The Pokémon Company revealed a new update and event coming to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet as we're getting a Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid Battle. This will be your chance to snag them for a limited time, as the event will coincide with a mass outbreak event featuring Pokémon that have black coloration, and Shiny will be held concurrently. Both games have started a three-part Tera Raid Battle event series featuring a few creatures that will prepare you for the battle to come. For now, we have the official details from the devs below, as the event itself will kick off on December 20.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – Shiny Rayquaza Appears
Trainers can find a Shiny Rayquaza with Dragon as its Tera Type in 5-star Tera Raid Battles from Friday, December 20, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 23:59 UTC. This Shiny Rayquaza cannot normally be encountered during regular gameplay. The Shiny Rayquaza appearing in this event can be caught only once per save data. As long as the event is running, Trainers can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Rayquaza to obtain other in-game rewards if they have already caught it. Shiny Rayquaza may be featured in future events or become encounterable through other methods. To commemorate this event, a special animated trailer has been released on the official Pokémon YouTube channel showing Shiny Rayquaza in the Paldea region.
Mass Outbreaks of Pokémon That Have Black Coloration When Shiny
During Shiny Rayquaza's appearance from Friday, December 20, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 23:59 UTC, mass outbreaks of Fraxure, Carbink, and Cetoddle—all of which have black coloration when Shiny—will appear throughout various locations. Pokémon appearing in these special mass outbreaks are more likely to be Shiny. During this event, Cetoddle can be encountered in the Paldea region, Carbink can be encountered in the land of Kitakami, and Fraxure can be encountered in the Terarium at Blueberry Academy.
