Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are not done hosting Tera Raid and Mass Outbreak events yet, as The Pokemon Company revealed a Water-type summer event for players to participate in soon. The upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet event will run for a few weeks, giving trainers plenty of time to battle and catch some aquatic Pokemon.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Hosting Water-Type Events This Summer
Although recent Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have focused heavily on Starters, the next event may come as a surprise to some Pokemon trainers. A Dragon-type Magikarp will be available as a Seven-Star Tera Raid boss starting Thursday, July 16, at 8:00 PM Eastern and ending Thursday, August 6, at 7:59 PM Eastern. Alongside the Magikarp raids, Water Pokemon Mass Outbreaks will be held across Paldea, Kitakami, and the Terarium. Each Water-type Pokemon set to appear during the upcoming Mass Outbreaks will have an increased chance of bearing a special mark. Waves of Tatsugiri, Dondozo, and Vuleza will be found across Casseroya Lake, while outbreaks of Slowpoke and Psyduck will occur in various spots across Paldea. Kitakami will see outbreaks of Feebas and White-Striped Basculin, while the Terarium will see Lapras appear more often during the summer event.
