The special Tera Raid event featuring the Paradox Pokemon Sandy Shocks and Iron Thorns has ended!
Sandy Shocks and Iron Thorns would appear in Tera Raid crystals depending on whether you have Pokemon Scarlet or Pokemon Violet. This 5-Star Raid Event is similar to the previous Flutter Mane and Iron Jugulis Raid Event!
While the above pictured Sandy Shocks and Iron Thorns have the Poison and Grass Tera Types respectively, various other Tera Types were available for capture during the event.
Despite the appearance of Raid Crystals in the Land of Kitakami and the Terarium, the Event Raid Crystals will not appear in either Kitakami or Terarium, meaning players must return to Paldea to find Sandy Shocks and Iron Thorns raid dens.
