The Pokémon Company has launched a new water-type special event for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch, running through August 7, 2026 (until 08:59 JST).
The limited-time content includes a Dragon-type Tera Raid featuring a Magikarp carrying the Mightiest Mark, alongside multiple mass outbreaks across Paldea and the Kitakami and Blueberry Academy areas.
The event also extends to The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero content where applicable.
Event overview
- Duration: Through August 7, 2026 (08:59 JST) as announced by The Pokémon Company on its official Twitter account.
- Platform: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch (Tera Raid and Mass Outbreak systems active in-game).
- Highlight: Dragon-type Tera Raid against a Magikarp with the Mightiest Mark.
Mass outbreak locations and marked Pokémon
The special event increases encounter rates for water-type Pokémon with specific Marks at the following locations:
- 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).
Official statements (rewritten)
The Pokémon Company noted on Twitter that a ‘mightiest’ Magikarp will appear in a special Tera Raid and encouraged players to try the encounter before the event ends.
The company also warned that areas such as Casseroya Lake will be unusually crowded during the event, with a higher-than-normal chance to meet Pokémon bearing various Marks.
Finally, The Pokémon Company confirmed that the water-type mass outbreaks are active in both Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and the related 'Zero' content for the duration of the event.
Why this matters
Tera Raid Battles and Mass Outbreaks remain core features of Scarlet and Violet’s endgame, and time-limited events like this one give collectors and competitive players targeted opportunities to capture marked or rare specimens.
The inclusion of a Magikarp with the Mightiest Mark in a Dragon-type Tera Raid is notable for trainers looking to test Tera mechanics or add unique-marked Pokémon to their collections.
Players on Nintendo Switch can access the event through the in-game Tera Raid interface and Mass Outbreak hotspots.
The Pokémon Company’s official social accounts provided the original event notices and full details.
