The special 7-star Tera Raid Event featuring Quaquaval with the Water Tera Type has ended! The event ran from March 14~20, 2025 (23:59 UTC). All 3 Paldea Starter Pokemon will had back to back Tera Raid Events as announced on Pokemon Day!
Quaquaval with the Mightiest Mark, the featured Pokemon for this event, could only be caught once. However, you could still participate in this event even after you've caught Quaquaval if you want to get more of its rewards.
Just like previous 7-Star Tera Raid events, the 7-Star Quaquaval 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 use Pokemon that can disable or remove Quaquaval's Moxie! Having NPC Allies will be detrimental as they are only Level 75 which Quaquaval can easily defeat and max out its Attack stat.
Alternatively, you can just connect with other players so Moxie isn't that much of an issue. Use our Raid Codes Board to set up raids with other trainers!

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 Quaquaval's Attack.
The best allies in this situation would be Arcanine, Staraptor, and Paldean Tauros.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Other Counters for 7-Star Quaquaval Raid | |||||||
Attention! |
Most of these counters require you to have one or two Intimidate NPCs to Solo! |
|---|
The best counters for the Quaquaval Tera Raid are Eelektross or Victreebel! While the usual Miraidon or Bellibolt can make for amazing attackers, they can easily fall if Quaquaval gets enough boosts from Moxie, so you need to focus on stopping the attack buffs.
Eelektross and Victreebel can both handle removing Moxie from Quaquaval while also dishing out decent damage thanks to Acid Spray combined with their respective super-effective STAB moves.

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

Going forward it would be great if you'd highlight when a move is an egg move or requires the DLC. While my wife can trade into my game for access to DLC TMs, it would be nice to know about that beforehand. Also would love to not waste my time building a Pokemon only to learn the set includes an egg move.
