Temporary events continue to enliven the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet community. Regularly, Game Freak sets up special raids which allow players to face rare or particularly powerful creatures.
This time, the challenge highlights Torterra, a Pokémon well known to fans of the fourth generation. Trainers now have the opportunity to face him in a 7-star Teracrystal raid and attempt to capture him. This type of event generally attracts many players, because it offers more demanding fights than classic clashes.
A limited event to capture Torterra
The special raid is available for a limited time. Players can participate in this event until March 19 at 11:59 p.m. During this period, Torterra appears in Teracrystal raids with a maximum level and enhanced characteristics.
7-star raids are known to be some of the toughest challenges in the game. They often require solid strategy and good cooperation between players. The reward may be worth the effort, however, as the Pokémon offered during these events generally have rare traits.
A particularly powerful Pokémon
The Torterra available during this event has several elements that make it formidable. It appears directly at level 100, which corresponds to the maximum level in the game. It also has the Overpowered badge, a distinction reserved for Pokémon obtained during special raids. Here are the main characteristics of this Torterra:
Level: 100
Teracrystal Type: Ground
Nature: Brave
Talent: Carapace Armor
Capturable: only once per save
Chromatic: impossible
In combat, this Torterra also has particularly powerful attacks. These include Earthquake, Wooden Hammer, Tackle and Power of the Earth.
Prerequisites to access 7-star raids
Max-level Teracrystal raids are not immediately available to all players. Before you can participate, you must have completed the main story of Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Purple. After the end of the main adventure, certain additional activities allow you to unlock the most difficult raids. If these conditions are not met, it is still possible to join a group of online players who already have access to these raids. An Internet connection is also required to retrieve active events.
How to spawn the raid in the game
To participate in the event, players must first refresh the game information to retrieve the latest raid-related data. This operation can be done directly from the main menu. Here is the procedure to follow:
open the Poké Portal
access the Mystery Gifts section
select Receive Poké Portal news
restart the game
Once these steps are completed, raids related to the event will appear on the game map. Players can then attempt to defeat Torterra and add this powerful Pokémon to their collection before the end of the event.
