The Pokémon Company has officially announced the forthcoming 7-Star Tera Raid event series for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch, marking the much-anticipated return of all previous Mightiest Mark Starter Pokémon raids.
This move is set to captivate longtime players and newcomers alike, celebrating some of the most sought-after Tera Raids in the game's history. In an update shared by The Pokémon Company, the event will commence with the Mightiest Mark Venusaur raid on January 9, 2026.
Following a weekly rotation, additional starter Pokémon boasting the Mightiest Mark will headline subsequent 7-Star Tera Raid events.
Each raid will be available for a limited period, giving trainers another opportunity to challenge and capture these powerful and rare Pokémon. According to the official statement from The Pokémon Company, players who have previously caught a specific Mightiest Mark Pokémon during earlier raid events will not be able to acquire that same Pokémon again.
This rule maintains the exclusivity and value of these unique Pokémon while ensuring fairness for all participating trainers.
The company emphasized that the structure will allow players who missed prior events, or newcomers joining Pokémon Scarlet and Violet for the first time, to expand their collections with coveted starter Pokémon such as Venusaur, and others to follow in the scheduled rotation. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, launched in November 2022 for the Nintendo Switch, continue to receive robust post-launch content through events like Tera Raids, fostering an active community.
The title rapidly achieved significant sales milestones, topping 23 million units globally as of the latest financial reports, and has consistently maintained high engagement through online features and event support via the eShop and Nintendo Direct presentations. This comprehensive return of Mightiest Mark Starter Pokémon underscores The Pokémon Company’s commitment to sustaining fresh challenges and extended gameplay for the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet player base.
For those seeking to bolster their teams with exclusive Tera Raid Pokémon, marking calendars for the January 9, 2026 kickoff and monitoring Nintendo Switch event news is essential. For additional details on the schedule and requirements, trainers are encouraged to visit the official Pokémon website or check the latest updates through the Nintendo eShop and Scarlet and Violet in-game news.
Stay tuned for further announcements as each weekly rotation brings a new opportunity to participate in this celebrated event series.
