Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s next 7-star Tera Raid features Greninja
It’s the first chance players will get to catch one
The Pokémon set to be featured in Scarlet and Violet’s upcoming 7-star Tera Raid has been revealed.
As reported by Serebii, the event will allow players to fight and catch a Greninja.

In VGC’s Pokémon Scarlet and Violet review, we said the games were the most feature-rich Pokémon titles in years but suffered from technical issues.
“The huge expansion and changes to the single player campaign are great, the size of the world and the joy of exploration are the best in the series, and the new Pokemon and battle mechanics introduced all sing,” we wrote.
