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 Samurott!

Catch a Samurott with the Mightiest Mark!
Samurott with the Mightiest Mark will be appearing in black crystal Tera Raid Battles from Friday, March 31, 2023, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, April 2, 2023, at 23:59 UTC, then again from Friday, April 7, 2023, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, April 9, 2023, at 23:59 UTC.

Samurott cannot normally be encountered in Paldea, and the Samurott appearing during this event has Bug as its Tera Type, making it a formidable foe—it even has the Mightiest Mark to prove it! Work together with your friends to topple this powerful Tera Pokémon!

This special Samurott can be caught only once per save data. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Samurott to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.
This Samurott may be featured in future events or become obtainable through other methods.
