Summary
Though twoPokemon Scarlet and VioletTera raid battles are already scheduled throughout the middle of February, trainers will soon have more to do, as Stonjourner, Eiscue, Armarouge, and Ceruledge join the lineup. These upcoming Tera raid battles inPokemon Scarlet and Violetwill make these version-exclusive critters available to players regardless of the game played.
At the time of writing, the current Tera raid battle inPokemon Scarlet and Violetpits trainers against a Seven-Star boss,Empoleon the Unrivaled. Known as the Emperor Pokemon, Empoleon is usually a Water and Steel dual-type powerhouse. But in the ongoing Seven-star Tera Raid battle, Empoleon has the Ice-type as its Tera type, and uses both special attacks and status moves to bolster itself. Since it does not use physical attacks, this means that Pokemon such as Blissey can offer support toPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers looking to capture this tough opponent. The Empoleon Tera raids will conclude on Sunday, February 11, at 6:59 p.m. Eastern.
Following both the Empoleon Tera raid and theValentine’s Day Tera raid battles against Luvdisc,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers will be able to catch Stonjourner, Eiscue, Armarouge, and Ceruledge in both versions. The Tera raid battles against these four Pokemon will start on Thursday, February 15, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern, and conclude on Sunday, February 18, at 6:59 p.m. Stonjourner and Eiscue first appeared inPokemon Sword and Shieldas version-exclusive creatures found in the wild areas. Armarouge and Ceruledge are version-exclusive evolutions of Charcadet that require using either the Auspicious Armor inPokemon Scarletor the Malicious Armor inPokemon Violetto obtain. Stonjourner, Eiscue, Armarouge, and Ceruledge will each have a random Tera type, and they will appear in three-star to five-star Tera raid dens scattered throughout Paldea.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raids (Stonjourner, Eiscue, Armarouge, Ceruledge)
Stonjourner and Armarouge are normally exclusive toPokemon Scarlet, and the same goes for Eiscue and Ceruledge inPokemon Violet. But, these upcoming Tera raid battles will givePokemonplayers the chance tocatch some version-exclusive Pokemonthey normally would not be able to get otherwise. Given the fact that the highest level these particular Pokemon can be fought at is level 75,Pokemon Scarlet and Violettrainers should use a decent level 100 Pokemon that can take advantage of a specific Tera type’s weaknesses. Trainers can find and capture as many of these Tera raid Pokemon as they want, while the event lasts.
Between the Tera raid battles and theongoing Spirits event inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetfans have a busy month of content. It remains to be seen what else The Pokemon Company will continue to do as Pokemon Day approaches.
