The Pokémon Company has activated a limited-time 7-star Tera Raid event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that puts Skeledirge at the center of high-end cooperative encounters on Nintendo Switch.

Developed by Game Freak and released on November 18, 2022, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduced Tera Raid Battles as a recurring online feature; this new event gives players another chance to capture a special Skeledirge with a Fire Tera Type and the Mightiest Mark.

According to coverage from Serebii.net, the Skeledirge 7-star Tera Raid is live and scheduled to run through September 17, 2026, at 23:59 UTC.

Serebii reported that players will be able to face this Fire Tera Skeledirge in 7-star raids until that date and time.

Event specifics confirmed by community reporting and official event patterns:

- The Skeledirge available in this event carries the Fire Tera Type.

- This event Skeledirge is marked with the Mightiest Mark and can be caught once per player account.

- After catching the featured Skeledirge, players may continue to challenge the raid for additional rewards and materials used for Terastal and other in-game systems.

Tera Raid Battles remain a cooperative multiplayer mode within Pokémon Scarlet and Violet; players can join friends or connect with others online to take down high-level Raid Pokémon.

As with previous event raids, successful completion can yield rare items, Tera Shards, and experience for participating Pokémon.

Because the event Skeledirge is flagged as a one-catch distribution, trainers who want to obtain the marked specimen should enter the raid before the event window closes on September 17, 2026, at 23:59 UTC.

For players who need help completing high-difficulty raids, community guides and walkthroughs offer recommended team compositions, status strategies, and item usage for Tera Raid encounters.

The event is accessible from within Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch; players should ensure their game is up to date before attempting the raid.

This event follows The Pokémon Company’s ongoing program of rotating Tera Raid distributions for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, aimed at giving players repeat opportunities to catch rare or uniquely marked Pokémon and to farm raid-specific rewards.
