Pokémon Scarlet/Violet Mass Outbreaks & Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raids Now Live

Trainers, prepare to strike gold in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet! From today to Monday, May 5, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. PDT, look for mass outbreaks of the following Pokémon in these locations:

• Paldea – Magikarp and Varoom
• Kitakami – Shinx
• Blueberry Academy – Rellor

Shiny Pokémon are more likely to appear in these special mass outbreaks, so don’t miss out on this golden opportunity to find one!

Mass outbreaks are a phenomenon in which many of the same species of Pokémon appear in one location. To participate in mass outbreak events, you will need to download the latest Poké Portal News and install the latest update data for your game.

Get your team ready to take on some powerful Paradox Pokémon as Walking Wake and Iron Leaves return to 5-star Tera Raid Battles! You’ll be able to take on these mysterious Pokémon from today to Monday, May 6, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. PDT.

Water–Tera Type Walking Wake will be appearing in Tera Raid Battles in Pokémon Scarlet and Psychic–Tera Type Iron Leaves will be appearing in Tera Raid Battles in Pokémon Violet. These version-exclusive Pokémon can’t normally be encountered in Paldea, so try joining Tera Raid Battles hosted by Trainers playing the other version of the game to help complete your Paradox Pokémon collection!

For the opportunity to encounter these Pokémon in Tera Raid Battles, you’ll need to have downloaded the latest Poké Portal News. You can do this by selecting Poké Portal in the X menu, then Mystery Gift, then Get Poké Portal News. After that, whenever you see a sparkling pillar of light shining from a Tera Raid crystal, you can walk up to the crystal and interact with it to start a Tera Raid Battle with a Tera Pokémon.

These special Pokémon can be caught only once per save data, so if you were able to catch them during one of their previous appearances, you won’t be able to catch them again. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against Walking Wake and Iron Leaves if you’ve already caught them to obtain other rewards—including significant amounts of Exp. Candy for leveling up your Pokémon, treasures that can be sold at Pokémon Centers, items for improving your Pokémon’s stats, and Tera Shards for changing your Pokémon’s Tera Type.
