Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Launch 7-Star Typhlosion Tera Raid Event on Nintendo Switch

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the latest entries in the iconic Pokémon series developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company, have launched another high-stakes event for Nintendo Switch players.

Beginning this week, fans can participate in a limited-time 7-Star Tera Raid Battle featuring Typhlosion with the Ghost Tera Type, underscoring ongoing post-launch support and continuous content updates that keep the player base engaged. The event, officially announced by The Pokémon Company, kicked off on February 6, 2026, and will run through to February 12, 2026 at 23:59 UTC.

This challenging Tera Raid Battle is accessible to all Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players via the Nintendo Switch online multiplayer mode.

In this high-difficulty raid, Typhlosion appears as a formidable opponent equipped with the coveted Mightiest Mark.

Notably, players are limited to catching this special Typhlosion only once per save file, preserving the exclusivity of the reward.

However, challengers may continue to battle this event raid multiple times for additional in-game rewards after capturing Typhlosion. Serebii.net, a widely recognized Pokémon resource, confirmed the new event, emphasizing its availability and the unique features of this edition's raid.

As per Serebii's update, "Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's latest 7-Star Tera Raid Battle featuring Typhlosion is now live until Thursday, February 12th, at 23:59 UTC." Since its global release on November 18, 2022, on the Nintendo Switch, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have continued to deliver robust online event content via in-game updates and special battles.

This ongoing support demonstrates The Pokémon Company's commitment to adding replay value and fostering an active multiplayer community.

Tera Raid Battles, first introduced in these titles as a major gameplay innovation, have become a central feature, testing strategy and teamwork among trainers worldwide. Players who find the Typhlosion Tera Raid event particularly challenging can access a wealth of online resources offering raid strategies and team composition suggestions to maximize their chances of victory.

Capturing Typhlosion with the Mightiest Mark serves not just as a demonstration of skill but also as a sought-after addition to any collection. Fans looking to participate can find the event live through the in-game News tab and are encouraged to coordinate with friends or join public lobbies to enhance their success rates.

With the event window closing soon, trainers are urged to take advantage of this opportunity before Typhlosion with the Ghost Tera Type disappears once more from the Nintendo Switch eShop’s event rotation. The Pokémon Company’s steady rollout of challenging Tera Raid events continues to solidify Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's position as a dynamic and evolving entry in the long-running franchise, delivering thrilling new content to the Nintendo Switch audience.
