Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Reveal New Water-Type Summer Event With Raids

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet still has more seasonal activities planned, with The Pokemon Company announcing a new Water-type summer event that’s expected to land shortly. Trainers will get a multi-week window to jump into raids, hunt aquatic species, and add some special encounters to their collection.

Key takeaways

• A Water-themed summer event is planned for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, running for several weeks.
• A Dragon-type Magikarp will serve as a Seven-Star Tera Raid boss starting July 16 at 8:00 PM ET.
• The raid period ends August 6 at 7:59 PM ET.
• Water Pokemon Mass Outbreaks will take place across Paldea, Kitakami, and the Terarium.
• During the Mass Outbreaks, the featured Water species will have a higher likelihood of appearing with a special mark.

Water-type summer events coming to Paldea and beyond

While many of the more recent Tera Raid rotations in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have skewed toward Starter-focused battles, the next scheduled event takes a different direction. A Dragon-type Magikarp is set to be available as a Seven-Star Tera Raid opponent, beginning Thursday, July 16 at 8:00 PM Eastern time. The event wraps up on Thursday, August 6 at 7:59 PM Eastern.

Alongside the Magikarp raid, Water Pokemon Mass Outbreaks will be active across multiple regions. These outbreaks span Paldea, Kitakami, and the Terarium, and each Water-type Pokemon featured during the event will come with an increased chance of showing up with a special mark.
