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 Chesnaught!

Catch a Chesnaught with the Mightiest Mark!
Chesnaught with the Mightiest Mark will be appearing in black crystal Tera Raid Battles from Friday, May 12, 2023, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, May 14, 2023, at 23:59 UTC, then again from Friday, May 19, 2023, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 23:59 UTC.

Chesnaught cannot normally be encountered in Paldea, and the Chesnaught appearing during this event has Rock as its Tera Type. Be prepared—this Pokémon is a formidable foe, and it’s got the Mightiest Mark to prove it! Work together with your friends to topple this powerful Tera Pokémon!

This special Chesnaught can be caught only once per save data. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Chesnaught to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.

This Chesnaught may be featured in future events or become obtainable through other methods.
