Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers around the world can now square up against a Mighty Pikachu during their Paldea exploration as the latest black crystal Tera Raid Battle event is finally online. Touted as a celebration of Pokemon Day, the Mouse Pokemon will play Tera Raid boss for 7-star Tera Raid Battles, with players not only getting to catch the Pocket Monster but also getting their hands on lucrative loot.
Regarded as the official mascot for the long-running Pokemon franchise, the massively popular yellow rodent has been a constant staple over the decades. Unlike Charizard, Cinderace, and Greninja, who made their debuts in Paldea with the 7-star Tera Raid Battle event, Pikachu was already available in the overworld of the latest Gen IX titles.
This article jots down all possible item drops from the ongoing 7-star Tera Raid Battle event that players will be able to get after successfully defeating the Tera Raid boss.
