Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Shiny Ting-Lu Tera Raid Battle Event: Dates, Rewards, and How to Participate

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet continues to expand its dynamic Tera Raid Battle system, offering Trainers around the world limited-time opportunities to take on powerful Pokémon in new ways.

Developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company for Nintendo Switch, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is no stranger to high-profile events, and the upcoming Shiny Ting-Lu Tera Raid Battle is no exception. First introduced in Generation VIII’s Pokémon Sword and Shield, Raid Battles have evolved in Generation IX with the addition of the Terastal phenomenon.

This unique mechanic transforms a Pokémon’s type to any of the 18 available in-game, significantly impacting strategy and team choices.

Tera Raid Battles in Scarlet and Violet are structured as time-limited events, mirroring the approach seen in previous titles, but with new twists thanks to Terastallization and a diverse cast of Pokémon. **Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Shiny Ting-Lu Tera Raid Battle Details** The event will feature Shiny Ting-Lu in exclusive 5-Star Tera Raid Battles, running from Sunday, August 17th, 2025 at 5 p.m.

PT / 8 p.m.

ET to Sunday, August 31st, 2025 at 4:59 p.m.

Trainers will engage in tough battles against a Ground Tera Type Shiny Ting-Lu, though these event Pokémon cannot be captured directly during the raid.

Instead, once one million victories are achieved by the global player base, Shiny Ting-Lu will be distributed via Mystery Gift (Get via Internet) from September 4th, 2025 at 5 p.m.

PT / 8 p.m ET until September 30th, 2025 at 4:59 p.m.

ET. Participants will also receive valuable rewards for every 100,000 victories beyond the million mark, with each threshold granting a bundle of 40 Tera Shards, up to a maximum of 10 sets for an additional one million wins.

The collaborative community aspect distinguishes this event as players work together to reach significant milestones. **How to Join the Shiny Ting-Lu Tera Raid Battle** To access 5-Star Tera Raid Battles, players must complete the main story of Pokémon Scarlet or Violet and unlock the credits.

Event participation requires an internet connection to download the latest Poké Portal News, but no active Nintendo Switch Online subscription is necessary for receiving this content.

Players can update by accessing the Mystery Gift menu and selecting “Check Poké Portal News.” For those who haven’t met entry requirements, joining via Link Code or multiplayer group remains possible, though hosting is limited to eligible accounts. A glowing Tera Raid icon on the overworld map, accompanied by a distinct aura around the Raid crystal, signals the presence of event battles.

During these Shiny Ting-Lu raids, the featured opponent will be level 75, possess the Vessel of Ruin ability, hold the Ground Tera Type, and use the moves Stomping Tantrum, Stone Edge, Snarl, and Heavy Slam.

While it remains unconfirmed if the distributed Shiny Ting-Lu via Mystery Gift will have identical stats and moves, these are the attributes present in the Tera Raid itself. **Event Rewards and Mass Outbreaks** Defeating Shiny Ting-Lu in a 5-Star Tera Raid Battle will consistently net participants Exp.

Additional randomized rewards may include Rare Candy, Star Piece, Comet Shard, Nugget, PP UP, Impish Mint, Bottle Cap, Ability Capsule, Ability Patch, and various types of Herba Mystica. In parallel with the Tera Raid event, a special mass outbreak event increases shiny encounter rates for select species: Paldean Wooper appears in the Paldea region, Mudbray in Kitakami, and Drilbur in the Blueberry Academy’s Terarium.

Access to Kitakami and Blueberry Academy content may require The Hidden Area of Treasure Zero DLC expansions, namely The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. **Conclusion** The Shiny Ting-Lu Tera Raid Battle event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet marks an exciting opportunity for Nintendo Switch players to cooperatively meet global challenges and earn highly sought-after rewards.
