Prepare to Face a Mighty Pikachu!

Catch a Pikachu with the Mightiest Mark!

Pikachu with the Mightiest Mark will be appearing in black crystal Tera Raid Battles to commemorate Pokémon Day! You can join the festivities with Pikachu from Friday, February 24, 2023, at 00:00 UTC to Monday, February 27, 2023, at 14:59 UTC.

The Pikachu appearing during this event has Water as its Tera Type, and its torrent of attacks make it a formidable foe—it even has the Mightiest Mark to prove it!
