Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers will soon have another seven-star Tera Raid challenge to prepare for, as Goodra the Unrivaled will appear in Tera Raid lairs in the latter half of November. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players will have a limited amount of time to battle and catch Goodra the Unrivaled, though the Dragon Pokémon will have some tricks for trainers to keep in mind.
First appeared in Pokemon X and YGoodra is the pseudo-legendary monster of the Kalos region. Goodra is usually a dragon-type animal that evolves from Sliggoo when it levels up in rainy weather. IN Pokemon Legends: Arceusboth Sligoo and Goodra received Hisuian regional variants and received the Steel type as a secondary typescript. Goodra is considered a mixed attacker with exceptionally high special defense, with moves like Dragon Pulse, Surf, Poison Tail, and Earthquake at her disposal. Goodra can also use abilities like Sap Sipper and Gooey, forcing opponents to adjust on the fly.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Goodra Tera Raid Details (Late November 2025)
Days after the end of the Hydreigon Tera Raid period, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers soon have another draconian enemy to face. According to Serebii.net, Goodra the Unrivaled will appear in the Seven-Star Tera Raid dens starting Thursday, November 20 at 7:00 PM Eastern and ending on Sunday, November 23 at 6:59 PM Eastern. Pokémon coaches who miss the first round will have a second chance the following weekend, from November 27 to 30. Goodra the Unrivaled will have the Water type as its Tera type and will give trainers the most powerful mark to defeat it in battle. Goodra's high special defense will come into play, but it will be counterbalanced by lower physical defense. However, Goodra the Unrivaled will have some moves and abilities that can combat its weakness to grass and electric attacks.
Goodra the Unrivaled can have one of three potential abilities, each presenting their own challenges. Hydration can heal Goodra if Rain Dance is active, and its hidden ability, Gooey, can slow down attackers that make physical contact. However, Goodra's most likely ability is Sap Sipper, which makes it immune to grass-type attacks and increases its attack stat instead of taking damage. Ergo, moves that remove abilities, like Gastro Acid and Skill Swap, are highly recommended for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainer to use during battle.
Once Goodra's abilities are neutralized, strong Pokémon like Iron Hands or Serperior can deal heavy damage against the draconian Tera Raid boss. It remains to be seen which strategies Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players will use against Goodra the Unrivaled.
