Hisuian Samurott is a unique regional variant found in Hisuia, which is the setting of Pokemon Legends Arceus. The term refers to Sinnoh, but prior to Generation IV. Hisuian Samurott is a dual-type pocket monster boasting a Water and Dark-type combination. For the event, it will bear the Water Tera Type and the Mightiest Mark.
Given its type combination and Tera Type, the best counters for Mighty Hisuian Samurott Tera Raids are Miraidon, Meowscarada, Breloom, and Toxapex. Interested readers can check out our solo raid guide to make quick work of the boss.
Players will need to unlock black crystal Tera Raids in-game to come across this event unless they are joining someone who is hosting. Hisuian Samurott can only be caught once per save date, with subsequent successful raid completions awarding lucrative in-game resources.
Breeding Hisuian Samurott with a Ditto will result in an Oshawott egg. Hatching the same and evolving it won't result in a Hisuian variant of Samurott. The only way to do so is to transfer it into Pokemon Legends Arceus, evolve it there, and then bring it back to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Trainers need to ensure that they have the latest version of Poke Portal News downloaded on their devices. Furthermore, if they wish to band together with other Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players over the internet to fight Hisuian Samurott in 7-star black crystal Tera Raids, they will require a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.
