Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Metagross 7 Star Raid Guide

The latest 7-star raid is known as Metagross with Steel tera type. It runs from May 9th, Midnight UTC, until May 11th, 11:59 pm/23:59 UTC. There will be a second run the following week during the same timeframe

Notes:

You can only catch one per savefile, meaning you can not catch more Metagrosses from the raid. Metagross will have perfect IVs in all stats and the mightiest mark, which only 7 star raid mons have. You can not shiny hunt it, as it is coded never to appear shiny.

How to get the raids on your map

1. Go to Poke Portal, then Mystery Gift

2. Click on Poke Portal News, then connect to the Internet

3. After a while, you will get a pop-up saying you are up to date

4. Check your map and look for Tera raids with sparkles around them

Second round info

Blissey Raids return during the second week, which has a lot of candy and Tera shards.

How to defeat Metagross

Here is the setup to defeat Steel Tera Metagross:

Skeledirge @ Shell Bell Ability: Unaware Tera Type: Fire EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk

• Torch Song (Evo + PP Up'd)

• Protect (TM007)

• Will-O-Wisp (Level up/Remember)

• Sunny Day (TM049)

Need to have Arboliva to lower EQ's damage when the shield is up. If you got Drifblim as an NPC, then there is no need for you to do Will-O-Wisp.

Turn 1: Protect. Turn 2: Sunny Day. Turn 3 until your stats are removed: Torch Song. Tera when you can. After that, do another Protect. If it has removed its negative stats, use Will-O-Wisp. If not, use another Torch Song. If Will-O-Wisp misses, restart the raid. Then lastly, spam Torch Song.
