To start Pokémon Day off right, the Pokémon Company has unleashed brand new Pokémon Presents to start the year of Pokémon off right, and updates for existing titles, as well as a brand new one, have been announced.
February 27 is the day Pokémon Red and Green was released in Japan in 1996, and subsequently, it has been coined Pokémon Day. For the past 28 years, The Pokémon Company has used today as a turning point to announce the exciting new developments in the world of Pokémon for the upcoming year. This time, they’ve even released a new Pokémon Presents to commemorate the occasion, and fans can watch it just below.
Pokémon Presents: Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Battle Event
The new Tera raid battle event starts tomorrow, and it features the final evolutions of the very first starter trio: Venusaur, Blastoise and Charizard. The Mighty Venusaur event is up first, and while it starts tomorrow February 28, it will end on March 5. The next event features a Mighty Blastoise and it starts March 6 (right after the Venusaur event concludes) and runs until March 12. On March 13, Charizard returns with the Unrivaled mark to tera raids, allowing fans to catch a Mighty Charizard, and will conclude on March 17. Fans will need either Pokémon Scarlet or Violet to attempt these battles, and if previous tera raid events are any indication, fans will also need some serious strategy to defeat these raids.
