Obtain as Reward from Multi-Star Tera Raid Battles

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV) - Tera Shard as Reward from Tera Raid Battles

You can get Tera Shards as rewards for clearing higher difficulty Tera Raid Battles, in the range of 3★ raids and up. You can obtain rewards as long as you catch or defeat the raid Pokemon!

Tera Shard Obtained Corresponds to Tera Type Den

The Tera Shard you can obtain from Tera Raid Battles will be the same type of the raid Pokemon's Tera Type, and not the Pokemon's original typing.

For example, if you defeated a wild Pokemon with a Fire Tera Type, you will only get Fire Tera Shards.
