As a seasoned gamer with years of Pokemon battles under my belt, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement upon learning that Incineroar will be the next Seven-star Tera Raid boss in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starting September 5th. The fiery Starter has always been a formidable opponent, and I’ve had my fair share of battles against it in the past.


After the Dragonite Tera Raids, it was revealed in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that the next seven-star Tera Raid boss will be Incineroar, the fiery Starter. This upcoming battle marks a new Tera Raid fight featuring a Starter for the first time in over two months since Sceptile the Unrivaled was last featured.

Originally introduced in the games Pokemon Sun and Moon, the character known as Incineroar is famously referred to as the Heel Pokemon. This fierce creature is the final form of both Litten and Torracat, and its dual-type (Fire and Dark) resembles professional wrestlers who take on the “heel” or villainous role in the ring. Despite being driven by audience responses and enjoying tough opponents, Incineroar also has a tender side for younger fans, often going out of its way to help them. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you can acquire Incineroar by catching a Litten within The Terarium’s Canyon Biome and then evolving it through leveling up.

As the Dragonite Seven-Star Tera Raids wind down, players of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are eagerly awaiting their next big battle. Based on reports from Serebii.net, the seven-star raid fight against Incineroar the Unrivaled will commence on Thursday, September 5, at 8:00 PM Eastern, and conclude on Sunday, September 8, at 7:59 PM Eastern. A rematch is scheduled for the following week, from September 12 to 15, offering players another opportunity to conquer this Heel Pokemon. Much like Primarina, Incineroar the Unrivaled will feature one of its native types as its Tera Type; in this instance, it will be a Tera-Dark type and bestow the Mightiest Mark upon Pokemon that can defeat it.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Reveal Incineroar Tera Raid Battle

In line with the pattern set by other Starter Pokemon raid bosses, it’s expected that Incineroar the Dominant will initially have its Concealed Talent ability, which reduces the physical attack strength of opponents at the onset of battle. This is one factor that makes Incineroar a formidable adversary in ranked battles within the Pokemon universe. When it comes to moveset, the Heel-type Pokemon can employ potent physical attacks such as Darkest Lariat, Flare Blitz, Earthquake, and Close Combat to overpower its opponents. As a Dark-type Pokemon, Incineroar the Dominant is resistant to Psychic damage but weak against Fairy and Fighting attacks.

In the approaching Pokémon Scarlet and Violet raid battle, Pokémon resembling fairies such as Dachsbun, who are generally immune to Incineroar’s attacks, could play a pivotal role. It’s yet uncertain what strategies trainers will devise in the time leading up to the event.
