Face a Mighty Sceptile!

Tera Raid Battles

Catch a Sceptile with the Mightiest Mark!

Sceptile is appearing in black crystal Tera Raid Battles! You can try catching Sceptile from from Thursday, June 27, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Sunday, June 30, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. PDT, then again from Thursday, July 4, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Sunday, July 7, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. PDT.

Sceptile cannot normally be encountered in Paldea, and the Sceptile appearing during this event has Dragon as its Tera Type. Be prepared—this Pokémon is a formidable foe, and it’s got the Mightiest Mark to prove it! Work together with your friends to topple this powerful Tera Pokémon!

During the latter half of this event—from Thursday, July 4, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Sunday, July 7, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. PDT—Blissey will be appearing more frequently in 5-star Tera Raid Battles. These Blissey will have various Tera Types, so prepare wisely before challenging them! Defeating Blissey will yield some delightful rewards, such as various Tera Shards and bonus Exp. Candies.

This special Sceptile can be caught only once per save data. If you caught this Sceptile previously during a Tera Raid Battle event, you cannot catch it again. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Sceptile to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.

This Sceptile may be featured in future events or become obtainable through other methods.
