What are Tera Raid Battles?
Tera Raid battles are new to Scarlet & Violet. These battles will allow trainers to challenge super strong wild Pokémon that are powered up by the Terastal phenomenon.
These events will have optional challenges but these will provide you with powerful Pokémon and loot.
Upcoming Tera Raid Battle Events Announced
During the Pokémon Presents livestream, trainers were given a complete timeline of upcoming Tera Raid battles. Here is the complete event schedule:
- Mighty Venusaur - Wednesday, February 28 to Tuesday, March 5
- Mighty Blastoise - Wednesday, March 6 to Tuesday, March 12
- Mighty Charizard - Wednesday, March 13 to Sunday, March 17
You can only catch one of each Mighty Pokémon. If you want to participate in another Tera Raid battle against them, you will not get another Mighty Pokémon and will instead get other rewards.
The Mighty Charizard is a returning monster. It will have the same stats and moves as it did in the previous Mighty Charizard event. If you already have a Mighty Charizard, you can't catch another one during this event.
