Mightiest Mark Baxcalibur Tera Raid Event Announced For Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

From June 20th to June 22nd, and again from June 27th to June 29th, 2025, players will be able to face off against a Baxcalibur with an Ice Tera Type and the Mightiest Mark. As with previous 7-Star Raids, this Pokémon can only be caught once per save file, but players can re-battle it for additional rewards like Tera Shards, Bottle Caps, and Herba Mystica.

Coordinate in Multiplayer: Having a balance of support and DPS Pokémon makes all the difference.
This Tera Raid event promises a tough challenge, but also a unique reward in the form of a rare, single-catch Mightiest Mark Baxcalibur. Be sure to prepare your best counters and jump into the raid while it’s live!
