Pokémon Scarlet and Violetwill receive an update that will prompt many Trainers to return to Paldea for the upcoming month, as you will get a chance to get a rare bundle of rewards. Even though they were released nearly three years ago,the Generation 9 titles are still receiving updates, especially when it comes to content. you’re able to tackle various Tera Raid events and Outbreaks, for example. However, Nintendo has also been making an investment into quality, such as thePokémon Scarlet and VioletFPS updatefor Switch 2.
This patch makes the games run smoother than ever before, which is appreciated, considering how problematic the titles are on the original version of Switch.Gen 9 is about to get an expansion with the upcoming release ofPokémon Legends: Z-A, which will be set in Lumiose City, and after that, it’s expected that the core series will move onto the highly anticipatedrelease ofPokémon’s Gen 10 games, perhaps in a year or two.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Introduces Shiny Treasures Of Ruin Legendaries
These Gen 9 Legendaries Were Previously Shiny Locked
For now, however, you should consider revisiting Paldea in Gen 9, as there are special events coming. Announced by Nintendo during the Pokémon Presents event on the officialPokémonchannel on Twitch,Pokémon Scarlet and Violetwill introduce the Shiny versions of the Treasures of Ruin Legendary creatures. You will be able to obtain these Shiny Legendaries, which were originallyShiny locked inPokémon Scarlet and Violet, by engaging in Tera Raid battles.
To obtain the Shiny versions of Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu, you will have to play through their respective Tera Raid events starting on July 23 through September 14 (each Pokémon will be available in Tera Raids for two weeks). Furthermore, simply defeating theTreasures of Ruin inPokémon Scarlet and Violetwon’t be enough.Collectively, players will have to meet or exceed one million victories in the Tera Raid battles for each of the Legendaries.
Shiny Legendary Tera Raid Events Will Keep Me Entertained For Hours, After Nearly Two Years
It’s Unclear If Shiny Treasures Of Ruin Will Be Made Available Again Any Time Soon
Seeing that, collectively, the community has to ensure one million victories for each Legendary so as to unlock the respective free Shiny Treasures of Ruin in the game, I’ll be investing some time into the Tera Raids.This will likely be the most I’ve played ofScarlet and Violetafter nearly two years, when I essentially put the Gen 9 games aside.
The table below specifies the period for each Treasures of Ruin Tera Raid event in the Gen 9 games:
September 1 - September 14
Shiny Legendaries can be tough to unlock, and I deeply regret missing the Shiny Zeraora Max Raid Battle event inPokémon Sword and Shield. With the upcoming event, I won’t let history repeat itself and ensure I obtain the Shiny versions of the Treasures of Ruin, as I don’t know when they’ll be made available again, be it inPokémon Scarlet and Violetor not.
