Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are now available for Nintendo Switch. Read on below to learn more about one of the latest in-game events:
Prepare to Face a Mighty Cinderace!
Catch a Cinderace with the Mightiest Mark!
Cinderace with the Mightiest Mark will be appearing in black crystal Tera Raid Battles to commemorate 2023—the Year of the Rabbit! You can try scoring a win against Cinderace first from Friday, December 30, 2022, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 1, 2023, at 23:59 UTC, then again from Friday, January 13, 2023, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 15, 2023, at 23:59 UTC.
Cinderace cannot normally be encountered in Paldea, and the Cinderace appearing during this event has Fighting as its Tera Type, making it a formidable foe—it even has the Mightiest Mark to prove it! Work together with your friends to trip up this powerful Tera Pokémon!
This special Cinderace can be caught only once per save data. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Cinderace to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.
This Cinderace may be featured in future events or become obtainable through other methods.
