Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's next 7-star Tera Raid Battle features Rillaboom

Mighty Rillaboom is set to soon appear in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, with trainers getting to encounter the formidable beast in 7-star Tera Raid Battle events in Paldea during the occasion. The final form of the Generation VIII starter pocket monster, Grookey, will sport a unique Tera Type for the event. Apart from the Tera Raid boss, you will also get special item rewards upon successfully completing the encounter.

The Pokemon Company has utilized the 7-star Tera Raid Battle events to introduce popular Pocket Monsters from earlier generations who are not normally available in Paldea. The list includes the likes of Delphox, Samurott, Greninja, Chesnaught, Charizard, and more.

When is Mighty Rillaboom arriving in the 7-star Tera Raid Battle event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

Similar to earlier 7-star Tera Raid Battle events, Mighty Rillaboom will be available in two phases. They are as follows:

• The first phase will begin on Friday, July 28, 2023, at 12 am UTC and will continue until Sunday, July 30, 2023, at 11:59 pm UTC.
• The second phase will begin on Friday, August 4, 2023, at 12 am UTC and will continue until Sunday, August 6, 2023, at 11:59 pm UTC.

Rillaboom will feature the Normal Tera Type for the event, along with the Mightiest Mark. The latter signifies a Pocket Monster that has been caught in a 7-star Tera Raid Battle. Given that the Drummer Pokemon is normally unavailable in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you will not want to miss out on the event to catch the Mighty Rillaboom.

Catching Rillaboom will also allow you to get a hold of Grookey and Thwackey. Once you have caught the Drummer Pokemon from the Tera Raid Battle event, you can breed it with a Ditto in Paldea to get a Grookey Egg.

Once you have hatched said egg, you can evolve Grookey into Thwackey by leveling it to level 16. Thwackey then evolves to Rillaboom at level 35.

You need to keep in mind that bred Grookey, Thwackey, or Rillaboom won't feature the Mightiest Mark. Also, this is the most effective way to get hold of a Shiny Grookey, Shiny Thwackey, and Shiny Rillaboom.

To participate in this unique event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you need to ensure you have the latest version of Poke Portal News downloaded in-game. You will also require a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership if you wish to engage Mighty Rillaboom while banding with other trainers online.
