Aside from some legendary monsters (https://www.destructoid.com/challenge-mewtwo-as-a-pokemon-scarlet-violet-tera-raid-in-september/) and surprisingly strong event battles (https://www.destructoid.com/how-to-defeat-the-7-star-pikachu-tera/), Pokemon Scarlet & Violet loves pitting players against starter Pokemon from previous generations in Tera Raid battles. And this weekend, it seems like we'll return to that standard with a slight twist. As the next 7-Star Tera Raid event, all Pokemon Scarlet & Violet trainers will face off against Hisuian Decidueye.
According to the official Pokemon account (https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1708632895395438791) on Twitter, the Hisuian Decidueye Tera Raid will utilize the Grass Tera Type. By default it's a Grass/Fighting-Type hybrid, though its movepool has a lot of potential coverage. So while several Pokemon fare well against Grass-Types (https://www.destructoid.com/all-grass-type-pokemon-weaknesses-and-strategy/), you may need to wait until we know its attacks to form an optimal counter. Like past 7-Star raids, this one will feature the Mightiest Mark that gives it the "Unrivaled" title if you catch it, which is a nice perk for hardcore collectors.
This isn?t the first time we?ve seen Decidueye in a Tera Raid. In fact, the last time (https://www.destructoid.com/how-to-beat-the-7-star-decidueye-tera-raid-in-pokemon-scarlet-violet/) we saw this ?mon in Scarlet & Violet was last March. However, this one is specifically the Hisuian variant from Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
This raid will be available in two date ranges: October 5 at 9:00 a.m. JST / 8:00 p.m. EST to October 9 at 8:59 a.m. JST / 7:59 p.m. EST, and then again on October 12 at 9:00 a.m. JST / 8:00 p.m. EST to October 15 at 8:59 a.m. JST / 7:59 p.m. EST. Whether you challenge Hisuian Decidueye this weekend or next weekend, best of luck!
