How To Join Tera Raids

Before you can join an event raid, you need to make sure your game is up to date. After you've fired up your copy of either Scarlet or Violet, press the X button to open the menu, select Poke Portal, and choose Check Poke Portal News. Afterward, the latest event Pokemon should begin appearing in your game.

Once you're up to date, you'll be able to find event raid dens across the Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Academy regions. Unlike most other events, the shiny Treasures of Ruin will be five-star raid bosses, so they shouldn't be quite as challenging as other special raids. However, you'll still have the best chance of success if you team up with other players online.

How To Claim Mystery Gifts

Once the Mystery Gift distributions begin, you need to launch your copy of Scarlet or Violet and follow these steps to claim the shiny legendary Pokemon:

Press X to open the menu
Select Poke Portal
Select Mystery Gift, then choose Get via Internet
Select the gift you want to claim
Save your game

A few other bonuses may also be available depending on how successful players are. For every 100,000 victories that players achieve after the initial one million goal is met, The Pokemon Company will give out a Tera Shard Set that contains 40 Tera Shards.

If you miss your chance to participate in these raid events, you may yet have another opportunity to get the shiny Treasures of Ruin. The Pokemon Company says that these legendary Pokemon "may be featured in future events or become obtainable through other methods."

The shiny Treasures of Ruin events will lead up to the release of the series' next installment, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which launches for both the original Switch and the Switch 2 on October 16. The upcoming title is set entirely within Lumiose City, which is undergoing a redevelopment plan to make it more habitable for both people and Pokemon. You can read more about the game in our roundup of everything we know about Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
