Prepare for Incineroar The Unrivaled on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Pokémon has announced the upcoming Tera Raid Event for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, this time completing the Gen 7 Starter trio by bringing Incineroar with the Mightiest Mark.

The event will happen twice: first, from Thursday, September 5th, to Sunday, September 8th (or Friday to Sunday, depending on your Time zone), and second, from Thursday, September 12th, to Sunday, September 15th. The latter will be featuring Event Blisseys on the 5-Star Tera Raids, rewarding extra Tera Shards and experience candies.

7-Star Tera Raid Events only allow you to catch one Event Incineroar per account; the only way to have multiple would be through trading.

Incineroar will have the Dark Tera Type, weak to Bug, Fairy, and Fighting-type attacks, being a 7-Star Tera Raid, Incinerorar will have its Hidden Ability Intimidate, which will lower your Pokémon's Attack, you may be able to take advantage of this with Abilities such as Contrary or Defiant, which would result on an increase in Attack instead.

Ignoring Nature, Incineroar has a high Attack Stat and balanced Defenses, so your focus should be on a high Defense and HP. It will most likely know its Signature Move Darkest Lariat, which ignores your Stat changes (Defense and Evasion) regardless if they are increased or lowered.

To participate in the Special Blissey Raids, you must have completed the main story up to the end credits; open the Poké Portal and Check Poké Portal News through the Mystery Gift menu; the special raids will appear with a glimmer around the icon on the map.

To unlock the Incineroar Raid, you must unlock Black Crystal Tera raids by completing a few random raids after the end credits and participating in the post-game tournament. However, if you don't meet these requirements, you can still join the event by playing with someone who has unlocked it through online play or local communication.
