Kommo-o Headlines Upcoming 7-Star Tera Raid Battle Event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet for Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch players of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet can look forward to an exciting new Tera Raid Battle event, spotlighting Kommo-o as the star Pokémon.

Developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company, the pair of games continues to deliver engaging post-launch content with special timed events designed to challenge and reward dedicated trainers. Beginning July 11, 2024, Kommo-o will be available as a powerful opponent in 7-Star Tera Raid Battles, boasting the specialized Fighting Tera Type and carrying the prestigious Mightiest Mark—signifying its rarity and strength.

As is tradition with these limited-time events, each player will have just one opportunity to capture Kommo-o per save file, ensuring the Pokémon remains a prized addition for collectors and competitive battlers alike. Tera Raid Battles, a core multiplayer feature in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch, allow up to four players to team up locally or online to confront formidable Pokémon before the timer expires.

The Pokémon that appear in these raids often feature unique or rare Tera Types, adding a strategic layer to team composition and battle tactics.

For this event, Kommo-o’s Fighting Tera Type promises an especially challenging fight for seasoned trainers. Participation in Tera Raid Battle events is straightforward.

Players simply need to ensure their Nintendo Switch is connected to the internet.

The Poke Portal News, which distributes the latest raid updates, typically downloads automatically.

For those preferring manual updates, the process is accessible via the game’s X menu: select "Poke Portal," then "Mystery Gift," and finally "Check Poke Portal News." Notably, no Nintendo Switch Online subscription is required to receive event news, making these events accessible to a wide range of players. The Kommo-o Tera Raid event will run in two separate windows: July 11 to July 13, 2024, and again from July 18 to July 20, 2024.

During the latter period, the popular Pokémon Blissey will also appear, giving trainers an opportunity to engage with additional high-level battles.

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet launched globally for the Nintendo Switch in November 2022, marking a new era for the long-running franchise with their open-world design and new gameplay mechanics.

Since launch, Game Freak has consistently supported both games with raid events, trading opportunities, and downloadable content, underscoring their commitment to the player community.
