The Pokemon Company has announced a limited-time Water‑Type event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch, running from July 17 to August 6, 2026.
Developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokemon Company and Nintendo, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet remain the current mainline Pokemon entries on Nintendo Switch and continue to receive seasonal in-game events and DLC support.
According to the official announcement, the summer event centers on Water‑Type Pokemon and includes a headline Dragon‑Type Tera Raid featuring a Magikarp carrying the Mightiest Mark.
The publisher also said players will see increased Mass Outbreaks for several Water‑Type species in defined Paldean and Kitakami locations and at Blueberry Academy.
Rewritten from the official Japanese announcement and social post: The Pokemon Company explained that the event invites players to enjoy Water‑Type Pokemon during summer in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and the Zero DLC, highlighting a Tera Raid battle against a Mightiest Mark Pokemon and a range of Mass Outbreaks where Pokemon bearing different marks will appear more frequently.
Event details (July 17–August 6, 2026):
- Around Casseroya Lake: Dondozo (Rowdy Mark), Tatsugiri (Crafty Mark), Veluza (Ferocious Mark)
- Paldea Region: Psyduck (Absentminded Mark), Slowpoke (Zoned-Out Mark)
- Kitakami Region: Feebas (Prideful Mark), Basculin (Ferocious Mark)
- Blueberry Academy: Lapras (Intellectual Mark)
Tera Raids and Mass Outbreaks are core mechanics in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that let players encounter rare forms and boosted-level Pokemon in the overworld and cooperative raid battles.
The announced Dragon‑Type Tera Raid against a Magikarp with the Mightiest Mark is notable because it pairs an iconic Water‑Type species with an atypical Tera type and a special mark that alters capture and battle appeal.
This event will be accessible to players running Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch.
Fans who follow official channels can expect the in-game news and social accounts of The Pokemon Company to carry further reminders and any additional instructions for participating.
