Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are now available for Nintendo Switch. Read on below to learn more about some of the latest in-game events:
Make a splash as part two of a season-long, four-part event series begins in the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games.
Get ready for a second serving of special Tera Raid Battles and mass outbreaks in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet! All season long, you’ll face a variety of challenges such as taking on Tera Pokémon with the Mightiest Mark, encountering Pokémon that don’t normally appear during regular gameplay, and enjoying mass outbreaks where Pokémon that are Shiny or have special marks are more likely to appear.
The latest portion of this four-part event series runs from Thursday, July 25, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Thursday, August 8, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. PDT, during which you’ll find Dondozo in 7-star Tera Raid Battles along with mass outbreaks of Tatsugiri. Thanks to Tatsugiri’s Commander Ability and Dondozo’s Order Up move, these two symbiotic Pokémon can work together to dish out some real damage in Double Battles. Read on for more details about this and future events.
This time around, Dondozo with the Mightiest Mark will be appearing at black Tera Raid crystals. The Dondozo appearing during this event has Water 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!
Whenever you see a sparkling pillar of light shining from a Tera Raid crystal, you can walk up to the crystal and interact with it to start a Tera Raid Battle with a Tera Pokémon. To find the Tera Pokémon featured in this event, you’ll also need to have downloaded the latest Poké Portal News. To do so, follow these steps:
- Select Poké Portal in the X menu.
- Select Mystery Gift.
- Select Check Poké Portal News.
To challenge Water–Tera Type Dondozo with the Mightiest Mark, Trainers will need to either complete the postgame events that follow the main story or join a 7-star Tera Raid Battle hosted by a Trainer who has completed those events. This special Dondozo can be caught only once per save data. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Dondozo if you’ve already caught it to obtain other rewards—including significant amounts of Exp. Candy for leveling up your Pokémon, treasures that can be sold at Pokémon Centers, items for improving your Pokémon’s stats, and Water Tera Shards for changing your Pokémon’s Tera Type.
