Iron Leaves and Walking Wake Tera Raid Battle event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet announced, along with an update for the bad Egg issue
The Play Pokemon Twitter channel confirmed that an update regarding the bad Egg issue would arrive on April 20. Furthermore, the Iron Leaves and Walking Wake Tera Raid Battle will return on Monday, May 1, 2023, and will continue for approximately two weeks.
An official press release was shared on the Play Pokemon Twitter channel on March 10. It began by stating that the developers will soon address the issue faced by those who participated in the first phase of the event, as mentioned above, without updating their game to version 1.2.0 (released on February 27, 2023).
Such players procured an Egg instead of catching Iron Leaves or Walking Wake after the Tera Raid Battle. Furthermore, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet didn't allow the said player to attempt again to catch either of the formidable beasts. The update is slated to enable "players who caught Eggs instead to catch one of these Pokémon."
Tera Raid Battle events feature a formidable beast sporting unique Tera Types players have to battle and defeat. The occasion uses the Gen IX battle gimmick Terastalization that developers with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced.
While the developers have introduced earlier generation pocket monsters not ordinarily available in Paldea with Tera Raid Battle events, the Iron Leaves and Walking Wake marked the debut of two new Paradox Forms. The same was announced during the reveal of the Gen IX titles' DLCs.
