Seven-Star Tera Raids are returning to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet after a four-month hiatus, as trainers will soon have the chance to face Hydreigon the Unrivaled. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players will have just a few days to battle Hydreigon the Unrivaled in Tera Raid dens scattered throughout Paldea.
Known as the Brutal Pokemon, Hydreigon first appeared in Pokemon Black and White as the pseudo-legendary monster of the Unova region. Hydreigon evolves from Deino and Zweilous, and is usually considered a Dark and Dragon dual-type creature. With three heads and access to various elemental attacks, Hydreigon is notable for its versatility in competitive Pokemon battles. While Fairy-type Pokemon like Sylveon and Tinkaton usually have an advantage against Hydreigon, that will not be the case in the upcoming Seven-Star Tera Raid battle.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Hydreigon Tera Raid Details (November 2025)
Soon, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will have a new Seven-Star Tera Raid battle for the first time since July, when Kommo-o the Unrivaled appeared in Tera Raid dens. According to Serebii.net, Hydreigon the Unrivaled will appear in Seven-Star Tera Raid dens starting Thursday, November 6, at 7:00 PM Eastern, and ending Sunday, November 9, at 6:59 PM Eastern. Pokemon trainers who miss the first round will have another chance the following weekend, from November 13 to 16 at the same start and end times. Hydreigon will have the Poison-type as its Tera type, and will grant the Mightiest Mark to any Pokemon that defeats it. Statistically, Hydreigon is a mixed attacker with slightly higher special attack power and average defenses. While Poison Pokemon are usually weak to Ground-type attacks, Hydreigon’s ability, Levitate, makes it immune to moves like Earthquake.
However, Levitate can be effectively neutralized by moves like Smack Down and Skill Swap, but that is only part of what Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers can do against Hydreigon the Unrivaled. Though Hydreigon the Unrivaled will have a newfound weakness towards Psychic Pokemon attacks, it can counter them via Dark-type attacks like Crunch and Dark Pulse. Hydreigon the Unrivaled can also access moves like Flamethrower, Earthquake, Surf, and Dragon Pulse to cover as many potential bases as possible. Ergo, given the versatility that Hydreigon has, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers must wait for the Seven-Star Tera Raid battle to go live before forming any teams that can counter the Brutal Pokemon.
Although Pokemon Legends: Z-A has taken over trainers’ attention, that has not stopped The Pokemon Company from supporting Pokemon Scarlet and Violet with new content. It remains to be seen what strategies trainers will create to take down Hydreigon the Unrivaled.
