You only have a few hours left. Since November 6, 
Mighty Goodra with the Water Tera Type has been back in the 7-Star Tera Raid Battles of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It will disappear on Friday, November 13 at 1:59 a.m. Paris time. Here is how to find it and, above all, how to beat it.
How to take on Mighty Goodra
This Goodra appears in the 7-Star black crystals of Paldea, which unlock once you have completed certain post-game steps. If you have not finished the adventure yet, you can join another player’s raid through the Poké Portal, as long as you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
- Until: Friday, November 13, 2026 at 1:59 a.m. (Paris time)
- Where: 7-Star black crystals in Paldea
- Requirement: download the latest Poké Portal News (automatic if the console is online; otherwise via the Poké Portal, then Mystery Gift)
- Catch: only once per save file, with the Mighty Mark; it cannot be Shiny
- Notable rewards: TM188 Scald and an Ability Patch for the first battle won, as well as Exp. Candies, Zinc and Water Tera Shards
Pitfalls to avoid
In the wild, Goodra is a pure Dragon-type Pokémon. Here, its Water Terastallization changes everything: its weaknesses become those of the Water type, namely Grass and Electric. But be careful: according to community data, this Goodra has the Sap Sipper Ability, which absorbs Grass-type moves. So bet on Electric.
At Level 100 with a Modest nature, it mostly hits with special attacks using Scald, Dragon Pulse, Sludge Bomb and Earthquake, and adds Sludge Wave and Surf as bonus actions. Like all Mighty Pokémon, it puts up a shield during the battle and regularly cancels your team’s stat boosts. So bring Pokémon that can take special hits, and coordinate with your partners.
For the basics, from preparing your team to raid roles, our 7-Star Tera Raid Battle guide walks you through it.
Key takeaways
Mighty Goodra can only be caught once, and only until Friday at 1:59 a.m. If you missed it during its previous appearances, this is your chance to add it to your collection along with its mark. Just remember to download the Poké Portal News before setting out to find it, and to bring Electric-type moves.
