Hisuian Samurott returns to Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet for a limited-time 7-star Tera Raid Battle event. According to The Pokémon Company, the Water-Tera Type Pokémon will appear at black Tera Raid crystals from Friday, July 10, 2026, at 00:00 UTC through Thursday, July 16, 2026, at 23:59 UTC, featuring the exclusive Mightiest Mark.
How to Access the Hisuian Samurott Raid
To challenge this 7-star encounter, players must ensure their game console is synced with the latest event data. The Pokémon Company specifies that trainers must navigate to the X menu, select “Poké Portal,” choose “Mystery Gift,” and then select “Check Poké Portal News.”
Access to these high-level raids is restricted to players who have completed the game’s main story and postgame events. Alternatively, trainers who have not yet reached this stage can participate by joining a raid hosted by another player who has already unlocked the 7-star content. Once an event is active, look for sparkling pillars of light on the Paldea map, which indicate the location of Tera Raid crystals.
Strategic Rewards and Gameplay Impact
Participating in these raids offers more than just the rare Pokémon itself. Beyond the Mightiest Mark, the rewards include items for stat optimization and Tera Shards, which are essential for changing a Pokémon’s Tera Type.
