The raids will be time-limited, so if you want to catch the pseudo-legends with the rare Tera type, don’t miss this chance.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Tyranitar and Salamence raids in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raids: Tyranitar and Salamence

The Tyranitar and Salamence raids are happening this weekend 9th of December at 12 o’clock British time until 11th December at 11:59 p.m.

That means you have three full days to try and take on the raids.

Both pseudo-legendary Pokémon will appear in both Four and five star raidsand are viewed frequently, giving a better chance of finding them online.

Each Pokemon’s Tera type will be random, but since both have a quadruple weakness, people will be looking for types that resist those weaknesses.

Good types would be Ghost-Type for Tyranitar and Fire-Type for Salamence.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Tips to beat Tyranitar and Salamence in Raids

We’ve got general tips for Tera Raids, as well as a list of the best Pokemon to use. So if you’re not sure, try reading them first.

Unlike the Charizard raid, which is always Dragon-type, these raids are randomized, making them a bit more difficult to plan.

However, they have lower ratings, so should be a bit easier to beat.

Both of these Pokemon are physical attackers, so it’s important that you have a Pokemon that can withstand powerful physical attacks.

Tyranitar will likely use Ground, Rock, and Dark-type moves, so bring Pokemon that resist those.

Your choice depends on the Pokemon’s Tera type, but Breloom resists all of those types. Other grass species like Meowscrada might come in handy.

Salamence can also have a variety of special attacks that make it difficult to deal with, but it will likely have Dragon, Flying, and possibly Fire-type attacks.

This also depends on the Tera type, so a bulky Pokemon like Iron Hands or Azumarill will come in handy.
