Introduction to Baxcalibur
On June 15, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet announced that Baxcalibur will be the latest Seven-Star Tera Raid boss for players to engage. This upcoming event upends previous expectations by introducing a creature not adhering to earlier established patterns for Tera Raids.
Baxcalibur, donned as the Ice Dragon Pokémon, is the pseudo-legendary addition in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It evolves from both Frigibax and Arctibax and showcases a unique combination of Dragon and Ice types, reminiscent of the legendary Kyurem from Pokémon Black and White. Inspired by Godzilla, Baxcalibur is notable for its powerful physical attack and health statistics, featuring a signature move named Glaive Rush. Players can capture a Frigibax in the snowy terrains of Paldea to evolve it further.
Raid Event Details
Trainers can look forward to battling Baxcalibur the Unrivaled during the Tera Raid which runs from June 19 to June 22, with a follow-up event from June 26 to June 29. The Ice-type Tera type will reward trainers who defeat it with the Mightiest Mark, marking its notable strength, including moves such as Glaive Rush, Icicle Crash, Earthquake, Iron Head, and Crunch.
Key Features of the Baxcalibur Raid
- Baxcalibur will be available in Tera Raid dens from June 19 to 22 and again from June 26 to 29.
- This event defies a prior trend involving pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
- It will provide the Ice-type as its Tera type and grant the Mightiest Mark.
- Baxcalibur’s abilities will necessitate new strategic approaches for players.
This shift in gameplay challenges players to devise fresh strategies when battling this formidable Ice-type creature. Many trainers are likely to select Zamazenta, a Pokémon with excellent defenses and moves like Iron Defense and Body Press, to navigate this challenge effectively.
