The Pokémon Company has launched a limited-time 7-star Tera Raid event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that places a Flying Tera-type Salamence in the game’s highest-tier raid battles.
The event is active now and runs through October 15 at 23:59 UTC on Nintendo Switch, giving players a narrow window to participate in the raid and obtain the special Salamence.
Background
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for Nintendo Switch, feature Tera Raid Battles as a core multiplayer activity.
These cooperative encounters have been used frequently in timed in-game events to distribute rare Pokémon, event variants, and special markers.
Event details
According to community tracker Serebii.net, Salamence appears in 7★ Tera Raid Battles until October 15 at 23:59 UTC.
The raid Salamence is listed as having the Flying Tera Type and will possess the Mightiest Mark.
Players may catch this Salamence only once; however, they are able to continue challenging the same raid after capturing it to earn additional rewards.
Rewriting official and community notices in journalistic terms: The Pokémon Company has initiated a new 7-star Tera Raid for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that features a Flying Tera-type Salamence available to be caught a single time.
Serebii.net confirmed the raid is live and will run through October 15 at 23:59 UTC, advising players to join before the event window closes.
How to participate
Players can join 7★ Tera Raid Battles through Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s in-game raid system on Nintendo Switch.
These encounters support multiplayer cooperation, and event raids commonly yield in-game rewards even after the event Pokémon has been caught.
Trainers should connect online and look for 7★ raid tiles in the affected areas of the game world to participate.
Why it matters
Event raids like this provide trainers with a way to obtain otherwise rare or marked Pokémon tied to promotional windows.
The inclusion of the Mightiest Mark makes this Salamence a distinct catch for collectors and competitive players who track event-marked Pokémon across their save files.
