The Pokémon Company has launched a limited-time 7-star Tera Raid event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, bringing a rare Incineroar with a Dark Tera Type and the exclusive Mightiest Mark to the Nintendo Switch title.
Event window and platforms
The event runs from May 22, 2026 through May 28, 2026, concluding at 23:59 UTC on May 28.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch family of systems.
Players can encounter the special 7★ Tera Raid through in-game raid portals as part of the existing Tera Raid Battle system.
What the raid includes
According to community tracker Serebii, the featured Incineroar appears in 7-star Tera Raid Battles for the duration of the event.
This Incineroar carries the Dark Tera Type and the Mightiest Mark; it can be caught only once per save file.
After capturing the marked Incineroar, trainers may still continue to challenge the raid for in-game rewards and Battle Points.
Rewritten statement for clarity
Serebii reported that Incineroar will be available in 7★ Tera Raid Battles through May 28, 2026, at 23:59 UTC.
The Pokémon Company confirmed the event's start and noted the marked Incineroar is a limited one-capture opportunity, though players can repeat the raid for various rewards after obtaining the Pokémon.
Context and relevance
Tera Raid Battles are a core multiplayer feature in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, allowing trainers to team up locally or online to tackle powerful Terastallized Pokémon.
The Mightiest Mark denotes special distributions and events; marked Pokémon are commonly distributed by official events or limited-time raids.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet launched on November 18, 2022, and continue to receive seasonal events and raid rotations coordinated by The Pokémon Company to keep the online community engaged.
How to prepare
Players should ensure their Nintendo Switch is connected online, check for in-game news for raid access, and consider forming a team with high-damage and utility Pokémon to handle the 7★ difficulty.
Community resources and guides are available for trainers needing strategies to clear the event.
For live updates and detailed raid parameters, follow reputable community sites and official channels from The Pokémon Company and Nintendo.
