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:

Face a Mighty Blaziken!

Catch a Blaziken with the Mightiest Mark!
Blaziken with the Mightiest Mark has returned to black crystal Tera Raid Battles! You can try catching Blaziken from Friday, January 19, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 23:59 UTC.

Blaziken cannot normally be encountered in Paldea, and the Blaziken appearing during this event has Flying 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!

During this event, Blissey will be appearing more frequently in 5-star Tera Raid Battles. These Blissey will have various Tera Types, so prepare wisely before challenging them! Defeating Blissey will yield some delightful rewards, such as various Tera Shards and bonus Exp. Candies.

This special Blaziken can be caught only once per save data. If you caught this Blaziken previously during a Tera Raid Battle event, you cannot catch it again. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Blaziken to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.

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

Event Schedule

Friday, January 19, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 23:59 UTC

Blaziken will have the same mark, Ability, and moves regardless of when it is caught during the event.
