The Pokémon Company has announced that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's next 7-Star Tera Raid Battle will kick off this weekend from 12th-14th January before repeating on 19th-21st (thanks, Serebii.net).
The upcoming event will put yet another fully evolved starter in the spotlight, with Blaziken taking the starring role. This 'mon will come as a Flying Tera Type and will be holding the Mightiest Mark. As ever, you will only be able to catch this battle bird once per save file.
As highlighted by Serebii, this weekend will also see the return of Blissey to 5-Star Tera Raid Battles with Candy and Tera Shards up as rewards.
Will you be taking part in this weekend's event? Let us know in the comments.

Oh Arceus, they are back!
And there's a bullet in the, "They're only doing each Tera Type once and Pikachu, Eevee, and Iron Bundle don't count because reasons," talking point.
A flying chicken 😨
Not interested. I can catch Torchic in the DLC now as well as change its ability to speed boost with Ability Patches which I've earned in 6 Star Raids I managed to solo with Contrary Serperior. I don't really find the Rewards for these event Raids to be worthwhile either considering the difficulty if I was being totally honest.
Glad people are still enjoying these games. I finished the dex(which I've never done before)and sold them afterwards. DLC didn't appeal to me. I'm hoping for another Arceus type game.
These raids aren't as exciting since the DLC allows you to get all of the starter Pokémon, but they still make for a nice challenge, and it's satisfying having them with that special mark.
Plus, getting them via these raids means they have perfect stats, which is helpful if you're looking to breed for a shiny with some good base stats.
@FoxyDude but its a special Blaziken you get for free
@XandertheWise I know, I've been doing every one of these raids as they've come along.
However as a counter-point, even without the DLC, it's still possible to get a Blaziken or Torchic via Pokémon HOME, or by trading with another player that has one.
@JimNorman Also I just now noticed the sub-title for this article: "hotting up"?
These raid pokemon come with special Marks that your wild caught or hatched pokemon cannot get
