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:

Celebrate Pokémon Day with a Mighty Venusaur!

Catch a Venusaur with the Mightiest Mark!
In celebration of Pokémon Day 2024, Venusaur is appearing in black crystal Tera Raid Battles! You can try catching Venusaur from Wednesday, February 28, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at 23:59 UTC.

Venusaur cannot normally be encountered in Paldea, and the Venusaur appearing during this event has Ground 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 Venusaur can be caught only once per save data. If you caught this Venusaur previously during a Tera Raid Battle event, you cannot catch it again. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Venusaur to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.

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