It was confirmed in June how the Undertale and Deltarune creator Toby Fox would be returning to the Pokémon series as a composer in Scarlet and Violet.
While we've already heard some of his music in the game, as suspected - it seems more of it was featured in the most recent Pokémon presents. Toby confirmed in a new series of tweets that he composed the music for the Terastal Raid battles in the game.
What's perhaps most interesting though is the story behind this. When the game's director gave Fox his "assignment", he showed him a picture of Lucario with a giant oversized flower as a starting point, and told the Undertale creator this was the "new game mechanic" (the Terastal Phenomenon).
From there, Toby was left to create a song out of it. Here's his own interpretation of everything using one of his trademark illustrations:

As you might recall, Toby Fox previously composed music for Game Freak's RPG Little Town Hero and also provided the Battle Tower theme for Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Hearing more news of Toby Fox composing official Pokémon music fills you with determination!
"As you might recall, Toby Fox previously composed music for Game Freak's RPG Little Town Hero and also provided the Battle Tower theme for Pokémon Sword and Shield."
His song MEGALOVANIA also has been featured on Dance Dance Revolution A3.
@Anti-Matter Megalovania has also been featured in games like Taiko no Tatsujin. Great song!
I'll draw a stick man with a large lego block on its head and ask someone to make music ouf of it 🤣
Seriously though what a hilarious way to ask someone to make music.
I’m a sucker for Toby fox, so I’m More then thrilled to know he composed the raid battle music!
And you can hear it and it sounds so good! He has come so far!
I've still never played Undertale, but I honestly really respect the guy for not only managing a one in a million indie success, but somehow translating that into beating Sakurai in Smash Bros. and becoming one of Game Freak's go-to composers.
I am absolutely obsessed with this man
Somehow that seems like a very appropriate way for someone known for chaos and mayhem like Toby Fox to receive a music prompt.
@PBandSmelly My goodness so am I. Undertakes score. And even stuff waaaay before. i just love his style so much!
Battle Tower is one of my favourite songs from Sword + Shield (don’t even get me started on Undertale), so I’m very happy to hear this!
Even after watching that 2:50 video (again), I still don't know if I actually heard Toby's Terastal Raid Battle Music (it sounds more like a trailer or title song). Where can I listen to this?
One day I will actually play Undertale and see what all the fuss is about.
Maybe.
@JasmineDragon It’s definitely not the best game ever as many claim it to be, but it’s still a very fun and charming game worth giving a chance. Toby Fox’s excellent OST elevates the experience greatly.
@NielsNL Here you go:

What a banger! haha
Thanks @FoxyDude
Sounds nothing like a Pokemon battle theme, but at least it sounds enjoyable and doesn't make me want to turn the sound off like the one he did for SwSh.
Once again, Toby does another banging composition for Pokémon... Hopefully it's not based on a certain song about Homestuck again 😰
Well, there goes me playing with the sound on. At least it's better than the last one.
