To challenge Ice–Tera Type Empoleon with the Mightiest Mark, Trainers will need to either complete the postgame events that follow the main story or join a 7-star Tera Raid Battle hosted by a Trainer who has completed those events. This special Empoleon can be caught only once per save data. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Empoleon if you’ve already caught it to obtain other rewards—including significant amounts of Exp. Candy for leveling up your Pokémon, treasures that can be sold at Pokémon Centers, items for improving your Pokémon’s stats, and Ice Tera Shards for changing your Pokémon’s Tera Type.
