The event will run from October 3, 2025 (00:00 UTC) up until October 12, 2025 (11:59 UTC) a few days just before Pokemon Legends Z-A releases!
Iron Valiant with the Mightiest Mark, the featured Pokemon for this event, can only be caught once. However, you could still participate in this event even after you've caught Iron Valiant if you wanted to get more of its rewards.
Just like Iron Leaves, the Iron Valiant Raid can only be encountered natively in Pokemon Violet Version. Scarlet players need to connect to someone with Pokemon Violet to enter the opposite game's Iron Valiant raids.

All Raid Power Sandwich Recipes

Iron Valiant normally cannot be found in Paldea, making the 7-Star Event Iron Valiant quite the catch, but you have to fight it in a Black Crystal Tera Raid.
These raids are tough, so trainers will have to prepare in advance. It's also recommended to complete the post-game before you participate. Players who are in earlier points of the game can still join via Link Code, but it is highly discouraged since these 7-Star raids will be extremely difficult.
How to Unlock 6-Star Raids and List of Pokemon

Remember that Black Tera Raid symbols on the map do not come in any other color except black. Meanwhile, normal Tera Raid symbols are colored according to the Tera Type of the Pokemon in them.
When you're looking for the Tera Raid with the 7-Star Iron Valiant, keep your eyes peeled for a Black Tera Raid symbol on the map with the Fairy-type icon.
Black Crystal Tera Raid Battles

You are able to join Event Raid Dens online. When the event is live, you can use our Tera Raid Board to coordinate a team to take it down!

To participate in the event with other players, you must have a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership, which is bought separately from the game.
Multiplayer Modes: All New Co-Op Adventure and Connectivity Options
Trainers must also make sure they have the latest version of Poke Portal News in their game. This should automatically download if your Switch is connected to the Internet.
