You can only unlock 7 Star Tera Raids after you unlock 6 Star Tera Raids. You can unlock 6 Star raids by going through the Academy Ace Tournament once, and you also have to defeat 15 5-star Tera Raids. After you unlock 7 Star Tera Raids, you have to access the Poke Portal and download the latest update.
You need an active internet connection for this, and you can connect to the internet by pressing L after opening the in-game menu. After that, head to the Poke Portal and press + to head over to the news section. This will download all the latest updates, including the 7-star Cinderace Tera Raid. Now all that is left is to check the map for Black Crystals to spawn. These crystals will only spawn once per day till the last date of the event.
If you have not met all the requirements above, you can still join the raid by hopping on to someone else’s raid. You will still need an active connection and a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to update the game and connect with other players. If you get a link code from someone, you can automatically join the raid, regardless of your story progression in the game.
