Get ready to add these Pokémon to your team and earn tons of items for raising your Pokémon.
Iron Bundle in 7-Star Tera Raid Battles
An Iron Bundle with the Mightiest Mark is coming to Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet black crystal Tera Raid Battles from Thursday, December 21, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. PST to Sunday, December 24, 2023, at 3:59 p.m. PST. This Paradox Pokémon cannot normally be encountered in Pokémon Scarlet, but the Ice–Tera Type Iron Bundle appearing during this event can be encountered in both versions of the game. Be prepared—this Pokémon is a formidable foe, and it’s got the Mightiest Mark to prove it!
For the opportunity to encounter this Pokémon in Tera Raid Battles, you’ll need to have downloaded the latest Poké Portal News. You can do this by selecting Poké Portal from the X menu, then Mystery Gift, then Check Poké Portal News. After that, whenever you see a sparkling pillar of light shining from a Tera Raid crystal, you can walk up to the crystal and interact with it to start a Tera Raid Battle with a Tera Pokémon.
To challenge this Ice–Tera Type Iron Bundle with the Mightiest Mark, Trainers will need to either complete the postgame events that follow the main story or join a 7-star Tera Raid Battle hosted by a Trainer who has completed those events. This special Iron Bundle can be caught only once per save data. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Iron Bundle if you’ve already caught it to obtain other rewards—including significant amounts of Exp. Candy for leveling up your Pokémon, treasures that can be sold at Pokémon Centers, items for improving your Pokémon’s stats, and Ice Tera Shards for changing your Pokémon’s Tera Type.
Be warned: this Ice–Tera Type Iron Bundle is certain to put up a tough fight.

Blissey in 5-Star Tera Raid Battles
Don’t miss your chance to battle some generous Blissey! While Iron Bundle is appearing at black Tera Raid crystals, Blissey will be appearing more frequently in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet 5-star Tera Raid Battles. These Blissey will have various Tera Types, so prepare wisely before challenging them!
Defeating these Blissey will yield some delightful rewards, such as bonus Exp. Candies and Tera Shards of different Tera Types—which you can use to change your Pokémon’s Tera Type at the Treasure Eatery in Medali for 50 Tera Shards of a single Tera Type. And if you’ve obtained the Glimmering Charm from Jacq—which can be accomplished by completing the Kitakami Pokédex in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask—you’ll be rewarded with even MORE Tera Shards!
Happy holidays, Trainers!
