Tera Raid Event: Drifblim and Mismagius

Learn about the special Tera Raid event featuring Drifblim in Pokemon Scarlet and Mismagius in Pokemon Violet. Get tips for these challenging raids!

Hey there! So, you're looking to take on some special Tera Raid battles in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? We've got the lowdown on the Drifblim and Mismagius event raids. These can be a bit tricky, so let's get you prepped!

Drifblim: Scarlet Tera Raid

In Pokémon Scarlet, you'll be able to find Drifblim showing up in 4 and 5-star Tera Raids. Keep in mind that for the 4-star raids, Drifblim's Tera Type will be random. For the 5-star raids, there's a 50/50 chance it'll be a random Tera Type or a specific one. Drifblim is a Ghost and Flying type, so it's likely to hit hard with moves of those types. It's a good idea to have Pokémon that resist Ghost and Flying attacks ready to go!

Mismagius: Violet Tera Raid

Over in Pokémon Violet, Mismagius will be the star of the show in 4 and 5-star Tera Raids. Just like with Drifblim, the 4-star raids will feature a random Tera Type for Mismagius. For the 5-star raids, you've got a 50% chance of it being random and a 50% chance of it being a specific Tera Type. Mismagius is a pure Ghost type, so expect it to pack a punch with its Ghost-type moves. Make sure you bring some Pokémon that can stand up to Ghost-type attacks!

General Tips for these Raids:

• Type Matchups are Key: Since both Drifblim and Mismagius are Ghost-types (Drifblim also Flying), Pokémon with Dark, Ghost, or other strong offensive types against them will be super helpful. However, be careful! Ghost-types are weak to Dark, but they resist Bug and Poison. Flying-types are weak to Rock, Electric, and Ice, but resist Grass, Fighting, and Bug.
• Watch for Strong Moves: Both Pokémon are likely to have powerful STAB (Same-Type Attack Bonus) moves. Pay attention to what moves they're charging up and be ready to defend or dodge.
• Team Up: These are 4 and 5-star raids, so they can be tough! Bringing a well-balanced team with good defensive and offensive capabilities is crucial. Don't be afraid to use support moves if your Pokémon can learn them.
• Tera Types Matter: Remember that the Tera Type can change things up! A Drifblim with a Fire Tera Type will have different weaknesses than a standard Ghost/Flying one. Always check the Tera Type before going in if possible, or be prepared to adapt.

Good luck taking on these special Tera Raids! Let us know how you do!
