Fire up your Poke Balls, trainers! The next Seven-Star Tera Raid event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ignites this June with Emboar the Unrivaled taking center stage. This fiery foe, known as the Mega Fire Pig Pokemon, will challenge your battling prowess with its impressive health, high attack power, and an electrifying twist – an Electric-type Tera Type!
Debuting in Pokemon Black and White as the final evolution of the beloved Fire-type starter Tepig, Emboar holds a unique distinction. It’s the last Fire-type starter to boast the dual typing of Fire and Fighting, alongside Blaziken and Infernape. While packing a serious offensive punch, Emboar’s Achilles’ heel lies in its lower defense and speed. Think of it as a ‘glass cannon’ – it can dish out major damage but needs careful protection from incoming attacks.
Following the conclusion of the Swampert Tera Raid battles, The Pokemon Company throws down the gauntlet with Emboar the Unrivaled. This electrifying event kicks off on Thursday, June 13th, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time and runs until Sunday, June 16th, at 7:59 PM Eastern Time. Don’t worry if you miss that window – trainers will have a second chance to challenge Emboar from June 20th to 23rd at the same times.
This formidable foe will be no pushover, sporting the Mightiest Mark. But the real surprise is Emboar’s Electric-type Tera Type. This unexpected twist throws a curveball at trainers expecting a standard Fire-type encounter. To complement this new typing, Emboar will likely utilize its Hidden Ability, Reckless. This ability amplifies the power of moves that inflict recoil damage on the user, making Emboar a force to be reckoned with.
Thinking about strategies for this electric encounter? Here’s what you need to know. Emboar’s move pool in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet includes attacks like Wild Charge, Flare Blitz, Double-Edge, and Head Smash, all of which benefit from the Reckless Ability’s boost. Additionally, it can unleash powerful Fighting-type moves like Close Combat and Bulk Up to overwhelm opponents.
While Emboar retains its weakness to Ground-type attacks, it can potentially counter them with Grass-type moves like Trailblaze and Grass Knot thanks to its Tera Type. This means your usual Ground-type powerhouse like Gastrodon, Quagsire, or Great Tusk might need some backup or a different strategy altogether.
The inclusion of Emboar as a Tera Raid boss leaves Incineroar as the sole remaining Fire-type starter yet to make an appearance in this challenging format. With the battle dates set and strategies in mind, trainers can prepare to face Emboar the Unrivaled and see if their skills can withstand the fiery electric storm!
This event not only presents a challenging new opponent but also highlights the ever-evolving world of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The introduction of Tera Raid battles with unique typings like Emboar’s Electric-type twist keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting for veteran trainers. It also encourages strategic thinking and team building, as players need to adapt their approaches to counter these unexpected elements.
