Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Treasures of Ruin Tera Raid Event Surpasses Expectations, Shiny Wo-Chien Distributed via Mystery Gift

The Pokémon Company has announced remarkable results for the first Treasures of Ruin Tera Raid event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, exclusively available on the Nintendo Switch.

The event, which was eagerly anticipated by trainers worldwide, centered around the challenge of defeating Shiny Wo-Chien, one of the Legendary Pokémon introduced in the Scarlet and Violet versions released in November 2022.

Over the event period, the Pokémon community achieved an extraordinary feat, defeating more than 3.5 million Shiny Wo-Chien Tyrant Tera Raid bosses.

According to official data shared by The Pokémon Company, this accomplishment exceeded the initial challenge goal by more than three times.

In recognition of these efforts, all players of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will be rewarded with a special Shiny Wo-Chien through the in-game Mystery Gift feature starting August 8, 2025. In an official statement, The Pokémon Company noted, "With the total number of victories surpassing one million, all trainers will receive Shiny Wo-Chien as a Mystery Gift at a later date." The announcement, which was widely circulated across Pokémon’s Japanese and global social media platforms, underscores the impressive collaboration and dedication within the franchise’s community, showcasing the enduring popularity of event-based gameplay on the Nintendo Switch. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have continually maintained high engagement since their launch, buoyed by innovative events like Tera Raids and robust support via periodic updates and downloadable content accessible from the Nintendo eShop.

The Treasures of Ruin Tera Raid not only provided an opportunity to face rare Pokémon in challenging battles but also united players toward a shared goal, reinforcing Pokémon’s legacy of fostering global participation. Players eager to claim their Shiny Wo-Chien should watch for the Mystery Gift distribution, available beginning August 8, 2025.
