Fans of the Pokémon series were treated to exciting updates during the recent Pokémon Presents broadcast held on February 27, 2025, where new features and special events for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were announced, building anticipation among players. Scheduled to run from February 28 to March 21, 2025, players can look forward to several limited-time events bringing fresh experiences to the game.
Among the highlights is the star level 7 raid featuring the formidable Pokémon known as "最強のウェーニバル." This exclusive event will span from March 14 to March 21, allowing trainers ample time to engage and capture this special member of the Pokémon roster. It is important to note, as detailed by game developers, only one ウェーニバル can be obtained per save file, but players can attempt the raid battle multiple times. This invites trainers to strategize their team formation carefully to excel at this high-difficulty challenge.
The raid will feature specific traits, including a water-type ウェーニバル with maximum individual values and the sought-after "さいきょうのあかし" item, significantly raising the stakes for trainers striving to obtain it. The announcement emphasized the rarity of this item, as it can only be received through this event, with past instances reporting similar exclusivity for other notable Pokémon items.
Upon the event's kickoff on February 28, trainers will also experience seasonal Pokémon outbreaks. Notably, from February 28 until March 7, two color-themed Pokémon will appear more frequently: red, green, and blue Pokémon will populate the game's maps, including locations like キタカミの里 and ブルーベリー学園. The game’s dynamics will shift for players to encounter these Pokémon, with enhanced shiny rates promising additional excitement.
During the event, trainers can maximize their chances of encountering shiny Pokémon by utilizing effective shiny hunting methods. Techniques include changing the date on their Nintendo Switch, revisiting outbreak locations, and utilizing sandwiches with specific powers to influence Pokémon appearances. Players should also leverage the new lock-on feature introduced with the latest updates, allowing for easier identification of Pokémon characteristics, including size and rarity.
To participate fully and receive updates on these raids and color-themed Pokémon events, players must frequently check the ポケポータル for the latest news and announcements. They should also have cleared the storyline to engage fully with the raid events.
The Pokémon community is buzzing with anticipation as these updates promise not only to enrich the gameplay experience but also to create new connections among trainers vying for exclusive rewards. With players strategizing and collaborating to tackle these events effectively, the spirit of community remains at the heart of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Fans are encouraged to stay updated through the official Pokémon YouTube channel as more exciting developments are expected as we approach these events. The inclusion of rewarding gameplay, competitive raiding, and unique items reflects Pokémon’s commitment to continually engaging its dedicated player base.
