It’s gonna bug you
Ever since the fateful Pikachu celebration, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have been on a tear with event content. We just finished a sweet and easy Blissey raid that ran concurrently with the fight against Decidueye, and already our next 7-Star challenge is on the 𓃲horizon.
『ポケットモンスター スカーレット・バイオレット』の★7の黒い結晶のテラレイドバトルに「最強のダイケンキ」が襲来決定!
むしテラスタイプで、強力なポケモンだよ!
出現予定の期間など、ゲーム内最新情報はこちら!— ポケモン公式 (@Pokemon_cojp)
Via the official Japanese Pokemon Twitter account, Samurott will join Paldea from March 31st to April 2nd. These dates are based on UTC, so the event will go live by 8:00pm Eastern Time on March 30th. Samurott continues the tradition of introducing a starter from a previous game as a 7-Star event, this time giving Generation 5 some love. As usual, you’ll only be able to catch one Samurott while the encounter is live. Of course, you can continue 🧸to run the fight to help friends and farm materials.
Samurott will feature the Bug Tera Type, giving us early insight into what Pokemon will work best as counters. Flying-Type Pokemon should excel here, as they are effective against bugs while taking neutral damage from Water-Type attacks. Samurott will almost assuredly be a physical attacker, as it can’t learn any Bug-Type moves that scale with Special Attack. That said, it could be a mixed attacker similar to Greninja. We won’t know for sure until t♌he event goes live.
If you can’t challenge Samurott, the encounter will rerun the following week from April 7th to April 9th. Walking Wake and Iron🎉 Leaves will also return soon, so stay tuned as we learn more about the upcoming event schedule for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
