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 Meganium!

Catch a Meganium with the Mightiest Mark!
Meganium with the Mightiest Mark has returned to black crystal Tera Raid Battles! You can try catching Meganium from Friday, April 12, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, April 14, 2024, at 23:59 UTC.

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

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

Event Schedule

Friday, April 12, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, April 14, 2024, at 23:59 UTC

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