Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Capture a Powerful Pokemon, Hurry!

New Weekend Event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Battle Rare Tera Raids for Powerful Creatures

A new weekend has arrived in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, bringing an opportunity for players to strengthen their teams with ultra-rare and powerful Pokémon. This time, two formidable creatures are featured in special Tera Raid battles.

Ekaiser Raid Returns in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Battle Leuphorie Too!

A new raid session is now underway in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. As previously announced, Ekaiser the Mighty returns to action from Friday, July 18th, through Sunday, July 20th. Players can challenge this Combat-type Pokémon in 7-star Tera Raids. Note that if Ekaiser the Mighty has already been caught in a previous event, players will not be able to catch it again. However, participation is still possible to assist other players and earn rewards. In addition to Ekaiser, Leuphorie will appear more frequently in 5-star Tera Raids during the same period. Leuphorie is notable for its ability to change types, making each battle a unique challenge. Defeating Leuphorie can help players level up their Pokémon and add a versatile member to their team. These victories also yield valuable rewards, including Terashards and Exp. Candies, which can now be earned weekly. These items are highly sought-after by Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players.

To participate in these Tera Raids, including Ekaiser the Mighty and Leuphorie’s appearances from July 18th to 20th, a Nintendo Switch Online subscription and an internet connection are required. Update your game and access the raids by following these steps: 1. Launch Pokémon Scarlet or Violet. 2. From the main menu, open the Poké Portal. 3. Select “Mystery Gift.” 4. Choose “Receive Poké Portal News.” Once updated, the special Tera Raids will appear on your map. Challenge these powerful Pokémon before the event concludes on July 20th.
