Pokémon Scarlet & Violet might have been around for a really long time at this point, but there are plenty of players out there who continue to return to those games while we wait for what comes next in the series. Happily, the development team has also been quite diligent about bringing out updates to keep things interesting, from timed events to quality-of-life changes.

Despite the release of games like Pokémon Legends Z-A, Scarlet and Violet have remained relevant, even with the overall issues that fans have with them as games. Now, the latest of those events is now live, and there are plenty of reasons to get involved if you're looking for some exciting rewards for your save.

As first reported by GoNintendo, from November 13th through November 19th 23:59 UTC, players can challenge Mighty Kommo-o in 7-star Tera Raid Battles. This event is likely to be very similar to the one which ran back in July of last year, and that was well worth participating in, even for long-time players.

In confirming the news, developer Game Freak shared the following insight on the upcoming event:

"The Kommo-o appearing during this event has Fighting as its Tera Type. Be prepared—this Pokémon is a formidable foe, and it’s got the Mightiest Mark to prove it! Work together with your friends to topple this powerful Tera Pokémon!

"During the latter half of this event, Blissey will be appearing more frequently in 5-star Tera Raid Battles. These Blissey will have various Tera Types, so prepare wisely before challenging them! Defeating Blissey will yield some delightful rewards, such as various Tera Shards and bonus Exp. Candies."

So you can be totally prepared for what's to come, the Kommo-o can draw on Close Combat, Dragon Claw, Iron Head, and Boomburst as part of its moveset, with Clangorous Soul and Clanging Scales as additional moves.

The full list of base item drops is as follows:

Exp. Candy L x6

• Exp. Candy XL x4
• Protein x5
• Fighting Tera Shard x40
• Fighting Tera Shard x20
• TM167 x1

As mentioned earlier, the event is set to run until November 19, so you'll want to make sure you get in a farm before then.
