With every new generation, the Pokemon series adds unique gimmicks and events to change things from before. In the last two generations, co-op “Raid Battles” have been one of the things they added. In Gen 8, they were “Dynamax Battles,” where you would challenge massive-sized Pokemon in teams of 4, so you could capture them later. Then in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, that was changed to Tera Raids, where you would battle Terastallized Pokemon with a particular “Tera Type,” depending on who they were and the crystals you found in the world. The feature gives you many options in battle and can help change up your Pokemon’s weaknesses based on who you have and their Tera Type.

Not unlike Gen 8, The Pokemon Company is releasing special “Tera Raid Events” to give you a chance to battle and catch special Pokemon with unique Tera Types. For example, in the first raid event for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you’ll be able to get Eevees with particular Tera Types.
