What time does the Unrivaled Serperior Tera Raid event start and end in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Serperior is slithering its way into seven-star Tera Raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet for a limited time for players to catch it with the rare Mightiest Mark.

It took a while, but Unrivaled Serperior Tera Raids are finally coming to the Paldea region. This Serperior comes equipped with the Grass Tera Type, boosting its strongest Grass-type attacks and making it an overall menace to deal with. Expect some interesting shenanigans with its Hidden Ability, Contrary, which turns all of Serperior’s stat decreases into stat boosts.

And like other seven-star raid bosses, the Gen V Grass Starter won’t be easy to take down without some preparation on your end. Just make sure you’re ready to challenge it before the event ends. Here’s when you can face and capture Unrivaled Serperior in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

When is the seven-star Serperior Tera Raid event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Seven-star Serperior Tera Raids are taking over September 2024 with two event periods this month.

• Unrivaled Serperior Tera Raids will first appear in Scarlet and Violet’s Paldea region from Thursday, Sept. 19 at 7:00pm CT to Sunday, Sept. 22 at 6:59pm CT.
• The seven-star raids will make their second appearance from Thursday, Sept. 26 at 7:00pm CT to Sunday, Sept. 29 at 6:59pm CT.

Following the trend of recent seven-star Tera Raid events, Unrivaled Serperior will be accompanied by five-star Blissey Tera Raids to give players a quick and easy way to farm items like Exp. Candies and Tera Shards. Those items are especially nice to have when training up strong counters to bring to these challenging seven-star raids, so stock up while you can. This is the perfect opportunity for me, since I’ve been running low on Exp. Candies to level up all my Pokémon.
