Metagross the Unrivaled Comes to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet!

Trainers, get ready! The next Seven-Star Tera Raid challenge features none other than Metagross the Unrivaled. This formidable Pokémon will appear in raid dens across the Paldea region from May 8 to May 11, 2025, and again from May 15 to May 18, 2025.

The Featured Pokémon

Metagross, known as the Iron Leg Pokémon, debuted in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire as one of the two pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region. Evolving from Metang at level 45, Metagross is a dual Steel and Psychic-type Pokémon, famous for its striking blue body and four powerful legs. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, trainers can catch a Beldum or Metang in the Terarium's Polar Biome before evolving it into Metagross.

Raid Battle Details

During this limited-time event, Metagross will have Steel as its Tera type and will grant the Mightiest Mark to trainers who successfully defeat it. Recommended strategies include using Fire, Fighting, and Ground-type Pokémon, as Metagross is vulnerable to these types despite its powerful moves like Meteor Mash and Earthquake.

Event Schedule

- First Event: May 8, 2025, at 5:00 PM PDT - May 11, 2025, at 4:59 PM PDT

- Second Event: May 15, 2025, at 5:00 PM PDT - May 18, 2025, at 4:59 PM PDT

Remember: You can only catch this Metagross once per save file, but you can still join the raid battles for extra rewards even after you've caught it.

Special Bonuses

In addition to battling Metagross, the latter part of the event will feature 5-star Tera Raid Battles with Blissey, which will appear more frequently. These Blissey will have various Tera types and can yield valuable rewards like Tera Shards and Exp. Candies.

Conclusion

Prepare your teams and strategize wisely! Metagross the Unrivaled is a tough opponent, but with teamwork, you can claim victory and add this majestic Pokémon to your collection. Don't miss this chance to catch Metagross with the Mightiest Mark!
