Players of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can encounter Empoleon with the Mightiest Mark at black Tera Raid crystals from Friday, February 2nd, 2024 to Sunday, February 4th, 2024, at 23:59 UTC, then again from Friday, February 9th, 2024 to Sunday, February 11th, 2024, at 23:59 UTC.

Prepare to Face a Mighty Empoleon!

Catch an Empoleon with the Mightiest Mark! Empoleon will be appearing at black Tera Raid crystals from Friday, February 2, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, February 4, 2024, at 23:59 UTC, then again from Friday, February 9, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, February 11, 2024, at 23:59 UTC.

Empoleon cannot normally be encountered in Paldea, and the Empoleon appearing during this event has Ice 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 the latter half of this event—from Friday, February 9, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, February 11, 2024, at 23:59 UTC—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 Empoleon can be caught only once per save data. If you caught this Empoleon previously during a Tera Raid Battle event, you cannot catch it again. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Empoleon to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.

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