Just like previous 7-Star Tera Raid events, the 7-Star Goodra Raid Dens would only spawn in Paldea. No need to worry as the Raid Den cannot appear in Kitakami or the Terarium. You also don't need to do the Epilogue in order to start this raid.

Goodra Has Sap Sipper!

Pokemon SV - Goodra Tera Raid Ability
As seen with the Dragonite Raid and Tyranitar Raid, these Pokemon can have their standard Abilities instead of thier Hidden ones. Sap Sipper is the more annoying ability for Goodra as it locks you out of using Grass-type Pokemon.

Reset for NPC Allies: Bellibolt and Gardevoir

How to Join 7-Star Goodra Raid Event

Unlock 6-Star Tera Raids to Participate

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - 7-Star Tera Raid Battle  World View

Goodra normally cannot be found in Paldea, making the 7-Star Event Goodra 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

Black Tera Raids vs. Normal Tera Raids

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 Goodra, keep your eyes peeled for a Black Tera Raid symbol on the map with the Water-type icon.

Eelektroos is the GOAT of the raid AGAIN EVS in Sp Def and Atk, Levitate makes Eelektroos imune to Goodra's Earthquake. -Supercell Slam -Coil (only 1 is enough to avoid crash damage) -Light Screen (halves most of Goodra moves) -Electroweb/Eerie Impulse (I used Electroweb because Goodra is faster, but you can use Eerie Impulse to tank special moves even more).
