Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have had an interesting run of Tera Raid events. Until now, most of the 7-Star encounters have revolved around starters from previous games, usually with a strategically picked Tera Type that makes them tricky to take down. But now, with the impending release of DLC for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet (https://www.destructoid.com/pokemon-scarlet-violet-dlc-release-date-news-the-teal-mask/), Mewtwo is here to kick the Tera Raid intensity up a notch.
From September 1 to September 17, Mewtwo will appear as a Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. It will sport the Psychic Tera Type, so needless to say, this thing's Psychic attacks will hit hard. Normally, I would say this means Dark-type Pokemon will prevail. But if there's one thing I know about Tera Raid Pokemon, it's that they love to punish their obvious weaknesses. Aura Sphere will almost certainly appear in Mewtwo's move pool.
To help trainers prepare, Scarlet & Violet will see promotional raids throughout August that drop some key items to strengthen your team. The first encounter will appear from August 9 to August 17, with the second encounter running from August 19 to August 31. We didn't receive specifics about these raids, but I'd expect something similar to a 5-Star Blissey raid (https://www.destructoid.com/should-you-run-the-blissey-raid-event-in-pokemon-scarlet-violet/). In other words, an easy loot pi?ata for trainers to take down in a minute before claiming rewards.
If you read my older Tera Raid guides (https://www.destructoid.com/how-to-beat-the-7-star-chesnaught-tera-raid-in-pokemon-scarlet-violet/), you could probably tell how exhausted I felt after a while. The release schedule just got so fast, and I can only use Annihilape so much before it gets stale (https://www.destructoid.com/how-to-beat-the-7-star-inteleon-tera-raid-in-pokemon-scarlet-violet/). However, with legendary Pokemon entering the fray, I might dip into the scene again. This monster harassed me enough in Pokemon Stadium, so I've got a score to settle.
