Pokémon players go wild for new starter added to the game – big name raids are back

AFTER a long hiatus, seven-star raids are finally back in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Due to bugs that were added into raids, there has been a long time without any new seven-star raids being added.

Chesnaught raids were postponed, and players only just had their chance to take the bulky Pokémon down.

Now it seems that the Pokémon Raids are back in full swing following the announcement of Shiny Gimmighoul raids.

Delphox will be the next target of seven-star raids, with a Fairy-type terastylization.

Usually a Fire-/Psychic-type, it is known as being a strong and fast Special Attacker.

Fairy is the strongest typing in the game, with a number of strong resistances and immunities, and not many weaknesses.

While the move set has not been announced yet, it is sure to have a number of strong Fire-, Fairy- and Psychic-type attacks.

Delphox’s other strong point is its ability to change held items with the opponent.

This means that the usual methods for taking down seven-star raids will not be able to be used here.

It will likely steal your item at the start of the battle, making it much harder to take down.

Players think that the next seven-star raid is likely to feature Rillaboom from Pokémon Sword and Shield.

The latest Pokémon Home update has now allowed all the starters that appeared in seven-star raids to come to the game as well as Delphox and Rillaboom.

This makes it extremely likely that Rillaboom will be next on the roster.

Delphox will appear over two weekends in July, with the first being July 7 until July 9.

The second weekend it will appear is July 14 until July 16.
