If you are still logging into Pokémon Scarlet or Violet, your August calendar just filled up. Four consecutive 7-Star Tera Raid Battle events were confirmed today, running weekly from 7 August all the way through 3 September — one rare boss per week, each with its own Mass Outbreak to farm alongside it.
The Full August–September 7-Star Raid Schedule
Here is the confirmed schedule announced by The Pokémon Company via Serebii:
- August 7–13 — Glimmora (Grass Tera Type): The crystalline poison-rock Pokémon gets a Grass Tera boost. Mass Outbreaks will bring boosted shiny rates for Glimmet and Glimmora across Paldea and Kitakami.
- August 14–20 — Annihilape (Ghost Tera Type): The Rage Fist specialist receives a Ghost Tera twist. Expect increased Angry Mark encounters for Mankey, Primeape, and Annihilape during the accompanying outbreak.
- August 21–27 — Farigiraf (Fairy Tera Type): The tall, psychic giraffe goes Fairy this time. The Mass Outbreak during this period has boosted Intellectual Mark chances for Girafarig and Farigiraf.
- August 28–September 3 — Kingambit (Dark Tera Type): The king of the Bisharp line closes out the run as a Dark Tera boss. Charismatic Mark appearances are elevated for Pawniard, Bisharp, and Kingambit throughout.
All four 7-Star Tera Raid Pokémon can be battled as many times as you like but only caught once per save file — so clear the raid before hunting the mark-boosted outbreak if you want both the Tera version and a marked specimen.
The Bonus Marks Are the Real Prize
The Mark system adds a surprise layer of value to these weeks. Angry Mark on a wild Annihilape, Intellectual Mark on a Farigiraf, Charismatic Mark on a Kingambit — these all give your Pokémon an extra title in battle and are genuinely rare under normal outbreak conditions. The boosted windows are exactly the time to stock up on your mark-hunting kit (Picnics, Sandwiches with a Catching Power boost) and grind for ribbon-worthy catches alongside the 7-Star clears.
Worth Knowing: Legends: Z-A Ranked Battles Also Start 6 August
If you have already moved on to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Ranked Battle Season 15 kicks off on 6 August and runs through 27 August. This season is restricted to Water-type Pokémon only, with Mega Stones among the rewards for hitting certain ranks — a compact meta that rewards tight team building. Both games give you plenty to grind for heading into August.
