Do You Get Rewards for Losing Tera Raids?
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Tera Raids have become a popular feature among players, offering a unique way to catch rare Pokémon and earn rewards. But what happens if you lose a Tera Raid battle? Do you still receive rewards, or is it a complete loss? In this article, we’ll dive into the details and answer this question.
Rewards for Losing Tera Raids
Yes, you do get rewards for losing Tera Raids. Despite not emerging victorious, you’ll still receive some rewards for participating in a Tera Raid battle. The rewards you earn will depend on the level of the Tera Raid you’re participating in.
| Tera Raid Level | Rewards for Losing |
|---|---|
| 3-Star | Herba Mystica, Tera Shards, and EXP Points |
| 5-Star | Herba Mystica, Tera Shards, EXP Points, and Rare Items |
| 6-Star | Herba Mystica, Tera Shards, EXP Points, Rare Items, and Guaranteed IVs |
As you can see, the rewards for losing a Tera Raid battle increase with the level of the raid. Even if you don’t win, you’ll still earn some valuable rewards to help you progress in the game.
How to Get More Rewards
Farm Herba Mystica: Herba Mystica is a rare item that can be earned by completing Tera Raids, including those you lose. Farm as many Herba Mystica as you can to increase your chances of catching rare Pokémon and earning high-IV Pokémon.
Participate in Higher-Level Tera Raids: As mentioned earlier, the rewards for losing Tera Raids increase with the level of the raid. Participate in higher-level Tera Raids to earn more rewards and increase your chances of catching rare Pokémon.
Host and Complete 5-Star Tera Raids: Hosting and completing 5-Star Tera Raids is another way to earn more rewards. This will also give you a chance to earn Guaranteed IVs on your Pokémon.
How to Use One-Hit KO Moves
One-Hit KO moves will always fail against Dynamax Pokémon and Tera Raid bosses. However, if you’re facing a Pokémon with a low amount of HP, using a One-Hit KO move can be effective. Just keep in mind that it won’t work against Dynamax Pokémon or Tera Raid bosses.
Targeting Allies
Players are allowed to target a teammate with their moves, but moves that target all adjacent Pokémon (such as Earthquake) will only hit the raid boss. If the raid boss uses such a move, it will only hit the Pokémon whose lane it was used in, and will not receive a multiple-target damage penalty.
Conclusion
In conclusion, you do get rewards for losing Tera Raids. While losing a Tera Raid battle may be disappointing, you’ll still earn some valuable rewards to help you progress in the game. Farm Herba Mystica, participate in higher-level Tera Raids, and host and complete 5-Star Tera Raids to increase your chances of earning more rewards and catching rare Pokémon.
