The Pokémon Company has kicked off a limited-time 7-star Tera Raid event for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch, giving trainers another opportunity to face a rare Dragonite variant.
The event runs through October 1 and highlights a Dragonite with the Normal Tera Type that carries the in-game Mightiest Mark.
Serebii.net confirmed the event in a September 25, 2026 update, reporting that Dragonite is available in 7-star Tera Raid Battles until October 1 at 23:59 UTC.
According to the update, players can catch this Dragonite only once, and the captured Pokémon will bear the Mightiest Mark; after capturing it, trainers may continue to challenge the raid for additional rewards.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, released for Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022, include Tera Raid Battles as part of their online cooperative endgame content.
This event follows The Pokémon Company’s regular schedule of limited-time raid appearances that rotate high-star Tera Raid targets to give players access to unique forms, marks, or rarity-specific rewards.
How the event works
- Event period: Live now through October 1 at 23:59 UTC (per Serebii.net announcement).
- Target: Dragonite with Normal Tera Type in 7-star Tera Raid Battles.
- Catch limits: The Dragonite can be caught once per player; subsequent wins yield rewards but not additional copies of the marked Dragonite.
- Platform: Accessible in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch via in-game Tera Raid Battles.
For players looking to participate, join a 7-star Tera Raid session in-game during the event window.
Trainers who already own Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can find the raid crystals in the overworld and queue up solo or cooperatively to take on the Dragonite encounter.
The event is consistent with previous raid schedules that have been posted by community outlets like Serebii.net.
