Get Ready for a Series of Events Featuring Special Tera Raid Battles and Mass Outbreaks!
Shiny Rayquaza will be appearing in a special Tera Raid Battle event! And that’s not all—mass outbreak events and other Tera Raid Battle events will occur both before and during Shiny Rayquaza’s Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet debut. Get an overview of this special event series below.

Shiny Rayquaza Appears in the Paldea Region!
From Friday, December 20, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 23:59 UTC, Shiny Rayquaza will be appearing in 5-star Tera Raid Battles! The Rayquaza appearing during this event has Dragon as its Tera Type.

Shiny Rayquaza cannot normally be encountered during regular gameplay, so don’t miss your chance to welcome this Legendary Pokémon into your adventuring party!

The Shiny Rayquaza appearing in this event can be caught only once per save data. As long as the event is running, you can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Rayquaza to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.

Shiny Rayquaza may be featured in future events or become obtainable through other methods.

Look for Other Black-Colored Shiny Pokémon in Mass Outbreaks!
During Shiny Rayquaza’s appearance from Friday, December 20, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 23:59 UTC, mass outbreaks of Cetoddle will be appearing throughout the Paldea region, mass outbreaks of Carbink will be appearing throughout the land of Kitakami, and mass outbreaks of Fraxure will be appearing throughout the Terarium at Blueberry Academy.

Shiny Cetoddle, Shiny Carbink, and Shiny Fraxure are more likely to appear in these special mass outbreaks, so have fun seeking out Pokémon that have black coloration when Shiny!
