You and Your Squad: Conquering the Mount Everest of Pokemon Raids (a.k.a. 7-Star Tera Raids)
So, you've battled your way through Paldea, tamed those rambunctious Starmobiles, and even become the ultimate champion. You're basically a Pokemon rockstar now, living the good life. But a restless itch whispers in your ear... you crave a challenge that'll make even the toughest Gym Leader sweat. Enter the 7-Star Tera Raids, the undisputed Everest of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's endgame.
But hold your Charizard, aspiring Raid Slayer! These aren't for the faint of heart (or for those with under-leveled Pikachus). Here's the lowdown on how to unlock these legendary throwdowns and emerge victorious, without losing your entire dignity (or sanity).
Step 1: Prove You're Not a Total Noob (i.e. Beat the Game)
This shouldn't come as a surprise, but you gotta conquer the main story first. Think of it as Pokemon bootcamp. You need the experience, the badges (because who doesn't love a good badge collection?), and frankly, the bragging rights to even consider tackling these behemoths.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
Step 2: Become the Ultimate Gym Buddy (Rematch Time!)
Remember those lovely Gym Leaders you just dominated? Guess what? They're back for round two! Don't worry, they won't hold a grudge (hopefully). You need to prove you're still the top dog by defeating them again. Think of it as a way to show off your new moves and maybe flaunt that fancy Champion cape.
Step 3: The Ace Academy Tournament: Because Champions Need Practice
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
After the rematch victory lap, you'll be invited to a little shindig called the Academy Ace Tournament. It's basically a chance to flex your muscles against other talented trainers and, more importantly, unlock the 6-Star Raids. Consider these a warm-up for the 7-Star main event.

Step 4: Become a Raid Master (But Seriously, You Gotta Grind Those 5 and 6-Star Raids)
Here's where things get grindy. You need to participate in and win a bunch of 5 and 6-Star Raids. Nobody knows the exact number, but let's just say enough to make those legendaries you just beat look like cuddly wooloos. Get ready to strategize, team up with other trainers online, and maybe shed a tear or two (hopefully tears of joy when you finally win).
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
Congratulations! You've Unlocked the 7-Star Raids... Now What?
Hold on there, champion-in-training! 7-Star Raids are special events, not a permanent fixture in the game. Keep an eye on those in-game news feeds and online announcements. When a 7-Star Raid event drops, you'll be ready to rumble!
Bonus Tip: Laughter is the Best Medicine (Especially When You Faint)
QuickTip: Skim the ending to preview key takeaways.
These Raids are tough. Like, REALLY tough. There will be moments of frustration, tears may flow (it's okay, we've all been there), and your team might get pummeled into oblivion. But remember, trainers, laughter is the best medicine! Don't be afraid to poke fun at yourself (or your teammates, in a friendly way) when things go south. After all, a good laugh can help you regroup and strategize for the next attempt.
So there you have it, aspiring Raid Masters! With a little dedication, some serious grinding, and a healthy dose of humor, you'll be conquering those 7-Star Raids in no time. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work (and by dream, we mean crushing those Tera-fied Pokemon into oblivion). Now get out there and show those Pokemon who's boss!
