Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are now available for Nintendo Switch. Read on below to learn more about one of the latest in-game events:
Prepare to Face a Mighty Blaziken!
Blaziken will be appearing at black Tera Raid crystals from Friday, January 12, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 14, 2024, at 23:59 UTC, then again from Friday, January 19, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 23:59 UTC.
Blaziken cannot normally be encountered in Paldea, and the Blaziken appearing during this event has Flying as its Tera Type. Be prepared—this Pokémon is a formidable foe, and it’s got the Mightiest Mark to prove it! Work together with your friends to topple this powerful Tera Pokémon!
During the later half of this event—from Friday, January 19, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 23:59 UTC—Blissey will be appearing more frequently in 5-star Tera Raid Battles. These Blissey will have various Tera Types, so prepare wisely before challenging them! Defeating Blissey will yield some delightful rewards, such as various Tera Shards and bonus Exp. Candies.
This special Blaziken can be caught only once per save data. If you caught this Blaziken previously during a Tera Raid Battle event, you cannot catch it again. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Blaziken to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.
This Blaziken may be featured in future events or become obtainable through other methods.
