How to Identify a 5 Star TERA Raid

To identify a 5-star TERA raid, you need to interact with the glittering crystal found throughout Paldea, which will display a silhouette of the Pokemon you’ll encounter, its Tera Type, and the star rating of the battle, but unfortunately, 5-star raids are not shown differently from 4-star or 3-star raids on the map. The levels of Pokemon in Tera Raids are determined by the star rating, with 5-star raids featuring level 75 Pokemon.

In order to unlock 5-star Tera Raid battles, you must beat the main story and reach the endgame credits, which involves beating all three storylines: Victory Road, Starfall Street, and Path of Legends. After finishing all three storylines, Professor Jacq will contact you about the 5 Star Raids.
