This weekend, players of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on the Nintendo Switch are teaming up to tackle one of the game’s most challenging events: a 7-Star Tera Raid featuring a Psychic Tera Type Meganium with the Mightiest Mark.
This special event presents a rare opportunity to catch Meganium—a Pokémon usually only obtainable through Pokémon HOME transfers or trading—and also offers valuable rewards like Vitamins, Rare Candies, Ability Patches, and, most notably, Herba Mystica.
Successfully completing this raid consistently can significantly improve a player's in-game resources. How to Access 7-Star Raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet To participate in high-level 7-Star Tera Raids, players must progress through the main story of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, complete all Gym Rematches, finish the Academy Ace Tournament, and complete at least ten 4-Star or higher raids.
After meeting these requirements, 7-Star Raids will begin appearing both in the overworld and on the Tera Raid board, unlocking some of the most challenging content available on the Nintendo Switch platform. Meganium’s Ability and Move Set This Psychic Tera Type Meganium brings a unique set of challenges.
With the Leaf Guard ability—preventing status conditions in sunny weather—players are forced to adapt their typical strategies.
Its arsenal includes powerful moves such as Seed Bomb (Grass), Zen Headbutt (Psychic), Body Press (Fighting), Curse (Stat Modifier), Reflect and Light Screen (damage reduction), as well as Bulldoze (Ground), targeting various weaknesses and keeping teams on their toes. Knowing Meganium’s behavior is essential for planning your approach: • At the start, Meganium frequently sets up Reflect and Light Screen to reduce incoming damage. • When its HP falls to 85% or less, or after certain time intervals, it erects a Tera Shield to become more resilient. • The boss will reset players’ stats, disable abilities momentarily, and periodically clear its own debuffs and status conditions. • At 30% HP, it resorts to Bulldoze for a final push against players. Best Pokémon Counters and Strategies Skeledirge: With a Fire/Ghost typing, Skeledirge resists most of Meganium’s attacks.
Its Unaware ability allows it to bypass Meganium’s stat boosts.
An optimized Skeledirge should have a Modest Nature and maximized Special Attack and Defense.
Key moves include Torch Song to boost Special Attack, Shadow Ball for sustained Ghost-type damage, Slack Off for healing, and Protect to avoid crucial hits.
The Shell Bell item is highly recommended for passive healing during the raid. Sinistcha: The Grass/Ghost Sinistcha offers strong resistance and support capabilities.
Its Hospitality ability provides a team heal, while moves like Matcha Gotcha (which can burn Meganium and self-heal) and Hex (for high Ghost-type damage) make it versatile.
Focus on boosting Special Attack and Defense, equipping Big Root to further enhance healing, and utilizing Nasty Plot for quick setup. Malamar: As a Psychic/Dark type, Malamar stands out for its Contrary ability and Skill Swap tactic.
By swapping abilities with Meganium, players can cripple the boss’s Curse strategy.
With Night Slash and Reflect, alongside a Metronome for increasing move power, Malamar provides a unique angle to diminish Meganium’s effectiveness. General Tips for Raid Success • Avoid Pokémon that are weak to Grass, Psychic, Fighting, or Ground moves to reduce fainting and time loss. • Use level 100 Pokémon for maximum stats and survivability. • Apply Vitamins prior to the raid to maximize crucial stats. • Employ cheers such as "Go For It!" (to boost attack), "Hang Tough!" (for defense), and "Heal Up!" (to restore HP and cure status) at key moments. • Stay aware of Meganium’s attack patterns and adjust your strategy accordingly. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has consistently set new sales records for Nintendo and Game Freak since its November 2022 release, cementing its place among top-selling titles on the eShop for Nintendo Switch.
Regular events like the 7-Star Meganium Tera Raid not only keep the player base engaged, but also showcase the game's depth, challenging players to innovate and collaborate. Share your raid experiences or strategies with the Pokémon community and help others claim victory against this mighty Meganium.
