POKÉMON has announced its upcoming seven-star tera raid.
As fans were predicting, it completes the trio of starters from Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Typhlosion is one of Pokémon’s favourite ever starters.
Typhlosion is the next target of tera raids, but there is an interesting twist on the last two.
Decidueye was a Flying tera-type, which is different to its Hisuian Fighting-type form.
Equally, Samurott was not Dark-type like its Hisuian form, but Bug tera-type.
However, Typhlosion will carry the same type as its Hisuian form, the Ghost type.
Like the other raids, Typhlosion’s raid is a limited time raid which will take place over two weekends.
The first run will take place from Friday, April 14, 2023, until Sunday, April 16, 2023.
Typhlosion will appear again from Friday, April 21, 2023, until Sunday, April 23, 2023.
This raid is the only way players can currently obtain Typhlosion, as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet cannot currently be connected to Pokémon Home.
Home is an online app used by a number of players to transfer Pokémon across games.
It is likely that Pokémon will delay the Home release so that online competitive battles are limited to ‘mons from the Paldean Pokédex.
Once the raids are over, Typhlosion will be gone for good, though you can often pick up Cyndaquil following the event via Mystery Trades.
During and after the event, trainers often breed Cyndaquil in order to obtain a Shiny one.
After this, they will trade away all of the other Cyndaquil via Mystery Trade.
You will need Nintendo Switch Online in order to trade Pokémon online, but you will eventually find one with this method after the event.
