Blaziken, Fan-Favorite Pokémon, Added to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Pokémon fans, get ready for some exciting news! Pokémon has just unveiled a new super-powerful beast that will be making its way into the game. Blaziken, a fan-favorite Pokémon, will be the next target of Scarlet & Violet raids.
Grab Blaziken in Seven-Star Raids
If you've been longing to add Blaziken to your Pokémon collection, now is your chance! Blaziken will be available in seven-star raids for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players. But be warned, it won't be an easy task to catch this rare Pokémon.
Two Chances to Catch Blaziken
Blaziken will be available for a limited time in two separate weekends. The first opportunity to catch Blaziken is from Friday, January 12, 2024, until Sunday, January 14, 2024. If you miss out, don't worry! Blaziken will make a return from Friday, January 19, 2024, until Sunday, January 21, 2024.
A Rare Pokémon for Base Game Players
If you only own the base game of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, this will be your first chance to grab Blaziken. Previously, Blaziken was only available in the Indigo Disk DLC, but now it will be accessible to all players.
Blaziken's Unique Abilities
Blaziken is usually a Fire-/Fighting-type Pokémon, but it will come with the Flying Tera type in this new super-powerful form. Additionally, it possesses the ability Speed Boost, which makes it incredibly strong and faster than other Pokémon.
More Limited-Time Raids and Updates to Come
Blaziken's raid marks the return of limited-time battles in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Players can expect a new seven-star raid every two weeks, so be sure to stay updated for future opportunities. Before the raid, players can also look forward to a free content drop for those who own the DLC, with an epilogue and new story content being released on Thursday, January 11, 2024.
