Greninja has been announced as the boss of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s third seven-star Tera Raid Event. As part of the event, the water-type starter will be available to capture for the first time in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet heavily rely on Tera Raids, and five- and six-star raids are excellent methods to get Herba Mystica, a sort of item that is essential for aspiring shiny hunters. While most raids can be completed alone as long as players have a decent, hard-hitting Pokemon, the latest inclusion of seven-star raids is a very other beasts. These raids, which began with the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Charizard Tera Raid Event, are significantly more challenging than regular raids, but they allow players to capture Pokemon that are otherwise unavailable in the most recent set of games.
Serebii Update: The next 7 Star Tera Raid Battle has been fully revealed. Battle against Poison Tera Type Greninja.
Runs from January 27th through January 29th and February 10th through February 12th

Greninja, the poison Tera-type, will be the boss of the third and most recent seven-star Tera Raid Event. With Greninja being one of the most popular starting Pokemon in history, many gamers anticipated it to join Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in the newest Tera Raid, and in doing so would also imply Froakie and Frogadier will become attainable via breeding. The event will take place from 00:00 UTC on January 27th, 2023 until 23:59 UTC on January 29th, 2023. It will then be repeated at the same hours between February 10th and February 12th, 2023. During this period, players will be able to get Greninja by defeating it in battle in specific Tera Raid dens displayed on their map.
As is customary during seven-star raids, every Greninja available as part of the event will have the Mightiest Mark. This implies that the player can only capture one Greninja per save file, although they may still trade with other people through online play. Slowbro was the Cinderace Tera Raid Event’s surprising hero, although it would likely struggle against Greninja owing to the latter’s fondness for hard-hitting Dark-type attacks while swapping its immunity to psychic abilities for susceptibility to them due to its Poison Tera-typing.
Greninja also has an advantage against the greatest Azumarill Raid Build, possibly being able to attack the creature super-effectively with Gunk Shot to prevent it from utilising Belly Drum early on. Its Tera Poison type also allows it to resist Iron Hands’ Drain Punch, implying that players will need to devise new methods for the upcoming seven-star raid. However, until Greninja’s complete move set becomes public knowledge after the event’s start, it is unknown what they will be.
