Shiny Wo-Chien and the Treasures of Ruin Arrive in Scarlet & Violet Tera Raids
Starting today, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Trainers worldwide can team up to battle Shiny Wo-Chien in 5-star Tera Raid Battles. But this isn’t just any standard raid event. For the first time ever, The Pokémon Company is launching a community-wide challenge—and the prize? Shiny Wo-Chien, Shiny Chien-Pao, Shiny Ting-Lu, and Shiny Chi-Yu, distributed through Mystery Gift… if players can earn them.
Here’s how it works—and what you need to do to claim these Shiny legends.
Shiny Wo-Chien Appears in 5-Star Tera Raids
Event Duration:
Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. PDT
Until Sunday, August 3, 2025, at 4:59 p.m. PDT
Shiny Wo-Chien, one of Paldea’s legendary treasures of ruin, is appearing in 5-star Tera Raid Battles with Grass as its Tera Type. This event kicks off a multi-week celebration of ruinous power, with Shiny Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu following sequentially over the next two months.
A Global Goal with a Catch
Unlike most Tera Raid events, you won’t be able to catch Wo-Chien after defeating it in battle. Instead, there’s a new twist: players around the world must achieve a combined total of 1,000,000 victories before the event ends.
If the goal is met, everyone will receive Shiny Wo-Chien via Mystery Gift—available from:
️ Thursday, August 7, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. PDT
Until Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at 4:59 p.m. PDT
The same challenge applies to the remaining Shiny Treasures of Ruin. If the community succeeds each time, you can collect all four!
Bonus: Tera Shard Sets
For every additional 100,000 victories beyond the 1 million goal, Trainers will also receive a Tera Shard Set (40 shards)—up to 10 total sets per Pokémon.
