Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Reveal Two New Paradox Tera Raids

by

Trainers in *Pokémon Scarlet* and *Pokémon Violet* will soon face tough new challenges with seven-star Tera Raid battles featuring Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon. Players will have a little over a week, starting October 2nd, to battle and catch these special, version-exclusive Paradox Pokémon.

After a three-month gap since the Kommo-O event in July, new challenging Tera Raid battles are coming to *Pokémon Scarlet and Violet*! Players will face Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant, both Seven-Star raids. Roaring Moon is a powerful, ancient form of Salamence, known for its strong attacks and speed. Iron Valiant is a futuristic Pokémon combining traits of Gallade and Gardevoir, with a good balance of attack types. You’ll find Iron Valiant raids in *Pokémon Violet*, while Roaring Moon will only appear in *Pokémon Scarlet*.

Seven-Star Tera Raids Are Coming Back To Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Now that the Shiny Treasures of Ruin event is over in *Pokemon Scarlet and Violet*, players have a new challenge: battling and catching Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant. According to Serebii.net, this special seven-star Tera Raid event starts on Thursday, October 2nd at 8:00 PM Eastern Time and runs until 7:59 PM Eastern Time on October 12th. Players will have a little over a week to battle either Iron Valiant or Roaring Moon, depending on their game version. Roaring Moon will be Dragon-type Tera, and Iron Valiant will be Fairy-type Tera during the battle. Defeating either of these Paradox Pokemon during the event will reward you with the Mightiest Mark.

Okay, so Dragon and Fairy types usually have pretty obvious weaknesses, right? But these new Paradox Pokemon, Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant, are smart. They’re gonna be packing moves to cover those gaps. Like, Roaring Moon is weak to Fairy and Ice, but it can hit back hard with moves like Iron Head and Earthquake. Since both of these Pokemon are really good in competitive battles, us *Pokemon Scarlet and Violet* players need to be ready for anything when we take on those tough Seven-Star Tera Raid bosses. They’re gonna throw some curveballs, for sure!

October will be a packed month for *Pokémon Scarlet and Violet* players! Alongside special battle events featuring the powerful Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon, there will be Five-Star Tera Raids with version-exclusive Paradox Pokémon like Great Tusk and Iron Treads. This comes after the recent and somewhat debated distribution of Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon.
