In an exciting announcement, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have revealed the long-awaited return of two highly-requested Paradox Pokémon as five-star raid bosses. Following a hiatus from Tera raid content, players can now prepare to encounter the elusive Walking Wake and Iron Leaves once again.
The reappearance of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves comes hot on the heels of the recent Tera raid battle event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. These formidable adversaries, last seen during the 2023 winter holiday season, will offer trainers another opportunity to capture them. As two of the rarest Paradox Pokémon in the games, Walking Wake will make its exclusive appearance in Pokémon Scarlet, while Iron Leaves will emerge solely in Pokémon Violet. This setup necessitates collaboration among trainers, who must engage in trades or host online Tera raid battles to enable players from the opposite game to capture these sought-after Pokémon.
Drawing inspiration respectively from the Legendary Pokémon Suicune and Virizion, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves possess formidable abilities known as Protosynthesis and Quark Drive, which enhance their combat prowess. Much like their legendary counterparts, Walking Wake is part of a trio alongside Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt, while Iron Leaves is accompanied by Iron Crown and Iron Boulder.
According to information provided by Serebii.net, the Tera raid battles featuring Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will commence on Thursday, April 25, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time and conclude on Sunday, May 5, at 7:59 PM Eastern Time. Trainers should be prepared for intense battles as Walking Wake will wield the Water type as its Tera attribute, while Iron Leaves will possess a Tera-Psychic alignment. These Pokémon will kick off the encounter with Sunny Day and Electric Terrain moves, activating their abilities and enhancing their offensive capabilities.
However, there is a limitation to be aware of: only one Walking Wake and one Iron Leaves can be captured per save file in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet. Nonetheless, trainers who have previously obtained these Pokémon need not fret, as defeating them in battle will still yield valuable rewards. Both Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will drop Tera Shards, EXP Candies, and lucrative items such as Nuggets and Pearl Strings, which can be sold for currency.
While the return of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves is undoubtedly cause for celebration among Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players, speculation abounds regarding the possibility of other Legendary Pokémon joining the fray as Tera Raid bosses. As trainers gear up for these epic encounters, the Pokémon community eagerly anticipates what other surprises may lie in store.
In conclusion, the reintroduction of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Tera raids offers trainers a chance to test their skills and bolster their collections. With limited opportunities to capture these elusive Paradox Pokémon, trainers must seize the moment and embark on this thrilling adventure. As the Tera raid battles unfold, all eyes are on the horizon, eagerly awaiting the next evolution in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s dynamic gameplay experience.
