To wrap up the year 2024, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet announce that a popular Legendary Pokemon will soon appear in the Tera raid pits.

Following the final Tera raid battle against Feraligatr, another Pokemon Scarlet and Violet challenge will appear. According to Serebii.net, Torterra the Unrivaled will appear in the Seven-Star Tera Raid Dens starting Thursday, November 14th at 7:00 PM Eastern and ending on Sunday, November 17th at 6:59 PM Eastern. Pokémon Trainers who miss the initial Tera raid period will have another chance between November 21st and 24th. Torterra the Unrivaled will have the Ground type as the Tera type and will award the strongest Mark to Pokemon trainers who defeat it. However, Torterra's arrival will also mark the end of an era in Pokemon Scarlet and Violetas it will be the last Starter Pokemon from previous main generations to be featured as a seven-star Tera Raid boss.


Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Reveal Seven-Star Tera Raid Battle Torterra (Mid-November 2024)


  • Torterra the Unrivaled will appear in Seven-Star Tera Raids from November 14th to 17th
  • A second round will take place between November 21-24 for Pokémon coaches who missed the first weekend.
  • Torterra the Unvaled will be of the Tera-Ground type and will bear the strongest mark.
  • Grass Pokemon are recommended to withstand Torterra's strong attacks.

Like previous bosses, Torterra the Unvaled will have a hidden ability available for use. In this case, Torterra will have Shell Armor, which protects him from critical hits. This hidden ability was previously featured in Pokemon Scarlet and Violetduring the March 2023 Tera raids against Samurott the Peerless. However, Shell Armor can be removed by moves like Skill Swap, Worry Seed, and Gastro Acid. Even without Shell Armor, Torterra the Unrivaled can still use grass and ground attacks, the latter type gaining a power boost from Terastallization. Although Flying Pokemon are immune to moves like Earthquake, Torterra can counter with Rock-type attacks like Stone Edge.


Given Ground-type's weakness to powerful Grass Pokemon, a team with creatures like Serperior and Appletun could prove useful. Only time will tell which strategies Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players develop.
