Pokemon Scarlet Violet summer Tera Raid Battle events

We only typically hear about new Tera Raid Battle events for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet one at a time, but a smattering of them were just announced.

New activities are planned starting at the end of this upcoming week. Pikachu, Dondozo, Gimmighoul, and Dragonite will be featured.

Here’s the full rundown:

The 7 Star Sceptile Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is live now, and we have a guide for it ready to go. For this event, Sceptile is running Tera Dragon, which means it’s only weak to Dragon, Ice, and Fairy-type moves. The first wave of the event lasts until June 30, but it comes back for a second wave from July 5 to July 7. We’ve come up with a few counters you can bring to the battle here!
