Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are set to host a new Tandemaus-themed Tera Raid event for Valentine's Day, giving players something enjoyable to do with a friend or even a romantic partner during this lovey-dovey time.
Limited-time Tera Raid events are a staple of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet at this point, and that includes special events for the holidays. For Valentine’s Day, Tandemaus will frequently appear in Tera Raids, with players able to find it at all stages of the game.
While seven-star Tera Raid events like the recently finished Mightiest Mark Greninja event are meant for the post-game, Tandemaus will be available for all. Here’s when the event will take place, what players can get, and how players can handle the Pokemon.
When is the Tandemaus Tera Raid Event?
The Tandemaus Tera Raid event is set to run across two days, wrapping up on Valentine’s Day 2023. The official date and times are:
- February 13, 2023, at 00:00 UTC to Tuesday, February 14, 2023, at 23:59 UTC
That’s shorter than players are likely used to when it comes Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid events, as they typically run for three days at a time. Still, players will be able to drag it out a bit if they so desire. So long as players don’t sign online in the game after the event ends, they will receive a new batch of Tera Raid dens at the start of each real-life day.
What Do You Get From the Tandemaus Tera Raid Event?
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players can look forward to getting sandwich ingredients from defeating Tandemaus. Listed rewards include Strawberries and Whipped Cream, though other standard rewards like XP Candies and treasures.
How to Counter Tandemaus
Players don’t necessarily need to come with a specific counter to Tandemaus for this Tera Raid event. While Tandemaus’ evolution Maushold can be quite threatening, Tandemaus has stats on par with Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s starter Pokemon. Five-star Tera Raid battles are generally quite easy for properly trained Pokemon, and they’re made even easier when dealing with a Pokemon like Tandemaus.
Tandemaus’ move set includes Normal and Fairy-type moves alongside the Attack stat-reducing Baby Doll Eyes. This makes steel-type special attackers like Magnezone and Gholdengo the best options for taking it down.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are available now on Nintendo Switch.
