Upcoming 7-Star Raid Suggests Surfing Pikachu Debut in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Pokémon Day is almost here, and fans are buzzing with excitement. This special day celebrates all things Pokémon. While many details remain a secret, we’ve got some juicy news for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players. Today, we learned about a new challenge coming to these games.

Get Ready for a New Raid

A Water-type Pikachu is the star of the next seven-star raid in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This Pikachu stands out. It will fight players in black crystal Tera Raid Battles. It keeps the same mark, ability, and moves for the entire event.

Mark Your Calendars

This exciting raid starts on February 23 at 5pm CT. But hurry, it ends quickly on February 27 at 9am CT. This gives players a short window to take on the challenge.

This Pikachu is tough, earning the Mightiest Mark for its strength. Luckily, you don’t need to beat it many times. You can catch this special Pokémon once per save data. But you can earn other rewards more than once.

A Hint for the Future?

The developers hint that this Pikachu might return in future events or be available through other means. Fans think this could mean we’ll see a Surfing Pikachu, as this one is a Water-type.

Alongside this raid, Pokémon Day will bring more fun later this month. The official hashtag for Pokémon Day was shared on social media. Fans can use it to show their love for Pokémon and maybe be part of the official Pokémon Day video mosaic.

More Surprises Await

Leaks suggest a new Legendary Pokémon might join Pokémon UNITE, the MOBA game. We expect more details this week or in the next Pokémon Presents broadcast.

This Pokémon Day looks packed with excitement for all Pokémon fans. Whether you’re diving into raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet or looking forward to new releases, there’s something for everyone. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as we celebrate the world of Pokémon.
