You must beat the main story to unlock five-star raids.

How To Beat Mismagius

Mismagius has a very simple kit focused on special attacks and dropping your stats. It is level 75 and comes with Astonish, Icy Wind, Mystical Fire, Psychic, and Scary Face. It has the ability Levitate and can have any nature.

You can solo this with pretty much any level 100, fully-evolved, Ghost or Dark type, butthe most efficient method is a Defiant Annihilape with Rage Fist.

Defiant

Screech, Rage Fist

Use Screech once to lower Mismagius’s stats, then keep using Rage Fist.

Mismagius will keep dropping your speed with Icy Wind and Scary Face, and your Special Attack with Mystical Fire. This will trigger Defiantand boost your Annihilape’s Attack stat.

After you’ve gotten Mismagius’s Defense as low as possible, your Attack will likely be boosted thanks to Defiant, so you can domassive amounts of damage with a single hit.

You don’t even need to Terastalize your Annihilapeto boost Rage Fist, not that it will hurt you as Astonish won’t do much even if it’s super effective.

If you do find yourself taking more damage than you’d like, give Annihilape a shell bell.

What Are The Rewards For Defeating Mismagius?

Once you’ve defeated Mismagius, you will receive at least ten Tera Ghost shards and thena random number of EXP Candies S-XL and Rare Candies.

You can use this to quickly train up any new Pokemon that were added in the DLC to bring them up to par with your playthrough team or train a Pokemon for a Black Tera Raid.

Furthermore, if you have the Glimmering Charm, this makes grinding for Ghost Shards easier giventhe plethora of densavailable.

This is the perfect chance to stock up on candies to ensure you’re set for the next challenge The Pokemon Company sends players’ way.
