| Unlock Requirements |
Complete the Main Story To gain access to 5-Star Raids, you need to finish the game's three storylines (Victory Road, Starfall Street, and Path of Legends), as well as the The Way Home storyline. |
The 5-Star Tera Raid Event featuring Ting-Lu with a Ground Tera Type will begin on August 18, 2025 until August 31, 2025, directly following the Shiny Chien-Pao Raid!
| Shiny Ting-Lu Mystery Gift Countdown |

| Mystery GIft is Now Out! |
Unlike previous Tera Raids, Ting-Lu cannot be caught and can only be defeated for rewards. Instead, players from around the world must make a collaborative effort to defeat it 1,000,000 times during the event duration.
It is recommended to complete the raid via multiplayer as it will count for four entries per raid versus going at it solo!

If you're planning to do this raid, make sure to be prepared to be hit by Ruination. Meaning before you can even move, you have to start the raid with half your HP, but most of the best Pokemon for this raid will have Shell Bell or run Giga Drain so don't worry too much.

Try to find Logan's Arboliva to have a permanent Grassy Terrain up on field. If you're using an Acid Spray Pokemon or Appletun, it can also deal decent damage with its Energy Ball!
