This week will begin a series of 7-Star Tera Raid Battles featuring the final evolutions of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet! The battles begin on Thursday, January 8.
Featured Pokémon
The first Pokémon will be Ground-Tera Type Venusaur, starting from Thursday, January 8, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. CST to Thursday, January 15, 2026, at 5:59 p.m. CST, after which the next featured Pokémon will begin. The exact order is unknown currently.
You can only catch one of these Pokémon per save file — that means you may have already caught a copy during a previous event and cannot obtain another during this re-run.
