![]() ![]() ![]() If you’re entering the raid alone, you’ll get assigned three other NPCs to battle with. Tera Raid battles set up four trainers against one powerful Terastal Pokémon.

You can also join Tera Raid Battles through the Poké Portal, accessible through the game’s main menu when you hit the X button. (They’re nearly impossible by yourself - unless you’re rocking maxed-out levels - due to the bad NPCs. The Tera Raid Battles you’ll find in Paldea range from one to five stars, with five-star raids being the hardest. To kick off these battles, you just collide with the crystals. An easy way to get to these is to fly to the nearest PokéStop and cruise over from there. In the map above, for instance, there are three Tera Raid battles marked, respectively, in yellow, green, and blue. ![]() Image: Game Freak/The Pokémon Company, Nintendo These are marked on the Paldean map with a little star denoting the Pokémon’s Tera Type. In the Paldean world, these are signified by big, glowing crystals that have a huge glowing tower you can see from a while away. You’ll find Pokémon with Tera Types that don’t match their actual type through Tera Raid Battles. These seem to be set encounters around the world, and you’ll definitely see them. You’ll also see Pokémon in the Paldean overworld who sparkle and glow these are basically just harder wild Pokémon fights - you’ll have to knock down these Pokémon to remove the effect before catching them. Image: Game Freak/The Pokémon Company, Nintendo What are all the Tera Types?Īll Pokémon have a Tera Type, which means you can find Pokémon that Terastallize anywhere. In total, there are 18 different Tera Types any Pokémon can have, which makes for a huge number of potential combinations. That’s because a Pokémon’s Tera Type doesn’t have to match it’s actual type - meaning that a fire-type Pokémon can have a water Tera Type, changing up its type strengths and weaknesses when the mechanic is used. It’s a way to switch up how battles work in certain scenarios, and it’s one of the more interesting parts of battles in Scarlet and Violet. For Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, it’s Terastallizing, the equivalent of Pokémon Sword and Shield’s Dynamax and Gigantamax features. I like to think that Aurorus is Lapras’ ancestor, because they can breed, and Lapras can get Ancient Power and Freeze Dry as egg moves.Every new Pokémon game seems to introduce some new battle mechanic. It can learn a lot of useful TM though, like Dark Pulse, Thunderbolt (so it can hit ALL the Flying types with its Ice, Rock and Electric moves), Psychic, Flash Cannon etc. Unfortunately it has higher Sp Attack than Attack, but the highest powered Rock special move it can learn is Ancient Power with only base 60 (not that Rock has many good special moves, but I think Aurorus should at least get Power Gem, it has those ice gems on its body). So all the Water/Flying, Water/Ground, Water/Dragon, Water/Grass types that Ice are usually neutral against are now 4x super effective. Its signature move Freeze Dry is awesome, base 70 Ice type move that’s super effective against Water types. But offensively, Rock and Ice are good types, especially with Freeze Dry, it can hit a lot of things super effectively. ![]() Rock/Ice has 6 weaknesses, 2 of which are 4x weaknesses. Its typing of Rock/Ice is unique to its family, though it’s a terrible type combination Ice and Rock are two of the worse defensive types, and together it’s not much better Rock only covers Ice’s weakness to Fire. When your hand goes over its ice gems, it gets frozen, and Aurorus looks confused. I like how when it gets happy in Pokemon Amie, its fins turn green and shiny. My Aurorus (named Auron, it’s male) is the first Pokemon I leveled up to 5 hearts. Aurorus was pretty useful in the main game, especially because I was overleveled so its many weaknesses didn’t matter too much. I picked the Sail fossil because Amaura is cute, despite the terrible Rock/Ice typing. The diamond-shaped crystals on its body expel air as cold as -240 degrees Fahrenheit, surrounding its enemies and encasing them in ice.Īurorus became my fave gen 6 Pokemon. Today is my birthday, so I’m putting up my favourite gen 6 Pokemon, Aurorus ![]()
