Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Launches Blaziken 7-Star Tera Raid Event on Nintendo Switch

The Pokémon Company Delivers New 7-Star Tera Raid Event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Featuring Blaziken Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the latest entries in the mainline Pokémon series for Nintendo Switch, continue to receive substantial post-launch support.

The Pokémon Company has officially launched a new limited-time 7-Star Tera Raid event spotlighting Blaziken, offering players another opportunity to challenge and capture this powerful Pokémon. The new Tera Raid event started today and will run until March 5th at 23:59 UTC, according to official communication from The Pokémon Company and industry resource Serebii.net.

The Tera Raid Battles are accessible exclusively in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on the Nintendo Switch via the in-game event system, making use of the Nintendo eShop’s connectivity features. This event centers around a formidable Blaziken boasting the Flying Tera Type, a distinct twist for fans familiar with the Fire- and Fighting-type Hoenn region Pokémon.

The Raid is classified as 7-Star difficulty, meaning it presents a high-level challenge that will appeal to veteran players seeking endgame content.

Trainers who successfully defeat the raid and capture Blaziken will earn a unique version of the Pokémon marked with the "Mightiest Mark," and this special Blaziken can only be caught once per game save.

However, after securing Blaziken, players can continue to participate in the event to earn various in-game rewards such as Tera Shards, Ability Patches, and other valuable items. Notably, Serebii.net reported, “Blaziken is available as the 7-Star Tera Raid Battle boss through Thursday, March 5th at 23:59 UTC,” reinforcing the narrow window for participation.

This Blaziken’s availability demonstrates The Pokémon Company’s ongoing commitment to keeping Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s player community engaged through fresh, rewarding content.

The limited nature of the event further incentivizes trainers to log in and attempt the challenge before it concludes. Since their release, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have established themselves as commercial hits on the Nintendo Switch, benefiting from regular updates, seasonal events, and strong support from The Pokémon Company.

The introduction of challenging 7-Star Tera Raids, first seen in earlier event cycles, has become a popular way to extend replay value and bolster the long-term appeal of the games. Nintendo Switch users interested in participating should ensure their game is updated and their Nintendo Switch Online membership is active for the best online experience.

Guides and tips for conquering the Blaziken raid are readily available through official channels and community sites like Serebii.net, catering to players looking to optimize their raid strategies. The 7-Star Blaziken Tera Raid stands as yet another example of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s evolving endgame, offering high-level rewards and exclusive Pokémon for dedicated Nintendo Switch players.

Don’t miss this chance to add the Flying Tera Type Blaziken to your collection during this limited-time event.
