Introduction
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, developed by Game Freak and released for Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022, continue to support large-scale online raid content through Tera Raids.
This weekend features a 7-Star Tera Raid starring a Grass-Terastalized Meowscarada carrying the Mightiest Mark.
This raid is notable for high-value rewards, including Vitamins, Rare Candies, Ability Patches and the rare Herba Mystica, making consistent clears particularly valuable for competitive and completionist players.
How to Unlock 7-Star Raids
Participation in 7-Star Tera Raids requires substantial game progress.
Trainers must have completed the main story and seen the end credits, finished all Gym Rematches and the Academy Ace Tournament, and completed at least ten raids rated four stars or higher.
Once those conditions are met, 7-Star raids appear both in the overworld and on the Tera Raid board.
Meowscarada Mechanics and Behavior
The raid Meowscarada appears as a Grass Tera-Type, which amplifies Grass and Dark attacks.
It carries the Protean ability, which in this raid has no meaningful impact on the encounter.
As a Grass Tera-Type, Meowscarada is vulnerable to Fire, Flying, Bug, Poison and Ice moves.
Key moves and scripted behaviors reported by community analysts include Flower Trick (a Grass attack that always lands a critical hit), Night Slash (a Dark attack with elevated critical-hit chance), Acrobatics, Play Rough, Hone Claws and Petal Blizzard.
The raid follows a predictable phase script: an opening Hone Claws, a mid-fight reset of player stat changes and status effects at roughly 85% remaining time, a Tera Shield setup and Petal Blizzard around 75% time or 75% HP, activation of Grassy Terrain at 50% time, and repeated self-resets of negative stat changes.
Cheer commands can materially affect the run.
Trainers should use the in-raid cheers strategically: Go For It to boost attacking stats, Hang Tough to improve defenses, and Heal Up to restore HP and remove status conditions.
Recommended Counters and Strategy
Community-tested counters for the encounter include Fire-typed Terastallizers such as Armarouge (recommended Tera: Fire), Ceruledge (recommended Tera: Fire), and Skeledirge.
Heracross is also an effective solo or duo option when built to pressure Meowscarada with Bug and Fighting coverage and to shut down status setups with Taunt.
General recommendations: use level 100 Pokémon, maximize key stats with Vitamins, avoid Pokémon weak to Grass/Dark/Flying/Fairy moves, and equip Shell Bell or similar sustain items where applicable.
Tactical notes for popular picks: begin encounters by removing Hone Claws with Clear Smog or Taunt, stack offensive boosts or Swords Dance, then Terastallize into Fire to exploit Meowscarada's Tera weakness.
When Meowscarada clears stats, use Protect, Slack Off or reposition to preserve charged Tera Orbs and maintain pressure.
Conclusion
This 7-Star Meowscarada Tera Raid on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet offers high-value rewards and a manageable, scripted boss pattern for prepared teams.
Trainers who meet the unlock requirements and bring Fire-terastallized attackers with adequate sustain and support should consistently clear the encounter and farm Herba Mystica and other rare items.
