Pokemon Go: Tera Type Raid Signs Explained

Pokemon Go is a free-to-play augmented reality mobile game developed and published by Niantic in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. The game was released on July 6, 2016, and quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, with millions of players around the globe.

In Pokemon Go, players use their smartphones to explore the real world and capture virtual Pokemon creatures that appear on their screens. The game uses GPS and augmented reality technology to create a unique gaming experience where players can catch Pokemon, collect items from Pokestops, battle in gyms, and trade with other players.

In the game, Pokemon comes under two different terms of categories. The first term of the category is ‘Type of Pokemon’ (for example, Water-type Pokemon), and the second term of the category is ‘Tera of Pokemon’ (for example, Electric tera-type). This determines the strengths and weaknesses of Pokemon and helps the Pokemon’s trainers/masters to identify their opponent’s Pokemon before the battle.

These types are shown in the chart on the map and with this help, it becomes easy for trainers to identify the qualities of Pokemon.
