Key Takeaways

  • Torterra the Unrivaled will feature in Seven-Star Tera Raids from Nov 14-17, then again on Nov 21-24.
  • Torterra will be a Ground Tera type awarding the Mighty Mark to victorious trainers.
  • The era of Starter Pokemon Tera Raid bosses in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will end with Torterra.

As a seasoned Pokémon trainer with years of battle scars and countless victories under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia as we approach the Torterra Seven-Star Tera Raid battle in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This Continent Pokémon harks back to my days in Sinnoh, battling through Diamond and Pearl, where Torterra was a formidable force to reckon with.

In November, it has been confirmed that another Seven-Star Tera Raid fight will take place in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, where trainers will face off against Torterra, the Unrivaled. This upcoming battle in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will break a long-standing trend, as it will not feature Starters from previous generations as Seven-Star Tera Raid bosses.

Originally introduced in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, the character known as Torterra is renowned as the Continent Pokemon. This Pokemon represents the final stage of evolution for Turtwig and Grotle, and it boasts a combination of Grass and Ground attributes, making it a resilient dual-type creature. Known for its toughness and adaptability in combat, Torterra’s large shell is a testament to its endurance. Its impressive health, physical attack, and defense statistics, coupled with abilities like Earthquake, Wood Hammer, and Heavy Slam, make Torterra a formidable adversary for any Pokemon squad. In the biome of Terarium’s Canyon found in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you can capture a Turtwig and then evolve it through level-ups to obtain your very own Torterra.

After the recent Tera Raid battle against Feraligatr, a new challenge within Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will emerge. As reported by Serebii.net, Torterra the Unrivaled will appear in Seven-Star Tera Raid dens starting at 7:00 PM Eastern on Thursday, November 14, until 6:59 PM Eastern on Sunday, November 17. For those who miss this initial Tera raid period, another opportunity will be available from November 21 to 24. Torterra the Unrivaled’s Tera type is Ground, and it will bestow the Mightiest Mark upon trainers who manage to defeat it. Importantly, Torterra’s appearance signifies the conclusion of an era in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, as it represents the final Starter Pokemon from previous mainline generations to appear as a Seven-Star Tera Raid boss.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Reveal Torterra Seven-Star Tera Raid Battle (Mid-November 2024)

  • Torterra the Unrivaled will appear in Seven-Star Tera Raids from November 14 to 17
  • A second round will run from November 21 to 24 for Pokemon trainers who missed the first weekend.
  • Torterra the Unrivaled will be the Tera-Ground type and carry the Mightiest Mark.
  • Grass Pokemon are recommended to weather Torterra’s strong attacks.

Similar to past leaders, Torterra the Dominant will possess a Concealed Trait that players can utilize. In this instance, Torterra will be equipped with Shell Armor, a trait that safeguards it from being struck critically. This hidden trait was showcased in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, during the March 2023 Tera battles against Samurott the Dominant during the Tera raids. However, Shell Armor can be taken away using moves such as Skill Swap, Worry Seed, and Gastro Acid. Despite losing Shell Armor, Torterra the Dominant will still be capable of employing Grass and Ground attacks, with Ground-type attacks receiving a power boost from Terastallization. Although Flying Pokemon are impervious to moves like Earthquake, Torterra can retaliate using Rock-type attacks such as Stone Edge.

Considering the Ground type Pokemon’s vulnerability to powerful Grass-type creatures, a squad including Serperior and Appletun might be beneficial. However, it remains to be seen what tactics players of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will devise over time.
