The standout events were the 7-Star Raids, featuring Pokémon with the special Mightiest Mark. These raids introduced Pokémon that were not initially available in Gen 9 games until Pokémon Home compatibility was added. Charizard was the first Pokémon to be featured in a 7-Star Raid, just a few months after the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Since then, other previous-generation starters such as Cinderace, Greninja, Pikachu, Decidueye, Samurott, Typhlosion, Inteleon, and Chesnaught have also been featured. However, it is interesting to note that Rillaboom and Delphox have yet to appear as raid bosses, despite their fellow starters from the same generations being featured.
Other significant occurrences consist of the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves events, which introduced the newly unveiled Paradox Pokemon to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players for the first time. Of particular interest is the recent Gimmighoul Spotlight event, despite its initial technical issues, as shiny hunters can now finally obtain Gimmighoul and its evolution, Gholdengo, for their collections. With the impending release of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, it is highly likely that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will host additional raid events tied to the DLC, potentially showcasing returning Pokemon from the upcoming expansion. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet can be played on the Nintendo Switch platform.
