The special 7-star Tera Raid Event featuring Meowscarada with the Grass Tera Type is now over! The Raid ended on March 7, 2025 (23:59 UTC). All 3 Paldea Starter Pokemon will have back to back Tera Raid Events as announced on Pokemon Day!
Meowscarada with the Mightiest Mark, the featured Pokemon for this event, can only be caught once. However, you could still participate in this event even after you've caught Meowscarada if you want to get more of its rewards.
Just like previous 7-Star Tera Raid events, the 7-Star Meowscarada 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.

If you want to solo this Raid, try to look for NPC Allies with the Ability Intimidate. This can be immensely helpful, as allies will almost always faint every turn, having them repeatedly send out and lowering Meowscarada's Attack.
The best allies in this situation would be Arcanine, Staraptor, and Paldean Tauros.

Click on the Icon to jump to a specific Pokemon's build!
The best counters for the Meowscarada Tera Raid are Armarouge or Ceruledge! Despite their weakness to Dark-type moves, these two can quickly build Tera Orb charges with Acid Spray and Bitter Blade respectively!
Armarouge can then keep attacking with Lava Plume and Ceruledge can safely set-up with Swords Dance while getting HP back via Bitter Blade as needed.

All Raid Power Sandwich Recipes
Meowscarada normally cannot be found in Paldea, making the 7-Star Event Meowscarada 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
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 Meowscarada, keep your eyes peeled for a Black Tera Raid symbol on the map with the Grass-type icon.
Black Crystal Tera Raid Battles
You are able to join Event Raid Dens online. When the event is live, you can use our Tera Raid Board to coordinate a team to take it down!
To participate in the event with other players, you must have a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership, which is bought separately from the game.
Multiplayer Modes: All New Co-Op Adventure and Connectivity Options
Trainers must also make sure they have the latest version of Poke Portal News in their game. This should automatically download if your Switch is connected to the Internet.
