Summary
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetrevealed that the next Seven-Star Tera Raid battle will pit trainers against Tyranitar, the pseudo-legendary Pokemon of the Johto region.Pokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers will have two opportunities to battle and catch Tyranitar the Unrivaled, and successful trainers will be rewarded for their efforts.
Known as the Armor Pokemon, Tyranitar first appeared inPokemon Gold and Silver. Tyranitar is the fully-evolved form of Larvitar and Pupitar and has the unique dual-typing of Rock and Dark. Tyranitar’s design is influenced by famous kaiju like Godzilla, and it can use powerful attacks like Stone Edge, Crunch, and Earthquake to devastate enemy teams. InPokemon X and Y, Tyranitar gained a Mega Evolution, where its high HP and physical attack stats were further amplified.Tyranitar previously appeared inPokemon Scarlet and VioletTera Raid battlesas a FIve-Star boss alongside Salamence, but its upcoming reign as a Seven-Star boss will be its first.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violettrainers will have a new challenge to overcome, startingone week after the Quaquaval Tera Raid event. According to Serebii.net, Tyranitar the Unrivaled will appear in Seven-Star Tera Raid dens starting Thursday, March 27, at 8:00 PM Eastern, and ending on Sunday, March 30, at 7:59 PM Eastern. Trainers who miss out will get a second chance the following weekend, from April 3 to 6, at the same starting and ending times. Tyranitar the Unrivaled will have the Ghost-type as its Tera type and will grant the Mightiest Mark to trainers who defeat it. Like previous Seven-Star Tera Raid bosses, Tyranitar the Unrivaled will also have a chance to drop Ghost Tera Shards and rare Herba Mystica.

Although Tyranitar can normally beobtained by catching and evolving a Larvitar, the Armor Pokemon will be level 100 when caught in this Tera Raid battle. Tyranitar the Unrivaled will have either Sand Stream or Unnerve as its ability, but neither should prove much of a problem for seasonedPokemontrainers. But, Tyranitar’s high physical attack and physical defense stats will pose a problem for somePokemonteams. Additionally, Tyranitar can use moves like Shadow Claw, Breaking Swipe, and Low Kick for coverage against Ghost and Dark Pokemon, which are super-effective against the Tera-Ghost type.
Pokemon such as Annihilape, Ting-Lu, or Urshifu could power through Tyranitar’s assault and counter with strong attacks of their own. While Tyranitar the Unrivaled will bea powerful Ghost Pokemonboss, it remains to be seen what strategiesPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers develop in the days ahead.
