Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can now officially get two of the rarest Pokemon in the game very easily, shiny hunt them, and get them with special Marks, but there's a catch. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been mostly in maintenance mode for quite some time now, especially since no new seasons were released for Gen 9 games and attention began to shift to Pokemon Winds and Waves in 2027 and Pokemon Champions for VGC. Now, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are getting some new, refreshing events, but it's unclear how long this streak will last.
The new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Summer 2026 events include a 7-Star Tera Raid dedicated to Magikarp the Unrivaled, which players can farm for rare items and a chance at catching the unique, iconic fish critter. In this case, the Magikarp from the Raid will always have the Mightiest Mark, which is only obtainable this way. Furthermore, there are Mass Outbreaks with Pokemon being more likely to have a rare Mark, including Dondozo, Tatsugiri, and Veluza from the base game. The DLC is where this becomes more interesting, but it also means owning the expansions.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet officially entered their fourth year...
