Summary
In a surprising announcement,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetrevealed a Five-Star Tera Raid battle against Alolan Exeggutor and a Mass Outbreak featuring Flamigo. Both events will arrive inPokemon Scarlet and Violetin mid-January and give trainers a limited time to catch Alolan Exeggutor without needing access to The Indigo Disk DLC.
Both events will start afterPokemon Scarlet and Violetconclude aYear of the Snake Mass Outbreak event. Known as the Coconut Pokemon, Exeggutor first appeared inPokemon Red and Blue. Exeggutor was among the first Pokemon to receive a regional variant inPokemon Sun and Moon, as its Alolan version changed Exeggutor from a Grass and Psychic critter into a Grass and Dragon dual-type. Taking inspiration from palm trees found in tropical regions, Alolan Exeggutor is a mixed attacker who can use moves such as Dragon Hammer, Wood Hammer, and Zen Headbutt. While Alolan Exeggutor is a rare sight in the ninth game generation, it can be found in the Terarium’s Coastal Biome.
Although catching an Alolan Exeggutor inPokemon Scarlet and Violetusually requires access to The Indigo Disk DLC, trainers can soon catch some in Paldea’s Tera raid dens. According to Serebii.net, the Alolan Exeggutor Five-Star Tera Raid and Flamigo Mass Outbreak events will start on Thursday, January 16, at 7:00 PM Eastern and end on Sunday, January 19, at 6:59 PM Eastern. The event will only last for three full days, soPokemon Scarlet and Violettrainers will have a limited time to participate. Alolan Exeggutor will have the Dragon-type as its Tera type and will be Level 75. Ergo, a team ofstrong Fairy Pokemonthat were useful in the Shiny Rayquaza Tera raid event, such as Tinkaton, Sylveon, and Zacian, should again come in handy against the Coconut Pokemon.

As for Flamigo, the Synchronize Pokemon will appear in Mass Outbreaks throughout Paldea, with an increased chance to be Shiny before any modifiers are calculated.Pokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers can use sandwich ingredientsthat grant both Sparkling Power for an increased Shiny encounter rate and can be used for encountering Fighting or Flying Pokemon since Flamigo is a dual type. A sandwich with either Pickles or Prosciutto along with Salty and Spicy Herba Mystica should suffice in increasing the odds of finding a Shiny Flamigo.
The latestPokemon Scarlet and Violetevents are the second ones that will take place in January. WithPokemon Legends: Z-Aset to arrive in 2025, only time will tell how The Pokemon Company will keep players occupied in the meantime.
