The special 7-star Tera Raid Event featuring Skeledirge with the Fire Tera Type is now over! The Raid ended on March 20, 2025 (23:59 UTC). All 3 Paldea Starter Pokemon will have back to back Tera Raid Events as announced on Pokemon Day!
Skeledirge 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 Skeledirge if you want to get more of its rewards.
Just like previous 7-Star Tera Raid events, the 7-Star Skeledirge 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.

| Other Counters for 7-Star Skeledirge Raid | |||||||
Attention! |
Do note that most of these builds need either the Light Screen Bellibolt or Life Dew Gardevoir in order to Solo! | ||||||
The best counters for the Skeledirge Tera Raid are Tentacruel or Quagsire! Tentacruel can use Throat Chop and lock Skeledirge out of its key moves.
Alternatively, Quagsire also has Unaware which lets you ignore the Sp. Atk buffs Skeledirge can obtain from Torch Song.
Do make sure you have either Bellibolt or Gardevoir as allies, as solo-ing this raid is near impossible without them.

Beating this 7-Star Tera Raid will allow you to catch an Skeledirge that will have the Mightiest Mark and its Hidden Ability, Unaware.
This event is the first time you can get a Skeledirge that can pass on a different Poke Ball onto a Fuecoco! Make sure to choose carefully, as this is a rare opportunity.

All Raid Power Sandwich Recipes

Skeledirge normally cannot be found in Paldea, making the 7-Star Event Skeledirge 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 Skeledirge, keep your eyes peeled for a Black Tera Raid symbol on the map with the Fire-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
