Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Announce Golden Week Tera Raid…

Summary

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will host a Tera Raid and Mass Outbreak event for Golden Week.
Increased chances of encountering Shiny versions of Gimmighoul, Wiglett, Growlithe, and Swablu.
Event runs from April 29 to May 7, giving trainers enhanced odds of finding Shiny Pokemon.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet pulled back the curtain on an upcoming Tera Raid and Mass Outbreak event taking place throughout Japan's annual Golden Week. The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet event will give players over a week to catch waves of Gimmighoul, Wiglett, Growlithe, and Swablu, each with enhanced chances of being a Shiny variant when encountered.

Known as the Coin Chest Pokemon, Gimmighoul is an unusual Ghost-type critter found throughout Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. While Gimmighoul can be found inside chests covered with coins, occasionally the diminutive gray Pokemon can be found alongside ruins and road signs. Walking up to a standing Gimmighoul will cause it to drop a Gimmighoul Coin before fleeing, while Chest Form Gimmighoul can be battled and caught in specific locations. After collecting a staggering 999 Gimmighoul Coins, a Pokemon trainer can use them to evolve a Gimmighoul into the Steel and Ghost dual-type Gholdengo.

Following the end of the Salamence Tera raid event, Pokemon Scarlet and Viole t players will soon have better odds of encountering Shiny variants of four different creatures. According to Serebii.net, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Golden Week event will begin on Tuesday, April 29, at 8:00 PM Eastern and end on Wednesday, May 7, at 7:59 PM Eastern. The event coincides with Japan's annual Golden Week, a stretch of public and national holidays that runs from April 29 to May 5. During the event, Mass Outbreaks of Wiglett, Growlithe, and Swablu will respectively happen throughout Paldea, Kitakami, and the Terarium. Each Pokemon featured in the Mass Outbreak has a golden-colored Shiny form. Trainers will have increased odds of encountering these Shiny Pokemon while the Golden Week event is active.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Golden Week Tera Raid And Mass Outbreak Event Details (April 2025)

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will host a Tera Raid and Mass Outbreak event in time for Golden Week.
The Tera Raids will feature Gimmighoul, with increased odds of encountering a Shiny version.
The Mass Outbreaks will include Wiglett, Growlithe, and Swablu, each also having increased Shiny odds.
The Golden Week event runs from April 29 to May 7.

Additionally, Chest Form Gimmighoul will appear in Tera Raid dens throughout Paldea, with one-star to five-star variants being featured. Similar to past Gimmighoul Tera raid events, the Coin Chest Pokemon will have an increased chance of being Shiny and will have random Tera types. However, five-star Gimmighoul Tera raids only scale up to level 75, so Pokemon Scarlet and Viole t trainers can use any level 100 team member to farm these raids and outbreaks without a problem.

Preparing a Shiny Sandwich with the Sparkling Power buff will further increase players' odds of finding a Shiny Pokemon during the Golden Week event. The Golden Week event will be a good time for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers to Shiny hunt before the launch of Pokemon Legends: Z-A in the coming months.
