Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Tera Raid Battles and Legendary Paradox Pokemon Return

Introduction to Tera Raid Battles

To wrap up the year, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet revealed the return of Walking Wake and Iron Hands as 5-star Tera Raid bosses, and a new seven-star Tera raid against Iron Bundle will be available beforehand. Both series of Tera raid battles will give Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players a chance to test their mettle against powerful Paradox Pokemon.

The news of these Tera raids came just days after The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was released. While completing the DLC's main story is not mandatory to access these upcoming Tera raid battles, The Indigo Disk gives players more Pokemon from past generations to catch. In addition, the legendary Pokemon Terapagos has access to both the Stellar Tera type and the move Tera Starstorm, both of which can factor into the choices Pokemon trainers will have ahead of these new challenges.

First up, the seven-star Tera raid battle against Iron Bundle will take place nearly a month after Hisuian Samurott was a raid boss. The battle against Iron Bundle the Unrivaled starts on Thursday, December 21 at 8:00 p.m. ET and ends on Sunday, December 24 at 7:59 p.m. ET. Though it is normally a Paradox Pokemon exclusive to Pokemon Violet, Iron Bundle the Unrivaled will be available in both versions. It will have the Ice-type as its Tera type, and its Quark Drive ability will boost its power when Electric Terrain is on the field. As a fast special attacker with decent physical defense, Iron Bundle is a threat to Pokemon that have weaker special defenses. However, a strong Pokemon such as Terapagos holding an Assault Vest and moves such as Flamethrower, Meteor Beam, and Flash Cannon can be useful against this Paradox Pokemon.

Return of Legendary Paradox Pokemon

Immediately after the end of the Iron Bundle raid period, the Legendary Paradox Pokemon Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will return to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet respectively, as five-star Tera raids. This raid will start on Christmas and conclude on Sunday, January 7, meaning trainers who did not get them in February 2023 will have another chance.

As before, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will respectively have the Water and Psychic types as their Tera types. However, Walking Wake or Iron Leaves cannot be caught by Pokemon trainers who were able to get one during the first round, but will still give rewards to trainers that defeat them.

Between these Tera raid battles and an upcoming giveaway in CoroCoro magazine issues, Paradox Pokemon will dominate the holiday season in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Only time will tell what The Pokemon Company's plans for Tera raid battles will be in the new year.
