The news section of the official Pokemon Scarlet and Violet website is a great source that can help you keep track of these special events. For example, players can battle against a 7-Star Charizard on Dec. 1-4 and Dec. 15-18. These particular Pokemon will also be branded with the “Mightiest Mark,” which is a title that is given to 7-Star bosses:

It’s also recommended to unlock 6-Star Tera Raids since this is one of the requirements for special events. That said, you must complete all the storylines, such as Victory Road, Starfall Street, and Path of Legends to access these fights. However, there is one way to bypass this requirement if you join another trainer’s Tera Raid Battle online.

Once a special event begins, you’ll have the option to play solo or with a team. But, those who want to do the second method must have a Nintendo Switch Online membership to use the Poke Portal.
