Black Crystal Tera Raid Battles are challenging Tera Raid Battles in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV) which feature rare and tough Pokemon and give out rewards. Read on for more information about Black Crystal Tera Raid Battles, how to unlock them, and what types of raids appear here!
List of Contents
Black Crystal Tera Raid Battles are tougher Tera Raid Battles that can appear all across the Paldea region. In these raids, you will be facing Pokemon that are stronger compared to regular raid battles.
These Black Crystals are the source of 6-Star Raids, and during events are also the source of 7-Star Raids.
Pokemon that appear in Black Crystals are very powerful and have high individual values (IVs). There is also a chance that you can catch one that has a Hidden Ability.
Paldea Pokedex: All Confirmed Pokemon
Black Crystals will only start appearing on the map after unlocking 6-Star Tera Raids, which are unlocked after completing the main story and the Academy Ace Tournament.
You can, however, join another player's raid battle via multiplayer. This will allow you to catch the featured Pokemon, even if you haven't cleared the game.
They will also appear if a 7-Star Tera Raid event is active.

Rare Pokemon can appear in 6-Star Black Crystal Tera Raid Battles, like those that need special methods to be evolved or exclusives that can only be found in your version of the game.
Pokemon that do not normally appear in Paldea can also be encountered here in the form of limited-time Tera Raid Battle events which are 7-Star Tera Raids. If you missed these events, they may be made available in future Tera Raid events and distributions, so don't worry if you miss participating in these events!
Special Pokemon that are captured in Black Crystal Tera Raid Battles can only be caught once per save data, but you will still be able to partake in these raid battles and get rewards after capturing the Pokemon.
These Pokemon will always have the same mark, Ability, and moves regardless of when you capture them, so you do not have to worry about the time and date when you participate in these raids.
Pokemon featured in Event Black Crystal Tera Raid Battles will have a special Mark These marks display the difficulty level of the Tera Raid Battle where you caught them.
Pokemon you caught in these raid battles will also have Titles along with their name. These are unique tags that will be displayed when you bring out the Pokemon in battle. So far Charizard and Cinderace are the only two Pokemon to receive the Mighty Mark and Unrivalled Title
Completing 6 and 7-Star Black Crystal Tera Raid battles reward you with valuable items such as Ability Patches, Herba Mystica, and Ability Capsules.
6-Star Raid Pokemon and Rewards
After completing the Academy Ace Tournament, Jacq will call you and talk about dangerous new Raids appearing; however, you still won't unlock 6-Star Raids until you complete 8-10 offline or online 4-Star Raids or higher either in your game world or someone else's. Note that there is no way to tell which Tera Crystals have 5-star raids while offline, so you will need to search until you find one.
After you've done cleared enough Tera Raids, you'll get a call from Jacq saying that 6-Star Raids have appeared in the form of Black Crystals on the map.
Look for the black crystal icon on the map.
Black Crystals in the overworld reset at 12:00AM. You can change your system time in in your Switch to respawn a new black crystal on the map should you wish to do tera raid battles repeatedly.
Note that only one black crystal appears on the map.
