Aside from somelegendary monstersandsurprisingly strong event battles,Pokemon Scarlet & Violetloves pitting players against starter Pokemon from previous generations in Tera Raid battles. And this weekend, it seems like we’ll return to that standard with a slight twist. As the next 7-Star Tera Raid event, allPokemon Scarlet & Violettrainers will face off against Hisuian Decidueye.
According tothe officialPokemonaccounton Twitter, the Hisuian Decidueye Tera Raid will utilize the Grass Tera Type. By default it’s a Grass/Fighting-Type hybrid, though its movepool has a lot of potential coverage. So whileseveral Pokemon fare well against Grass-Types, you may need to wait until we know its attacks to form an optimal counter. Like past 7-Star raids, this one will feature the Mightiest Mark that gives it the “Unrivaled” title if you catch it, which is a nice perk for hardcore collectors.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Decidueye in a Tera Raid. In fact,the last timewe saw this ‘mon inScarlet & Violetwas last March. However, this one is specifically the Hisuian variant fromPokemon Legends: Arceus.
This raid will be available in two date ranges:October 5 at 9:00 a.m. JST / 8:00 p.m. ESTtoOctober 9 at 8:59 a.m. JST / 7:59 p.m. EST, and then again onOctober 12 at 9:00 a.m. JST / 8:00 p.m. ESTtoOctober 15 at 8:59 a.m. JST / 7:59 p.m. EST. Whether you challenge Hisuian Decidueye this weekend or next weekend, best of luck!
