The next Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 5-star Tera Raid event will bring a terastallized Paradox Pokemon as the main opponent, with Great Tusk featured in Pokemon Scarlet and Iron Treads in Pokemon Violet. This will be one of the few chances that players will get to face Paradox Pokemon in Tera Raid events, as they are not featured in them very often.Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were released over six months ago and, at the time of the launch, these new Pokemon titles failed to live up to the expectations of the most demanding Pokemon players. While these games featured a fully explorable open world, they had several performance issues. However, Game Freak’s constant support is still keeping the community engaged, as the performance improved after some patches, and the Tera Raids are constantly giving Pokemon players new time-limited challenges to face.Now, Game Freak has already revealed the Pokemon featured in the next Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid event: Great Tusk and Iron Treads, which will come in multiple Tera types, according to the official announcement. While the Ground/Fighting-type Great Tusk will be featured only in Pokemon Scarlet, its futuristic counterpart, the Ground/Steel-type Iron Treads, will appear solely in Pokemon Violet. These two Pokemon are inspired by Donphan, a Gen 2 Ground-type creature that looks like a mammoth. The event is set to happen next weekend, running from May 19 to 21.
At the same time that this 5-star Tera Raid will be happening, Pokemon players will also be able to participate in the 7-star Chesnaught Tera Raid. Chesnaught is a Grass/Fighting-type Pokemon that was originally introduced in Gen 6. Chesnaught will be a powerful Pokemon with a unique terastallized version that will be available only for a limited period, so it's worth checking out.
It’s fair to say that Paradox Pokemon is certainly one of the most popular aspects in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, as well as the Tera Raids themselves. So, this event marks a pretty special time, as it’s not especially common for Paradox Pokemon to be featured in these events. The concept of Paradox Pokemon is so popular right now that the community is constantly coming up with new Paradox forms for Pokemon, giving new forms to several creatures such as Celebi, Zapdos, Wooper, Entei, and many others.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now for Nintendo Switch.
