The Pokémon Company has activated a limited-time in-game event for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch centered on the long-necked Pokémon Farigiraf and its evolutionary line.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, developed by Game Freak and released for Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022, continue to receive post-launch support through periodic events, Tera Raid rotations, and mass outbreak appearances.
According to official messaging from The Pokémon Company, the special event spotlights Farigiraf and includes a high-tier Tera Raid encounter as well as expanded mass outbreaks.
The company’s announcement states the event will run until August 20, 2026 and highlights both raid and outbreak components.
Independent coverage from Serebii.net provides additional timing and detail.
Serebii reports that Farigiraf will appear in 7-star Tera Raid Battles, and that Girafarig and Farigiraf will appear in mass outbreaks through August 27, 2026, at 23:59 UTC.
Rewritten in journalistic terms: Serebii confirms that a Mightiest Mark 7-star Tera Raid against a Fairy-type Farigiraf is active, while simultaneous mass outbreaks of Girafarig and Farigiraf are occurring with an increased chance to encounter the Intellectual mark.
Event mechanics explained: Tera Raid Battles and mass outbreaks are core multiplayer and single-player features in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. 7-star Tera Raids represent some of the most challenging raid content available in-game and typically offer unique Tera types, marks, or battle rewards.
Mass outbreaks increase spawn rates for specific species in the overworld, raising the likelihood of finding rare forms or marked Pokémon during the event window.
How to participate: Players can join Tera Raid Battles and encounter mass outbreaks via Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s overworld systems on Nintendo Switch.
Events like this are commonly announced through official Pokémon channels and fan sites such as Serebii; players should check the in-game news and the Nintendo eShop news feed for confirmations and any regional timing differences.

For players tracking marked Pokémon or attempting high-star Tera Raids, now is a prime window to engage with Farigiraf and Girafarig content in Scarlet and Violet.
