Mewtwo Will Star In The Next Pokémon Scarlet & Violet 7-Star Tera Raid Battle Event

Mewtwo Raids were very much expected given the neon purple teaser in the Presents announcement video so I'm not too surprised to see it basically confirmed here.

What I AM interested in however is the fact that Pokemon TCG is being featured in the top-left corner of that newsletter as well. Every other image featured is NSO stuff related to July/August (Oracle games on NSO, Splatoon 3 Splatfests, Mewtwo Raids, etc.), so to have the TCG game there as well when we don't have an exact release date for it seems to imply it's going to be releasing very soon (shadow-drop after the Presents perhaps?).

@IceClimbersMain I know TCG was one of the games announced in the initial lineup of games coming to GB NSO, but Pokemon themselves potentially announcing it in tomorrow's Presents gives me major hope that they might do the same for Gens 1, 2 and maybe 3 since they announced the Virtual Console releases of RBY and GSC in previous Pokemon Directs.

@Lord (forgive the incoming text vomit, this one takes a bit to explain)

7-Star Raids are event exclusive versions of the already exisiting 6-Star Raids. In order to unlock 6-Star Raids, you have to beat the main 4 storylines of SV (the 4th one unlocks after beating the first 3) then go on a post-game scouting mission across the region where you challenge a certain number of Raid Dens and rematch the previous Gym Leaders. Once you have that taken care of, Jacq should give you a call letting you know a 6-Star Raid has popped up somewhere on the map (the glowing black Tera icon on said map is the giveaway as to where it is). After you get that notification, all you need to do is defeat the raid and 6/7-Star Raids will be available once-per-day

@Lord The gyms you have to do will be marked on the map at their designated locations. Once you beat them, the marker goes away, signifying that they don't need to be fought again.

Also any Pokeball has a 100% catch-rate in raids so use whatever ball you think works best; it'll catch it regardless of what happens

Will do this raid together with my sister and her boyfriend as usual, fingers crossed as the Rillaboom one was the toughest one for us so far!
@Fizza Off topic, but I see you haven't wasted time changing your pfp to your new favorite Pokémon character, looks great (both the pfp and the character)!

A free Mew that's a random Tera Type is a brilliant idea, and (from what I've heard) it actually gets a damage buff against this upcoming Mewtwo Raid which is even cooler. I've shockingly enough never owned a Mew before myself (the last distribution for one was through the Poke Ball + and I am NOT forking over €50 for a Mew) so I'm definitely going to grab this when I have the time!

also that's a brilliant tagline

@JohnnyMind Adaman's one of my favourite Pokemon characters in the series so I was (/still am!!!) losing my goddamn MIND that we actually have an official descendant of him in the modern games (especially one that looks as incredible as Perrin does!).

@Greatluigi I'm in a similar situation, haven't finished Scarlet either although in my case despite playing it at least once a week because I'm busy playing other games at the same time!

@Fizza When I played Legends Arceus (still have to play more of it, but at least finished it) I went with Irida, but Adaman is great as well and couldn't agree more about Perrin!

@Zeroo Pretty sure you can (though good luck trying to join one with SV's online menu lag ☠).

@Zeroo With friends for sure as that's how I've been able to do these raids so far despite not having finished the game yet.
@Lady_Galadhiel I also got Poison, but I have Scarlet while my sister who has Violet got Grass! Would be nice if Nintendo Life made a poll to see what types other people on this site got.
