Charizard with the Mightiest Mark, the featured Pokemon for this event, can only be caught once. However, you can still participate in this event even after you've caught Charizard if you want to get more of its rewards.

You Couldn't Catch Charizard if You've Participated in the First Run

If you caught the Mighty Charizard from its initial 2022 run, you won't be able to catch one during this event series.

Tera Raid Event Location

Just like previous 7-Star Tera Raid events, the 7-Star Charizard Raid Dens would only spawn in Paldea. If you haven't purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, no need to worry as the Raid Den cannot appear in Kitakami or the Terarium. You also don't need to do the Mochi Mayhem Epilogue in order to start this raid.

7-Star Charizard Tera Raid Moveset

Charizard Moveset and Abilities

Pokemon	Set
Charizard	Tera Type: Ability: Solar Power (Hidden Ability) IVs: 31 IVs in Every Stat Nature: Modest ・ Dragon Pulse ・ Fire Blast ・ Hurricane ・ Focus Blast Can also use: ・ Overheat ・ Tera Blast ・ Sunny Day ・ Inferno

The Dragon-Tera Type Charizard in the 7-Star Raid is running a Special Attacking set with its main attacking moves being Dragon Pulse and Fire Blast. It also packs Sunny Day which lets it activate its Solar Power Ability, as well as power up its Fire-type moves.

Thankfully it reduces the accuracy of its Hurricane, and Focus Blast has shaky accuracy too. If you're lucky, this Charizard will actually have a hard time hitting you.

Best Solo Counter for 7-Star Charizard Raid: Sylveon

Sylveon, with its Hidden Ability Pixilate, can easily take down the Charizard with relative ease. With it being the first ever 7-Star Tera Raid, it was pretty easy to take down compared to newer Raids like Venusaur or Empoleon.

Summary
Amazing Sp.Def and immunity to Dragon Type moves. Pixilate turns Hyper Beam into a busted 150 BP move. Fake Tears and Calm Mind are great moves to boost your damage.

Best Support for 7-Star Charizard Raid: Alcremie

Boasting amazing Sp. Def and its Signature Move, Decorate. Alcremie sets itself up as an amazing support for this raid despite not being present in the first run of the Charizard Raids.

How to Join 7-Star Charizard Raid Event

Unlock 6-Star Tera Raids to Participate

Charizard normally cannot be found in Paldea, making the 7-Star Event Charizard quite the catch, but you have to fight it in a Black Crystal Tera Raid.

These raids are tough, so trainers will have to prepare in advance. It's also recommended to complete the post-game before you participate. Players who are in earlier points of the game can still join via Link Code, but it is highly discouraged since these 7-Star raids will be extremely difficult.

How to Unlock 6-Star Raids and List of Pokemon

Black Tera Raids vs. Normal Tera Raids

Remember that Black Tera Raid symbols on the map do not come in any other color except black. Meanwhile, normal Tera Raid symbols are colored according to the Tera Type of the Pokemon in them.

When you're looking for the Tera Raid with the 7-Star Charizard, keep your eyes peeled for a Black Tera Raid symbol on the map with the Dragon-type icon.
