Pokemon Scarlet & Violet has not finished giving its players great gifts, since a brand new event has arrived, with a powerful creature at stake.
As usual, Nintendo is spoiling Pokemon Scarlet & Violet fans with temporary events that allow you to obtain creatures never before seen in the Paldéa region. They have the particularity of being more powerful than the others and also being more difficult to catch, even for the most experienced trainers. This time, the star is one of the starting Pokémon from the Sinnoh region.
An event not to be missed in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
After the Pokémon Fleet-Wick and Têtes-de-Fer at the beginning of January, it is the turn of Pingoleon, one of the starting monsters of the Diamond, Pearl and Platinum games, to arrive in force during a limited-time Teracristal raid. As a reminder, these special battles can be fought with other players, or with AI and are more strategic than those against ordinary wild Pokémon. They are rated with a star system which represents their strength, but be careful, as they are not available to all Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players. Raids with a single star are rather simple and are accessible as soon as the player begins the treasure hunt. On the other hand, for raids with six stars or more, you must have completed the Academy Tournament (and therefore the scenario) and won around ten other raids.
To return to Pingoléon, he was first approachable until this Sunday, February 4, at 1 a.m. The fourth generation water type Pokémon has no less than 7 stars to its credit. He will acquire the ice type during the event, as well as the Overpowered badge. However, rest assured, because if you missed it, you can try your luck again a few days later on Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: from Friday February 9, at 1 a.m., to Monday February 12, at 12:59 a.m.. Note that it can only be captured once per save.
Other surprises
During these two periods, Pingoléon will not be alone. The Pokémon Bliss will also be there. It will appear much more often during 5-star raids, a good opportunity if you don’t yet have it in your Pokédex. Once defeated, it can provide Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players with numerous rewards, such as various Tera Shards and Exp Candies. additional. All these treasures can then be resold at high prices in the various shops in the Paldéa region.
