Pokemon Scarlet and Violet “Prepare the Offense” Tera Raid Event
According to Serebii.net, the Hydreigon and Scizor Tera raids will have an increased chance to drop Vitamins and TMs. Likewise, the Blissey Tera raids will drop more Tera Shards and EXP Candies forPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers to use as they see fit. Given the fact that thefree Mew from the aforementioned Mystery Giftdistribution event will receive a boost when facing Mewtwo the Unrivaled, some of the rewards can be used to boost Mew to Level 100 and adjust its effort values (EVs) and Tera type for the battle to come. Though Mewtwo the Unrivaled will be a Psychic-type boss, it remains to be seen what moves it will use in battle.
With The Teal Mask DLC on the horizon inPokemon Scarlet and Violet, theMew and Mewtwo event may set the tone for futurePokemonevents. Only time will tell what The Pokemon Company will do beyond that.
