The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Ice Empoleon event offers a variety of lucrative item drops for successfully completing the 7-star Tera Raid Battle. While gamers can only catch the formidable boss once per save data, they can participate in the event as many times as they want for the resources on offer.
Empoleon is the final form of Piplup, one of three Generation IV starters. The Emperor Pokemon is a dual-type creature that boasts a combination of Water and Steel. Given that it is not available in the wild in the base games, you should not sleep on the ongoing event.
