How to Join 7-Star Inteleon Raid Event

Unlock 6-Star Tera Raids to Participate

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - 7-Star Tera Raid Battle  World View

Inteleon normally cannot be found in Paldea, making the 7-Star Event Inteleon 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 Inteleon, keep your eyes peeled for a Black Tera Raid symbol on the map with the Ice-type icon.

Inteleon Raid FAQs

Can You Catch a Shiny Inteleon from the Raid?

Inteleon is Shiny Locked

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Inteleon Tera Raid Event

Inteleon's own Tera Raid is Shiny-locked, as it was with previous 7-Star Tera Raids.

You can still get a Shiny Inteleon if you catch it in the raid, breed and hatch for a Shiny Sobble, and evolve it, although it will not have the Mightiest Mark.

Can You Get Shiny Inteleon?

What is Ice-type's Weakness?

Ice is Weak to Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel-type Attacks

Weak to:
(2x)
Pokemon Fire Type Icon Pokemon Fighting Type Icon Pokemon Rock Type Icon Pokemon Steel Type Icon
Damaged Normally By: (1x)
Pokemon Normal Type Icon Pokemon Water Type Icon Pokemon Grass Type Icon Pokemon Electric Type Icon Pokemon Poison Type Icon Pokemon Ground Type Icon Pokemon Flying Type Icon Pokemon Psychic Type Icon Pokemon Bug Type Icon Pokemon Ghost Type Icon Pokemon Dragon Type Icon Pokemon Dark Type Icon Pokemon Fairy Type Icon
Resists: (0.5x)
Pokemon Ice Type Icon

Inteleon, during the Tera Raid, will have an Ice Tera Type and not its regular Water typing.

Due to this, Inteleon's weakness during the raid will be Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel-type moves. You can use these moves when attacking, but try not to use Fire and Rock-type Pokemon as they are vulnerable to Inteleon's Water-type attacks.

What is the Move Mist?

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Inteleon Using Mist

One of Inteleon's initial moves during the raid is Mist. This move protects it from stat-lowering moves for five turns.

This means that while Mist is active on the field, Inteleon cannot be affected by moves such as Screech, Fake Tears, Metal Sound, and the like. These also include moves that deal damage and reduce stats, like Acid Spray.

You can use Haze and Defog to remove Mist from Inteleon's side, then you can start applying stat reductions after clearing it.

List of Stat-Reducing Moves

Can You Catch Inteleon Again?

Only Catchable Once Per Event

Like with previous 7-Star Raids, you can only catch one 7-Star Inteleon, although you may still participate in other Inteleon raids and get the rewards if you complete it.

Additionally, players who caught the Inteleon in Round 1 will not be able to catch Inteleon again even if they participate in Round 2.

Can You Breed the 7-Star Inteleon?

You Can Breed It for a Sobble

Once you've caught the Inteleon, you can easily breed it to produce Sobble Eggs. Like other bred Pokemon, they also have a chance to be Shiny!

However, note that these Sobble will not inherit the Mightiest Mark from the 7-Star Inteleon.

Breeding Guide: How to Breed and Get Eggs

Will Inteleon Have Its Hidden Ability?

Raid Inteleon Will Have Its Hidden Ability

The raid Inteleon has Sniper, which is its Hidden Ability. This Ability boosts the power of critical hit moves.

List of Hidden Abilities

Can You Obtain Gigantamax Inteleon?

Gigantamax Inteleon Not Available

Gigantamax Inteleon
Water Icon

The Dynamax and Gigantamax feature introduced in Pokemon Sword and Shield is not present in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Therefore, you will not be able to encounter Gigantamax Inteleon during the raid.

Lotta poor info here. First off, if Kingambit is one of the best counters, I'd hate to see the worst. It's got middling SpD that lets it just get demolished by Snipe Shot. But secondly, Mist doesn't prevent damaging moves with secondary effects from lowering stats. Sacred Fire Flutter Mane is amazing for this, and Espathra is a decent enough SpD debuffer because of it.

4 Anonymousover 1 year

There might be something wrong with this inteleon, it did nothing but spam blizzard the entire time besides the setup moves and i was using the Annihilape. *beware* It can double tap you with the blizzard spam even when paralyzed.
