Latest Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Battle Event Announced

Garchomp and Sylveon are up next

by Liam Doolan Wed 15th Feb 2023

The Pokémon Company doesn't appear to be slowing down on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid Battle Events any time soon. The latest one announced will include a Garchomp and Sylveon, available in both versions.

This Tera Raid Battle will begin later this week on 17th February and will last until 19th February. Expect 4 star and 5 star raids and multiple Tera Types.

This latest Tera Raid Battle Event follows on from a Tandemaus Tera Raid Battle for Valentine's Day. Greninja was also offered earlier this week, along with Armarough and Ceruledge at the beginning of this month.

Didn’t they just have one the other day lol. Does anyone else wish they would bring back mega evolutions? Maybe they were hated but I loved them so much.

@Snatcher Mega Evolutions and regional variants are the only 2 things I liked.

Z moves, gigantamaxing and the current gimmick I forgot the name of... I never saw their appeal, only many reasons to avoid them as much as possible in my gameplays.

All these limited time endgame-tier events really don't mesh well with my preference of playing these games slowly over like six months.

@Rayquaza2510 Z moves were so bland, but they were ok at least, Out of the three you mentioned I enjoyed Gigantimax much more, as it is the closest I was getting to mega evos.

And then there’s, whatever this thing is, it looks so stupid lmao.

Mega evolutions should have stayed, and been a more permanent mark I The series, and regional Pokémon are just, chief kiss.

Sylveon is the one Eeveelution I skipped in Scarlet and Violet but I guess I'll make use of this. Hopefully I'll encounter a Shiny Sylveon even though I have a Shiny Sylveon in Sword and Shield already.

@Snatcher Kinda but they were massively OP and made the game even easier to me. The computer using them in the Battle Royal in Sun and Moon anx Ultra Sun/Moon was a pain too.

@RubyCarbuncle That was their only downside, I agree they were really busted, but why not just balance them? They had more then enough games to do so, they even got content updates now.

I really wish they do something special with these Raids like give them higher shiny chances or increase drop rates of certain items related to the Raid.

Off topic but I could do with a union circle buddy to snag Palafin and complete the pokedex. Stupid gimicky evolutions.

@DynamoDouglas
Palafin and some other Pokémon with tricky evolution methods like Gengar, Pawmot, Rabsca, Armarouge, Ceruledge, Annihilape, and Kingambit can be caught in tera raid battles. Version exclusivity still applies though, so you still need to trade to complete the Pokédex, but generally you aren't required to trade to evolve Pokémon as heavily as previous games.

@Anachronism Yeah, I like to go slow through them too and I was really annoyed to have to rush through to access these. I missed a LOT of the extras in the game in the process.

@hypercoyote @Anachronism I rushed the game so I could get Charizard on the second weekend it was available. Ho boy, let me tell you, it wasn't fun.
This game would have been much more enjoyable if I could have played it at my own pace without an exclusive timed event

@Bobb @hypercoyote I was tempted to do the same, but the number of mythics I've missed over the years has effectively killed my Pokemon FOMO. I consider my collection complete once I've gotten everything available in the base game.

@Anachronism nothing good comes from FOMO. I'm glad to hear you're doing well 💪👑
