Tera Raid Event Location

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

Pokemon SV - Infernape Raid Intimidate

Make Sure to Finish the Raid Quickly Near the End!

Pokemon SV - Infernape Raid Finish Quickly
Near the end of the Raid, Infernape will use both Swords Dance and Focus Energy. Make sure to quickly take it out before it can land a nasty Flare Blitz at you costing you the raid at the end.

How to Join 7-Star Infernape Raid Event

Unlock 6-Star Tera Raids to Participate

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

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