Face a Mighty Metagross!

Metagross is appearing in black crystal Tera Raid Battles! You can try catching Metagross from Friday, May 9, 2025, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 23:59 UTC, then again from Friday, May 16, 2025, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 23:59 UTC.

The Metagross appearing during this event has Steel as its Tera Type. Be prepared—this Pokémon is a formidable foe, and it’s got the Mightiest Mark to prove it! Work together with your friends to topple this powerful Tera Pokémon!

~This special Metagross can be caught only once per save data. If you caught this Metagross previously during a Tera Raid Battle event, you cannot catch it again. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Metagross to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.~

~This Metagross may be featured in future events or become obtainable through other methods.~

Sorry this is late! I spaced about the event.

I tried soloing this earlier, here's what I found out:

Turn 0:

  • Shield initialized (!)
  • Hone claws

Moveset pool:

  • Iron Defense
  • Earthquake
  • Zen Headbutt
  • Light Screen
  • Hone Claws

I got over halfway to victory with my volcarona and flame dance b4 I got blasted out of the cavern.

Edit: I succeeded in soloing. Used a Skeledirge with max PP for torch song, + Shell Bell, and fire tera.
