After being mistakenly revealed in a sponsored video last week, the star of the next Pokémon Scarlet and Violet seven-star Tera Raid Battle event has now been officially revealed.
Shared to Twitter by @SerebiiNet, we now know that it will be Hisuian Decidueye taking the spotlight in this one with the event kicking off later this week from 6th-8th October before repeating on 13th-15th October. The regional 'mon will be a Grass Tera Type with the Mightiest Mark and, as always, you will only be able to catch it once per save file — so make the most while it's around.
This Hisuian form first appeared in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, taking on the dual type of Grass and Fighting. Given the Tera Type of the upcoming battle event, be prepared to counter some powerful Grass attacks when you face off.
Will you be taking part in this one? Let us know in the comments.

Lame that it’s Grass Tera. Should be Ghost or Flying.
I might skip this, I'm getting bored of just booting up Pokémon Violet to just participate in a routine tera raid and then not play the game until the next such time.
That's the launch date for Detective Pikachu Returns, I'd rather be playing that.
@Mauzuri Why should the raids be dumbed down for everyone else because some people can't solo them? They are already easy. You can solo almost everything.
I guess I know what I'll be doing this upcoming weekend. Although, I kinda agree with Rupeeclock though.
@Mauzuri
Most of the 7 star tera raids have been achievable solo by looking up a strategy, I usually check game8's strategies.
Mewtwo was the exception to this, you really did need to claim that Mew to use in the battle, and you really did need a co-ordinated group of players.
In retrospect, I've gone sour on tera raids myself.
Aside from being a bunch of technical hitches and messes, most of them are too formulaic in winning strategies for solo play, or otherwise in group play too stringent that all players are competent and don't bring in something that ruins the whole attempt. These are both antithetical to group play especially when you aren't able to communicate with your team like in random online raids.
As someone who has done almost all of the harder raid battles, I agree that they feel stale, and part of that is the high difficulty. Most of them have practically required a specific pokemon / moveset due to their difficulty, and a lot of the strategies involve skipping phases because of how hard they'll start hitting after several stat-boosting moves. They're basically un-doable with random players, and so the raids were straight up easier to run solo unless you had a premade group.
At this point I'm sometimes interested in getting the pokemon from the raid but don't enjoy the raids themselves that much. The difficulty feels like it's artificial and forcing you into using a specific combination, rather than allowing for more freedom or experimentation.
