TheWater Tera Type Pikachu with the Mightiest Markwill be in 7-Star Raidsduring the event (here’sone of the best ways found to defeat the Raid). While this Pikachu has been available before, it is only available via events and can only be caught once per save data, so players will want to obtain it while they can because it isn’t guaranteed to come back.
In addition to the Pikachu Raid, there will be Mass Outbreaks featuring Pikachu and its friends. Throughout Paldea, players will find Mass Outbreaks of Pichu. The Land of Kitakami will feature Pikachu and Mimikyu in Mass Outbreaks, and the Blueberry Academy will see Raichu and Alolan Raichu in Mass Outbreaks.
Alolan Raichu is not usually in the game, so players will want to obtain one while the event is happening.
