Tera Raid Event Codes Board

Tera Raid Event Location

Just like previous 7-Star Tera Raid events, the 7-Star Empoleon 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.

Make Sure Not to Activate Competitive

Pokemon SV The Indigo Disk DLC - Empoleon Raid - Competitive

Competitive is Empoleon's Hidden Ability and will activate every time any of its stats are lowered. Make sure to avoid letting Empoleon stack up on Sp. Atk buffs as it will mean a quick and easy defeat for your party!
Competitive Effect and Pokemon With This Ability

Use Moves that Affect Empoleon's Ability

Pokemon SV The Indigo Disk DLC - Empoleon Raid - Skill Swap

Try to use moves like Skill Swap or Worry Seed in order to fully lock Empoleon out from buffing itself. Using Pokemon with the ability, Unaware could also work.
Skill Swap TM Location (TM098) and Pokemon That Learn It

Avoid NPC Allies that Like to Use Debuffs

Pokemon SV The Indigo Disk DLC - Empoleon Raid - Counter Debuffs
While useful in other Tera Raids, NPC Allies that have debuffing abilities and moves are extremely dangerous to have in this raid. Examples like the Staraptor, Paldean Tauros, and even Arcanine are some examples.

Due to the level difference between NPC Allies and 7-Star Tera Raid Bosses, they can get easily knocked out and repeatedly debuff Empoleon, activating its Competitive Ability multiple times.

How to Join 7-Star Empoleon Raid Event

Unlock 6-Star Tera Raids to Participate

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

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