Summary
The latest mainlinePokemonRPGs follow up on the Max Raid Battles fromSword and Shieldwith the introduction of Tera Raids. As was the case with the previous pair of games,Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’sTera Raidsoffer an opportunity to take down one giant pocket monster with a team of four creatures. Game Freak has been running the most rewarding, seven-star variants of these events on a monthly basis ever since its latest mainlinePokemongames debuted in late 2022.

The seven-star raids inPokemon Scarlet and Violettypically run over two four-day periods with at least a week in between them. While players are only able to catch one of the featured Pokemon across both editions of a given raid, Game Freak has been consistently running the events in pairs in order to provide players with more opportunities to obtain some of the most powerful creatures inScarlet and Violet. Many seven-star Tera Raids have historically starred either legendaries or pseudo-legendary Pokemon; Mewtwo would very much continue that trend, seeing how it’s one of the most recognizable legendary creatures in the entire franchise.
The veracity of this leak is likely to be confirmed atthe next Pokemon Presents event, which Nintendo and The Pokemon Company scheduled for Tuesday, August 8. As per usual, fans are in for over half an hour’s worth ofPokemonnews spanning everything fromScarlet and Violetto thePokemon TCG, merchandise, and mobile apps such asPokemon SleepandPokemon GO.
In the meantime, anyone eager to catch Mewtwo who still hasn’t powered throughScarlet and Violet’smain quest should make that their number one priority. Namely, the seven-star events only become accessible after finishing the games' story, all gym leader rematches, and completing a few five-star Tera Raid battles.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetare available for Nintendo Switch.
