A Seasonal Event Featuring Dondozo and Tatsugiri!

Get ready for a second serving of special Tera Raid Battles and mass outbreaks! From Thursday, July 25, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Thursday, August 8, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. PDT, Water–Tera Type Dondozo with the Mightiest Mark will be appearing in 7-star Tera Raid Battles while Curly Form Tatsugiri, Droopy Form Tatsugiri, and Stretchy Form Tatsugiri will be appearing in mass outbreaks across various locations.

Tera Raid Battle Event

During this event, Dondozo with the Mightiest Mark will be appearing at black Tera Raid crystals. The Dondozo appearing during this event has Water as its Tera Type. Be prepared—this Pokémon is a formidable foe, and it’s got the Mightiest Mark to prove it! Work together with your friends to topple this powerful Tera Pokémon!

This special Dondozo can be caught only once per save data. If you caught this Dondozo previously during a Tera Raid Battle event, you cannot catch it again. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Dondozo to obtain other rewards if you’ve already caught it.

This Dondozo may be featured in future events or become obtainable through other methods.
