The 7-Star Tera Raid Event featuring Hydreigon with a Poison Tera Type is now over! Round 2 of the event ran from November 14, 2025 (00:00 UTC) until November 16, 2025 (11:59 UTC) as a set with the Powerhouse Pokemon Tera Raid Events.
Hydreigon 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 Hydreigon if you wanted to get more of its rewards.
Just like previous 7-Star Tera Raid events, the 7-Star Hydreigon 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.

Meal Powers last for 30 minutes, so try to find and beat as many raids as possible during that time!
All Raid Power Sandwich Recipes

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

You clearly don’t know about Tera raids, do you? Instead of its usual Dark and Dragon typing, this Tera raid makes it a pure poison type, therefore making it weak to Psycho Cut.
