How To Join or Invite To Salamence 7-Star Tera Raid Battle
You won’t find Salamence just by wandering around Paldea. Instead, it appears in the Black Crystal Tera Raid. These raids are extremely tough, so it’s best to complete post-game content before trying them.
To locate the raid, look for black Tera Raid icons on your in-game map. If you see one with the Flying symbol, that’s where you’ll find Salamence.
You can also join another trainer’s raid using the Tera Raid Board. Just keep in mind that this option is only available until the Salamence 7-Star Tera Raid Event ends on April 27.
