The 7 Star Blastoise Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is now live, and it’s thankfully a little bit easier than the 7 Star Venusaur earlier this week – assuming you have the right Pokemon, that is.
The new 7 Star Blastoise event lasts until March 12, and it’s got a decently threatening moveset. It uses Shell Smash when a quarter of its health has been taken out, which boosts its offenses and its Speed stat. It also uses Rain Dance halfway through the battle to boost the strength of its Hydro Pump. Blastoise itself is Tera Steel and can use Hydro Pump, Flash Cannon, Aura Sphere, and Iron Defense whenever it wants. We’ve put together a couple of counters you can use to take it down easily.
It’s been a couple of years since we last shared news about Pixelshire, but we have an update today as a physical release is now confirmed. We’ve got a new release window as well.
As of now only a standard edition is planned. Nothing has been announced as far as special editions go.
