy bunny not only has a favorable type matchup against Rayquaza but also comes with the fastest setup move in the game\u2014Belly Drum. Tera Type Held Item Ability Nature Moveset EVs Fairy Shell Bell Huge Power Adamant (+ Attack, - Special Attack) Belly Drum\u00a0 Play Rough 252 HP\u00a0 252 Attack\u00a0 For this build, the game plan is simple. Start with Belly Drum to maximize your Attack stat in exchange for half of Azumarill\u2019s HP. After that, spam Play Rough to deal massive damage. Azumarill\u2019s stat boosts will be eliminated at one point in the battle, so use another Belly Drum after that happens. Terastallize your Pok\u00e9mon to the Fairy Tera Type as soon as it\u2019s safe to do so to dish out even more damage. What is the best Nature for Rayquaza in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet? As a Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, Rayquaza\u2019s stats are great all around. Its Attack and Special Attack stats are the same at 150, so you can choose a physical, special, or mixed build. This flexibility means the right Nature for Rayquaza depends on which build you go for. For a fully physical Rayquaza, look for Adamant (+ Attack, - Special Attack) as its Nature. Rayquaza\u2019s signature move, Dragon Ascent, is a powerful physical attack, so the Adamant Nature works well here. Plus, it can take advantage of Extreme Speed and strike before the opponent. It can also boost its Attack and Speed thanks to Dragon Dance. If you\u2019d rather run a special Rayquaza, give it a Modest (+ Special Attack, - Attack) Nature. This powers up strong special moves like Draco Meteor, Overheat, and Hurricane. If you want the best of both worlds, make your Rayquaza a mixed attacker with a Lonely (+ Attack, - Defense) or Naughty (+ Attack,
