Context and how to participate

Tera Raid Battles and mass outbreak mechanics debuted as marquee online features in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, giving players cooperative raid opportunities and localized outbreak spawns to catch or battle for rare marks and Tera forms.

Players can join these activities from within the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet game menus on Nintendo Switch while connected online.

The Mightiest Mark variant typically indicates a higher-powered Tera Raid opponent and can yield unique rewards when defeated.
