Get ready for a slimy showdown! The usually calm and collected Goodra is about to unleash chaos in the world of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. But here's the twist: this isn't your average Goodra—it's a 7-star Tera Raid Battle variant with the Mightiest Mark, and it's ready to prove its dominance. Mark your calendars, trainers, because this Dragon-type Pokémon will be wreaking havoc at black Tera Raid crystals from Friday, November 21, 2025, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, November 23, 2025, at 23:59 UTC, and again from Friday, November 28, 2025, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, November 30, 2025, at 23:59 UTC.
And this is the part most people miss: This Goodra isn't just any Dragon—it boasts a Water Tera Type, making it a uniquely challenging opponent. Team up with friends, because taking down this mighty Pokémon won't be easy. But don't worry, the rewards are worth it! From Exp. Candies to treasures and stat-boosting items, you'll walk away with more than just bragging rights.
But here's where it gets controversial: During the second half of the event, Blissey will be crashing the party in 5-star Tera Raid Battles, appearing more frequently than usual. These Blissey come with various Tera Types, so strategy is key. Is Blissey's increased appearance a welcome surprise or an unwelcome distraction from the main event? Let us know in the comments!
