Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Next Tera Raid Event Features Infernape

by

As a seasoned Pokémon trainer with memories dating back to the days of Diamond and Pearl, I can’t help but feel a rush of nostalgia hearing about the upcoming Infernape Tera Raid event in Scarlet and Violet! I remember Ash’s fiery monkey companion fondly, and now I have the chance to catch one for myself without breaking the bank. The fact that it will be a Rock Tera-type adds an extra layer of excitement to the hunt.

The Tera Raid event for Serperior in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has concluded, but The Pokemon Company is already planning the next one! In early October, Infernape will have its time to shine in 7-star Tera Raids. As with previous events, the 7-star Raids will be divided into two phases. The first phase of this event will commence on Thursday, October 3rd at 5 p.m. Pacific Time and continue until Sunday, October 6th at 4:59 p.m. Pacific Time. Following this, another run will take place from Thursday, October 10th at 5 p.m. Pacific Time through Sunday, October 13th at 8:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

During this special event, instead of being a Fire/Fighting Pokemon, Infernape will have a Rock Tera-type. If you manage to catch it, the Pokemon will display the Mightiest Mark, enabling you to give it the title “the Unrivaled” when deployed in battle. You’re welcome to join as many of these Tera Raids as you like during the event, but only one Infernape can be caught per save file. Even after the event ends, you can still participate in multiple Raids to acquire other in-game rewards such as Tera Shards.

During the second iteration of the Infernape event, players might find themselves battling Blissey in 5-star Tera Raids. The Blissey they face may have different Tera types, making it trickier for players to devise a strategy, but overcoming it will yield rewards such as Tera Shards and Experience Candy.

Infernape is the final evolved form of Chimchar, the Fire-type starter from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Infernape has long been a favorite among Pokemon fans, particularly since it was used by Ash in the Pokemon anime. Infernape cannot normally be obtained in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, except through the The Indigo Disk DLC, or by transferring one from a previous game through Pokemon Home. The nice thing about these Tera Raid events is they allow players to obtain some of the most coveted Pokemon out there without spending anything extra!
