Pokémon Scarlet/Violet Legendary Tera Raid Event: Dialga and Palkia Descend!

Prepare for an epic showdown as The Pokémon Company announces a thrilling Legendary Pokémon Tera Raid Event for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. From December 8th to December 21st, 2023, Trainers will have the opportunity to challenge powerful Tera Raids featuring none other than Dialga in Pokémon Scarlet and Palkia in Pokémon Violet.

The Legendary Encounter

During this limited-time event, players will be tasked with facing off against these iconic Legendary Pokémon in intense Tera Raid Battles. Dialga, the Steel/Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon, takes the stage in Pokémon Scarlet, while Palkia, the Water/Dragon-type Legendary, makes its presence known in Pokémon Violet.

Capture Limitations

Trainers should note that they can only capture one of each Legendary Pokémon per save file. This restriction encourages strategic decision-making and adds an extra layer of excitement to the event. Choose wisely and make every encounter count as you strive to add these majestic Legendary Pokémon to your collection.

Online Connectivity Bonus

For those with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, an additional opportunity awaits. Trainers can connect with others online to capture the Legendary Pokémon not native to their game. This feature encourages collaboration and fosters a sense of community among Pokémon Trainers.
